I have often wondered if executives should even post on message boards. Yesterday Christian Svensson, Senior Director of Strategic Planning & Research for Capcom, decided to talk a littleSpyborgswith the nice folks onCapcom’s forum. In a mere two posts, Svensson announced thatSpyborgswill not be showing at E3 this year, and implied that the game will max out the Wii’s hardware.
The poster that originally grabbed Svensson’s attention made mention that he was tired of poor third-party support on the console, and wanted a game that would “make full use of the Wii’s power.” In reply, Svensson implicated that the Spyborgs would do just that.
Spyborgswill be that product. Wait and see.
When asked further down in the topic ifSpyborgswould be at E3 this year, Svennson was wonderfully candid:
No. Captivate was the announcement with very little detail shared… it’ll lie low for a bit until we’re ready for a bigger reveal (similar to what we did with theDark Voidannouncement last October with the bigger reveal at Captivate), so no E3 showing.
Our very own Nick Chester recently had a chance tocheck outSpyborgsin action at Captivate. His interaction with the game is very telling of what we can expect from the title. Personally, I could go either way with this one. I would love to have an excellent game that pushed the development envelope for the Wii, but I’m not quite ready to stampSpyborgsas that fantastical hardware shredder.
