In case 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 disenchanted 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 steadily since he discovered himself between jobs after leaving Platinum Video games, he talks about all method of issues. 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 Lifeless or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki?
”Look, it might be a catastrophe!” Stated Kamiya, “It doesn’t work like in Dragon Ball, the place Goku fuses with different characters. Two individuals with utterly completely different personalities and concepts would conflict. There’s no method you’d get an honest sport of that. Why is that onerous for individuals to grasp?” Kamiya then used a Japanese saying to drive residence his level, saying “There’s a Japanese saying, possibly 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 fallacious type would possibly fly when collaborating with like-minded creators.
In fact, 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 form of collaboration with already established collection relatively than a model new team-up that Kamiya refers to. So even when he doesn’t crew up along with his fellow creators straight, you possibly can’t rule out Kmaiya working with one in all their legacy collection.
