Headline RePLAY – 3.19.12

Today on Headline RePLAY: Hideo Kojima hints about a film project, a complaint to the FTC and BBB is lodged against EA and BioWare for Mass Effect 3’s ending and speaking of endings, Tetsuya Nomura talks about Kingdom Hearts 3D’s.  


At Smithsonian Museum of Art, Hideo Kojima was asked if he was interested in making films, a lifelong passion that influenced the way he makes videogames.

Kojima noted he is always interested in filmmaking, but does not think Metal Gear Solid would work as one. However, the Metal Gear creator added that something is in the works.  

“I’m working on something, and I hope in the near future I’ll have something to announce,” said Kojima.

The battle over Mass Effect 3’s ending has reached new heights when a fan took the cause to the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. The complaint lodged against EA and BioWare was for “false advertising.”

“After reading through the list of promises about the ending of the game they made in their advertising campaign and PR interviews, it was clear that the product we got did not live up to any of those claims,” said “El_Spiko” on the BioWare forums.

“This is not something I was happy to do,” continued El_Spiko, “but after the terrible ending that was in no way the product that had been advertised to me and the lack of any kind of response from BioWare/EA to address this, I felt it was one of my only recourses. I’ll be returning my copy of the game before the end of my 30 day return policy if the ending still hasn’t been addressed by then.”

El_Spiko encouraged like-minded fans to do the same and send complaints to the FTC and BBB.

While El_Spiko’s claims may be valid, BioWare has addressed the endings last week and most recently on Facebook.

Kingdom Hearts series director, Tetsuya Nomura, sure likes his surprise endings as he speaks to Famitsu magazine about Kingdom Hearts 3D’s main characters and its ending.

“If I had to say who the key persons were, I’d say they are the silver haired boy and Axel,” said Nomura. “This time at the end of the story, there will be the longest cutscene of the whole series where the true form of Ansem and Xemnas, as well as their goals and many other truths will be revealed all at once.”

Nomura added Kingdom Hearts 3D should take about 35 hours to complete.
