Main Feature: Invigorating Action Game - BINARY DOMAIN
The same Sega production team led by General Director Toshihiro Nagoshi that brought us the YAKUZA videogame will soon release a new game called BINARY DOMAIN (for PlayStation3·Xbox360). They had been producing a Yakuza title a year until now but the last 12 months have been dedicated to BINARY DOMAIN, a dramatic Sci-Fi action battle between men and robots set in the Tokyo of 2080 where life itself is the theme. Both friends and foes use top grade AI (artificial intelligence) and the story development and sheer realism of the street sets are astonishing. For Nagoshi's Ryu-ga Gotoku Studio, it is all a big leap into a whole new kind of story. Gone, for example, is the use of real corporate names. In an exclusive interview, we ask Nagoshi for the inside information on everything from why they themed this game on life to what is coming next in the Nagoshi world. BINARY DOMAIN goes on sale in Europe on February 24th and in the United States on February 28th. Our reporters, though, have had a go already! Don't miss it!
Creator's interview: Hideji Oda, Japanese Manga Artist
Hideji Oda, known for his soft touch with intricate, realistic and yet warm pictures, made his commercial debut in 1992 with A DIFFUSION DISEASE. The characters of such masterpieces as Good morning, Hideji! (Ohayo, Hideji-kun) are often modeled after real people, ranging from celebrities to his own friends and acquaintances. We enter the world of a manga artist hugely admired for his attention to detail.
