Kojima enters Guiness World Record

Post by Jack Stern »

Hideo Kojima, the internationally acclaimed games designer, was in London this week to receive his Guinness World Record certificates, as listed in the Guinness World Record: Gamer’s Edition 2008. His achievements are for Metal Gear, the first video game to fully utilize stealth as part of the gameplay and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of liberty, the biggest selling stealth game on Play Station 2.

Earlier adventure games had used elements of stealth, such as hiding and disguises, but Kojima’s creation Metal Gear was the first game to concentrate solely on these elements, effectively creating the “stealth game” sub-genre.

Keith Pullin, Editor of the Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2008 book, was on hand to present the certificates and said ‘I would like to welcome Mr. Kojima to our family of gaming record breakers and we hope he breaks many more!’.

Kojima is the second videogame designer, after Firaxis Sid Meier, to get a Guinness World Record.

Although the reasons sound.. kinda funny.

There awards are well deserved.

Go Kojima!

Wait, you mean the Guinness World Book of Records and the Guinness beer company are connected?

:shock:

That explains everything...
