Better Translation (and its appearantly from Gamemaga)
-Nomura san, what do you think about the Price of the PS3?
Nomura : Its expensive.. But when FF hits it will be lower .. i guess
Kojima : Nobody said that its cheap. But the PS3 is the future. The Wii is fun, but the graphics and functionality are from a past age. As a game designer the Wii has potential but graphics and sound are the most important elements that have to follow suit to movies
Nomura : Thinking about 2 or 3 years later.. The PS3 will be more suited. I think the PS3 will do well when the games we make hit.
Kojima: At E3 i said that the PS3 is a movie theater.. The X360 is a DVD that you watch at home and the Wii is a television broadcast. The Wii is easy to hook up, but in the end the creators will look in the future.. and that is the PS3
- The Wii was pretty big this E3 right ??
Kojima ; The best solution would be Wiis controller with PS3... Every hardware has its strong point and weak point. But cutting the evolution of the PS3 would mean that the industry wont grow anymore. You heard about the remake of Poseidon right? It was a movie from 1972. Back then it was hard to get decent funding for movies and the director put in his own money to get the movie out. It was a huge success and the movie industry changed. If the funding of great games stops.. what will happen... Ill tell you what.. you will only see games like variety programms and gag shows you see in the TV broadcasts nowadays.. its not culture, its nothing.
-Brain training was a smash hit.. but its hard to say that its a game
Kojima : Mr Nomura did you touch the Wii?
Nomura : Yes.. It was fun and i could concentrate on the games. but you had to get used to it i guess.
Kojima : Its certainly fun.. But there are friggin light gun games.. i felt like im back at the 70s. Everyone sits at the table and eats dinner. then everyone gathers to play a game. like cards.. Nintendo tries to relive this age. But now it is the dawn of an age where everyone holds a console of his own to play it alone in his room. The Wii might be a new offering but i think its archaic. It is fun.. But Bashing the PS3 feels like saying "lets get rid of movie theaters".. Are you all okay with only TV broad cast and variety shows..?
