"Our industry should know better than this," David Ellis , designer at 343 said. "...Industry full of man babies ."Ellis' complaints were in response to an image of a specific character called Quiet , a sniper character revealed at E3 who will play a prominent role in The Phantom Pain. This reveal followed a series of tweets by Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, in which he said that he encouraged art director Yoji Shinkawa to make characters appear more " erotic ."Kojima has since contextualized his comments, saying "erotic" wasn't the right word, and that he meant more along the lines of "sexy."
