My post in this thread was used by MS in there press briefing. I will not allow this to happen again. We need to be able to set our messages to this blog as private.

Great interview Tsubasa and Jeff.

Like most people, I’m excited about this game, but also like most people, I want to see it on Blu-Ray disc. I will mostly import the Japanese version as from what I understand it contains the English version as well.

I am looking forward to playing the full version of this game, but on Blu-Ray, not as a downloadable.

Thanks very much both Tsubasa, and Jeff.

The interview was great, and didn’t know the work for ICO was spread otu so wide, that’s fantastic.

I will be buying Siren, but I only want it on a disc :S, so I will either import sicne the Japanese version has English support, or waiting for it to be released.

Jeff, Please can we somehow get Ueda to come in and talk? If he’s ever over in the states, or if he can speak just textually. Would love to ahve soem hitns as to what he’s doing.

I’m having problems watching the video. I can never watch videos on this blog. In some of your previous videos, there was a little link or something on the bottom right of the video screen, and clicking on that would take me to another site and I could watch the video. But now, it just sends me back to the blog, and I cannot watch the video. Can anyone help me?

@Tsubasa,

Great interview, I want to give you some feedback on Siren: Blood curse.

I played the demo, I can tell it’s going to be one of the creepiest games out there with the scary dark atmosphere you guys create.

However I feel the controls need to be “upgraded” the controls remain very similar to Siren 1 and 2.

The right analog stick should be able to pan the camera 360 degrees.

I understand the right analog stick was set to “limited” camera pan to what I suspect to increase the scariness of the game, but it is causing many western gamers frustration.

The right analog stick camera has a bounce back mechanism which causes some motion sickness after long play time.

I am not sure if your focus testing has revealed this or not but it prevents one from playing the game very long.

Loved the (short) demo. I haven’t decided yet which version to buy (download or disk). But I do have a question for Tsubasa: with a handful horror games coming to PS3 this year (like Dead Space and Silent Hill), why should I buy Siren?

For the one asking about a sequel to ICO:

Shadow of the Colossus is said to be a prequel to ICO.

The interviews are great! It would be better if there were 10 questions instead of 5, hehe.

Ask him why the camera in Siren is so bad. It is twitchy, unintuitive and you can only see 45 degrees either side of the player. Ask him if they bothered to test it on gamers, particularly western gamers before they made the demo because it doesn’t seem they did and have stuck to an outdated model. If you think it is only me, some others commented on the camera on the PS forums, as did IGN. At least mention it anyway.
