    At the end, Jun answers that he likes the japanese band 'suck nut show'... No surprise at all.

    Fail DLC is fail DLC. Think about that before going on about how to please your customers. SF4 costumes, MM9 difficulty, RE5 versus. I've got a new phrase for when a company tries to rip someone off with DLC-unlocks, "pulling a Capcom". Not to say the games are bad or anything, they're not. Just the business tactics.

    Anyways, as far as "one unified console", bad idea. There must be solid competition in the market or things will get stale and quality will drop. There'll be no one to try and do better than thus no one will try, period. We'll just get a bunch of mediocre games thrown at us because they know there's no competition.

    Thomas Harris is the first author. He wrote the Silence of the Lambs books. As far as the other two... I have no idea.

    Ferid84 why is it that the 3 some of the biggest games of 2008 were american and other countries developers and not jap Like Gears or War or call of duty or fable or fallout 3 or GTA4 Himm what did the japs make the only gaem i can think of is MGS4 thats it.

    What were the two names he mentioned in the 'artist' subsection? I kept replaying it, but couldn't understand it: "Thomas H---" something, an author. And then he mentions another person totally unintelligibly right after. Lastly, what was the name of the Japanese/Indian? musician he mentioned?

    If anyone knows, I would greatly appreciate a response! Also, maybe you know of a way to get transcripts for this video?

    Thanks.

    Voice timing is out ? Very interesting though !

    Seems like he can speak English through out the whole video and that the timing is of, but at the end he speaks Japanese lol

    why Japanese knows how to make games far better than Americans??

    Yes GameSpot! Finally BtG lives again! Has always been my favourite feature here and I really enjoyed this one as well. Please continue making these, though I know you've covered many of the really big-hitters already.

    while having one, unified platform would be nice, quality of games would go down too. you need competition to create a healthy market.

  • danger_aaron

    Posted Mar 16, 2009 5:35 pm PT

    that would be nice to have all games on one console though

  • danger_aaron

    Posted Mar 16, 2009 5:34 pm PT

    you can't have one universal game console because without variety and competition the quality would drop

    he has a good point of view and great ideas, all this shows in RE series

    Haha, once they asked him what his favorite swear word was, I knew he wouldn't actually say it. I really like him tho, seems extremely smart and really cool.

    good video

  • Kenshin100

    Posted Mar 14, 2009 9:35 pm PT

    He makes a very important point there. Success is not in sales numbers. It whether or not the game is actually satisfying when you play it without the backlash for dumb overlooked things in a game that we notice. Look at how many people that bought fable 2 for example =/

    Interesting his favorite story is movie "My life as a dog".

  • ChiefFreeman

    Posted Mar 14, 2009 12:10 pm PT

    hehe. Funny he mentions COD. He seems like a cool dude. His translator is very good. I could tell by the voice that it was the same translator from the past E3.

  • TXMostWanted

    Posted Mar 14, 2009 11:28 am PT

    I like his viewpoints on what makes a game a success...if you make a game based on What You Think People want, then the game doesn't feel natural & authentic...and people notice that *cough sales...

  • fps_d0minat0r

    Posted Mar 14, 2009 9:20 am PT

    hes soooo right about the connection between sucess and sales.

    not many people are fortunate to have a brain like him.

    i love these interviews but wish the editor could turn the music off or at least not so loud during the interview and in-betweens, or maybe something with a slower pace and low volume
