Highlight’s from Sakamoto’s GDC lecture
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 5 Comments
Yoshio Sakamoto just finished hosting his lecture at the 2010 Game Developer’s Conference. You can check out some highlights of what was said below…
– “I consider myself the one who raised Samus. After all, the one who gave birth to Metroid is the Queen Metroid, right?”
– Friend Collection has almost sold 3 million copies in Japan
– Players will be able to download a micro-game in WarioWare D.I.Y. created by Sakamoto
– Storyline in Metroid: Other M starts right after Super Metroid ended
– Sakamoto inspired/moved by the films from Luc Besson (Leon); John Woo (A Better Tomorrow), Brian De Palma (Carrie)
– “I have great admiration for these directors, but it’s not like I have a complex about it or try to become one.”
– “To be honest, I am not a movie fanatic. However films have opened my eyes to techniques that can bring a story to life.”
– “The techniques for designing comedic games is very similar to the techniques used to create serious/scary games.”
– Mii Channel an idea resulting from Tomodachi Collection
– “I tell the story of Samus as a young girl and reveal her relationship with Adam, but that’s just a portion of Other M.”
– “(Other M is) the synthesis of all the knowhow I’ve acquired and the culmination of all the things I’ve been envisioning…”
– Sakamoto was against having the nunchuck included as part of Other M’s controls, even though Team Ninja suggested it
– Devs wanted Samus to work on a rail, but were able to make the Wiimote work without the nunchuk to create a 3D experience with a snappy 2D feel
– Nintendo, with D-Rockets and Taiyo Kimkaku created storyboards by Ryuzi Kitaura, groups focused on CG and soundtrack production
– Kuniaki Haishima working on the music for Other M
– Jessica Martin voice acting Samus in Other M, worked with many other studios, code name was Project M
– “Games can touch people and move them.”
– “I believe that it’s our job to take those moments that our spirits have been moved and represent them with understandable forms.”
