scale3x win32Eric Chahi is the creator of Out of this World (Another World in Europe), a game beloved by many from back in their 16 bit days. To this day, Out of this World is one of the most amazing games I have ever played. I cannot even begin to describe the feelings I have about it. If you have never played it, you owe it to yourself to hunt it down and try it. You cannot really call yourself a gamer until you have experienced it. The game still sends chills down my spine (in a good way) today. Hell, even the graphics still impress me! But I digress…

Mr. Chahi is finally coming back to the game world, although his next game is in the very, VERY early developmental stages. This is just one of the few things I found out while reading Edge’s 20 questions segment with Mr. Chahi.

The final question that was asked is below, and I think you will like what Mr. Chahi’s answer is.

What excites you most about next-gen?

Nintendo Revolution's spatial interface, because interface is the communications bottleneck between player and program. Any improvement in this direction is better than drawing an extra zillion polygons.

Just the thought of Eric Chahi’s next game coming out on Revolution makes me want to weep! While he doesn’t say what system or systems he plans to release his next game on, it doesn’t hurt to hear that he is interested in the Revolution.

Sequel to Heart of the Alien please Mr. Chahi! (Heart of the Alien was the Sega CD sequel to Out of this World)
