Q Entertainment, developer of one of PSP's greatest launch titles, Lumines, says it's "always thinking" about new technology such as Sony's NGP.
Speaking to CVG at last week's Microsoft showcase, where it was showing off Kinect Rez-alike Child of Eden, Q producer James Mielke said the studio's always looking at new technology, as it proved by jumping straight on to PSP with Lumines (and now Kinect).
Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the man behind Rez, Lumines, and Child of Eden, isn't currently developing games at Q Entertainment. Company director Nobuhiko Shimizu told Eurogamer that Mizuguchi is taking on a "spokesperson" role, having become more involved with "academic work."
Q? Entertainment is gauging fan interest in Lumines: Electronic Symphony DLC.
Former Q Entertainment producer James Mielke revealed that Lumines: Electronic Symphony suffered development issues and part of the reason was because the game’s former director “was not a good fit for the project” and was ultimately kicked out.
lumines 1 and 2 was realy good this one hive play like 1 hour and i delete the game rigth away
the game can be completely controlled by the touchscreen, but it's so clunky, slow, and inaccurate that i can't imagine anybody uses it. also you can tap the back screen to the beat of the music to charge your "special move."
I hope they do work on a title for NGP, as I loved Lumines. Be nice to see what they could offer for the new platform.
