Depending on how great a necessity it is for him to be able to play and comprehend this game, he may see the time and effort as being worthwhile. Besides, I don't think he needs to learn the ins and outs just to be able to comprehend the majority of the game. If he's a quick learner, a few months time should do it.
To be honest, I think it will take more than a few months of studying before someone totally new to the language can pick it up enough to comprehend even a good part of the game (3 new alphabets to learn for a start). Ask the people here who know at least some Japanese and I think they'll agree. You shouldn't learn part of a language just to play one game, you should either go for it all the way or not do it at all. It's much more rewarding that way. Besides, I think if somebody started off that way, they might find themselves liking it enough to want to continue further. But to each his own.

I agree with Osiris. A few months would be of no use at all. I have been in a Japanese course for about a year and a half. It is an hour and a half daily at 7am, structured as trimesters. Of course I have not passed all the courses right off the bat, So it is fair to say I have only studied 4 trimesters.
Right now I only know around 500 Kanji (in a basic way of reading, writtng and several pronunciations of each) and my vocabulary is limited (say 1500 words and 200 verbs). I can barely read something as complicated as Policenauts. Of course I get a *basic* idea of it, but it is quite basic for my tastes. and Policenauts uses tons of Kanji that are not even common use...
For another language by now I could read and write, as well as have very decent conversations.. But in this case, it will take longer... I am in what is called at my school "Intermediate II".. and there are at least 4 or 5 more trimesters ahead of that.

um i think I want to just wait for this project to be complete so I can simply play the game. I've always wanted to play Policenauts and be completely into it. You can't get into a game if you hardly know the language of it. Also I truly believe that Hideo Kojima will recreate Snatcher and Policenauts. If your an MG fan like me you'd understand. Hideo Kojima has already announced at the E3 that MGS3 Subsistance that he will recreate Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 and include them on another disc as part of Persistence. And they said that they did this because MG and MG2 are the stories right after MGS3. Now with that information realise that Hideo has always created a special sequel to his games, the integral, substance, and subsistance. So now what comes right after MGS4, what special sequel will they have for it what two games will they remake?

Ehrm... MGS3 is the only one that had older games included as sequels. Integral had a silly minigame where you took pictures of various girls from the game and more VR Missions and Substance had Snake Tales, Skateboarding, and *gasp* VR Missions.
It's also been said that MGS4 isn't a sequel to Snatcher or Policenauts. They take place in different universes even though they reference each other.
Don't get me wrong, it'd be great if Snatcher and/or Policenauts is included with the inevitable MGS4 Director's Cut, but it probably won't happen. In fact, I'd count on having PS3 ports of the Metal Gear Ac!d games or more Snake vs Ape action included with said inevitable director's cut before having Snatcher and/or Policenauts.
Unless of course that Kojima does a new interactive comic - type game after the Metal Gear series, and in such case, there may be a possibility of an accessory re-release. Who knows? Not an interactive comic like Snatcher and Policenauts, but a new type of interactive comic, taking advantage of the new generation console hardware, and in this way, generating a bigger market for the genre. Or maybe he reinvents the genre altogether and finds a way to make something innovative. If the success of such a thing is confirmed, a "Greatest Hits package" may see the light of day.

That's what I'd like to see happen. I think the collective fan community needs to stop bugging Kojima about sequels so we can see some cool new original stuff.kitano wrote:Unless of course that Kojima does a new interactive comic - type game after the Metal Gear series, and in such case, there may be a possibility of an accessory re-release.
