Producer Cameron Suey interviewed on Force Unleashed and future Star Wars games

Silver Mirror | 10 days 7 hours ago | News | Playstation 2 Playstation 3 
Could Force Unleashed be one of the best Star Wars games ever made? Cameron Suey Producer of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions certainly gives that impression in this interview. He also talks about the future of the Star Wars franchise in the game industry and says "You might see less and better" meaning there might be less Star Wars games in future, but they'll be of better quality.
VideoGamer.com: Would you say Force Unleashed is the best Star Wars game ever?

Cameron Suey: I'm a humble guy so I try not to use a lot of hyperbole, but it's certainly the greatest Star Wars story that we've ever told in a video game. I absolutely love the gameplay. This is the first game I've worked on, in about four years in the industry, in which I still love the game even a year-and-a-half after I've been playing it a little bit every day. Working so closely to it, usually you get sick and fed up of a game, you never want to see it again once it's done, but I still have fun every time I pick up the controller. Early on that was one of our primary goals and we achieved that. So it's certainly the most fun game that I've ever played and it's certainly the greatest story of a Star Wars game.

VideoGamer.com: But you won't go as far as to say it's the best Star Wars game ever made?

CS: You know what, I'll say it, it's for me, and greatest applies to value judgement and opinion, definitely the greatest Star Wars game. I'm of course biased!

VideoGamer.com: That's great because, being frank, some Star Wars games aren't as good as others...

CS: That is true. Star Wars is one of the greatest licenses for a videogame you could have and in the past we got a little excited about that and we put out games that probably weren't up to the quality bar that we would have liked. That's definitely something we've recognised and we understand. The more Star Wars games you put out and the more you love that environment the more it becomes mediocre and anodyne. We're really focused on telling singular, excellent Star Wars stories with engaging and innovative gameplay and cutting edge technology. That's going to be the future of Star Wars games.

VideoGamer.com: So we'll see perhaps less Star Wars games in the future?

CS: You might see less and better. Make it right and do it right.

    Well his optimism on the greatness of Force Unleashed is nice. At least he isn't showing any doubt in it like the guy with MGS4.

    Also, the news of less but better quality Star Wars games in future is good news. Hopefully this means they are finally moving away from just mass prodicing fanboy material and they actually plan on catering for those of us with more developed tastes.

    I'm looking forward to this game, that's for sure. My only concern is they are doing it across nearly ALL platforms....even the DS, and I hope that for the PS3/360 they utilize their as much as their full potential as possible.

      Seems like I picked a good time to get my first SW game...as long as it is good with a good story I am satisfied.
