Honest question: Why does Kojima need a translator? Or more broad: Why do so many Japanese devs need translators? Is speaking English not that important in Japan?

He is embarrassed by his accent and feels that he is difficult to understand when speaking English. More comfortable in his native language like anyone else. Nothing wrong with that.

I completely understand this. With work he could definitely become comfortable speaking English, but it is his choice and we should respect it.
 
I am sure Kojima is a lovely man, but I kind of feel like this is the sort of interview that works better in text format and this should be used to show off games and talk about games and reveal David Hayter

lol,
 
Just the idea that I'll be able to play MGSV on my PC rig maxed out and on my laptop whenever I'm away is just CRAZY.

GZ is already done, send this shit over to Steam ASAP. It's a multiplat engine, this should be a fast process.

...Seriously =_= ?

English is not a main language taught in Japan, they have 'some' education but mostly it's a secondary language.
 
isn't it funny that David Hayter got to do an actual movie before Kojima. Maybe Hideo was just too jealous and kicked him out.
 
4 hours of sleep makes Kojima less of a Diamond Dog and more of a Silly Goose.

Take those extra 2 hours, and keep the films for the weekends.
 
I try to get into this game every time new info or media comes out and I just can't.

Almost 20 years after the original MGS became one of my favorite games of all time, I think I'm completely and utterly burned out on the franchise, the universe, the core gameplay conceits, everything.

I'm kind of sad. It feels like the end of an era. :(

You've been down on the game since... forever, as far as I recall, seems you're just done with it really, which is totally okay.
 
Geoff or whoever chose the questions just have no balls to actually ask questions people want to know that may put Kojima in a complicated position. Hence no Snake in Smash, no Hayter, no ZoE/Policenauts/Snatcher and instead knowing what movie character Kojima would like to be.

It would be boring as shit having Kojima go "No Comment" through all of those questions.

yes... on PC it'll be glorious. Higher res, antialiasing, downsampling, farther distance and pop in diminished. I can't wait.

I completely understand this, but I do wish he would try to take some lessons on improving his speaking, that would be great,

What shut up... Why should he?

Why don't you learn to speak Japanese.

I'd much rather he spent time watching movies and making fantastic games.

Translator is fine..

A lot of Japanese speakers have trouble with English sounds. If you watch the Nintendo directs, Iwata really has to enunciate every word. The languages are just really challenging for each other.
 
I wouldn't give a shit about hearing Natalie Portman's daily routine. What possessed Geoff into thinking that anyone was interested in Kojima's?

Dude you are talking about Konami, they put Pro Evo 8 about a month later on steam than the retail DVD version.
 
This stream makes me extremely nervous about phantom pain.

I dont think there is any way it will release before 2016 and im starting to get the impression it will be no more than 10 hours. Way too much talk about replaying missions.
 
I think English is the translator's 2nd or 3rd language. He's doing a good job especially since I'm not seeing him writing much anything down.
