“For Twilight Princess we used the adult Link and one of the interesting things about that was how we considered the precise proportions of Link and the world. The scale is because we aimed for a more realistic quality in the size of the environments of Hyrule and what that Link faced. But the question is whether or not we were able to incorporate any and all of the interesting game ideas that were able to take advantage of that kind of sheer grand scale within the Zelda universe. I am afraid that definitely no, we were not able to do all the things that perhaps with hindsight we had the capabilities to do. With that as the starting point, we are now developing the Wii version of Legend Of Zelda. In the case of Spirit Tracks it was relatively easier, because regardless of the actual proportions between the player character and the other objects, we can simply concentrate upon the many game ideas we want to realise. But in the case of trying to depict a relatively photorealistic three-dimensional world, we have to be very careful to adapt the ideas so that they seem to perfectly fit with that world. I must admit that’s actually one of my very greatest regrets as regards the Twilight Princess.” – Eiji Aonuma

I enjoyed Twilight Princess a great deal, but one thing in particular always bothered me. While traveling through Hyrule, while the land itself was massive, it didn’t seem like there was a whole lot to do. I would say that a lot of areas lacked “liveliness.” Hopefully the developers will be addressing that in some way for the next Zelda title.

All of this information comes from Steve Papoutsis, who is the producer of Dead Space Extraction…

“The Dead Space Fiction is massive, I mean super duper deep. There are tons of areas to explore in the time frame before Extraction. We hint at some of the stuff in the past in Extraction *SPOILER* specifically the mysterious resource wars. So there is a lot to pull from. Not to mention the discovery of the original Black Marker.” – Steve Papoutsis, Dead Space Extraction producer

“Visceral Games and EA are both very proud of Extraction. We set out to create a high quality Wii game and we feel we nailed just that. Everyone that has seen or played Extraction at the company has high praise for the quality of the game. The team are very proud of what we were able to accomplish with Extraction.”

“I think it is very possible to port the original game. The biggest thing would be making the right compromises and having enough time to do justice to the original. Just to remind everyone another certain Survival Horror game that was ported to the Wii took almost 6 years of development before showing up on that system. So it’s not as easy as flipping a switch to make those types of things happen. Even when you are starting out with a game that runs on very similar hardware to begin with.”

Something tells me that we won’t see another Dead Space game on Wii. Well, not for awhile at least. The game has gotten off to a very slow start in the U.S. in terms of sales, but I’m hoping it’ll continue to sell over time. But for now, I don’t see EA taking another gamble with a Dead Space game on Wii.

Reviews of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers have been fairly mixed up to this point, but that shouldn’t stop you from purchasing the game if you’re truly interested. The ship date is set for the 26th in North America, but if you want to get a copy early, head over to your local GameStop. One reader has informed us that he was able to buy the title even though it was stocked behind the counter. Right now, this seems to apply only to GameStop only. But yes – You can pick up the game a few days early if you want!

Thanks to Ryan B for the news tip!
