Hideo Kojiman odotettu Death Stranding on saatu julkaistua, ja Gamereactorin arvion pääsee lukemaan täällä. Kojima on nyt avannut sanaista arkkuaan italialaiselle Tgcom24:lle, josta raportoi englanniksi Wccftech. Miehellä on selvä mielipide siitä, miksi hänen pelinsä sai huonommat arvostelut Yhdysvalloissa verrattuna muihin alueisiin.
Kojiman mukaan kyse on siitä, että amerikkalaiset pitävät ennen kaikkea ensimmäisen persoonan pyssyttelyistä, jollainen Death Stranding ei ole.
"I must say that the game received rave reviews, especially in Europe and Japan. Here in the United States, however, we have had stronger criticisms. Perhaps it is a difficult game to understand for a certain type of critic and audience. Americans are great fans of first-person shooters and Death Stranding isn't one, it flies higher.
I always try to create new things and disputes and discussions are fine, but it must be said that the Italians or the French have a different artistic sensibility that allows them to appreciate this kind of very original product, not only in video games but also in cinema."
