News Kojima mistranslated, not disappointed with PS3

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has said he was mistranslated in interviews and isn't put off by the PlayStation 3 at all.

 

I'm not sure this is anything more than a PR quick fix...

However, Eurogamer have already said he's just beating himself up over nothing as their preview was pretty promising.

 

worst example ever - flying car? what the hell?!

 

I think he is worrying to much, give the guy a chill pill, even if he the guy was pissed 24/7, MGS4 would still be awesome.

And converting other languages to English is often done incorrectly.

 

You want developers like this working on a game you want to buy because you know that the game will be pushed to its limit, especially if they are fully utilizing the newest technology out.

I think any developer with the kind of mind-set/goals as Kojima would be saying the same with an even better console w/ even more space than PS3 so......

 

Nope its not, he is right. The Japanese are modest people who don't like to showboat their products.

 

I guess he hasn't heard of English reserve then, he generalises all Westerners but goes to the effort of retracting a statement for our benefit, seems like he hasn't quite finished reading 'Damage limitation for dummies'.

 

Ok, so he didn't say that promises were made on the cell that weren't delivered? That the graphics in MGS 4 are good, just not TGS 2005 good? And that the cell was maxed out by the game? What did he say exactly, then? His new statement doesn't really add or seem to contradict his old ones.

Perhaps we'll never know.
