EA's Rex Ishibashi talks about missing Suda 51, Shinji Mikami project

by Andrew Yoon { Sep 23rd 2009 at 6:10AM }

Remember when EA announced a new project with No More Heroes' Suda 51 and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami over a year ago? We were surprised to find that it was completely absent from EA's extravagent pre-TGS Tokyo press conference. We talked with EA Japan's Rex Ishibashi about the game's mysterious absence from the show.

"We'll make the updates when they're appropriate and when we're ready. In fact, EA Japan is now involved in some of the communication, helping EA Global to manage that very important relationship for us," EA Japan's Ishibashi told Joystiq. "We'll make the announcements on those games, but they look very promising."

Stay tuned for our full interview later this week.

Every other minute with Suda 51. Didn't you play No More Heroes?

That bastard Suda has his fingers in too many pies. Where the hell is Project S?

Kira @ Sep 23rd 2009 9:03AM

And I'm psyched about every pie.

Sorry, Kojima. But personally I think Suda51 is the most interesting and talented developer in Japan these days.

I want to see more of this project.

Josh @ Sep 23rd 2009 5:10PM

Suda 51 is a god. I'd like another game in the Silver Case/FSR universe, please!
