Hideo Kojima

A representative from Gaming Culture learned a valuable lesson today during the Konami press conference at Leipzig Games Convention - ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. One would assume being given the opportunity to ask Hideo Kojima a question with all of the world’s major game press in attendance, would warrant a question of substance. Looks like someone had other ideas…

“I’d like to ask if the final game will support rumble.”

While developer Ken Imaizumi was particularly tactful in his response, essentially “we wish,” Kojima added:

Let me add what I think every day when I am developing. At Kojima Productions, there is a guy who is a specialist doing the rumble feature. We call him “the rumble guy.” Right now, he has nothing to do. I am really worried what I should make him do - so I really hope […] I can make use of him.

Ouch.
