Sometimes, the video game industry isn’t very kind to titles based on some of the best characters and franchises, like Batman, Star Wars, and others. What happens next is that these projects are announced and revealed but are unfortunately canceled.
Some of these titles were the reason for a lot of hype among gamers. Regardless, fans post about some of these games on social media after their cancellation. And video game studios should reconsider their decision to cancel them.

Batman video games aren’t novel by any means. From vintage games on the Nes to the Arkhamverse. However, in the 2000s and the years following, the only significant titles that have come out based on the character have been by Rocksteady and WB Montreal, which have been part of the Arkhamverse.

Famous video game designer Hideo Kojima’s love for the horror genre is no secret as he has often publically spoken about his affection for classic horror films and games.

Kojima-san gave the world one of the most popular stealth game franchises, Metal Gear Solid, which first came out all the way back in 1987. The games got contagiously popular as he redefined the stealth genre, over the guns-blazing approach like the other games of that period.

Metal Gear Solid, Kojima’s successful game series, is now considered one of the biggest and most important video game series of all time. So, what makes this series famous and enables it to sell millions of units around the world? Definitely the stealth mechanics and cinematic cutscenes that draw the player in.
2015 marked a significant milestone for the Metal Gear Solid franchise. It was the year when Kojima decided to transform Kojima Productions, which he established within Konami in 2005, into an independent studio. Unfortunately, following this divergence, things did not go well for the franchise.

As one of the most legendary video game developers, Hideo Kojima has made a reputation for himself in the industry. From the likes of Metal Gear Solid to Death Stranding, Kojima has a knack for creating amazing stories and engaging gameplay for the player.
Through his nearly four-decade-long career, he’s also had many ideas and projects that have not met the light of day. Remember Silent Hills?
One project that Kojima talked about in the early 2000s was his idea of a “raw game.” The player would be able to play this “raw game” for years if they wanted to. But if they die, the game will end forever.

Hideo Kojima parted ways around nine years ago with Konami following the release of Metal Gear Solid V. The creator couldn’t stand to work with the Japanese publisher after years of being treated poorly. His first solo game was Death Stranding, which released back in 2019. These two universes could be more related than fans know.
The iconic artist Yoji Shinkawa is the Lead Character Designer at Kojima Productions and has been a collaborator of Hideo Kojima’s for decades. He has worked on the design for character in both the Mgs universe and Death Stranding, which means that some details are very similar across both games. The artist has a unique style that is really loved by fans of both franchises.

Stellar Blade is currently one of the most hyped games that are releasing for PlayStation 5. Fans everywhere are pretty hyped for this hack-and-slash action game. Like any game out there, this one has its own selling point too. For one, this game has some very beautiful visuals. Secondly, its combat mechanics are as fun as they can get, and lastly, there’s the conversation about its protagonist, Eve.
Eve is popular mainly for her looks; fans all over the internet agree that she looks exceptional. But there are others who suggest that a character looking like Eve should not be the main focus of a game. While this debate goes on, there’s a third group that suggests that there’s another character who looks much better than Eve.

Video game designer Hideo Kojima has created many iconic video games throughout his career but fans will never forget 2015’s Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for being one of the best stealth games of all time and for being Kojima’s last Metal Gear game. After serving as Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain‘s director, producer, writer, and designer, he left Konami and split his company Kojima Productions from Konami, becoming an independent studio.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain isn’t the latest installment of the Metal Gear franchise. However, it is the last Metal Gear game that was directed, written, and designed by Hideo Kojima as he parted ways with Konami in 2015. The action-adventure stealth video game is widely regarded as one of the franchise’s best games, but it was Kojima’s efforts that made it special.

Ubisoft claims that Assassin’s Creed Red, one of the franchise’s most ambitious games, will finally take place in Japan. This is one of the two announced projects with codenames, with Assassin’s Creed Jade, that apparently will be delayed until 2025.
Thanks to new leaks, there are new details about key changes that will come to Assassin’s Creed Red, like fewer markers; apparently, the game will reward exploration like Elden Ring. The map will be bigger than Valhalla but smaller than Odyssey. Ubisoft is planning to launch Assassin’s Creed Red this year.
Assassin’s Creed Red has a lot of potential and will implement several mechanics from Elden Ring Assassin’s Creed Red will go back to stealth recovering the soul of the franchise.
Ubisoft is really hoping that Assassin’s Creed Red will be a complete hit, after the latest titles of the franchise were not what fans expected.

If there’s one thing that could save Suicide Squad: KtJL from its downward spiral, it’s the inclusion of the Joker, who has turned out to be the saving grace for plenty of mediocre DC media in the past as well. It goes without saying that the character means a lot to many people, but where the fans find it quick and easy to criticize newer takes on the Clown Prince of Crime, it’s the actors playing the part who are on the receiving end of unnecessary hate.
Which is why we had to ask Jp Karliak, who plays the iconic villain in the upcoming Rocksteady Dlc, about how it felt to take on such a risky role and try to fill Mark Hamill’s legendary shoes.

Twisted Metal is a video game franchise that began in 1995 on the original PlayStation. David Jaffe, brought gamers a zany world that involved vehicular combat and cool character design. Winning a simple demolition derby served as the game’s main premise and goal. Between now and then, multiple sequels were released, with the last one being in 2012, although the franchise then lay dormant for around ten years.
Then in 2021, it was officially announced that Anthony Mackie would lead a Twisted Metal TV series that would feature iconic characters and imagery from the game, but would tell a unique, original story. The show premiered in the US in July of 2023, but it is being aired in the UK for this first time on Paramount+ later this month, on March 21 2024.

Konami last year announced something really incredible for the fans: the remake of Metal Gear Solid. The 2004 game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will have a remake with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, which has no release date confirmed at the moment.
But Konami is promoting the franchise with a couple of videos on YouTube about Mgs history with the voice of Solid Snake itself, David Hayter. These videos are about the legacy of the Metal Gear franchise in gaming and how its own genre brings stealth to videogames.

1998’s Metal Gear Solid is one of those rare undisputed classics. Hailed as a revolutionary release in its day, the game’s reputation has arguably only grown since then. If you’re like me, you may even still prefer that game over some of its stellar sequels due to its comparatively subdued style.
Hey, I love Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, but after decades of short film-length cutscenes, obtuse dialog, and generally escalating weirdness, I sometimes look back at Metal Gear Solid and long for its comparatively grounded nature.
But what if I told you that there was a significantly weirder official version of Metal Gear Solid? Actually, what if I told you that version of Metal Gear Solid may be the strangest and most bizarre chapter in a historically strange series of games?

There are not many directors in the gaming industry who deserve to be called legendary, with only a few arguably having made that distinction. Hidetaka Miyazaki, Hideki Kamiya, Todd Howard, and, of course, Hideo Kojima come to mind. Some gamers would even go as far as saying that at least Hideo Kojima would be excellent, if he ever made movies.
And this reference is not lost on most of his fans. After all, he has taken inspiration from movies in his work for a very long time. And it shows too; every single game of his is full of cinematic cutscenes and slow-motion action sequences. Yet, whenever a movie was made about his game, he did not direct it. Why?

There are few characters in pop culture cooler than Snake Plissken from John Carpenter's sci-fi classic "Escape From New York." Played by the also impossibly cool Kurt Russell, Plissken is a former U.S. Army Special Forces lieutenant who served in World War III before being wounded and becoming a criminal. In "Escape From New York," he's offered the chance at a pardon by the feds if he can carry out a dangerous rescue mission in Manhattan, which has been turned into a massive prison. Russell would reprise the role in 1996 in order to reteam with frequent collaborator Carpenter on "Escape from L.A.," which sees Snake playing basketball for his life and surfing the L.A. river. Then, around 2004, he had the chance to voice another character named Snake who looks an awful lot like Plissken, but he turned it down.

Hiroyuki Sanada starrer historical drama limited series Shōgun has been receiving critical acclaim worldwide, but it seems that even within the industry, opinions are divided. While the renowned game designer Hideo Kojima has hailed the series, calling it the Game of Thrones of ‘Japan’, Shōgun’s director, Jonathan van Tulleken, begs to differ.
In an interview, Tulleken stated that he sees Shōgun as more of Succession or House of Cards than a direct comparison to Game of Thrones. Based on James Clavell’s 1975 novel of the same name, Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks developed Shōgun as a limited historical drama series. In addition to Sanada, the cast also features Tommy Bestow, Cosmo Jarvis, Takehiro Hira, Tadanobu Asano, and Fumi Nikaido.

Actor Kurt Russell recently acknowledged the rumor about the actor turning down the job of voicing Solid Snake in Hideo Kojima’s stealth video game series Metal Gear. The character in the video game was reportedly inspired by Russell’s character, Snake Plissken, in 1981’s Escape from New York. The first game in the series, Metal Gear, was released in 1987.
Kurt Russell in Escape From New York
The main reason why Russell turned down the role is because he wasn’t interested in making money off the character. Since he is a “movie guy,” he was interested in finding something new to work on rather than accepting an offer that “expands” the character. On top of that, Russell wasn’t ready to work without Escape from New York’s director John Carpenter.

Metal Gear Solid may be one of the most iconic game series of all time, but it has been a while since fans got any kind of new or original content from it.
Since the upcoming Mgs Delta: Snake Eater is also set to be a remake of the similarly titled 2004 game, it does not seem like the community will be getting a fresh story from the franchise any time soon, and considering how the last installment, Mgs V: The Phantom Pain, was released nearly nine years ago in 2015, the fanbase’s hopes are not exactly too high.
However, RoboCop: Rogue City‘s unexpected success just last year may have ignited something in the gaming industry: what if other 80s action flicks also got adapted into video games?

Great works of art like Helldivers 2 are often signified by their inspirations. In addition to the obvious elements Helldivers 2 adapts from the 1997 sc-fi epic, Starship Troopers, there’s another curious source it draws from as well. Even though Helldivers 2‘s core focus is teamwork in multiplayer, a dedicated group of players has embraced the challenge of solo play. Driven by bugs and launch issues, they’ve developed unique tactics and unearthed a surprising stealth-oriented side to the co-op shooter, revealing semblances to the greatest stealth-action franchise in gaming.

Legendary visionary Hideo Kojima has expressed his satisfaction with the live-action debut of Moon Knight on his show exclusively streaming on Disney+. Moon Knight follows the story of a former mercenary named Mark Spector and how he received powers from the Egyptian Moon God, Khonshu, and served as his avatar to exact his vengeance on those who mean harm while dealing with his other personality, Steven Grant and Jake Lockley.
The premise is definitely up the director’s alley, and this is the kind of story he finds interesting and the weirdness and spectacle is something he can relate to.

Passion does have a definition. In the video game industry, it’s short and sweet, “Hideo Kojima”. The video game auteur designed the Metal Gear series in his initial days following his hiring with Japanese video game giant Konami. He founded Kojima Productions within the company during his days there which later on went on to become an independent studio, giving fans the game of the year 2019, Death Stranding.
The game’s sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is under development and likely to be released next year. It was recently announced during the PlayStation’s State of the Play, giving the fans a glimpse of the game’s narrative. Recently, his documentary, Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds, was released on Disney’s streaming platform Hotstar.

The creator of the popular Metal Gear series and director of Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima, takes a shot at former publisher Konami for their lack of trust and restrictive terms. The early segment of the Connecting Worlds documentary that is exclusively streaming on Disney+ talks about his experiences with his former company which was Konami and how he was constricted on fully realizing his vision.
Developing video games is not a cheap hobby, there are multitudes of layers to understand and people to go through that will occasionally challenge the feasibility of the project and may not see the light of day. Kojima made the brave decision to part ways with Konami and be an independent studio moving forward, fortunately, his credibility served him well which opened countless doors for his company. Sony filled in the void and backed Kojima’s first new and original IP while respecting his independence.

Although it was purely coincidental, it is remarkable how Hideo managed to do it again during the Covid-19 pandemic a few short months after the release of Death Stranding.

Everyone knows who Hideo Kojima is. Counted amongst the most legendary video game directors, he has truly left more than one mark on the industry. His first and most prominent mark was the Metal Gear Solid franchise. These games with truly excellent storytelling and inventive gameplay mechanics have acted as trailblazers for other similar franchises.
After his departure from Konami, he went on to once again build something incredible. Death Stranding was the kind of game people never thought they would want to play. They did, and they loved it. But it looks like this master had almost decided to move on to the movies, leaving video games behind.
