He has the best Twitter account hands down, it’s what Twitter once was just a dude going through his day.
Most make sense to me, but DeNiro, what’s the story there?
Do you reckon that after the picture is taken he asks “so do you want to be in my game?”
My dream is to one day be famous enough that Hideo Kojima wants to take a picture with me.
Remember when Konami refused to allow him to goto the game awards to receive an award? What a fucking terrible company.
Chaddest Chad, not even worthy real keanu Reevs
Damnnnn, Imagine Jordan Peele and Kojima teaming up on a game with Oscar Isaac and Deniro as main cast?
Super cool
About half of these “random” celebrities are in “Death Stranding”, so he’s most taking photos with his own actors.
random? Half of these people are in Death Stranding. Maybe more than half.
I am a bit saddened he never got to meet David Bowie. Considering how much music of his he loved to use for Metal Gear
I’ve been absolutely loving his podcast. The way he talks about books, music and film is so intelligent and perceptive. I adore it. I’ve been listening to the music he recommends, and reading one of the books he recommends – and they’re really great!
The man is such a cultural connoisseur, such a respectful and complimentary artist who loves to give props to other artists – and speaks about their work in such a way that the artists always respond so gratefully. Take Jordan Peele – they’d never met, or spoke, but Kojima spoke about his films in such depth in one of the early podcasts, and Peele heard about it, and ended up coming on the podcast himself to chat – to say thank you, because he’d rarely ever heard someone speak about his films in such technical detail.
People say things like ‘oh look at all these people sucking up to him’. What they don’t realise is that he is legitimately a legend. Famous, credible actors want to work with him not to be in a video game, but because he’s the one making the game.
Ironically, it’s inside the gaming circle-jerk that he’s often most heavily criticised. In the wider world of art and media, he’s adored as one of the few fully authentic, fully expressive thinkers and creators in the medium.
omg it’s Howard Hamlin
I think is in reverse famous people taking picture with Kojima
Imagine if he teamed up with Miyamoto
Hideo Kojima is the Goat
Kinda funny how he keeps his distance from Phil Spencer
He’s so adorable omg
“Hello. I’m Kojima. I have some badly written dialogue that will make people groan. Would you like to talk about Princess Beach in my next game”
A lot of these are from actors who worked in games he directed, but why Alec Baldwin of all people?
Kojima strikes me as a human Capybara.
Random your ass, more than half of those actors where in Death Stranding and those who were not, will probably be in the sequel.
He needs to work with Ed Boon on a Mortal Kombat storyline.
“Random”
Mads Mikelsen: In death stranding
Guermo del Torro: In death stranding
Conan O’Brian: In Death Stranding
Norman Reedus: In death Stranding
Lindsay Wagner: In death stranding
​
Yeah, so random.
I’m pretty sure he is a fan and his studio is the convention
I follow his Insta and it’s honestly heart warming when he does this. Recently he met Jordan Peele and has been fan girling with him signing DVDs. So wholesome for a man that haunts my teenage nightmares with his horror.
It’s almost like *he’s* famous. So, they’re just pictures of Hideo with friends.
He collects them like Pokémons
No matter how famous we think of someone as being, they see themselves the same way we see ourselves. They just do normal things too. Celebrity worship is kind of weird in that way. I mean it’s kind of weird in alot of ways, but that is one of the ways.
You forgot the one where he’s sacrificing a baby and putting it in a capsule with Ashley Johnson
Famous people and a murderer!
Sorry, best pic is upper right
Man sakurai doesn’t age does he
Famous people + Grimes
Dude upped his glasses game in a big way.
Excited for Alec Baldwin’s debut in DS2 as “Alex Baldman”
of course kojima is into joy division
Kojima was really putting his life on the line standing so close to Baldwin.
I only recognise 6 of these people and one of those I don’t know their name. Can someone name them all?
That picture with Keanu gives me hopes for something that’ll never happen
I wonder if he’s the one that put a live round in Alec’s gun.
I wouldn’t say they are random when I know a few of these faces are in Death Stranding.
Him next to madds makes me happy.
He’s just the best
