Week 1

Answer 1

A person I really admire in the games industry is Hideo Kojima. Kojima is a Japanese video game designer who has previously worked with well-known Japanese video game company Konami Holdings Corporation (or just Konami) and currently runs his own video game studio, Kojima Productions. He is known for designing/directing the popular Konami game franchise Metal Gear, as well as his work on the cancelled Silent Hills P.T.

Hideo Kojima is an inspiration to me. He blurs the line between movie and game in his story-driven games (you could call it an interactive movie), and his games are typically very polished and well-made. It motivates me to do great things of my own in the industry, and is in fact a factor as to why I came to SAE to develop my skill in game development in the first place.

Answer 4

Well, the answer to that question changes based on what specific event we're talking about here. For example, if I buy tickets to go and see a movie in cinemas (and of course I'm watching the movie unironically unlike something like Morbius), I expect to watch a movie that:

• will keep me hooked at least most of the time;

• is visually convincing, such as CGI (if applicable) that fits the quality of the movie so that it doesn't bring down the movie;

• will provide me with an experience that lasts for a good amount of time (at least the standard movie length); and

• doesn't have utterly crap writing,

• among other things.

Obviously, these exact points don't completely apply if I were to go and buy tickets for a music concert, but the general premise remains. I expect a solid experience where things don't basically fall apart and that I can put in my memory filing cabinet as a good memory.
