New Yu Suzuki interview!

http://games.kikizo.com/features/sega_yu_suzuki_iv_feb06_p1.asp

It's finally up! Fishie and I talked at length with Suzuki-san about his past and future projects. While there's not a lot of VF5 info here, there are a few amusing tidbits related to the VF series as a whole and some very interesting commentary about the future of games.

I should also note that Suzuki-san has a fantastic sense of humor. /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

"Reality is not really a goal of mine, no. Reality in the context of games is nonsense"
wow just wow,and the Shenmue Universe is still on,great news indeed.

 

Re: Psy-Phi... I played a build of it with Fishie, and it's definitely interesting. It's a lot easier to just jump into and play than VF, and the touchscreen controls are very easy to get the hang of. Since the game isn't out in arcades yet, it's hard to anticipate how it will be recieved and how competitive play will evolve. I'm not sure when its official release is... probably May or so? I'll have to ask.

 

Psi-Phy was on demo at the AM Show back in September (but mysteriously absent at the AOU Show). The very little time I spent there, I noticed the people just looking at it, wondering what to do, with the scantily clad J-bimbos helping them. Of course, just b/c you're at the AM Show don't mean you can pick up just any game.
