| DTG said: It's quite pathetic when developers adher to the demands of fans. We've seen it happen with MGS3 where Kojima listened to complaining players and compromised the story to make it more accomodating for the public. A true artist doesn't compromise his vision regardless of what anyone around him says because if he does it will no longer be true to his original creative intentions. Fan service is what destroys any artistic ambition in games. |
A true artist wouldn't be afraid to use new, improved methods for his art. Kojima, it seems, is.
If he was confident that none approached 90 minutes, why would he throw a phrase that amounts to "as far as I can remember" in there? He's saying, "I don't think they're 90 minutes. I think that's an exaggeration." If he played it twice, doesn't it seem odd that he can't say, "nope, no 90 minute movies in there. Kojima doesn't need a crutch that big to tell his story."
