The original PlayStation could play condensed movie files. So from a technology point of view, it’s not difficult to insert live action movie scenes. Since Kojima grew up watching documentaries and science shows, he wanted to insert historical and similar clips to bolster his fiction. However, at that time, he even had difficulty finding documents because he was not familiar with the field of video games. He even went to Japan’s public broadcaster, NHK, to request footage of the scene, but negotiations were much slower than anticipated.
It took him several years to purchase the documents, edit them, and get the rights to include them Solid metal gears. Kojima noted that if he wanted to do something similar today with a new game, he would have a much easier time because of the affinity and familiarity with licensing. Indeed, later games in Metal gears series and Death Stranding incorporates a variety of real-world media references, archival footage, and licensed media.
