Hideo Kojima is known for his eccentric ideas and approach to everything in life, including how he sees himself as a game developer in the industry. One thing that fans of his know, is that he has established himself quite effectively as a name in the the gaming market since his start back in ’86 with Konami. Now as he pursues his first title with his own company Kojima Productions, he took a few moments to discuss with gamers worldwide his thoughts on the current industry and how he feels a lot of companies are making a critical misstep.

On his personal Twitter account, Kojima broached a few topics, including his own personal philosopher towards being a developer and comparing the games market to that of film. For those interested in his slightly left of center world view, his Twitterpades was incredibly interesting and gave a little more insight into the man behind the legend.

Game creation is different from film making. Let’s say we imagine “a hallway the player is meant to walk down according to the game design.

One notable Tweet in his 17-installment discussion was his criticism of the practice that many companies participate in; the act of outsourcing their development process,

An action game can never be completed by ordering from a blueprint and assembling parts off a factory line…when everything is outsourced, the parts that come back just don’t fit together.”

It’s not an uncommon practice by any means but it isn’t much of a stretch to also believe that this particular call out hits home with his previous employer; Konami. With his work on Metal Gear and then Metal Gear Survive practicing exactly what he’s talking about – well, if the metaphorical shoe fits.
