Interview : Talking about Tamarin, a Unique Nature, Rare, and Nintendo inspired 3D platformer coming to PS4
http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2019/08/interview_talking_about_tamarin_a_unique_nature_rare_and_nintendo_inspired_3d_platformer_coming_to_ps4

Q : Push Square: To start with, can you give us a brief overview of what Tamarin's all about?
Q : Tamarin's blend of 3D platforming and free-aim shooting isn't a gameplay mix that we see all too often these days. Why did you opt for shooting rather than more traditional action-based combat?
Q : When you first started creating concepts for Tamarin, what were your main inspirations?
Q : Why did you go for incredibly cute monkeys versus evil insects?
Q : Tamarin's environments have been described as Nordic. Why did you choose Nordic landscapes as the backdrop for Tamarin?
Q : Can you tell us a little more about the gameplay structure in Tamarin? Are there collectables? Can you upgrade your abilities? Are the environments quite open, or are they more linear?
Q : With well known and much loved video game composer David Wise behind Tamarin's music, what do you want to accomplish with the game's soundtrack?
Q : To finish things off, how would you describe Tamarin in just one word?

Ahead of launch, Shenmue III creator Yu Suzuki talks the game's combat, its soundtrack, fan support... and forklifts
https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2019/11/01/i-feel-confident-that-weve-made-an-even-better-shenmue-game/

Q : Can you tell us about how you got your start in games, and how that led to the development of the original Shenmue?

Q : Is Shenmue III planned as the final game in the series, or have you explored the idea of continuing Ryo's story in the future?

Q : Revisiting PlayStation's 2015 E3 press conference announcement, it's still emotional watching videos of fans' reactions to the announcement of Shenmue III. Looking back four years later, what kind of effect did that outpouring of fan support have on you, or on the development of the game?

Q : You've been directly involved in some of the most influential games of all time over the past 35 years, including OutRun, Virtua Fighter, Daytona USA, and, of course, Shenmue — among many, many others. Looking back, what are some of the projects you've worked on that you're proudest of?

Q : Are there any secrets you hid in any of your past games that remain undiscovered?

Q : Having been such a prominent figure in the gaming industry since its inception, are there any trends or technology you've seen develop that you're particularly curious about or interested in?

Q : What is the emotion you hope players feel immediately after finishing Shenmue III? Do you think most players will have a similar reaction to it?

Q : The original Shenmue was seen as an advancement both in terms of technology and storytelling. Did you approach that game's development from the technological or narrative side first? What about with Shenmue III?

Q : What's something you think Shenmue has contributed to the overall DNA of the gaming industry, be it a specific mechanic, a way of telling a story, including arcade-faithful ports of retro classics, or something else entirely?

Q : How has the combat system of Shenmue III evolved since you first began the project?

Q : Has your perspective on forklifts changed at all in the past 20 years?

Q : Can you tell us about the development of the soundtrack for Shenmue III? Did you follow a similar process to that which you did for previous games in the series?

Q : What's an example of a small detail in Shenmue III that you think will enhance players' experience with the game?

How sound designer Takafumi Fujisawa created the original PlayStation's iconic startup sound
https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2019/12/05/how-sound-designer-takafumi-fujisawa-created-the-original-playstations-iconic-startup-sound/

Q: How were you first approached to design the PlayStation's startup sound?
Q: What were the parameters that you were given? Were you limited to a specific amount of time?
Q: Did anyone from Sony give you ideas for what they wanted? Like, did Ken Kutaragi come over to you and hum a few bars?
Q: The opening tones remind me of Strauss' "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." Am I just imagining things, or was that an inspiration?
Q: The startup sound almost seems as though it shifts through several phases that tells a story. You have the opening tones, then it has the bells, then the swooshing sound, then an almost ethereal finale. Were you trying to tell a musical story? If so, what was that story, in your mind?
Q: Did the sound come to you fairly quickly, or was it something that took a significant number of iterations?
Q: Did you also work on the startup sound for PlayStation 2 or 3? If you did, do you happen to have any stories about them that you can share?

Death Stranding - The Story of Kojima Productions

Death Stranding - A Hideo Kojima Game Long in the Making
*It's been a long time coming. For several years, Death Stranding was the game I had most looked forward towards. In the current AAA gaming landscape - dominated by the usual gameplay ideas and familiar settings - Death Stranding sparked a feeling of curiosity I had rarely felt before. The big question obviously being: Could it possibly live up to expectations and deliver something truly unique?
*This video is split up into two parts. Part 1 is a spoiler-free discussion, mainly centered around gameplay and exploring some of the biggest topics of conversation, like whether the game is actually fun to play or not and if it has managed to create a new genre through its social strand system. Part 2 is a spoiler-filled story analysis, in which I talk about and explain some of the overarching themes and general thoughts about the plot from beginning to end. You will be warned midway through the video itself, so people who haven't beaten the game can choose to hold off watching it for now. I really hope you'll enjoy hearing my thoughts.
