Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



After this video, this text will be redundant, but my job requires that I type something here.

Jade Raymond looks great in this video, especially her hair. Fantastic, even. Last year Nick and I saw her at the airport, obviously travel-worn, and no where near as pretty as in this video. To be fair, I also looked pretty bad. Not Nick, though. He's always a looker.

Kojima received MTV's first super-sized pat on the back, with the presentation citing all of the Metal Gear games, calling him the source of the stealth action genre. They also called him the "king of the cutscene." Later, Raymond drops a vintage spoiler on the audience. No need to plug your ears, though, as you've already played that game.

Kojima-kun takes the stage. He's a great dresser. He says that even though he received this award, he "will not retire." 

"I will continue to create games as long as I live," Kojima adds.

Thank you, Kojima. And although Raymond didn't say it, thanks for Snatcher. What an amazing videogame.

You saw Jade Raymond in an airport, and didn't kidnap her? I find that hard to believe. Regardless, congrats Kojima! May he fuck our minds for decades to come.

No game sequel has engaged me and dug into my past with the earlier installments the way MGS4 did. What a series! He deserves this. And I'm so glad he's not retiring!

Raymond is looking real good here, definitely. Not the most captivating public speaker but that's fine. Similarly, Hideo Kojima always dresses sharp and it's nice to see.

Oh, and yes, he deserves this award without a doubt.

... Have I been pernouncing his first name wrong all these years? or is she wrong!? I always thought it was pernounced like video... Hideo... It has to be... I thought that was the point of the joke when you fight psycho mantis in MGS and the screen goes black and and Hideo apears in the corner like someone changed the input on the tv...

Is it bad that I think Kojima is looking hotter than Jade? That suit is quite, for lack of a better word, pimp. I've never found Jade as 'omg hottest dev girl evvvvvar' as a lot of people do, but she has a beautiful smile.

'Grats, Kojima.

Kojima's best game was Zone of the Enders 2, I'd like to see him dip into more games like that instead of shitty melodramatic stories with horrible stealth mechanics.

"King of cutscene" like that's something to be proud off.

God bless you, Nanbu. Hopefully one day everyone will look back and realize MGS is full of pretentious bullshit masquerading as profound brilliance.

Is it possible, just once, to mention an attractive industry-related woman without pointing out that she's physically attractive? I mean, seriously?

She 10 years wrong. Metal Gear started in the 80s. metal gear existed in MSX system. U.S. never got the 2 metal gear games full version until subsistence special edition.

Congrats nonetheless, Kojima. NOW MAKE ZOE3 NAO.

Because women constantly point out how good basketball players are at basketball? Because they like Anderson Cooper for his reporting skills?
