Kojima reveals enormous Ludens statue created by Prime 1 Studio
Earlier this year Kojima showed off the various Ludens toys during his SDCC talk with Geoff Keighley, and one of them that he talked about but hadn’t revealed yet was a 1/2 scale figure by Prime 1 Studio. Today Kojima shows it off for the first time via Twitter, and it is absolutely massive. The figure will be displayed at the upcoming Tokyo Comic Con in December.

That thing definitely has a connection with DS
Plot twist: Inside the statue, there is a Norman Reedass
Mehehehehds
Koji what’s dis https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c99516e86b05c66cfe4bc5be252c9ec1636c725400156d522d11521ddd992ff6.png
That looks like Hitlerry Clinton crying after eating chipotle
Very nice ! So much details… Looking forward to seeing the DS likely evil robot with colors as well !
I really hope this has something to do with the bloody game because if it doesn’t what an unbelievably pretentious waste of time, resources, energy and life.
How about instead of whining , you simply give a constructive opinion?
maybe sucking Kojima’s lower parts is your only idea of constructive thinking? Implying that the making of a stupid gigantic statue with no emotional or artistic background is a waste of time is actually the most constructive thing you’ll here in a place like this, since you know… that time could be spent developing videogames instead of milking the shit out of a mascot design which means nothing because the company it represents has yet to make it’s bloody first videogame…
It’s starting to get toxic in here.Get your vulgar ass out of here.Flagged
You prove every single point I’ve made, please flag me again, every comment that doesn’t go along your fanboyism counts. No need to read them just hit it!
So first you release a vague comment instead of elaborating why and being polite.We love criticism here.Kojima is not a perfect dev.Bit your comment seemed so vague and more like an attack.Secondly we don’t know stuff about the statue.Also you are being vulgar here.Explicit or not,it’s a personal attack.
Also just because you don’t see criticism here doesn’t mean we are fanboys.All the “Kojima is god” comments are satire in case they went over you head.Write proper criticisms of a devs instead of attacking people to prove your point.It’s not about being PC or the criticisms.It’s just that personal attacks are toxic here.Hypocritical or not,I don’t like it man.You called me someone who sucks the genital of Kojima for just calling out your comment as vague whining instead of a proper criticism.The mods are tired of shit like this.Of toxic users like me and you.Let’s just stop it already friend.
Same way I can say the sucking comment was a “joke” but I’d guess you see anything that criticises Kojima as a hostile, toxic threat. I bet you utopic environment is a comment section where everybody loves what you love and there is world peace where we all love everything your god loves, sorry, you ain’t a sucker, you’re just ignorant.
No.I just don’t appreciate it because it ‘s an attack saying that I love to suck dicks.In the Internet it’s normal.But on this website we have rules.SO, you criticize Kojima while playing by the rules instead of trying to play the anarchist here
It’s not. This is probably not for the game at all. This is a mascot for the studio which makes KojiPro stand out from the rest of the studios. They can sell it as a merchandise and they can use this mascot as an easter egg for it’s future games.
It’s not a waste of anything.
Dude You probably took the bait once again.
Boy, I really cherish the days when videogame easter eggs where free, fun, un-merchandised and had some meaning, wish I could embrace the new age like you do.
Pretentious waste of time ? That’s called art, as simple as this. Whether in the game or not, I like the idea of some frontiers between spirit of things and their possible switches to production. Like for MGS, Yoji spouse his own ideas with Hideo… Not the ones we may want them to be. I can’t get why you chose this nickname if you missed this point.
I can’t get why you keep answering to my comments if your fanboyism and blind love for Kojima simply turns your brain into a pile of fecal matter. Giving that “art” argument is probably the weakest and foolish thing you could have said. This mascot design was created by and for a game company that still hasn’t done anything substantial and selling that crap is simply a way for the people of that company to laugh at the expense of fools like you who consider Kojima to be some sort of demi-god. If it was the case of these individuals still working for Konami, selling toys of Solid Snake and all the characters that mean so much to us I would buy into this “art” bull of yours but as of now we are talking about a (VIDEO-GAME) company that is simply making superfluous garbage while waisting time, money and resources. So go to one of them Kojima’s conventions and throw away all your cash on that garbage, then tell me what this stupid vacuous toy means to you, there’s your art.
Yaya, whatever… Go and buy yourself some education if you can’t acquire it freely. You will never get a point in this world if you keep it always that tacky…
A response filled with logical arguments and I am “tacky” and uneducated, lol your rage quit is so cute, happens sooner or later with all fan boys unfortunately. Don’t forget your blinkers on your way to buy the toy!
Hehehe… “logical arguments” like…
“a game company that still hasn’t done anything substantial”…
We are talking about Kojima Productions, right ?? xD
Just read all your comments in this post, see how impolite you are… Face it… Nobody insulted you like “sucking lower parts” or “fecal matter”… And don’t insult fecal / bacterias like that because they likely have a lot more use in the nature than your poor behavior… xDxDxD
This company has yet to release it’s first game . Once more you base your entire arguments on your unconditional love for Kojima, I don’t really care if you find me offensive, people like you can’t see reason beyond that cult-like mentality and simply shut down when someone shoves reality in their faces. I remarked what a waste would it be for this design to be used as a simple mascot and you took that as a hostile argument, that goes to show what a mindless fanboy you are.
“This company has yet to release it’s first game .”
If that was true, I would not experience the extreme privilege, pleasure to have such nice and respectful exchanges with you.
A little piece of advice… Stop victimizing yourself when you get your ass usually kicked hard liked that. It is a quite generic and well known pattern for which you can clearly see that it will never lead you anywhere, makes you feel even more and more uncomfortable, aside tiring everybody around.
I hope you are learning few things on the way…
If not, just keep going, no pain no game after all !
are you telling me you are so unbelievably retarded that you think this Koji Pro is the same as the one that worked with Konami, all the staff, programers, developers, writers? Boy your remarks are not only stupid as in “I’m so desperate I will just think I won the argument and call that guy uneducated” but you are also out of this reality with your Kojima fanboyism. Funny thing is I could actually say your ass got kicked like 3 comments ago but I wouldn’t have as much fun as I have making you feel this insecure with every reply.
Who’s rage is “cute” now my young fellow ? But since you are visibly unable to formulate any single sentence without insulting me, I have no other choice to continue treating you as a little bird dropping.
First of all you don’t understand my point of view :
For example, I am not sure if I am a fanboy nor possibly ashamed if it was really the case. See ? Must be generational.
Try to behave a little bit instead of throwing shit everywhere like a historically childish person.
Second you have no fucking idea about the quantity of former KP that left for new KP. Some of them are also to the point that they keep it secret but few others are not, and they are not the least (progs, designers, etc..).
Third you are the retard to consider new KP as a totally blank company, underestimating talents by thinking they’re logo is taking them all their time over the dev of the game.
And 4, as a direct proof of my previous statements, and in case you have any fucking doubts left, just check that last trailer and buckle up now.
Man… You are among the most dishonest interlocutors I have ever had… Always trying to get pathetic points with bribes of sentences surrounded by insults and disrespect to others…
D.mn..
I don’t understand your point? Dude ha ha, I began saying the bloody Ludens toy would be a waste if it wasn’t linked to the game, you start bashing, is there really any point? Now in your ridiculous fanboyism tell me to watch the trailer to prove your inexistent point? Tell me right now exactly how? I didn’t see anything related to Ludens or anything that actually tells us how the game is actually going to be, it’s a fantastic trailer dude, Kojima is an amazing artist and editor. Now go back and bloody pay attention before going into another hilarious rant, does this notion have anything to do with selling a useless you?
Hahaha, wow Einstein, all is so always crystal clear with you..
Now Kojima suddenly appears as a “talented artist and editor” ? What happened to you tonight dude ?
I thought you said he was “unbelievably pretentiously wasting his time, resources, energy and life”.
See, you are again starting to deny your own words and slightly make me and my pretended stupidity responsible.
Just reading the lines you want wont make you less ridiculous than the stratospheric levels you hereby reached… Let me assure you that. You need an extravehicular suit for such altitudes… xD How about EVA, btw… xDxD
Not talking about myself, but people around here are far smarter than you seem to judge. Whether regular users or mods, most of them are good friends for some time you know ? You won’t fool anybody but yourself.
Fanboyism this, Fanboyism that… I will call you “Fanboyism” from now on…. xD
By the way Fanboyism, look, I am glad you enjoyed the trailer.
The logo / mascot is really nothing. Really fast for them to shape, don’t worry and stop crying like a baby once for all.
No need to call someones brain a pile of fecal matter, sir.
That is basically innuendo, this person is closer to a mindless fan than anything else.

Point taken but you could’ve just left it at pretentious waste of time. Just sayn
Nah, I’d like it if these kids learn something on the way.
Kids?
Try to stop being immature and then you can call us kids
Just sayin’
how was I immature, usually it is best to specify and explain your arguments, with every comment you behave like the kind of person I said you were, can you say the same thing mate?
I love how Kojima and Shinkawa made and amazing corporate logo that turned out to be extremely marketable, obviously Kojima doesn’t want to show anything about DS yet, so this is a way to make some money, and who doesn’t want a beautiful Shinkawa styled statue or figurine on a shelf to display?
As long as we have more crazy designs I’m all aboard, these are levels of creativity from Mr Yoji that we haven’t seen since ZOE2, maybe the B&B and frog Units but everything else was pretty much the same-ish MGS recycles, they are great and I love everything he did for Metal Gear… But just look how weird https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6cf26cc6b4d5aa7f5899b4124800c7f094921db012e046711470e7b7840f2bb5.png those pregnant robots are!!!
Mmm, so you guys really see it all as pregnant ? Strange, not me.. Like a normal belly when arched like that (prob coz I am fat nowadays and won’t accept it… xD).. I am referring to the vertebral column on the second pic… The position looks really arched.. Maybe pregnancy but not convinced at all so far.. ;D
Off-topic : Could appear anecdotal, but Geoff’s show will be the first to be aired live in 4K on YT.. In all cases, I must be way too far from my demux to give a shot at such stream WITHOUT lags, hehe… ;D 1080p will be just fine.. xD

I just want the 4K Fox Engine Death Stranding Teaser Trailer already :'(
You’re gonna wait a while then. No Fox Engine for Kojima.
…what about the XOF Engine then?
How about the ELYK SNYDER ENGINE
(Yeah I know he’ll probably got a lawsuit coz Kyle Schneider but I doubt Konami would dare to)
I have a feeling this game is going to be about Norman reedus traverseing the galaxy, terraforming planets and becoming god lol. You kno it’s true kojima-san, just admit the real secret meaning behind the game
You know I have a feeling that the ludens part could be just like in the book.The game is just like you say.Terraform planets to compete with the ludens’ superiority over Adam’s race.And then twist ending.Adam due to his tampering of nature , becomes a ludens or has been a ludens since the beginning.
Just my gut feeling ya know.
A cool multiplayer idea would be like the mother base fob invasions in tpp but on a larger planetary scale. I’m talking landing on and taking over other players planets that they’ve captured. So it’s a race to conquer each others planets throughout the universe. That would be soooo boss
I’m copyrighting that idea by the way lol you all heard it here first
Sounds good at first but just doesn’t feel right to me
Yea but just think about how cool kojima-san could make that. Lot of things you could do with that
True.Let’s hope the terraforming feature is true.So badass
Boss is in Naughty walls..

OMG. Is this real life? It’s almost here. I can’t believe it’s been almost …….9 years.
And it’s only one week away.

Please try to relax. There is plenty of time.
Yeah its crazy T_T… so much feels. I’m loving FF15 so far and cant believe we get to play this finally too.
True true. Once the world opens up in FFXV I get chills and need a minute to take it all in. Beautiful game.
“I’m afraid it’s been… 9 years.”
Hell yeah ;), about damn time.

I prefer Jack Kirby or Ditko but Stan is so hilarious at times.I wish he could end the FANBOY war .
Just put out one in game footage gameplay trailer and I’m good until it’s done and released
We never know, but it is quite too soon even for the next GDC or E3..
But yeah, even a single snapshot of the sandbox editor in situation would be something great to help us wait.
Off Topic:Ear Drummers is performing for TGA.We may have to mute it.
A little less than 16 hrs before LA LA LA WARDS…
France = 3am 🙁
I believe I will fall asleep and check the Koji-award for breakfast tomorrow…
Yeah not the best time for us Europeans. But the pre-show starts at 2:30 right?
You are right / thanks for the info, I just initially based from the TGA’s webpage countdown, but It seems they’ll indeed stream the pre-show as well from 2:30am in France (CEST – UTC+2).
Not sure I will resist.. ;D
Here in MRU:6 am
Pre Show is 5 am so I think I might do the same as you instead of staying up
Loool
I’m quite busy tomorrow
Yeah, you likely even have more reasons than me to not stay awake until that late.. You also have the option to wake-up sooner / around these hours though…
Yep.I’ll try
It starts 1am here, I think I’ll watch it. If I find it enjoyable I’ll continue watching, if not I’ll just go to sleep and awake to the Koji-news.
Heyyy JJ ! You Scottish if I remember well ?.. Drink a little glass of good old single malt of yours for me ! If I am not too f.ckd, I will be for sure around.
So in Finland it’s around 5am I guess, goddamit. I have to leave to work at 6 ;D… Goddamn time zone differences >_<
Ho shoot, I am not sure but I think I remember you also have a train to take or something… Mobile-data in the train… Nah.. xD So Koji-Award at your office desk then… ;D
Nah, its no biggie :D. Connection usually work quite well in the train. Well I know what I’ll be watching the whole morning XD. Thanks for the time info, I forgot to check it totally. ^_^
My pleasure dude. Look, Nyxus also kindly reminded me that a 30mn long pre-show will be streamed as well, so the stream is in fact maybe going to start at 4:30am for you.. Double-check that in all cases ! ;D
I have to leave for a presentation at 8 at an expo so I’m lucky I guess loool. I think I’ll sacrifice myself and go to sleep early(by early I mean 11 PM)
Good idea to go sleep early yeah :), btw nice avatar :D.
I can watch it tonight at 23:00 hs. After the river plate match.
You lucky ! where r u based ? ;D
Buenos Aires
Cool ! Happy Koji-night to Argentina !

What surprise would that be: Death Stranding is revealed to actually be a Kojima directed Guitar Hero game.
xDxD I bet he would have shot himself in the head like millions times before doing that to us… ;D
Yeah. I would laugh and cry at the same time if that happened XD
I would die at both crying and laughing really hard !! xD
