When you imagine the sort of games that influence Deus Ex/Epic Mickey creator Warren Spector, you probably wouldn’t have expected a Japanese RPG from the PlayStation to be among them.
During a playthrough of Deus Ex with the folks at Game Informer, it was revealed by Spector that the Konami-developed Suikoden remains a highly-influential game for him.
A few of us at Pixelitis got the chance to discuss this a bit more at a roundtable discussion regarding the upcoming November dual release of Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion and Power of Two at this year’s New York Comic Con. Spector didn’t mind sharing a few more details regarding that key influence and how it’s managed to peak its head out over the past decade or so.
