Kojima's new game is based on Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's 1970s soviet science fiction, the Noon Universe.

Ok. Thanks for letting us know.
Source?
That's fucking cool if true
My fucking ass it is.
Its a game based around all the space themes that Bowie did because Kojima just can't get it out of his head.
They haven't even started shit yet. Kojimbo is still traveling around the globe fucking hoes and snorting coke for inspiration.
I wanna see an ED209.
>>338128475
yeah just how phantom pain was "based on" moby dick and 1984
kojima is the same as some third grader basing off his own story on other works of fiction
HIDEO KOJIMA presents:
Noon Universe
starring Dutch Cutie: Stefanie Joosten
>>338128475
> caring about Kojimang after the cultural crime that is mgs v
I'm too hurt to even care anymore
>>338131436
This . mindlessly sprinkling shitty references to a specific work =/= based on
>>338128475
I hate that these books are nearly impossible to find in english.
>>338128475
wow, just as i finished reading The Waves Extinguish the Wind. But don't think there is enough place for a shooter game
>>338131762
kill self
Blah futuristic crap. Was hoping Kojima would do a proper police detective game.
>>338132448
but Strugatsky world is all about detective. You research and pursue the group of super humans and aliens who try to transform and rule the world from behind the curtain
A major theme in the Noon Universe novels is the advanced civilization that secretly influences the development of a lesser civilization. Many of the novels focus on the progressors, groups of Earth humans who live in secret among more primitive societies on other planets and influence their development. Throughout the novels, humanity is aware of its having been influenced by the supercivilization that they call the Wanderers. The morality of this type of influence is a central question posed by the series.
The Ludens, too, secretly influence humanity, but they are thought to be not the Wanderers. Exposition in "The Time Wanderers" reveals that the Ludens themselves perceive two further stages of human development, and that some Ludens may have already progressed onward to some sort of super-Luden existence. Both humans and Ludens seem to believe that the Wanderers represent a civilization still greater than any that ever originated on Earth. Later Boris Strugatsky in the off-line interview to rusf.ru endorsed the version that Ludens are in fact part of Wanderer multispecies civilization, that the Wanderers are composed of "Ludens of different species"

Huh, sounds kinda like A Study in Emerald
Whenever anyone acts like the setting or story matters in a kojimbo game, I start laughing uncontrollably. The man has absolutely zero writing skill.
>>338128475
You play as the progressor.
>They are agents embedded in less advanced humanoid civilizations in order to accelerate their development or resolve their problems. Progressors' methods range from rescuing local scientists and artists to overthrowing local governments.
>>338131762
Blame konami for that pleb.
>>338132831
>advanced civilization that secretly influences the development of a lesser civilization
So its annunaki bullshit all over again.
>>338132831
if you are interested in this universe and the setting, I recommend you watching the movie "Hard to be a God" (based on Strugatsky's novel) it follows the story of a Progressor on a humanoid planet that is still in the medieval phase of cultural evolution.

This, his last stop was Stockholm, Sweden but rumor has it he rode a bus to Rösengard, Malmö after his visit to DICE HQ, and singlehandedly wiped out an ISIS cell there, when Swedish Polis arrived on scene they said they saw a tiny asian man with a beard and green cape and eyepatch attacking a new-Swede while yelling "ROCKETO PAUNCH!", he then sped off on some "segway with arms" looking thing.
We're 98% certain that was Kojima
>>338133078
As if Kojima is not responsible for wasting millions of dollars
>>338132831
Yeah this is something even a stoner can come up with
>>338133078
> Kojicucks actually believe its all Konami's fault
He's atleast responsible for half of the game's missteps
>>338128475

>Get out of here, Snake.

Well, good company for Kojima.
>>338134296
Thats what i found
>>338133559
That's the impression I got, anyone have an actual source on this being a new game?
>>338134386
Wait, what?
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's Roadside Picnic > Tarkovsky's Stalker movie > S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series > Fanfics that you're talking about.
