Kojima said that when a creator achieves something new followers of the method appear: they will see how it was done and try to do the same, and some will put a lot of work into going beyond what has already been done; that is another power that cinema has. He said the same happens in games, but they are limited by the technology that currently exists: the difference lies in the work you put in to make the impossible. When you succeed, followers appear and the realm of possibility expands; that cycle is really wonderful, he said.
“I think that followers of this method will appear. They'll see how you did it this time and try to do the same. But some will put in a lot of work to try and go beyond what's already been done. […] But we're limited to the technology that currently exists. So the difference lies in the work that you put in to make the impossible.”
