Kojima on Games

velocity7 — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:21:06 +0000

Here’s Kojima on developing for different platforms other than the PS3:

“I don’t make games for platforms,” Kojima said. “I make games for players, and it’s because of the players that I’m able to be here.”

Statement of the century, right here.

MGO Japan: Training Teachers!

velocity7 — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:20:28 +0000

Looks like on the Japan side of MGO, they had classes that teach people to become instructors in specific areas. Here’s the rough translation I came up with:

Kept you waiting?

On the 21st (Saturday), the elite staff from Kojima Productions will be holding Teaching Coaching!

13:00~ KP_Ocky – CQC, Scanning (Intermediate)
17:00~ KP_OTANI – Basic Actions (Beginner)
21:00~ KP_KUNIBERT – Shooting, Weapon Characteristics (Beginner)

*Each class is scheduled to be held for about an hour.
*Attendance for lectures are first-come first-serve.
*We’d like for people to take only one class per person.

Just so people can benefit from the Teaching Coaching sessions, we’ve put up a manual!
Please be sure to listen to the teachers.

MGS4 Part 2: Kojima reads my letter!

Holy shit, my letter got read at 19:30!

Too bad he still insists that the game is too big. D:

Anyways, the game’s English voices are still awesome anyway, even without the Japanese voices. I do hope he will change his mind sometime before the discs go to print.

MGS4 Not Bilingual

This is according to the Kojima Productions Report by Ryan, Report #81. Random anime fan mailed in about it. Reason appears to be that the full space capacity of the Blu-Ray has been used up.

We still have three months to get them to change their minds before they print the discs though! Go and mail both Ryan and Kojima and get them to change their minds!

If you’re having trouble getting to the mail screen, click here. The Japanese one is here.

I’ve sent my mail (also sent this in Japanese to Kojima’s Hidechan):

Hello,

I heard report #81 and was disappointed to learn that English and Japanese voices cannot be together for the game. Is it possible that you could reconsider this option for the fans? I am sure that the Japanese would also be equally grateful if this option was available.
