Should you’ve ever hoped for a collaboration between Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya and Metallic Gear man Hideo Kojima or Nier nut Yoko Taro, put together to be bluntly disillusioned by a person identified for his bluntness.
‘It’s not like Dragon Ball’
On Kamiya’s YouTube channel, which he’s been messing about with fairly often since he discovered himself between jobs after leaving Platinum Video games, he talks about all method of issues. Just lately, he addressed a query he says he’s requested very often: would he collaborate with one other huge identify in Japanese gaming like Kojima, Taro, or Useless or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki?
”Look, it might be a catastrophe!” Mentioned Kamiya, “It doesn’t work like in Dragon Ball, the place Goku fuses with different characters. Two folks with utterly totally different personalities and concepts would conflict. There’s no manner you’d get a good recreation of that. Why is that tough for folks to know?” Kamiya then used a Japanese saying to drive dwelling his level, saying “There’s a Japanese saying, perhaps a proverb? ‘Too many captains will steer the ship up a mountain’… so there ought to solely be ONE CAPTAIN!”
Given Kamiya’s notoriously prickly nature, it’s simple to see the place sparks of the unsuitable form may fly when collaborating with like-minded creators.
After all, Platinum had made Metallic Gear Revengeance and helped out with NieR Automata (which Kamiya claims saved Platinum Video games) earlier than, however that was a looser sort of collaboration with already established sequence quite than a model new team-up that Kamiya refers to. So even when he doesn’t crew up together with his fellow creators immediately, you possibly can’t rule out Kmaiya working with one in all their legacy sequence.
