nice people long
People are satisfied with making minor upgrades and tweaking things here and there - as long as that's the landscape, it will keep on happening. I don't see a problem necessarily, but at the same time it is nice to see new things come.
nice world body
It's nice to wear a suit once in a while. It can restrict some body movement, but it makes me feel as though I'm part of society. I feel a sense of security because I've conformed to the standards of the rest of the world.
films
To be honest, my friends weren't really as into making films as I was. But I convinced them all to make some zombie films with me.
actions execute gear
'Metal Gear Solid' is, for the most part, an infiltration game. You go somewhere, you execute your mission, then you go back. Those are your actions as the player.
games senseless war
I won't make games with senseless violence. There has to be a reason for it, such as war.
believe cooperation entertainment form match mobile share users vast
I believe that this cooperation between Nokia and Konami will form the perfect match to share the vast potential of mobile entertainment content with users all around the world.
people
Many people are taking 2D games and making them into 3D games by recreating the characters in polygons. But the gameplay's still the same, and that's not what they should be doing.
daily opportunity start
Should I use this opportunity to start doing daily headstands?
dreams
One of my first dreams when I was a child was becoming a painter.
human
I have always had a fascination about what's inside a human being.
created horror maybe next release
If 'Castlevania' wasn't created next to me, and Capcom didn't release 'Ghouls n' Goblins,' then maybe there wouldn't be any 'Metal Gear,' and I would have created a horror action game, because I really like that genre.
worlds
When I was small, I was always thinking about different worlds in my head.
art artistic aspects dedicated games museums music perceived sort synthesis technology various
There are many museums dedicated to technology, artistic endeavors, music, and that sort of thing. From that perspective, I think games really do have a place as a kind of collaborative art or a synthesis of all these various aspects into a whole, and that, in itself, can be perceived as art.
becomes sustain
With a movie, it's probably easier to sustain intensity and seriousness over the 90-minute duration. But in an open-world game it becomes exhausting, demotivating and even uninteresting for the player.
