Sam Lake, the writer and director behind games like Alan Wake and Quantum Break, along with the upcoming Control , feels close with Hideo Kojima . He expressed his admiration for Kojima and the games that allowed him to sound in a recent interview.
“I love it, there is a possibility to just trust your own vision and go with it,” she said. "Kojima moves brilliantly, I feel. I still don't know what Death Stranding really is, but I'm really curious where it's taking him. There are creative visions, strong visions and opportunities. It's more beneficial to the entire gaming industry for creative people to express themselves. Inspiration Buy it and give yourself an opportunity to try new things.”
In Film, Auteur theory refers to directors who control all aspects of a finished work, often to the point of developing a recognizable style or related themes. That's certainly true of both Lake and Kojima, who brought their movie influences into the video game space.
Lake has crafted a style of stories with dreamy qualities and supernatural elements that put him in good company with the gonzo storytelling of Metal Gear Solid 's Hideo Kojima . Kojima 's next step up game is Death Stranding .
