In an earlier interview on the official Xbox Web site in Japan, Q Entertainment's Tetsuya Mizuguchi revealed that his next-generation Xbox title, currently in development, would not be a music game. The admission was somewhat of a surprise, since Mizuguchi is the brains behind music-oriented games Space Channel 5 and Rez.

Now, the former Sega developer has elaborated further.

In the latest issue of Famitsu, Mizuguchi said that his new Xbox game will be "mainstream, aiming right for the strike zone." Mizuguchi reconfirmed that the project will be an action game with heaping helping of drama, and that the game is being developed via a "new method" of game design, though he didn't explain more.

Mizuguchi also revealed that aside from his project for the next-generation Xbox, , most commonly referred to as the Xbox 360, he is preparing a new title for Bandai's qb label. Two titles have been released under the qb brand (in Japan) thus far: Lumines for PSP, and Meteos for DS. Both titles are Tetris-like puzzle games.

Sega should have given him anything he wanted to stay on board.

Must be something with guns and hookers then.

Yes. I'm a blind devotee.

Miz could pack a DVD with photos of his bowel movements and I'd still play it.

The only thing that comes to mind is Mizuguchi's infatuation with "24."

The man understands the need for gamers to have "Bauer Power".

I'm there.

I've gained a lot of respect for Mizuguchi after playing Meteos, and hearing everyone talk about Lumines...Which I will pick up eventually.

 

[Shinobi]

Heh, hope this is nothing like new games journalism...

Ironically he hasn't done much to interest me since he made his racers (Sega Rally 1 & 2, Manx TT, Sega Touring Car), but I hope his new game can do the trick.

Brand new way of design eh? Great, maybe we'll get something like a stick man floating around! Hopefully it will involve COOL MUSIC though!

You can't say that! It's against the law. Or something. You are SO NOT COOL!
