>War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine.
Hideo Kojima once again predicted the future of War and MGS4 was made nearly over a decade ago. Hideo Kojima is burdened by the curse of prophecy.

APOLOGIZE TO CREATIVE DAD RIGHT NOW
I am not exaggerating when I say Kojima has created some of the best media products of the 21st century.
why does he look horny in every picture?
high test
he is
>proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines
But that was always the case. WW2 is the only larger conflict i can think of where you had legit Nation vs. Nation war.
>that ruler has something i want
>he doesn't want to trade for it and doesn't want to give it up
>but i don't have the forces to just take it
>but if i call in some favors, take on a lot of debt and conscript the peasants i can build an army
>and i know a bunch of smaller parties are going to want to get in on the action as well for their own reasons so they might support me in secret
yeah, congratulations, you finally figured out that war is really fricking complicated.
>yeah, congratulations, you finally figured out that war is really fricking complicated.
Thanks for proving Hideo Kojima is a genius.
He’s one of the actual futurists in modern media
Umm sweaty futurism is problematic
Just about every aspect of gaming you enjoy, you have Kojima to thank for in some way
True
We are probably playing a Kojima game right now, we just don’t know it yet.
>wake up
Diju rike it?
Holy shit he invented war what will he do next?
>gets mad at autists seething about DS
>unleashes Corona to prove his point
>eventually gets tired of Ganker crying about MGSV
>causes a rebellion in Russia
How did he grow this powerful?
"Didja think every battle in history was all part of some big ol' conspiracy? Bullshit! War is just part'a who we are. Why fight it? Anyway, none of this will matter in three hours. Demand for PMC's is about to skyrocket. Like the good ol' days after 9/11!"
Don't forget that he also killed Shinzo Abe in public and got away with it
Didn’t japans finance minister also get assassinated recently? Kojima must be financing his own rebel pmc to take down the country’s corruption. Truly the leader we need today.
I hate that Prigozhin is getting memed as BiBo. He's more of a Miller if anything. The actual IRL BiBo is Wagner himself- the guy whose callsign the PMC is named after.
This would be a more accurate comparison too.
Richard Wagner, the musician?
Nah, Dmitri Utkin, callsign "Wagner" is a Russian special forces officer and known far-right wight nationalist who actually commands the Wagner group. He's literally an IRL BiBo while Prigozhin is just a billionaire with a massive ego who funds the Wagner group to get political power and is now staging this rebellion because the government tried to take his control of the PMC away.
what will PT predict?
It already foreshadowed the overturning of Roe v Wade
Seriously though, name a single creative artist in post millennium with as much vision as Kojima.
Pro tip, you can't.
What about… hmm no. Maybe… nah. I guess you’re right. Kojima is the king of gaming devs.
Kojima has shit takes like the homosexual who created Vinland Saga
>Kojima has shit takes
So much copium
z
>be Kojima
>make some of the most beloved AAA games
>make some of the most beloved niche games no one has ever heard of
>women want him
>/misc/ fears him
>people can't decide if he's a hack fraud or the most enlightened man to ever live
I wish I could be even a fraction as based as Kojima.
He didn't predict the future of war, that was already what war was like. A bunch of corporations profiting on death. Been that way for decades, it's called the military-industrial complex.
He just looked at Iraq/Afghanistan and shit like Blackwater and wrote it into his fictional universe.
So he's right? Gotcha.
He was right but so were a lot of other people at the time, and before him. The literal president of the United States (Eisenhower) talked about it in 1961.
I think the way MGS2 predicted the future of the internet is a lot more prescient IMO.
>He was right but so were a lot of other people at the time, and before him. The literal president of the United States (Eisenhower) talked about it in 1961.
I don't think anyone is claiming that he created this theory. All he's trying to do is make people aware that war is awful.
MID's influence isn't real. total fabrication by midwits that dont actually want to think about complex situations. "its for money lol"
You are a complete fricking moron. Do even the bare minimum research about lobbying and how much waste and fraud there is in the military budget, please.
OP said Kojimbo "predicted the future of War" but war had already been like that for many years.
The ID tag stuff hasn't happened but I don't think it ever will because it's too inconvenient and would be very easy to override.
shalom!
DID YOU RIKE IT?
>nearly a decade ago
The writing was on the wall by the time ARPAnet came to fruition. Thomas Pynchon did it first. Wise up, homosexual.
>Thomas Pynchon did it first.
No one is claiming he created this theory though lmao
Shifting goalposts already? That's a shame
You clearly tout Kojima as some genius imbued with divine knowledge about the state of geopolitics... Really, anyone with any functioning mental faculties whatsoever couldve put two and two together, it just so happened that Kojima was under Konami's employment and was able to disseminate the message to pseuds like you to a grander degree than other mediums and their creators and artisans could (remember, the medium is the metaphor--not the message)
Whatever. Go frick yourself. He's a fricking genius. He predicted the misinformaiton of the Internet and predicted the fricking pandemic. Every game he has created have been a 10/10 masdterpice.
Frick you.
>He predicted the misinformaiton of the Internet
>what is Baudrillard?
Hory shit Black person.
>Baudrillard
>A-AKTUALLY
Shut up nerd. He wasn't specific enough. Hideo Kojima straight up predicted word per word what the Internet is today. He's a genius.
If hes a genius im a enligthened being
Kojima, much like most authors of speculative fiction, was merely just iterating on what he had already read and chose to believe. His ideas and "predictions" are hardly his own, but the same can be said of other writers. What are Fallout and Terminator if not fanfiction aping from Harlan Ellison? What would Yoshiyuki Tomino have written if not for works by Clarke and Vogt, among many others?
A shame most of Ganker is moronic and probably only consumes Metal Gear through youtube videos that say "This game PREDICTED THE FUTURE" or something. I can't imagine playing the games and not being able to notice a lot of very blatant motifs and references in the dialogue, character designs, and cinematography.
it is crazy people think he predicts the future when he's clearly done substantial research and like you said, iterating what he's chosen to believe
But what about Deus Ex
He didn't "predict" anything, he just told you what your news didn't.
It's been this way in USA alone since at least the 20's
GOLDEN RAYS OF THE GLORIOUS SUNSHINE

>Hideo Kojima once again predicted the future of War
This is why people laugh at MGS gays.
The truth is always laugh at by perverse people
>Predicts misinformation of the Internet
>Predicts the fricking pandemic
Actual fricking sheep. Now that's hilarious.
>Predicts the camera so all of his other predictions could be recorded
I kneel Kojima-sama
>enjoy american action and sci-fi movies
>build series out of action and sci-fi movie tropes
>9/11 happens
>suddenly reality is starting to shift towards the more ridiculous shit from your action/sci-fi game which was inspired by the american's movies in the first place
>suddenly humanity starts treating you like prometheus
>ok frick it i'm out of here i'm going to make a game about being a delivery boy during the apocalypse where humans dare not go outside there's no fricking way this will become real life
>covid happens
>ok frick it maybe i am prometheus
can you really blame him?
He's become too powerful.
Sometimes I unironically wonder if global elites like bankers and power brokers play vidya like Deus Ex and MGS and shape the world that way just to troll us
>Sometimes I unironically wonder if global elites like bankers and power brokers play vidya like Deus Ex and MGS and shape the world that way just to troll us
I don't understand this moronic line of thinking.
Did the world just start yesterday for you? Is gen Z the most uninformed generation in recent history?
What will he predict in Death Stranding 2?
me getting sexsexsexsex
The arrival of cephalopod aliens
gender reasigment surgery becoming commonplace and actually successul
Unironically the future of body modifications
Civil War 2
It’s about parasitic relationships and tribalism forcing people to accept cults of personality in fallen/dead idols.
Anon, this has been the case since the Cold War. Russia and China kept gaining political and economic influence all over the world to control smaller nations by proxy and wage a soft was against the USA and EU; both of which became nations of navel-gazers too egotistical to realize their moral codes and rules meant nothing to their enemies, thus allowing them to grow and becoming dependent on them.
>Russia and China kept gaining political and economic influence all over the world to control smaller nations by proxy and wage a soft was against the USA and EU
Anon to call what you just said one-sided would be an understatement.
The US and other western powers have had a METRIC FRICKING SHITTON of influence on the world for over a century.
The idea that only Russia and China are trying to spread their influence is ludicrous and historically illiterate.
And of course you're a dumbass /misc/tard speaking in dog whistles about "moral codes", don't act like we don't know what you're talking about.
>The idea that only Russia and China are trying to spread their influence is ludicrous and historically illiterate
Good thing I didn't say that.
Then again, the EU spent the past few decades burning money on Africa with no political benefit while China created infrastructure and debt-trapped them into compliance. Russia used Cuba and Venezuela to get far-left, anti-USA governments all over Latin America while the USA didn't do shit because "muh Pinochet", "we r not world police let them solve things by themselves."
In less than 30 years the USA/EU lost all their local production/energy to China and Russia respectively, they lost influence over Africa, Latin America and Asia, their countries are losing population fast and are consumed by moronic political infighting.
>And of course you're a dumbass /misc/tard speaking in dog whistles about "moral codes", don't act like we don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about the morons at the EU thinking Russia wasn't going to attack other countries because they actually believed their bullshit about cooperation and economic alliances being coercitive enough. I'm talking about the USA/EU assuming that every single country and person in the world wants to be like them so they would willingly accept and apply progressive ideologies and integrate/cooperate both at an international level and at a citizen level.
And yes, I'm talking about all the racial and queer shit ideologies that come from French and Austrian philosophers that they accepted and turned into hegemonies because their rich people and their academics live in ivory towers and are completely detached from reality.
Kys schizo
>USA/EU lost all their local production/energy to China and Russia
The thing is, why would anyone rely on foreigners for production and energy?
Any self respecting nation will be able to survive on it's own, not rely on other countries, that's just a recipe for self destruction.
Outsourcing production and energy was beyond moronic, but doing everything locally and being 100 % independent is impossible. Just think of all the countries without oil/gas reserves, without access to the ocean, etc.
I accept your concession.
Im Scared about Hideo bros. We must do everything in out power not to let him fly to space in real life. his body wont endure that space training program..
It was already like that before he was ever born.
Don't fricking kid yourself, he's a fricking whacko who thinks he gets to make grand statements on politics because he watched a couple of episodes of Hogan's Heroes when he was a kid.
Hideo-san, I...
I kneel.
I will play your games now.
Wilooks more stereotype chinky every day with those kind of glasses
He was threatened, it's why he said he would stop making games that predict the future.
Once the ability is awakened it cannot be shut off.
LA PREDICTIVIDAD
You do realize he was writing about things which were happening either at the time or in the past, right? You were just a kid so you didn't know it, but if you'd open up a history book you'd probably shit your pants over how it 'predicts' the future.
MGS is an elevated experience
Only the true initiate understand
KojiGOD will make MGS6 and the world WILL be made whole again
>predicted
He DIRECTED it.
Things Kojima was right about
>Memetic Theory
>Rise of AI
>Inter political strife amongst the CIA(Cypher) and rogue factions (XOF)
>rise of Age of PMCs as governments lose control around the world
>Transhumanism through cybernetic prosthetics
>evolution of biological warfare through parasitic conditioning
>targeted evolution through gain of function research
>use of VR training on next generation forces
I can keep going
You’re either blind or moronic if you fail to see his insane success rate at predicting the future.
