Please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed that Spaceballs is a parody of Star Wars., so yes the beam sword is a light saber.

 

[Glass Soldier]

Been following this guy for a few years, loved Killer7 and NMH.

Interview was great, glad to know he's an Anglophile.

Can anyone list all the games he has been involved in as I'd like to play them all?

You're welcome

 

[Akainu]

The industry needs more guys like him.

Sorry, I like good games. :X

That's the sarcasm

 

[Poyunch]

I think I can kind of see it. I love Suda. He's a role model when it comes to what he can do and such. I'd really like to talk to him to see how I could accomplish what he has. He's my favorite game developer out there so far.

 

[Gilgamesh]

The Mikami story and his Duran Duran fashion are the best parts. What a cool guy. :lol

Spoiler

Keira Knightley > Scarlett Johansson

 

[AceBandage]

Sorry, I like good games. :X

 

[Gospel]

This reminds me I still need to try No More Heroes 2. Suda, I'm sorry to let you down.

Just for that, I won't be buying Sin & Punishment 2 day 1. I'll even tell all my friends to wait "a really long time."

I love Suda 51. He just does whatever the fuck he wants. The fact that his games are kinda rough is part of what makes them work. Punk-rock baby.

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

The game he said his was favorite, Another World, is this game:

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Such an awesome and humble man. His fucking great!
Also Travis for Smash!

And what is this, europe doesnt get the bloody version?????

In Spain is Nintendo the one who brings it. Hope that means we at least have blood...

Spoiler

not a bloody chance

 

[Glass Soldier]

And what is this, europe doesnt get the bloody version?????

I thought he was talking about the first one?

 

[Dresden]

Sorry, I like good games. :X

Dude. What?

 

[To Far Away Times]

Gotta love Suda 51. I wish we had more people willing to take a chance and make games that are unique.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

The game he said his was favorite, Another World, is this game:

Is there anyway to get it cheap? I checked Amazon, but it was like $70 used and $100 new. I don't care how good it is. For a 20 year old game, $70 is way too much.

It's one of the games that has inspired many of the greatest game directors including Fumito Ueda.

Sorry, I like games focus tested to hell and back. :X

I'm sure you do.

 

[Femmeworth]

Really fascinating info, Suda 51 is such a cool guy.

The hotel in No More Heroes is also a movie reference. "It's modelled after the room Guy Pearce stays in during Momento."

:O

 

[GhaleonQ]

All I'm saying is that if this was a Western guy nerding out over the Japanese equivalent to these things, NeoGAF would make fun of him.

That said, I find his affection for "mainstream American and British things I've discovered since I became a teenager" adorable and like his video games quite a bit. I think he's on the low end of video game auteurs, but it's a pretty short list and everyone on it's competent. I love his attitude, too. MAKE MORE GAMES, Suda! And great list, list maker.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Uh, oh, seems I read it bad. I hope this is true.
Thanks!

 

[Azure J]

He definitely has the right mind for making games and he has a friendly personality judging from a lot of comments there. I hope he can make the big time in the future.

 

[IrishNinja]

awesome interview, and yeah, guy does come off as doing what he wants & sincere for it.

I still remember (the announcement of) that game. Guess it's not being developed anymore then, such a shame.

wait, really? i didnt catch that. fuck, was really hoping he'd still had plans on it. did he ever say which Kafka work he'd intended?

ps shit why did i think his twitter'd be in english :lol

 

[GDJustin]

Not personally a huge fan of his games, but I'm still glad people like him exist and are able to fight for (and hold onto) their own personal vision and see their creative process through. He strikes me as a cool dude.

Thanks man.

 

[Kevtones]

Awesome dude is awesome <3

 

[Salsa]

He`s the Tarantino of games. And im not really saying that just because of the violence. Both of them use a lot of their huge pop-culture knowledge in making their art, among other things.

 

[Calion]

Wow, that's just awesome.

 

[kuYuri]

A great read. I love this guy. Hugs!

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Great little read. I love Suda.

 

[TheSeks]

The Beam Katana used by hero Travis Touchdown isn't inspired by Star Wars. "It's actually inspired by Spaceballs!"

And Spaceballs was "inspired" by Star Wars.

Ergo, The Beam Katana was inspired by Star Wars.

Just even the fact he referenced Spaceballs is awesome. It makes total sense he likes the movie given the twists and jokes in No More Heroes, though.

Wow you are the sharp tool in the shed arent ya!

 

[Lard]

No Killer 7 sequel.

 

[firehawk12]

I must admit, I sort of like how Japanese designers just admit that they're perverts. Bigger breasts and porn. It's a nice antidote to the homoerotic bromances Western developers seem to be obsessed with nowadays anyway (although, watching Cliffy talk about how there are girls in Gears 3 as if it was THE BIGGEST NEWS IN THE WORLD was kind of hilarious).

 

[Kiriku]

wait, really? i didnt catch that. fuck, was really hoping he'd still had plans on it. did he ever say which Kafka work he'd intended?

I don't think he ever went into specifics about that, but here's some info about the game:

[rockman zx]

Nice guy with interesting ideas but his games never clicked with me. Killer 7 was a good game but NMH was average, I hope NMH2 is better.

 

[Glass Soldier]

I don't think that's entirely true. People have played Suda's games and have seen that the influence our culture had on him isn't only superficial whereas Western games that were inspired by the Japanese mostly result in some american anime or furry shit.

Just have to point to Tarantino and Kill Bill (vol 1).
