Renowned developer of titles such as No More Heroes and Killer 7, Goichi Suda, has recently offered his opinions on Sony's Playstation MOVE in an interview with CVG and they're not looking too optimistic.
Suda discusses one of his upcoming collaborations with developer Digital Reality on upcoming downloadable title Sine Mora and explains how the game is suited to the digital distribution model. He also talks of how the director at Digital Foundry wants the game to include steam punk overtones and briefly touches upon gameplay elements as well.
He appears less optimistic about the upcoming motion controller from Sony when asked his thoughts on the device, to which Suda replied that he is:
"concerned about how it will be sold. I've heard it is going to be sold separately but you can actually use it in a set at once. Depending on how it is sold as a developer you have to change how the game should be made, so I'm concerned about that."
In a more uplifting Suda was asked who was the biggest and worst drinkers in the Japanese games industry was that he knew of, to which he replied "Nagoshi-san from Sega, the designer of Super-Monkey ball and Yakuza. He drinks wine a lot - it's impressive."
"Mr Sakurai [designer of Smash Bros., Kid Icarus 3DS], he doesn't drink at all, just Coca Cola."
So now you finally know where all that hungover aggression gets channelled from in the Yakuza games. Don't stop drinking on our behalf Nagoshi-san!
