Hideo Kojima in an interview with The Guardian said his next game is something he has wanted to work on for years, but the technology hasn't good enough until now.
"It’s almost like a new medium," said Kojima . "If this succeeds, it will turn things around – not just in the game industry, but in the movie industry as well."
He added the challenge is building the infrastructure: "You can have successful experiments, but there’s a long distance between an experiment and a place where it’s something that becomes a part of everyday usage."
He says being the first person to do something new is hard, but he wants to be the first.
"For the first person, everything is hard," he said. "But I want to be the first. I want to keep being the first."

Kojima seems like someone who likes the smell of his own farts.
Who needs a "new medium"? What we need is a good & fun game, something you forgot with death stranding. I'm waiting to see but I'm not optimistic. ... Actually, no, I'm not waiting.
Eh. Even if the result ends up being something you don't like does mean it's not valuable. On the contrary, innovation is a great thing, even if the actual innovator doesn't necessarily manage to properly pull off what it tries. It still allows others to copy the good parts, refine them, and breed more innovation, which for its own part pushes the whole industry forward - not necessarily in huge steps, but forward nonetheless.
Stop smoking . Death stranding is one of the best games of all time.
No it isnt.
Maybe play the game and try go for platinum while you're at it.
This does not sound good at all. Please stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
Riiiiiiiiiight...
Oh, Hideo Cagey-ma, I see...
More pseudo-deep bs like Death Stranding i'm guessing...
Be you Kojima be you!
More Hyperbole , now I'm a fan but it's obvious that Kojima would rather make movies but for a few exceptions and those have had to prove themselves over many years the movie business isn't geared around funding large scale feature films where the guy in charge wears pretty much all the hats , so Kojima is stuck making games.
Good luck and I do want the game to turn out great.
New Medium?
Spiritual Silence Hill successor game announced.
