He is notorious for pumping out trailer after trailer before one of his games comes out, videos which heighten the mystery and hype around the respective project. The following trailers listed below are the best of the best. Some of them are objectively good on their own, like a short film, while others are significant for the time and place in which they were first revealed.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Death Stranding Announcement Trailer<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After the debacle surrounding Metal Gear Solid V’s\u00a0<\/em>development and the cancelled\u00a0Silent Hills<\/em>, Kojima came back in full force with a new studio and a trailer for a new IP. Literally every part of Death Stranding’s<\/em> debut trailer was confusing, and fans ate up every frame. Kojima must have had a pretty solid idea of what he wanted the game to be from day one, because elements from the final product are present in this debut trailer, even though it uses a different engine.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>\u00a0Metal Gear Solid 2 E3 2000<\/h2>\n

It is difficult to understate how big of a splash Metal Gear Solid 2<\/em> made upon its reveal. When\u00a0stealth game<\/a>\u00a0first made a\u00a0showing at E3 2000, its graphics blew away and surpassed everything else people saw on the PS2 at the time. The exclusivity no doubt helped the console beat out the competition early on. While the game eventually came to the Xbox, it did not run as well on Microsoft’s debut platform.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Metal Gear Solid 4 E3 2005 Announcement<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This one makes it one the list because of how every moment oozes Kojima quirkiness. It debuted less than a year after\u00a0Metal Gear Solid 3’s 2004 <\/em>release\u00a0and was made using the same engine. It showed no footage of\u00a0Metal Gear Solid 4<\/em>, instead being a comedic vignette with mysterious messages showcasing the future installment’s ambition. Even watching it today, the footage elicits laughs.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Metal Gear Solid E3 1996<\/h2>\n

While\u00a0Metal Gear Solid<\/em> is the third game in the series, it had yet to establish its legendary reputation. Its first showing was impressive, but barely resembled the final product in any way. It is worth viewing today as a curiosity, seeing\u00a0the developer’s original vision for the game.\u00a0While it looks way different in its final form, it is for the better, since\u00a0Metal Gear\u00a0Solid\u00a0<\/i>is often considered one of the best PlayStation titles.<\/a><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Death Stranding Launch Trailer<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Many advised against watching this launch trailer upon release because it includes numerous spoilers for\u00a0Death Stranding<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Looking back at it now, one can appreciate the editing and heightened drama of the fast cuts, even if one has already beaten Hideo Kojima’s most recent game and knows all the story beats.<\/p>\n

It is also funny thinking about how much they spoiled in this video, especially when considering how hidden the story was beforehand.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Phantom Pain Debut Trailer<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hideo Kojima has always been a proponent of bringing singers into the soundtrack and using licensed music to bring out new feelings from the footage.\u00a0The Phantom Pain’s\u00a0<\/em><\/a>debut trailer\u00a0utilized Garbage’s “Not Your Kind of People” to increase the mystery surrounding the project. It should be noted that this is actually the game’s second trailer. The game was actually announced as coming from a fictional game studio with no apparent connection to Kojima or the\u00a0Metal Gear\u00a0<\/em>series.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Metal Gear Solid 4 E3 2006<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This is perhaps one of the most ambitious, over-bloated trailers to ever come out. It comes in at almost fifteen minutes, and truly shows the game’s ambition. It says a lot that the footage still does not show even half of what eventually was packed into\u00a0Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots<\/em>. Early in the PlayStation 3’s life and before its release, many trailers looked too good to be true and were ultimately toned down for the PS3’s hardware.<\/a>\u00a0Metal\u00a0Gear Solid 4<\/i> is one of the only games that looks better in the finished release.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Silent Hills Announcement Trailer<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

First revealed to those who beat the enigmatic and terrifying\u00a0PT,\u00a0<\/em>the Silent Hills<\/em>\u00a0trailer is all fans got to see of the doomed project. Separating oneself from the trailer’s place in history and the tragedy behind the game’s cancellation, taking it as a tiny two minute horror movie leaves a lot to appreciate.<\/p>\n

The voiceover nonchalantly describing his own murder and then menacingly promising to come back while the static slowly disappears is more than enough to send chills down the spine.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Metal Gear Solid 2 TGS 2001<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Game trailers in the early 2000s were often bombastic, filled with fast cuts and explosions. This makes\u00a0Metal Gear Solid 2’s\u00a0<\/em>Tokyo Game Show trailer especially notable. It starts off with “Can’t Say Goodbye to Yesterday”, a song which is used during the game’s ending credits, playing over slow shots of the game’s setting Only after a minute or so does a montage of story moments pop up. In hindsight, one can easily see Raiden’s white hair in a couple of frames, though even with this there was no indication he would be the title’s primary protagonist.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Phantom Pain E3 2015<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Just a few months before the actual game came out Kojima revealed a trailer showcasing the game’s central villain, Skullface. Up until now the themes regarding language were not brought to the forefront, but this dark trailer revealed it as a major driving force of the plot. The violent and uneasy footage is made even more macabre with the use of “Elegia” by New Order. Even with no knowledge of the series, a complete stranger to\u00a0Metal Gear\u00a0<\/em>can more than appreciate the trailer’s message and atmosphere.<\/p>\n
