bug

I just said Gears 2 because i want to believe the 360 has got something that can stand up against the lineup of games ps3 has this year basically.

Did everyone miss this little comment?

Hilarious!  

He just must have had some really lofty visions for this game. Didnt me mention earlier in its development that even the current Bluray disk wasnt big enough for what he wanted to do?

Now he is claiming the PS3 isnt technically capable of what he had planned.  

I wouldnt take this as a knock at the PS3 but more like an example of how ambitious this dude is. Id really be interested in what he had to cut out or water down due to these "limitations"

Well I know Kojima hasn't "maxed out" anything yet, this is his first project, and it's entirely too early in the lifespan :) If anything right now, he's maxed out his ability to program (the way he knows how) on the PS3 hardware, his techniques will develop more and get more acquainted to the hardware in due time (thats if he makes another ps3 project ^^ ). The PS3 is a bitch! But once you get the hang of it you can get alot more than you bargained for :P

All the 360 has more of this and PS3 has more of that is a waste of time. No system on the market can realize this guy's vision. These programmers are artists and each have a different style.

Kojima is the guy who tells you his art is not up to his expectations but in reality it's way better than anything on exhibit. Compared to say someone like the team ninja guy who thinks he's the best developer in the world and he makes the same womanizing, shiny as hell hyper violent crap as he did last gen (Ninja Gaiden is good but way overrated- imo).

I think we all benefit from kojima's humility and perfectionist nature, that game is going to blow people away.

@friedtofu:

The difference is that those claims about Blu-Ray not being enough have been contradicted by later statements that they're not compressing the audio. If there was something truly great which needed the space, uncompressed audio would surely be one of the things to go.

Anyway, gameplay is where it's at and technical issues rarely affect it these days.

we will see games greater then MGS4, Kojima reached the limits of the CELL that he could figure out/what is known. There should be more that could be done, its just not known.

He is a perfectionist, and nothing is perfect. The game is going to rock, I am pretty sure of that

He said the same before MGS 2 came out, the man will never be satisfied. Which is great since he'll keep trying harder.

To the anti PS3 people who are going to leap on this: wait for the reviews then we'll talk.

As for maxing out the PS3, maybe maxing it out with what they know now, just look at the jump from MGS 2 to 3. Next Kojima game will be another jump I'm sure.

You can always count on Kotaku for the inflammatory 'controversial' headline. Out of the whole glowing preview of MGS 4 by Edge this is all they got out of it? Well it's their job to get hits, so whatever pays the bills...
