Miyamoto is a better game designer. Kojima is a better writer.

I thought Miyamoto was simply a character artist and producer (albeit a highly influential one), not a game designer?

Without Miyamoto there isn't really a Kojima as there probably isn't a gaming industry as we know it for a while longer, the entire trajectory changes. Nintendo succeeded on the back of Mario and LoZ, and they have been the biggest titles for the systems.

Meanwhile Kojima firmly elevated games into the art realm in a way no one had ever done before MGS. Once again it probably takes a serious trajectory change without MGS on the stage, but not as big as if Miyamoto hadn't existed.

Anyone that actually needs to ask this clearly doesn't know much about the industry.

All I know is the ending of MGS2 is damn near prophetic.

both of them are phenomenal and it makes me sad people need to always have such bipolar opinions on things.

that said, kojima brought cinematics and storytelling to the forefront of the video game medium which , while probably overdone in mgs4, was incredible in mgs3 and mgs2 and mgs1. some of the ideas about how the information age makes me people act insane are really interesting

miyamoto's games are far less creative, imo but his games really changed platforming mechanics forever. His games also greatly improved the 3d camera. His name is kind of slapped on everything made by nintendo, which makes me question how much stuff from his games is directly from his influence. That said, his catalogue of games is legendary and I think he takes the win for most people.

I think Kojima is just more creative artist, and miyamoto is excellent at execution and developing proper game mechanics. With the next game by Kojima I know it will be story driven and esotetic, unique, and no one else will make a game like him. With miyamoto, it'l be a well-polished mario game, and idk that just doesn't excite me that much. platformers, imo, aren't a terribly interesting genre.

Kojima is a pioneer who worked laboriously both in the Miyamoto golden age (on the original Metal Gear) as well as the dawn of the polygon (on Metal Gear Solid) ~ helping to bring games into a more serious light. Its like comparing Table Tennis to Volleyball. Theyre really apples & oranges, but one clearly has a certain edge in terms of greatness.

The goal was never to stop at games. The goal is simulated reality. That will never change.

Miyamoto and it's not even close. Kojima is a hack.

It predicted the proliferation of garbage information and the creation of political echo chambers back in 2001 when it came out.
The relevant bit is from where it starts till about 5 minutes in or so.

They're both great, but it's hard to deny that Kojima elevated gaming to a whole new artistic and cinematic level with MGS1. Hell, even MG2 Solid Snake had an insanely detailed narrative for the time, with a lot to say about geopolitics of the time.
