Kojima: “As for technology, Europeans are the best people when it comes to video games.”

Kojima demonstrates this international focus by mentioning the partnerships and friendships with international actors and colleagues, including American actor Norman Reedus, Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen and the Dutch game designers he’s working with at Guerrilla Games in Amsterdam: “As for technology, Europeans – especially Northern Europeans – are the best people when it comes to video games.”

Nyxus2715d ago (Edited 2715d ago )

He's using Sony's performance capture studio in San Diego.

Edit: I'm aware of the location of Amsterdam, I live there. :P

C-H-E-F2715d ago (Edited 2715d ago )

You do know that you don't have to live in Europe to be European? lOl You can live in America, however being born in Europe will make you a European. lOl

Guerrilla Games is a European company with an office in California/San Diego however their headquarters is in Amsterdam, Netherlands i.e nortwestern europe.

I think (while truthful) this is a nice little statement aimed at GG. That's one studio that you can't knock for their technical prowess.

Nyxus2715d ago

Yeah but he's probably also referring to DICE's Frostbite Engine and perhaps some of Sony's UK studios (Media Molecule). And of course Guerrilla as you said, the technology he opted to use for his new game.

piroh2714d ago

Well when i first played Killzone 2 i was like...what the hell...the game looked much better than the famous CGI trailer

madforaday2714d ago

Piroh

The game looked better compared to the 2005 footage we saw at E3. I thought the same thing until I went back to the 2005 trailer.

paradigmfellow2714d ago

let's face it, Europeans are more progressive in various areas. That is not to say that they are progressive in everything.

BEASELY2715d ago

I can imagine he's referring to Guerilla, DICE and CD Project.

Nyxus2715d ago

Probably at least some of those. He was also really impressed with Media Molecule, but that was mainly about the atmosphere and creativity of that studio.

KOIMOJO2714d ago

Yeah, those 3 all come to my mind first too when I think tech.

sullynathan2714d ago (Edited 2714d ago )

CDPR isn't northern European. You people need to stop shoving them into everything

BEASELY2714d ago

Dude, they're European.

greywolf392714d ago

Amen to that Kojima-san. Finnaly someone who will apric. that

Atomicjuicer2714d ago

GG are awesome to be fair. Hopefully whatever Kojima's cooking up will be decent

Nyxus2714d ago

I have faith in him and his studio.

Batzi2714d ago

He is the best among mankind.

sdcard4gb2714d ago

That would be my neighbor Ivan.

Day one buy ..
Too bad most devs do not take advantage of the controller’s haptics

CrimsonWing693h ago

I hate that not many have taken advantage of the dual sense.

badz14910m ago

exclusive features like those featured by the Dualsense will only be maximized by Sony's own team, sadly. And they definitely need to do it or it will become an afterthought by the end of this gen with other devs not bothered taking advantage of the unique features. that's exactly the problem with the PS Vita. not enough devs (not even Sony's) are willing to push the envelop when it comes to its features passed the launch period. games like Uncharted GA which uses the Vita to its full capabilities are almost non-existent. even the power is underutilized.

jznrpg17m ago(Edited 15m ago)

They did a great job with the demo version I would guess with all this time they really push it now. Unfortunately nobody else does it. It really can make a big difference in immersion but it isn’t used beyond rumble , speaker and the touchpad as a button

Jingsing13m ago

It will be the second PS5 exclusive game. "Maybe" :/

Valve facing £656,000,000 lawsuit over claims Steam is ripping off players

The owner of Steam has been accused of overcharging 14 million PC gamers in the UK and 'shutting out' competition in a new lawsuit.

Dan502d ago

Overcharging? Have these people never heard of sales?

just_looken2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"Valve, the owner of Steam, is being sued for £656m over claims it is abusing its dominant market position to overcharge players.

The collective action claim has been filed with the UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal by digital rights campaigner Vicki Shotbolt.

In the lawsuit, Shotbolt accuses Valve of ‘shutting out’ competition when it comes to buying PC games and DLC, which has led to 14m people in the UK being overcharged for PC games as a result.

The claim is seeking up to £44 compensation for every UK player who has bought a PC game or add-on content from June 5, 2018."

____________________________

So they are trying to take the apple/sony/xbox approach were there is only one store without ever using a pc for gaming.

Anyone with a ounce of pc gaming knowledge knows steam did nothing when competition and the launcher war happened but now every publisher that had there own launcher with games only available on that platform are slowing coming back to steam.

This "lawsuit" should be directed to launcher's like rockstar's as they have games only available on there like the gta collection or ubisoft with xdefiant heck epic launcher exclusive games. There is no grounds in which steam has locked down content to there platform except there own games though there are disc versions of those except half life alex.

Pc players still have the best choice on game buying with multiple launcher's and site that offers keys like my fav humble bundle but on the same platform we have the worst drm along with those 3rd part launcher's that need to run in the background.

anast2d ago

How about suing them for the game files that the customer should own?

Michiel19891d 3h ago

yes, let's give storefronts the power to decide over properties they don't own, sounds awesome

anast1d 2h ago

I don't understand. Your comment isn't clear.

Michiel198921h ago

I was being sarcastic, 99.9% of games sold on there are not from valve so there's not much they can do about it.

Goodguy012d ago

Steam allows 3rd party apps (which I hate) and...we all know that egs is the one that keeps buying exclusivity lol. A lot of devs and consumers rely on steam hence it's very heavy support.

VariantAEC1d 7h ago

Imagine a child safety advocate switching gears and targeting how a business sells games, weird right? I could be wrong, and maybe old blonds in England with the name Vicki Shotbolt are a dime a dozen... but assuming this is the same Vicki Shotbolt of The Parent Zone, her company The Parent Zone partnered with MS in 2014. That's a long time ago I know, but apparently Shotbolt has ties with the UK government.

I'm not saying anything, but MS doesn't let partnerships like that die.

paulust20021d 22h ago

If I get 44 pound from them I'll only be spending it in the steam store...fucking absurd ..one of the most ethical companies out there and largely due to them not being a public offering imo
