Hideo Kojima reveals that he has thought of a project similar to The Boys

The most unbearable heroes of all time have also been in the sights of Hideo Kojima: this is how The Boys “stole the idea” under his nose

There is a lot of meat on the fire on the grill Hideo Kojima and his entourage, but the ideas rejected are many for him too: with great regret, the volcanic videogame visionary shed light on the premise of one of them, involuntarily blown by The Boys. The Amazon Prime Video series has done its best to make the detestable world created by appealing to the general public Garth Ennis, and perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the brilliant game designer has only seen the first few episodes. To reveal it is a tweet from the same luminary, which we will include below for you.

Hideo Kojima and The Boys: Sounds like a meme, but it’s not

Apparently, Hideo Kojima must have traced the idea behind The Boys at some point without realizing it. For those of you who don’t follow our non-gaming wing, the premise is simple. This is a pure “deconstructive” attitude that blends Hollywood’s hedonistic delirium with superpowers, from which only great irresponsibility derives. Since deconstruction and realism are daily bread for Hideo “if the player does not take the game world for real, there is no reason to create it” Kojima, this basic idea was definitely in his heart. The equivalent of Mulder and Scully would therefore go against “legendary heroes”, with Mads Mikkelsen in the lead role (to then “recycle” the actor in Death Stranding).

Well, what I had planned stayed in my mind only, so I didn’t incur any cost for labor, material, research, or anything like that.

Ironically, the game designer’s push towards the unfinished project was the same one that guided Garth Ennis in creating the comic. In this case, we are alluding to the domination that the superhero genre exercises over the ninth art. We may never know what would come of it, but hope is the last to die. Ironically, the cartoonist Darick Robertson collaborated with another Japanese designer, Goichi Suda for No More Heroes III. What is more than a castle in the air is Kojima’s title for the Xbox cloud. The latter may or may not be the horror game called Overdose that has been at the center of the rumors for months.
