Great work.
You truely are the best at finding the lastest news.
-
Short but sweet interview there, too bad theres no mentions of TP or LBA.
He seems quite interested in the GBA, maybe he's thinking of doing an oringinal title for it
Or maybe that was just me missinterpreting the translation.

[kaderoboy]

Great job Axx Could somebody please post a proper translation of the interview, google translator's blocked here and my French isn't the best

[Vultures]

That's the beginning.I'll do the rest later because I'm going to eat.



Gamekult : What is the true raison of your presence on this show?

Frederick Raynal :I come all simply to effect my last weapons at sega's

service,since my contract is finished in exactly 13 days.The raisons are then

purely professional and I'm fulfiled of this job without bitterness and with a

certain pleasure, since this show is taking place in a general good mood.

GK : To go directly in the sharp of the subject, what is the future of the

Agartha plan and what are the possibilities which are offered at the day of

today?

F.R : To be clear,the Agartha plan is definitly deserting.We were agree with

Sega to lead our game and the recent advertising of the abandonment of the

production of the dreamcast involved a breach of contract, let us no other

choice that stop the Agartha's development.As we wanted neither of a

potential reprenor, nor of a possible change of support,we prefered stopping

our work.

[Vultures]

GK : The end of the contract with Sega is it truely the only raison of the retirement of Agartha?We heard speaking of censure problem, is it real?

F.R : it's true that we met some big censuring problems.One clearly made us understand that there were limits to respect in the world of the video game and that it didn't have to be exceeded under penalty of undergoing
the lightnings of the censure.Our concept and our starting idea being to justly exceed the limits of politically
correct to completely immerse the player in a universe dark and
worrying : It was impossible for us to yeld at these claims.It would have been also and probably possible to find a reprenor if we had have access to request for limitation in term of violence and environment, but that either wasn't in our intentions.My disappointment is thus at the level the highest to the fact that I realized that it wasn't possible to go beyond the tacit agreements imposed by the industry of the video game.Same is this new art where we still believe all possible, it really exist a censure implicit which
curb the imagination of the game developers and designers.I think that is that which has affected me more., but nothing will block me to continue in this way wwhere only the interest of the player is counting and this before the marketing aspect.

[Atresica]

[Vultures]

He speak of LBA NOWHERE!!!!!
I think the interwiew weren't on this subject.It's a pity...

[Axx]

And what the hell do you want him to say aout LBA!?!

[Darkflame]

"I will do everything in my power to make sure the game gets a decent GBA conversion, and a sequal edventualy. I would also like to help promote an excelent Film based on the first game being devolped which I would like people to donate money too"

Would be nice

[CrOvAx]

Yeah, and then: "Also I would like to thank all the people of the Magic Ball Network for there great support and nice ideas. All of you will be mentioned in the credits of all my upcoming LBA-games."

[Atresica]

-sigh-

but it would be cool

[Lightwing]

*continuing the joke*

What I want to know, is would he really wish to include over 300 extra names in his credits.

[wacko]

Good job, Axx0rz.

Hmm... don't we all dream of our name in the LBA3 credits? *sniff*

[Simon]

Argh... I hate to see screenshots of Agartha ... damn interview.. why did they insert a link to a agartha screen shot page ...

[Axx]

i wish the game is completed

[elmuerte]

I hate to see them because I know I will never be able to play that awesome looking game ...

[Darkflame]

Indeed
Theres a few games like that I feel about.

[Axx]

so it looks like its not only me that so badly wants to see agartha made
atresica feels the same way too

[Rabbibunny052]

And then he would say: "I will kindly donate copies of all the games to the people of Magic Ball Network. And within all my power complete the never ending saga of Little Big Adventure and include a love scene between twinsen and zoe."
Well......edit the last part.

[StarmanDX]

Purhapes you could have a normal version and a "directors cut" edition
--
StarmanDX - the names great, but I think the volume idea sucks.
I think if your doing a "Encyclopaedia Twinsunica" you should pretend LBA was a real world. (*cough*Pretend?bah*cough*)
