Comments on: Director Of MadWorld Interested In Making A Sequel http://www.gamesthirst.com/2010/01/12/director-of-madworld-interested-in-making-a-sequel/ News Gamers Thirst For Sat, 02 Jul 2011 00:54:36 +0000 hourly 1 By: coffeewithgames http://www.gamesthirst.com/2010/01/12/director-of-madworld-interested-in-making-a-sequel/comment-page-1/#comment-1284 coffeewithgames Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:47:56 +0000 http://www.gamesthirst.com/?p=1437#comment-1284 @Colton West: In reply and a correction. It wasn't the Sega guy in France, it was Constantine Hantzopoulos, studio director at SEGA. I think he is in America. He showed ignorance IMO, when he said, "Look at Dead Space. We were stunned. That was my litmus test. Basically, it’s like, okay, you got EA, who can put all the marketing muscle behind this, an established franchise that scored quite well on 360 and PS3. They should be able to actually hit this out of the park, right? We get numbers, real numbers aside from NPD, and I’m like, ‘Woah.’” How much marketing muscle did EA put into Dead Space: Extraction on the Wii? Seriously. He also said it was an established franchise, and while true, it wasn't established via onrails. Initial response when EA announced this game was, "NOT another onrails shooter! We don't want this!" From the sites I visit, that was the response of probably 9 out of 10 people when they heard about the game. If Dead Space: Extraction was this guy's "litmus test" for all Mature Wii games, so be it. Again, I think it shows his ignorance. If Sega isn't publishing more Mature games on Wii, that's fine by me, because they haven't done any mature games on Wii, that were rated above 90% overall anyway. I would rather a company put time and effort into a AAA Wii game, than give Wii owners more rail shooters and games that are just six hours long. @Colton West:

Still, I'd like for platinum games to make better ports to the PS3 (bayonetta anyone?)

WRONG! It was ONE guy that works for Sega in France I do believe.
