Tantalisingly, Matsuura did hint at a possible PSN version of the cult classic Vib Ribbon to celebrate its tenth birthday, telling the Develop crowd: "we still have many requests to remake the game. Jenova Chen, Creative Director at thatgamecompany responded: "That's why we need to work with international messages in games, and international themes like love and freedom and nature and flight." "Developers in the East and West should not be too…It should be international, and we need to work with more international artists," argued Matsuura. This concern with breaking down borders in the games industry was echo-ed in another session earlier in the day, entitled: "Designer mash-up: Masaya Matsuura and Jenova Chen play PaRappa the Rapper and Flower" the two designers talked a little more about their desire to break down the gaming culture barriers between West and East.

Which is also good news for the planet!Īs for the future of music-games, Matsuura hopes that we will see more games that use 'ethnic' and other music genres (name-dropping Peter Gabriel, here) suggesting that the current hegemony of western rock music in the games industry needs to be broken down a little. Instead of designing yet more gaming peripherals, he foresees more convergence and "product sustainability" for both the manufacturers and the users. Indeed, the music-gaming maestro foresees a music-gaming "peripherals scrapheap mountain" in five years time, following the recent rush amongst games publishers to cash-in on the genre that Matsuura almost single-handedly invented. However, he doesn't have any current plans or ideas for motion-controlled music-games using Natal (unless he is playing his cards very close to his chest), telling us that "he doesn't want to be a launch creator " but would rather bide his time to see how the technology is taken up to begin with.

The legendary game designer also expressed a desire to work with Microsoft's Project Natal, Sony's motion-controlled PS3 Wand and Nintendo's heart-rate monitor peripheral – the three new pieces of hardware announced by the console manufacturers at this year's E3. "I would like to work with Google Android," Matsuura told TechRadar, "but I am waiting to see if it becomes popular." Though he refused to comment any further on plans for mobile music projects beyond the current (and awesome) 'ens ens' project with Yamaha. We hope that it will see an international release, should it be successful when it finally releases.

Head below for the full first 14.Most excitingly, for TechRadar, was the opportunity to get a short glimpse at NanaOn-Sha's latest project for mobile phones called 'ens-ens' – a music generating game that looked very much like it has the ability of turning a mobile phone into a fully-fledged musical instrument.įrustratingly though, this is a Japan-only project for now, sponsored by Yamaha. The MoMA blog calls this initial selection just the "seedbed" for a chunkier collection of around 40 titles, all of which will be part of a "new category of artworks" at the iconic museum. The games range from Buckner & Garcia inspiration Pac-Man to modern classic Portal, and even includes some lesser known gems ( vib-ribbon, anyone?). Given the subject matter, this is usually where the author waxes philosophical about whether - having been accepted by a major international museum - games are indeed "art." We're gonna skip that needless exercise today and simply tell you that the New York City Museum of Modern Art is officiating its intake of 14 video game classics as the start of an ongoing gaming collection, set to go on display in March 2013 in the MoMA's Philip Johnson Architecture and Design Galleries - the same galleries that house an original iPod and more.
