Hardcore Gamer: "Goichi Suda, better known as Suda51, has undoubtedly contributed some of the most imaginative video games in the history of the medium. Whether it’s the cerebral thrills of Killer7 or the over-the-top action of No More Heroes, Suda51 has brought the arthouse to games. Although he’s been working for nearly twenty-five years, Suda51 is showing no signs of slowing down and is remastering the classic The Silver Case for release this fall. In celebration of this release, we’ve decided to curate a limited run series dubbed “Summer of Suda,” which will take a look back of some of his most memorable games, evaluating what they contributed at the time of their release and how history looks back at them today. "
From IGN: "Following Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi and No More Heroes creator Goichi Suda, popularly known as "Suda51," Capcom veteran Hiroyuki Kobayashi announced his move to NetEase Games back in August this year. Today, NetEase revealed Kobayashi's new studio as GPTRACK50, located in Osaka. At Capcom, Kobayashi worked as the producer on the Resident Evil series as well as Devil May Cry.
“I was at Capcom for 27 years. During my time, the company became a lot bigger and a lot of new staff came in,” Kobayashi told IGN in an exclusive interview.
“I worked on a wide array of titles at Capcom, but I wanted a new challenge,” he explained. “Of course, it’s not like Capcom didn’t allow me to try out new things, but now that the company is a lot bigger, things are different from the way they were when I joined the company as a freshman back in 1995. Everything now needs to be approved and things just take more time to get greenlit. I’m the kind of creator that wants to be able to deliver a new experience while it still feels fresh, and I had been thinking of creating my own studio to make that possible.”"
Goichi Suda (Aka Suda 51) is a peerless developer, renowned for the making of some of the most unique games. Here are the best ones to date.
Peerless?
I’ve always heard his games have repetitive portions. I appreciate unique and creative games, but repetition dilutes even the greatest games (ie Arkham Asylum).
Shadows of the damned was pretty wild. That and lollipop chainsaw are the only ones ive played but I’d give it to SoTD.
Cultured Vultures' Ryan: "I am now a gamer with a backlog. I will never be able to complain about having nothing to play for as long as I live, and as much as it makes me sweat about my finite time left on this earth, it also means I have the responsibility to figure out how to use that time."
first time? I've been struggling with a backlog ever since I got my PS4 in 2013. I'm almost embarassed at how many PS4/Switch games I have yet to play.
I prefer a huge backlog to no games at all to play tbh lol I've made peace with never catching up. I play wts fun for as long as it remains fun for me and move on and I'm completely happy doing that as long as I enjoyed it enough.
Do I leave games unfinished ? Yes, a crap ton lol
I miss Suda. Would love a Suda collectors bundle of remastered gems.
I still need to purchase "hand in Killer7" which supposed to wrap up a few loose ends in the story. Easily one of his best by far.
I'm a huge fan of his work as well. I still laugh at the potty humor of shadows of the damned!
