RE: Death Stranding hype and the Cult of Kojima

in #news7 years ago






I'm personally not into stealth. That doesn't mean Kojima wasn't groundbreaking. The guy invented both stealth and cutscene heavy serious storytelling in video games. Inventing a genre sounds groundbreaking to me.

Sort:  

He did not invent the stealth genre unfortunately, that was Manbiki Shounen (Shoplifting Boy). Other games also improved the genre including Castle Wolfenstein, Infiltrator and the grand father of all of them Tenchu: Stealth Assassins. Those pre-date his games by years and months.

Wolfenstein 3D has been called the "grandfather of 3D shooters" but it was the 3rd FPS from id Software. I guess people only remember things starting from the first killer app. There have been digital currencies before Bitcoin, but none really took off.
