When Sony announced four new PS3 titles during GDC 2009, The Playstation 3 Guy started doing his research about the games and found out all about Ivent's Strength of the Sword. How? He went straight to the source and interviewed Ivent's Kaloyan Ganchev, Game Designer and developer for 'Strength of the Sword'.
The best part of the interview? Kaloyan cleared up ANY confusion about the game, including...
- If SOTS is a PSN title or a full-fledge PS3 title.
- If SOTS will support Trophies or not.
- If SOTS will support Home or not.
- If SOTS will support Sixaxis or not.
- How it is developing for the Playstation 3 console.
- If SOTS is a PS3-exclusive or not.
- Why Ivent decided to go with an animted look for the game.
- Titles that inspired SOTS's gameplay.
PLUS More! If interested, then you know what to do!
In an interview, SEGA Sound Team lead composer Tomoya Ohtani revealed that Sonic’s global music success didn’t come from chasing trends overseas.
I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.
What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.
What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “
Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.
The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson
But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free
Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.
I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.
Diablo III Season 38 launched with Ethereals back, but players are reporting Error 395002, disconnects, and server trouble.
Capcom commemorated the two-year anniversary of Dragon's Dogma 2 with new artwork that fans say contains hints of a major update.
I don't see Capcom revisiting the game outside of a Switch 2 port. It under-performed and generally when that happens any potential future content goes bye-bye.
Exactly.Only the skilled or the cream of the crop have success on the Playstation 3.Capcom,Crytek,Insomniac,DICE ,and Criterion all agree that Playstation 3 development is not difficult.And EA,Namco,Take 2 all agree that Playstation is profitable for 3rd parties.The lies from Microslaves have been brought to light.
need to see more of this game to get excited.
I'm actually interested in Strength of the Sword. The art style reminds me of Mark of Kri and that game was great.
