Metal Gear Solid 2 released today 23 years ago in 2001. 🎂 A script written in 1999 delivered one of the most eerily accurate descriptions of our current social and political climate so, all the way to the message delivered by an AI. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 小島秀夫 HIDEO_KOJIMA

@Kojima_Hideo @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN "No one is invalidated. But nobody is right."

@Kojima_Hideo @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Kojima really is a genius. Back when I first played this, that dialog was really odd and I was stupefied by it because I was still pretty new to the internet at the time. Now when you look at this same dialogue post-2020, its horrifying how accurate it is.

@Kojima_Hideo @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Kojima truly a visionary and was ahead of his time here

@Kojima_Hideo @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN "Raiden, turn the game console off, now."

@Kojima_Hideo @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Metal gear is so incredibly important It’s all too eerie a message, it’s almost as if Kojima channeled the message Then he followed through with death stranding, an equally incredibly important game about working together. Unite, don’t fight.

@Kojima_Hideo @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Kojima is the Kubrick of videogames

@Kojima_Hideo @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Masterpiece, magnum opus, GOAT game. 23 years later and it's more relevant than ever.

What I find interesting about a lot of that dialogue, is that it’s mostly bipartisan. At least it’s definitely not hammering in any current day political message, but the overall message is absolutely indicative of how the internet would become.
