NASA and Hideo Kojima team up for a Ludens-inspired watch

Guess we can soon find out how big the Venn diagram intersection is between fans of the two.

NASA and Hideo Kojima have teamed up for a project, and it's not the partnership itself that's unusual. Kojima Productions' mascot, after all, is a character called Ludens, who wears an extravehicular activity spacesuit and is meant to be an astronaut exploring digital space. No, it's the fact that they've collaborated on a watch. It's not even a smartwatch — it's an actual wristwatch called Space Ludens that's based on the gaming developer's mascot.

I wish Hollywood would just give him a movie deal and see how it goes.

Lol, based on the thread title I knew it was going to be something like this. Pretty nice looking watch at least

 

[Haeleos]

Can I buy the mask by itself?

 

[Kamina]

Is this real life?

 

[Deft Beck]

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Kojima opens a tapas bar.

 

[Nankatsu]

I came prepared to expect something with Microsoft.

But NASA? Ok.

I used to be a huge fan of Kojima some years ago, but ever since he left Konami the guy has developed such a self masturbatory vibe that I can't support him anymore.

That's a nice fucking watch though. Going to be very expensive.

That is one ugly watch. Wish the back of it was the front of it. I'd like to see NASA partner with Housemarque and have a random Returnal astronaut appear on your watch from time to time.

 

[IWasInSeinfeld]

I appreciate the idea... but God these watches are ugly.

The first initial of Kojima's first name is H.

Nasa backwards is asaN

H + asaN = Hasan

Are you kidding? It would be awful. Referencing movies doesn't mean you can make one.

very nice looking watch

 

[dreamstation]

I'd wear that. Shame it's probably going to be ridiculously expensive though.

 

[Matsuchezz]

The cheap ones start at US$540. This one will probably start at 2500 if not more.
