Why hello there, kiddies. It's time for yet another SWERY interview!
There's a bit more of a story to this one as I actually had to track down the original interviewer, Heiter De Paola, to ask if I could post the English version on Planet REDWOOD. He's from Brazil and writes for Gamerview, but he's apparently bilingual (I contacted him via Twitter and he very graciously e-mailed me the English transcript, which I don't think has been posted anywhere else yet). Anyway, I really dig his line of questioning, and there's some stuff in here that SWERY hasn't talked about in other interviews. Like, did you know that if SWERY had set out to make the game he intended in the first place (even before Rainy Woods), we could have been playing "Lady York does CSI on the mean streets of Big American City, USA"? Also, it's made pretty clear that SWERY knows how ridiculous it is to find ammo in mailboxes and have "Agent Honor" tokens floating everywhere, but they thought it was more interesting to keep them in. And he was right.
Anyway, please enjoy this tasty lunch. It's so much more than a delicious crunch. So says Mr. Stewart.

New SWERY Interview! (Translated from the Portuguese)
I liked his comment on the map. DP is probably the first game where I've actually memorized the layout of the town.
I think he's pretty aware of what the technical flaws were... The post-mortem in GDM definitely indicated the production went through its share of problems. The lead programmer says it was their first time working on a next-gen console and that their data management was a "failure", where SWERY cites the biggest problem as their scheduling. Even the sound quality is cited as being "regrettable".
However, it definitely makes me even more excited to see what else SWERY and his team could get up to with more confidence and experience under their belt. I will always love everything about DP, but obviously SWERY and Access think they can do better, and I would love to see that happen.

"I'm a little scared to see what would happen if they cleaned up (out) all the uniqueness that makes Red Seeds great.
" @DOUBLESHOCK said:yeah, like how Mass Effect 2 handled it, except with even less shooting and more focus on exploration.so another generic shooter with an interesting plot? "" Great interview. He seems pretty self-aware of things. I'd like another game from him, but with better gameplay. "

I would like the gameplay to atleast function properly, so if its generic who cares as long as the story holds its own.
