What follows is an untruncated transcription of Kojima’s statement, with some edits made to correct word spelling. Otherwise, these are exactly as Kojima typed it.
Without further ado, you can read his statement below:
So I may conclude that the game creation is to use the magic to this real world with the use of the latest technology. Or to say, to make the dream of the people in this real world come true by magic. But just having technology doesn't mean you can make magic.
Human resoures who can maneuver technology and the environment to pull out their talent is necessary. And the most importantly the vision of the studio has to be accurate in order to embrace technology, human resources and environment. WIth all of these facts make the latest technology magic.
And what I've learned the most in this trip: start up the new studio, hire the staff to work with, find the office, construct organization, work on the latest technology, and step into the challenge of creating the new magic. This might sound as if I'm starting over from scratch.
But I got fans supporting me, friends who share my dream with, all over in this world. So it's not starting from scratch. I continue creating the cutting edge game that I've been doing for 30 years, as always done.
