– The relationship shared between Ueda and Suda is shocking, seeing as they have opposite approaches to design.
– The fixed camera section about Killer7 makes me wish the game industry saw a God Hand 2.
– Suda’s experiences with post-traumatic growth are inspiring.
Thanks for the article, and for the continued high-quality of the work.

Buying a video game by Fumito Ueda, Suda51, or Yokotaro in digital format should be illegal (and I’m not looking at anyone in particular, Sony?).
