1UP: We heard that there was a game you were working on before you left UGA that never came to light. Was this what turned into Astro Boy or was it something else?

TM: We had many titles like that. [laughs] It's going to be an experiment with construction and deconstruction. But a few games we tried to make some A.I. creature on the screen using some device and controlling its emotional response.

1UP: Like Seaman?

TM: No, Seaman you have to talk, right? What we were doing was more like fantasy and using some stick, a new peripheral. But the technology of the peripheral, of the sensors, wasn't so powerful. So we gave up.

Sounds like it could of made a great DS conversion if it wasn't dependent on an advanced 3D engine.
 
Don't get me wrong, Mizuguchi is one of my favorite developers of all time and I hope to chat with him at E3.... but man! How many interviews has he been having? A new one pops up every day :lol
 
I hope his Xenon stuff is at E3 this year. Easily one of the designers I respect the most. Although it has been a bit of a overload the last few weeks. :lol
 
This guy... man, he's got the vision and the ability. In 50 years people will be remembering his name with other great entertainment pioneers of history.

Best part of that interview was when he said that we will likely see the first of his Xbox 2 games at E3.
Last I heard there will be 4 1st/2nd party MGS Japan titles at E3. In this list there is one I don't know anything about except the name, so it could very well be Mizuguchi's.

Any word on if these will be playable?

Any word on non-first/second party japanese games at E3?

MS's lineup could be pretty rawkin if they get a diverse mix of eastern/western games at E3..

All 4 should be playable. There is a fifth one that could be there in some form, but since it's planned as a 2007 release I doubt it will be anything but a trailer to build the hype. I wish I could say more. I'll just say one thing about one of these games so people will stop saying I'm just a very big liar: Time travel. You'll see at E3.
As for 3rd parties from Japan, I'm sorry I have no hard facts. I know Capcom/Sega/Namco are all in (I don't know if it's just as publishers like for Condemned or if it's true inhouse japanese developments though), Konami too. Tecmo being there is no surprise either. I've heard some (very) interesting rumblings from the Square-Enix camp, but nothing definitive yet.

Sounds good. Would be excellent to have a stronger eastern flavour to X2's first showing than Xbox probably ever had - all the better if they're playable! Hopefully that suggests they'll be released in a timely enough manner beyond launch (i.e. in the first year/18 months).

Hey, if what I'm saying bugs you so much, I'm very happy. Thanks, that made my day :)
It is not the content that bothers me, I hope that Xenon turns out to be a great console, it is the 'insider' routine in every post is getting annoying.

Like that kid in high school who does not shut up about their dad.

"See the baseball game last night?"
"My dad pitched to Billy Hatcher"

"What do you think about the war in the middle east?"
"My dad killed 20 terrorists in my city, the goverment gave him a medal"

"Australia is cleaning up at the Commonwealth games."
"My dad owns an island too."
 
Just put me on your ignore list if my posts bother you that much. Myself I'll enjoy doing this even more now that I know that it really annoys you :D
Seriously, I try to say the most I can without anyone getting in any trouble because of what they told me. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not a microsoft employee or someone paid by a PR agency to hype MS products. My only official link to MS is through my website, and fansites are about the last to ever know any information.
I know people from MS and developers via personal contacts, so anything they tell me is unofficial and based on the trust they have in me. If one person only tells me something, then I don't talk about it at all, not even hint at it. If I get an information from multiple sources, then I feel more free to speak about it, that's what you get in my first post in this topic. It's not my place to reveal anything important about what's coming from MS. I don't want to have some announced games names listed on websites because of me, I don't want to be blamed (or worse, get other people blamed because of me) because I've said too much before something was totally certain. Like for example listing the car manufacturers in PGR3, while not everything has been completely finalized yet. This is just an example, I do not know this list btw.
If my hinting at stuff really annoys people, I'll just stop doing it and everyone will just have to wait for the press releases. From I've seen some people like to at least get a hint of what's coming, I know I would love to get even a small idea of what's in store for PS3 and Revolution.
 
Blim, just wondering, have you seen Xbox 360 games in motion running off the actual hardware?

Nope, like I told many times already (I don't mind repeating, just making sure people don't get a false idea) as far as visuals go I have nothing. I only saw what has been available on the net. So basically almost nothing.
Sending me pics/movies would be a far bigger risk for my contacts than just telling me some stuff on ICQ/MSN or on the phone. I'd love to see the games, but I really understand why they simply can't. In fact no one at MS outside a select few have a free access to game medias yet, AFAIK.

wow

Lets see what happens at E3
 
Anyway, this topic is not about me and/or society, could we just get back to Mizuguchi's interview or at least let this thread die from natural cause?
