Hedo Kojima explained that there is a reason behind it Metal gear The main character in the first game was the cool, strong and quiet personality of the solid snake, but it was in fact due to technical boundaries rather than creative decisions.
As if Translated by autoimmateMetal Gear Director Kojima recently wrote an article A magazine website To discuss the acting of sound and sound in sports, in which he notes that when he entered the sports industry in 1986, “the game still couldn’t speak. There were no voices in the characters.” Not only this, but the Japanese “Kanji fonts were not supported,” instead of cutting roles.
There are three major systems in Japan. Kanji is often used to write words such as nouns and verbs, while hemorrhage and cutter are sound symbols that represent the curriculum. Generally, diamonds are commonly used for gramical reasons, while cutter is used to spell out the words of foreign debt, other than other things. There is no need to say that you will usually not see the full script written completely written in cottage, but it was the same way that matters have to be done.
Kojima added, “The main character of my first title metal gear (1987), the solid snake was born as a silent ‘hard man’ because of these circumstances.
Kojima does not specify her technical abilities as to why Kanji roles were not used, but as Automaton said, memory barriers were likely a problem. There are tens of thousands of kanji roles, though there are more than 2,000 “core” that you can expect to be used more regularly. In any way, it is a Lot To store. There is also a high possibility that on low resolution screens like MSX2 and NES, it is difficult to tell the complex roles of the key and, in addition, have to read. The symbols of the cutter are very simple, and therefore it will be clear on a small screen.
Clearly, the snake was not always so calm, however, with it, the metal gear finds the real sound in solid, which allows us to see that “007 or third reminders of sharp lines.”
