Hideo Kojima visits Sucker Punch Productions in Seattle
After visiting VASG and paying a visit to some friends in LA, Kojima and his colleagues continued their 10-day trip with Mark Cerny. They flew to Seattle, where Sony’s studio Sucker Punch Productions is based, known for its Sly Cooper and Infamous games.
Now, there’s one more very important matter. Kojima has asked via a poll on Twitter if he should shave or not. So let it be democratically decided: do we want bearded Kojima or clean shaven Kojima? As of now, an overwhelming majority of around 80% is in favor of the first option. Cast your vote and be a part of history.
Should I shave?

He should keep it…it really fits him and makes him look more like a man of his age…i mean cmon without the beard he looks like he is in his 30s…
ahhh who am i kidding he still looks like he is 30 even with the beard…. (jealousy intensifies)
He looks like a Big Boss now.
I think you should make this an MGI pool and then send the results to Kojima xD
Asking the real questions!
I think it’s great that he is visiting different studios/game developers. Even as a veteran game developer, Kojima is always keen to learn new things about creating video games not only to give him new ideas but to also improve himself as a game creator.
Hopefully conversing with fellow game developers around the world will give him lots of inspiration for his upcoming project. 🙂
YUP
I think Hideo uses this mostly as an excuse to drink heavily xD
Great to see Kojima having fun and visiting all these places! 😀
Btw they look kinda wasted in the 2nd last image lol xD.
lmao

Obviously keep the beard, it really is the greatest thing ever. Now he can be a grizzled game director. The Beard stays 🙂
Good to see my compatriot Ken Mendoza making it to the new KojiPro. I guess he’s the one updating the Spanish Kojima twitter account.
From what we know only 4 people joined the new studio: Kojima, Shinkawa, Ken and Ayako. How do you know this about Mendoza?
Yeah that’s him peeking his head behind Kojima in that table photo. And the spanish hideo twitter account has been updating along with the other ones.
Yes, but aren’t those done by fans? They aren’t verified accounts in any case. But strange that they haven’t announced yet that Mendoza has joined as well.
I wonder if Hideo Kojima will have support from all teams He visited.
Or just they technology?
Never played Sly and Infamous but I always wanted to. So… is that mean Hideo Kojima new game will be more action like Infamous?
