[UPDATE 2] And it's over! Hope you enjoyed it.
[UPDATE] During a Q&A session that followed the presentation, Hideo Kojima made some interesting revelations:
- If he could remake any of his past games, he would choose the original Metal Gear Solid.
- One of the most memorable games he's ever worked on was Metal Gear.
- If he could play the lead role in any movie, he would play a character who doesn't talk a lot; someone like Mad Max 2's Mel Gibson.
- He watches one movie per day, but not when he's traveling. This keeps him motivated and energized.
- He sleeps four hours a night, something his doctor isn't too happy about.
- His original goal for Silent Hills was to create a game that made you "pee your pants," but now he wants it to be a game that makes you "s**t your pants."
The original story is below.
