Edge: Grasshopper Manufacture’s logo says in big bold letters that ‘Punk’s Not Dead.’ That might strike some as a little try hard. But you can’t say the studio doesn’t try hard: think of GHM and you think of neon collages, sharp edges, and lots of gratuitous swearing. Its latest project, Shadows Of The Damned, is a collaboration with Shinji Mikami and Electronic Arts – and surprisingly GHM’s first attempt at HD visuals. We sat down with studio head Goichi Suda, aka Suda-51, to discuss the game, the partners, and find out what he means by 'Psychological Action Thriller.'
Learn about Grasshopper Manufacture’s inspirations, ad-lib development style, and more ahead of the Feb 11 launch.
Goichi Suda (Aka Suda 51) is a peerless developer, renowned for the making of some of the most unique games. Here are the best ones to date.
Peerless?
I’ve always heard his games have repetitive portions. I appreciate unique and creative games, but repetition dilutes even the greatest games (ie Arkham Asylum).
Shadows of the damned was pretty wild. That and lollipop chainsaw are the only ones ive played but I’d give it to SoTD.
Goichi Suda wants to collaborate with Marvel on a new Deadpool game.
This could be awesome. I loved Shadows of the Damned and the humor is right there. Sudas other titles are great as well.
