that he says with metal gear 3 and then a lot of games came out and better... is just is too early to said that. Now killzone what will use? 200% of ps3 power? the cell is just too difficult to develop in it and it's too early to say that...

i wouldnt say its too early to state that, I believe he pushed the cell to its limit with what he has to work with, other games to come out in years will have updated dev kits and so will be able to do certain things easier and more efficiently. I hope when they make a special release of this game in the near future (Substance, Subsistance, .......?) they update some more things and add more cool stuff!

about using the CPU at 100% capacity are actually misleading. Sure it probably is using 100% but that doesn't mean it's using it efficiently. If these statements were applied to the development of PS2 it would have meant the PS2 games would have never progressed much further from launch games which obviously they did. Which leads me to believe that without time constraints and with further developments Kojima could indeed make the game he had originally invisioned.

He said the exact same thing when he was doing MGS2. "we didnt do our ideal version of the game, we pushed the PS2 to it's limits".



MGS3 came. "we pushed the PS2 to it's limits. it wont get any better than this". When tons of other games at the time had bigger areas in some cases and much better graphics.



Now he's talking about MGS4. And I guess Killzone 2 is using 300% of the cell. It's the only explanation.



Sorry Kojima, but you just don't want to admit that your engine is the problem, not the Cell.

This just makes me want to play the game already, just to see why he's not satisfied...

What he means is that the PS3 is pushed to its limits within the confines of his engine's limits. He did everything he could do in the confinement of his engine which the game runs on. The engine cannot tap out more powerful from the Cell, however that doesn't mean there aren't other ways of doing things with the Cell which can surpass what Hideo currently can do. There are better developers out there, keep in mind Hideo Kojima is not responsible for programming the game, he's the mastermind behind the story, the script writer so to speak. He doesn't deal with the technical side of things. It could also mean that his programmers are maxed out programming for the PS3 that they cannot manage to get more power out of the Cell. However, according to Insomniac, another reputable developer, the PS3 is nowhere near maxed out at present, there are years of improvement still. MGS4 does not mark the end of graphical improvements.

I hope he considers this when making the next Zone Of The Enders. I hope he makes it "double great".

Developers who say "we're using 50% of the cpu" are just blowing smoke. It's all about the efficiency

Remeber Kojima is an Artist (and what an artist) He is never happy of his work because theres allways that "Something" That needs to be done, believe me i have seen it happen with a lot of people that make wonderfull plays

is kojima ever happy i mean look at the first metal gear game

(nes) that was a real failure...

good point there bro, perhaps better development tools and more advance engines can help in the long run
