Finally, in Metal Gear Solid (MGS) V: Ground zeroes PC version, you can play as the creator, Hideo Kojima as the main character to replace Snake! But not in the form of characters that you can unlock after completing a mission or completing the game, but of course with the use of a particular mod.
Yes, although it is known as someone who is "annoying" and loves to troll his gamers, But Hideo Kojima is still very much loved by the fans of MGS. The proof, a modder named Sergeanur who made a special mod to play in the game as Kojima as a form of "tribute" to the creators. The workings of this mod is very simple, namely by replacing the model character of Snake in MGS V: Ground zeroes with character models Hideo Kojima made by the modder. Watch the Kojima' action in Ground zeroes documented by a YouTube user named Trikz Me below.
In addition to releasing some of the tools that can be used to modify the character models Snake, Sergeanur also create a tutorial that you can follow to implement this mod. But of course, using a variety of tools and this mod has high risk, so if you are afraid of your game becomes chaotic or you can not return to its original state, then it is highly recommended not to use this mod.
Kojima's character design from MGS V: Ground zeroes looks pretty detailed, but unfortunately there are still some parts that are less polished, especially on the cheeks that look quite strange. But for the size of a model of a character that is not made officially by Kojima Productions, this model is quite similar to the original anyway.
