What I'm doing is creating a game. I'm not making a movie. To make the game more enjoyable and captivating, and to make the player feel like he's present in that setting, we need the cinematic element.

My problem is that whenever I shoot, I do it Bruce Willis "Die Hard" style - in a very cinematic fashion.

There are so many books and movies I like I never mention specific ones.

Building the future, and keeping the past alive - are one and the same thing.

Games are a way of escaping reality - that's why you need heroic factor.

I want to reassure fans that I am 100% involved and will continue working on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain; I'm determined to make it the greatest game I've directed to date. Don't miss it!

I want my games to teach a message about life, by presenting situations where the answer isn't a clear yes or no.
