Suda 51 talks about his EA relationship and new games photo

In an interview with DasGamer, Grasshopper Manufacture's Suda Goichi talked about his upcoming projects: No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle and his top-secret project where he'll be working alongside Shinji Mikami for EA. And speaking of EA, he says that we shouldn't worry about that partnership.

When asked about the U.S. release date of No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, Goichi said that while it has not been announced for the States yet, that is his main target -- the U.S. and Europe. So no worries there. In it, he says that Travis' new adventures will revolve around a theme of revenge, and that it will be much harder than its predecessor.

On his secret project with Mikami and EA, he only teased that the game would be "very crazy." DasGamer asked him about the EA relationship, pointing out that some consider the publisher to be "soulless."

Here in Japan, and for me personally, I didn’t really have this image of EA being soulless company. For me they were just another company, a publisher that publishes games. You don’t make games between companies, you make games between people. You shouldn’t worry about this project between Grasshopper and EA. I have a really good relationship with an executive producer at EA, and he really understands what we’re doing, and between that and Mikami-san who is also producing the game.

Read the rest of this interview, including the end, where Goichi talks about his best new ideas, which were created on the toilet.

I still need to play no more hero's, I'm scared off by the open world parts and mowing lawns to get to the good stuff.

Suda 51 needs to just keep doing what he's doing and don't let anyone tell him not to. Not even EA.

You know- EA may be a soul-less giant, but now that they've somewhat slowed down on gobbling up companies, I've come to like them...

Heck, they back most of my favorite games... so they're becoming the lovable giant for me. :D

I can't imagine how you could make NMH better (except for the city gameplay) so NMH2 should rock everyone's face off.

It's going to be another game that's "intentionally" awful.

As a PC gamer, EA are fucking monsters with their DRM bullshit. And I also disagree with the "soulless" part. A company that devours that many innocent companies and slaves them to the grind wheel to produce yearly sequels much have quite a collection by now.

EA is evil. Never forget Bullfrog and Origin.
