E3: Ubisoft working with Mizuguchi News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Robert Purchese

2 June, 2009

Ubisoft announced a collaboration with Rez and Lumines creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi during its E3 publisher press conference last night.

The pair will create a game codenamed Eden, which Ubisoft US boss Laurent Detoc said will provide "new sensory experiences", according to 1UP.

And that was that; apparently Mizuguchi attended the conference but was only pointed out by Ubisoft, staying obediently seated throughout.

Those comments by Ubisoft suggest a follow-up to Rez, with its vibrating, sensory pads - but then Mizuguchi does tend towards unique ideas with all his games.

We're not even sure what platforms Eden will be on. More information soon, we hope.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to note that "Project Eden" was one of several codenames that was given to Rez while it was under development.

That does mean that there is a high probability this being a sequel of some kind to Rez.

Dunno.. something tells me that wouldn't be strange enough for him to be satisfied. Doesn't really seem a sequel kinda guy. Still, whatever it is, chances are it'll be fun to play whilst really fucking stoned.

Wasn't Project Eden an old Eidos game?

Eden was the codename given to Lionhead's B.C wasn't it?

Cool. I want Rez 2. I also want it in HD. Trippiness and HD go well together.

This will be on Wii. Ubisoft seemed to be focusing their attention on the Wii during their press conference.

The Wii control system would be fantastic for another Rez game.

On the other hand, Rez's vector graphics really benefited from being in HD...

I think the sweet spot would be Rez on HD platforms but with mouse support. The original on Dreamcast had mouse support, after all.
