Metal Gear Solid andDeath Strandingart director Yoji Shinkawa wants to design a real life car.
Speaking to Edge magazine (spotted byVGC), Shinkawa was asked about any future ambitions.
“One day I would like to design a car - a real car,” he replied.
“This has been a long-held ambition for me.”
He continued: “Aaron Beck is a concept artist who makes and customises cars that he designed.
To look at models of cars or planes and think, ‘Isn’t that something you ride on?’
and then to build one in real life is such a big-scale project.
I admire that.”
“I may come across something that I randomly made and find some potential use in it as well.
“Sometimes Hideo gives me very specific, detailed instructions, but he mostly lets me work freely.
Game design is built up little by little like that.”
That process differed with Death Stranding though, owing to working with a specific actor: Norman Reedus.
Shinkawa was working on character design before Reedus was chosen and struggled to get the design right.
“It was more manga-like.
We actually did modelling for that, but halfway through the process we decided it didn’t feel right.
So the process was sketching it out, modelling it, and then eliminating all the negatives.”
Death Stranding was recently released on PC, you’re able to check out theDigital Foundry verdict here.
