That's a very interesting idea. Mr. Ueda behind a FPS... I'm not gonna cringe at the thought of someone who is great at one thing trying something new and possibly doing it horribly or mediocre, for I know anything he makes is gold. At least until he makes crap. :(
I never played Half-Life to be honest. I know. I had minimal interest in it, but now after reading this I feel that maybe I owe it to myself and perhaps something even bigger than myself to go and play it.

"Usually, when it comes to the cut-scenes, you can't really play -- [that] operation isn't really allowed," he said. "That kind of game is something that I don't want to see. If you're constrained already even before cut-scene, then you're in cut-scene, then that's fine. But you're in the middle of play, in the middle of the game, then all of a sudden you're in a cut-scene [and] you're not supposed to operate at all -- that's not the kind of game I want to do. If there is some other techniques that will not give them that kind of feeling, that's something I want to implement."

seems like most genres could use a new perspective once in while, why not a new perspective from a decidedly talented eye
Was just a logical assumption given that he referred to Half-Life in the genre and a basis of inspiration. Though if you wanna nitpick all day you could have read, "...why not make an FPS himself? Why not indeed. When asked this very question Ueda said..."
Would be interesting to play such an FPG, with a japanese edge to it. Go for it, Ueda. Him working with Valve would be awesome, and be a great example of east-west co op development.
Damn Dwolf, you haven't played Half Life/HL2? Good god, you should fix that pronto. If this news post gets you to do that, then that's a good thing. Orange BOx is what you need.

""I have an interest in making first-person games."
There."
That's first person GAME, not shooter bud. Oblivion Isn't an FPS. Neither is Mirror's Edge, Condemned, or The First Person Mode in the Fight Night Series.

I think the Japanese Half-Life 2 modification S-MOD is strong evidence that the Japanese can make FPS games. I really hope this happens.
Every time shadow of the colossus is mentioned i want to cry for never having had a PS2. I NEED to play that game. He like hinted that he wasn't opposed to the idea of making pretty PS3 versions of those games and my brain almost exploded... one can only hope, though.
@dwolfwood
Yes, you definately owe it to yourself to play it. HL2 and the following episodes, (most notably episode 2) is the most seemless integration of story and gameplay around. The character development throughout those titles is untouchable. (If you don't <3 alyx vance and her father by the end of those you are a troubled individual.) And episode 2 has some of the best action sequences i've ever played in a shooter... hushing now. Play it.
Though my assessment of it's storytelling prowess is without having played shadow of colossus, so i can't make any comparisons. (It'd be kindof apples and oranges anyway, but still.)
I'm tempted to just buy an old PS2 for this game alone. Argh.

I just hope that one day I'll get to kill a Colossus by rocket jumping onto it's back and using a chainsaw on it's weak point.
As tired as I am of the stale conventions of the FPS genre, I'd be willing to trust his vision based solely on his past track record. He's one of the few leads that I would have no trouble accepting at face value.
What about the big japanese Battles in WW2 with the awesome Ueda story-telling, awesome graphics an tight, visceral shooter-gameplay...too sad it will be only on PS3...
A collaboration between two gaming giants (Ueda & Valve) would be amazing, but you guys are forgetting just one thing:
Valve hates PS3 development and Ueda only develops for PS3 :(
I would love to see this too, but one of them needs to give in order for it to happen. I (Unfortunately) haven't played SoTC or Ico, but have heard great things. I'll try and fix that soon. I have played HL2 and it's Episodes, and an influence like Ueda's could definitely make for an amazing gaming experience. Let's hope that this actually happens (You never know, after all).
