Konami producer’s critical comment: Rich and big manufacturers are timid and the industry lacks innovation

Konami producer Moto Okamoto is responsible for "Silent Hill 2 Remake" and "Silent Hill F". Recently, he recounted his critical remarks at the 2025 Tokyo Game Show in detail on social media! His personal view is that large companies should not just follow the trend, but should take the initiative to innovate, explore and take risks.

He wrote in the post that large companies have sufficient resources and funds, so they should be brave enough to take risks instead of blindly seeking stability: "Large companies already have money, so they should take risks (if you are an employee, try your best to convince them). - This is just the most basic common sense."

Okamoto said that the "adventure" he refers to is not only a financial risk, but also a creative breakthrough. He criticized some experienced game developers for choosing "low-risk strategies" in creation, believing that this mentality will hinder the progress of the industry: "I can understand if young employees or newcomers have to choose a conservative route because it is difficult to get their proposals approved - but at least veterans should not take this path." f" also received favorable reviews, and KONAMI also launched "Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake", which rekindled players' confidence in the future of the series, but these remake projects are not the "innovation" category he emphasized.

Okamoto concluded: "I emphasize once again: If large companies with funds do not take risks, then the entire economy and industry will not be able to grow. The most important thing is to use actions to prove your words."
