I really was not going to do this. That’s why after I was done with MGS 2, I came up with the game plan--the game design of MGS 3 and I gave it to the team and I said, "Anyone, do you want to do it? Does anyone want to do it? Raise your hand." I was waiting for someone to say, "Hey, I’ll do it!" But no one came up, and I was getting a little hesitant, a little irritated, but given the drastic change in the game system with the jungle and everything, it was very risky to have someone else do it when we were changing things, so I said, "I guess I’ll have to do it myself."

GS: What's your favorite Joy Division song?

HK: I just love all their songs, really.
