Gravity Rush 10th Anniversary Interview with Keiichiro Toyama

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the Gravity Rush franchise! That means it’s been ten years since gamers in Japan first took to the skies and discovered Hekseville along with Kat on the PS Vita. To celebrate the occasion, we’re happy to share with you a new interview with the director of the Gravity Rush series, Keiichiro Toyama!

Shame this series never took off, so unique and charming. Also fantastic protagonist

[SinisterMister]

Fully agreed man

[Bathyj]

Great underrated series.

[patterson]

Loved these games.

Gravity rush was awesome, it worked perfectly on the vita, loved the tilting to aim; playing number 2 on the ps4 was just even better. It took everything about the first game and just made it better. Such a simply concept of 'fall and float' gave so many options for movement, exploration, and combat that it was insane. I would love a third entry.

The first two games are great, but vastly underrated. It would be nice to see a third title on the PS5. I can just imagine the dual sense features.

Would love if Sony add 60fps option on the game,and since Toyama says it would like to be envolve on anything GR related why not update the games to [email protected] or release the two in a remaster package!

great games, glad I own both. Hopefully Sony can still see value in small nice games like this. There is an audience for smaller games marketed properly. Its not like taking a 10K away from God of War or Spider-Man's marketing budgets would hurt their sales any. they should be using the big profits to foster smaller more creative internal efforts. They may not all be massive hits but not having them makes the line up weaker.

My love of Gravity Rush is honestly a bizarre one. Platinum'd the first game twice between Vita and PS4, and the second game twice (but one was Gravity Daze 2). Played the hell out of the second one and really enjoyed the online treasure hunts. There is truly something majestic about this series that takes you back to an era where games were simple and fun, and even back to your youth for a while. It really took my heart in such an odd way because I didn't expect it. It's not at all mechanically complex and doesn't have the polish of many other games.... But it honestly didn't need it and that's something that often gets lost. The series was truly a reminder that games can be amazing without the need for all of that. Such a charming series and I would say it was my best gaming experience in ages after Persona 5. I love Playstation, but I'll always have some strong animosity towards Sony for axing Japan studio.

I'd love nothing more than to see a third game announced, provided that it retains its charm and it's just the pleasant love letter to a simple time that the first two games captured so well.

I'll never forget stumbling upon the original one at E3 all those years ago. I didn't do anything but play that demo for nearly the entire time I had the chance to. here's hoping it gets a third chance 🙂

Absolutely amazing games.
