[Update:I failed to catch the few seconds ofKaiho Shojogameplay in this video. My mistake! Sorry internet!]
While it’s a shame that this interview-focused trailer hasn’t been translated into English yet, it’s still great to get an up-close look at both the games ofGuild 01and the developers who are making them. This is the first time that I know of an “all star game jam” to come to the major consoles, and the concept alone has me excited. SeeingSuda51(No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw) Yoshiyuki Hirai (comedy groupAmerica Zarigani), Yasumi Matsuno (Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy XII) and Yoot Saito (Seaman) all gushing about their projects gives me goosebumps, even if those goosebumps are in un-subtitled Japanese. It’s also exciting thatGuild 01is planned to be the first in a series. I’m hoping they getSwery 65(Deadly Premonition),Takeyasu Sawaki(Okami,El Shaddai),Keiji Inafune(Mega Man,Dead Rising) andDaisuke “Pixel” Amaya(Cave Story,Ika-Chan) for the next go-round.
So which of these games do you think looks the best so far? For me, it’s a tie between Suda’sKaiho Shojoand Matsuno’sCrimson Shroud. Then again, those are the two games that are yet to show off any gameplay, so its sort of a moot point. I’m just psyched to see those Dungeons and Dragons dice rolling, and that bird foot getting shanked.
