Hideo Kojima revealed that he had received military training and mastered several killing skills

　　Well-known game producer Hideo Kojima recently revealed in an interview with foreign media that he had received professional military training and mastered a variety of tactical skills. The creator of the Death Stranding and Metal Gear series said that these practical experiences provide a unique professional perspective for his game design.

In the interview, Hideo Kojima shared his recent experience in consulting for a large game studio's stealth new work. He bluntly pointed out that the development team lacked practical military experience and had obvious shortcomings in the presentation of details such as weapon operation. "They don't even know how to properly disassemble the gun or perform standard shooting actions," Kojima said, a lack of expertise directly affects the authenticity of the game.

　　When talking about personal experience, Hideo Kojima confirmed that he had been receiving relevant professional training and was familiar with a variety of tactical skills. Although the specific training content was not disclosed, the precise restoration of military details by the "Metal Equipment" series and the unique tactical system design in "Death Stranding" all confirm his professional accumulation in this field.

　　In addition, Hideo Kojima also expressed disappointment at the exhibition content of the 2025 Summer Game Festival. He believes that there are serious homogeneity problems in the current game industry, and the "monster-killing" gameplay displayed by too many studios lacks innovation in both picture performance and system design. "The industry urgently needs to inject truly novel creative elements," the well-known producer emphasized.
