Hideo Kojima got a bit of flack over his characterization of Quiet in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, seeing as how she wears a small amount of and is pretty busty. Her figurine even had supple and malleable breasts, while a majority of the community didn't mind Quiet's character design some of the community got a bit upset.
In an interview with BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, Hideo Kojima defended his character designs – specifically when it comes to females – and added that if Death Stranding featured a big breasted character, they would have back story.
"What I really want to avoid is, like you see in some games, characters with big breasts with no back story,” said Kojima. “If I make characters that at first glance might look like this then they’ll have a deep background story to give a specific reason why.”
Kojima revealed his intention to give big breasted characters in the same interview where he said that Death Stranding would be unlike anything we've played before.
There's something in that reply that sounds like he's mocking the community that was upset with the character design. The thought gives me a good ol' chuckle.
