Hardcore Gamer: If you came away from this latest trailer with your appetite fulfilled and your excitement evermore greater, well good for you and I sincerely, genuinely, hope that the final product matches (maybe even succeeds) your now-lofty expectations. For me however, I can only come away from E3 with something of a damp and rather deflated state of mind. Not just because it looks like this game is years away from releasing if the brief and monotonous offer of gameplay was any indication but because it seems like Kojima may be going the way of a particular number of AAA developers/studios whose artistic vision and self-gratifying longing for a given message, narrative or agenda, overtakes the logical and reasonable need for unhinged substance.
