"Death Stranding 2" will be available on PS5 on June 26.Recently, producer Hideo Kojima was interviewed by Edge magazine. He said he did not aim to cater to the mass market, but would listen to players' opinions to a certain extent.

Hideo Kojima said he had no intention of creating a game that everyone liked, but he would listen to players to a certain extent.At the same time, he also admitted that in the past, the games he developed often had polarized feedback in the internal test. If calculated in percentage, 40% of people usually liked it and 60% of people were disgusted.For this result, he thought "it was a good balance."

Speaking of Death Stranding 2, Hideo Kojima said that Sony was happy with the positive results of the test, but he personally hoped it would be "more controversial" because he didn't want to make the game like a commercial blockbuster.

"While I hope my work will be more eye-catching, I don't need to pursue a 80% positive review like those commercial blockbusters. I'm not interested in catering to the mass market, or selling millions of games... This is not my goal, I don't pursue these things."

Hideo Kojima also pointed out that he cannot release a game that no one likes, because in the end, he must take into account the business aspects of game production, such as running a studio and paying employees’ wages."Of course, I can't afford the consequences of failure. I have to take good care of my studio, my staff and my production budget. But I don't want to simply replicate something that already exists. I want to create something new."
