Kojima predicts a future without the term “video game”
In a recent interview done by Nintendo Poer, Hideo Kojima has stated that the Term “Video game” will no longer exist and evolve into a new term. This is because he believes as technology evolves so will the term itself, creating a new experience for people. Hit the jump to see what he has to say.
“In this day and age, the video game business is a major entertainment industry that surpasses movies in terms of revenue. But when I started out, it was a completely different story. Back then, the game industry was a place for people with broken dreams to gather because they couldn’t land the jobs that they really wanted. Today, the industry has matured into a wonderful place where some of the most talented people in their field can take advantage of cutting-edge technology and world-class budgets to thrill and awe the entire world.
“In the near future I believe we’ll see the term ‘video game’ itself vanish as our industry evolves and eventually absorbs the movie and music industry to create a larger, all-encompassing form of digital entertainment.”
