Hideo Kojima, the creator of metal gear and death debris, recently responded to Tom Cruise when talking about his future plans, declaring: “I want to keep creating things until I die.”
Since starting its business at Konami in 1986, Kojima has created a variety of games, including Snatcher, the innovative Sunlight-based GBA Title Boktai and the infamous PT Demo. The latest game around the island in recent interviews Death Stranding 2: On the Beach,,,,, Game*Spark Ask Kojima about his motivation and thoughts about why he continued to make the game.
“I'm the same as Tom Cruise (laughs),” he said. “My life has been committed to creating things. It's my happiness. As long as my body and brain continue to work, I want to create.

When comparing yourself to cruise, Kaujima might refer to the actor's latest comment at the premiere Task: Impossible – The final estimate. On the red carpet, Cruise told Hollywood Reporter He will never stop making movies and even intend to include it in his 100s.
Speaking of the movie, in Koi's comments on Game*Spark, he did not specify to create the game, just create. This shows that Kojima is willing to make something that is not a game. In a recent video interview with French media BruteKojima revealed that based on what Kojima Productions has done after Microsoft Game OD and Sony Game Physint, he wants to make a movie.
With their longevity and movie speeches, some people think that many island games are already like movies (We even figured out exactly how many cutscenes are in each koi game). However, in an interview with Game*Spark, Kojima solved this and explained that even though his game was influenced by the movie, he always focused on making the game first.
“I've been watching movies since I was a kid, so they affect lighting, character modeling, mentoring, etc. (when I made games), but I realized I wasn't making movies and my basic approach was to think about what I could only do in the game, including the weird sense of play.”
The island’s romp is obvious in some of the unexpected cameos and bizarre Easter eggs you can find in his game, especially when you mess it up. Check out our List of deaths with 2 Easter eggs, cheats and secrets So far, we have found You can make Sam do weird things in hotsprings.
Of course, Kojima is associated with a movie: the adaptation of its own death, Norman Reedus says he wants to star in the role.
