The two men are among my favorite game designers, so I can't wait to see how this project turns out. I do wish it were a PS3 or Wii exclusive, though.

A new Mikami project, at last! If Killer 7 is any indication, Mikami and Suda should make an excellent team. I'm happy to see him persuing the horror genre once again. I have a feeling much of this was spawned during Suda's work with the latest Fatal Frame.

But published by E.A.? Is that any indication of the type of game it will be, or the userbase it'll reach out to? I hope not. Proboably the money factor, though I find it odd (and sad) that a Japanese publisher wouldn't jump at the oppurtunity.

That aside. I'm sure this title, like all of the rest, will be a gem. Blinded day one for me. :)

Wow, nice to see some major announcements after a rather quiet period for news and updates. Wonder what it will turn out like.

Finally, that long talked about horror game by Mikami and Suda51 is finally going to be shown at TGS. It was rumored to be an "action horror" game. It will be published by EA. Here is the story:

Mikami is on fire. Soon we get Vanquish and then we get to look forward to Mikami and Suda's second love child.
