Hideo Kojima said on the Koji10 podcast that he would use a trip to space to design and make a zero-gravity video game, according to gamesradar.com. He said he would like to get above the atmosphere to see Earth, experience weightlessness, try atmospheric re-entry and eat while floating.
Kojima said he would like to make a game to play in zero gravity, noting that controls would have to change because a player could be upside down.
Under the plan he described, he would spend about six months on the International Space Station working out gameplay and controls, return to Earth to make the game, then go up again for a second trip.
