We all know how much Hiideo Kojima likes to air through social networks those ideas that are around his head. Despite being one of the most renowned video game designers, we all know that heart that beats underneath and that he has his sights set on the cinema, hence the theatricality often distilled by his creations, which at times become confused with authentic films, narrating their stories with the sensitivity of a great director.
Kojima cancels a game for The Boys
The fact is that now that we are enjoying the heat of the battle of the arrival of the third season of TheBoys, the Japanese has made public a fact that has caught our attention, to say the least. And it is that because of the premiere of the fiction work of Prime Video he had to forget about an idea that he had been ruminating for a video game. As is well.
In a small thread that has been uploaded to Twitter, Hideo comes to explain that the starting idea of that video game was extraordinarily similar to the approach that Amazon wanted to give to TheBoys, you know, a group of characters who have superpowers and who sometimes don’t use them strictly noble and kind. Almost the other way around, they are wild, they don’t care where they put their hands and many times they don’t care who they pick up along the way.
On top of that, for more INRI, Hideo Kojima has confessed that the idea that was hanging around his head and that he practically began to develop, he had been behind her for a long time and could only bear to watch the first three episodes of the Jeff Bezos-produced series before calling it quits. With what we would have liked to see that poster of «A Hideo Kojima game«…
“I stopped watching the series”
The truth is that Hideo Kojima’s confession is quite detailed and narrates practically the entire process of shock that he experienced when seeing how Amazon had approached the adaptation of Garth Ennis’s comics, Darick Robertson: “I thought about seeing the rest of the series. Actually, I saw some episodes that were released the moment that I was about to start a project which had been maturing for a long time, and I put it on hold because the concept was similar (different sets and tricks).”
Please come make a #TheBoys game. We can team up and conquer! Huge fan, btw. #TheBoysTV

That game in which the car of Death Stranding narrated the story of «a friend (man/woman) with a special squad of detectives he has to face legendary heroes. I was thinking about Mads [Mikkelsen] as the protagonist”.
The reaction of the community has not been long in coming and many have encouraged the Japanese to continue with that vision he had. even the showrunner of fiction, Eric Kriple has asked Kojima Productions to take over a series adaptation. in video game; just like the actor who plays Homelander in TheBoysAntony Starr, who jumped into the Twitter conversation to support his boss’s idea.
Do you think an official The Boys video game made by Hideo Kohima could be successful? If you ask us, we don’t see the Japanese in charge of something like that…
