Forums - Gaming - KOJIMA INTERVIEW TRANSLATED: We are aiming mainly at JAPANESE AUDIENCE

Here is the translated version of the interview (some things have been blocked out)

 

1. (The Big Boss image is posted above)
Interviewer: "Is that Big Boss?"
Kojima: It's a little different from XX
(or XXX's next form is a little different)
Interviewer: "Whaaaattt? Different???"

2. 
Kojima: I still can't tell you what the title is, but this is the real deal. Put it this way, it's part of the orthodox "Metal Gear Saga"
Interviewer: Is the time period XXX?
Kojima: No. it's XXX. If I count everything, it's probably XXX.
(The text was mostly blocked out, but it talked about what timeframe the game is based in, and it appears that it's across all time periods. Kojima is also actively invovled in game design in drection)

3.
Kojima: I want the game's core to be aimed towards Japan, and released globally. XXX... It's being made by MGS4 staff
Interviewer: That's awesome!

4.
Kojima: The symbol on the cap of the old man (he did not say Big Boss) will be important
Interviewer: This symbol is different from the fox, it looks like a world map
Kojima: No just the mark, but the system of the game will be new!
Note: Kojima uses "This old man" a lot through the interview rather than referring to Big Boss

5.
Interviewer: It sounds interesting, but do you think people will understand it at all?
Kojima: I think people will understand

Well... Tried my best to translate it, but it's so hard with all the blocked out text... bloody Kojima. That's all I can do for now, maybe I'll give it another go later

Summary:
Interestingly the old man in the cap might not be Big Boss, the story will be part of the main MGS saga and it will go through different time periods. It'll have a new game system, and it's being made by the staff from MGS4

Japan audience eh? What do we thinks this means in terms of the platform(s) it'll be on?

Teaser site nearly confirms the PS3 being the platform this game will be on, its unknown whether or not the game will be for other platforms, despite this there are no confirmed platforms for this game.

Our beloved PS3, Mr. CGI.



ok Japan audience.. either PS3 or PSP... so im guessing it will be released in Japan first



PS3 is good for me!



Not for 360...that's for sure. It's even in a Playstation Famitsu magazine. 360 owners wouldn't even understand this game if it came to their system simply because of all the other games that have come out. The story is very hard to understand. Even I have trouble with it and I've played the game through and through.
