And in Japan it's because...?

Yeah, I'm really excited to see what he can do with this tech... I also like the fact that he dsnt pretend to be a gamer for the sake of PR.

Have to say though, watching it again, some of the tech demo's in that segment really don't look like things you can do on current hardware.
The frame-rate, the lighting, the animations and the lack of any real jaggies or straight lines on characters faces... Really can't wait to see what they have planned for e3 and I'm beginning to think that GZ's will be like GT5 Prologue, bar the massive time gap in between... so that people who didn't play PW (of which there is a fair number it seems) can get caught up to what is going on and then how that leads up to MGSV...

Was also interesting what Kojima said, now that the tech is good enough, instead of trying to model realistic looking faces, they can just scan in real people... and then animate those with performance capture... so would that mean that DH can't be Snake again?
The voice has to match the acting, and the English speaking audience is bigger than the Japanese one (assuming that's the reason they are doing this only for the English speaking version)... so... is Snake, finally actually becoming James Bond, where every movie game he is acted by a different person?

It does seem that from now one, whoever is voicing will also being doing capture, which I LOVE, because it will make the characters that much more alive and believable. What this means for David, unsure, if he's ever brought on for a role, I'm sure he'll be captured too, but I think Kojima is done with the whole animate, and paste the voices to the character deal. In my opinion, this is a much welcome change, and one that the franchise can only benefit from.

L.A. Noire kinda proved that kind of tech and game design can lead to amazing things, even on a product that is flawed.
