Een heerlijk artikel voor de mgs2 fan en natuurlijk ook de zelf-respecterende gamer !!"MSNBC: When is Metal Gear Solid 2 coming out?
Kojima: Probably fall 2001.
MSNBC: Will this game be more violent than the last one?
Kojima: This is something I had wanted to keep a secret, but I will tell you. We are doing something neat this time — the player will do things in the beginning that will determine what age group the player is in, what hobbies and what sex. We're not going to ask direct questions, but we will try to find out in the beginning of the gameplay. And depending on that, there will either be no blood, or if we find out that it is an adult playing, there may be a lot of blood. Obviously if the player finds out how we do it, it might not work; but we are going to come up with a clever system for figuring out what that player is. One thing we wanted to do that we cannot do … we wanted to have the game read what movies the player watches on DVD. For instance, if the player watched horror movies, we would show something gory.
MSNBC: I can just see Psycho Mantis saying, “You love Freddy Kruger and Friday the 13th.”
Kojima: (Laughing) As you saw in the video, there is a tranquilizer game this time. If you use the tranquilizer gun, you can actually finish the game without killing anyone, including the bo es. It's going to be very difficult, but you can actually do it En de grote vraag is nu natuurlijk: 'als PS2 deze kwaliteit aan graphics op het scherm kan toveren, hoe goed staat het dan wel niet met de Xbox?'. Een vraag die waarschijnlijk nog een tijd onbeantwoord zal blijven en waarvan we de eerste tekenen pas bij Halo zullen zien.
