GS: Between 99 Nights and working with HexaDrive on Rez HD, you've been open to collaborating with people. Would you think about collaborating with Harmonix on a new rhythm game?

TM: Yeah, it's very exciting. If we had a chance like that, it would be very exciting. I met [Harmonix founder Alex Rigopolous] 12 years ago. I went to Boston to visit him and I had the concept of Rez, so we [did some] brainstorming. He had a project before Frequency, before Amplitude, for Epcot Center. It was a good thing and a very happy thing to see him have a big success. It's a good relationship. Frequency and Rez, I think they've got the same smell.

GS: What else do you see out there that has the same "smell?"

TM: I smell it in some indie games. I get some e-mails from indie creators that say they got inspiration from Rez, and I think that's very nice.

Nice.  Definitely makes me think he's seen/played Everyday Shooter and Synaesthete.  Oh, and GS Loc am EPIC FAIL

GS: At what point will you stop bringing the original Rez to other platforms and start doing a sequel?

TM: I also want to have the feedback from the people. I'm ready all the time, I'm always thinking about the future of that kind of experience and what is the next extension of the project. This is kind of a life's work to me.

ZOMG Rez 2?!

Also, this article had the greatest troll I've read all day in the reader's comments:

This game is crap. Everyone is making a big deal that it is in HD but it's nothing but a bunch of lines. This is not what I intend to use my $480.00 xbox 360 elite for. This game could of been on the playstation 1.

i'd suck some mizuguchi sausage for a REZ 2!

LOL at some clueless teenager trolling Rez.

Hey man, that troll is EPIC.

EPIC!!

[Cormacaroni]

He more-or-less confirmed the sequel on the 1Up Show, I thought. They didn't buy back the rights from Sega just to do Rez HD, I'm sure.

Having said that, i'd be happy to have him farm out ports for a while yet...Rez PSP plz...

[Joe Molotov]

LOL at some clueless teenager trolling Rez.

But he bought a $480 US American Dollar Xbox 360 Elite with HDMI output and a 120 Gigabyte HDD, that comes with three powerful core processors, full surround sound, and DVD playback with upscaling capabilities right out of the box, man! You can't just up and PLAY Rez on that. I mean come on, it's just lines!

mizuguchi to indie devs "LET ME SMELL YO DICK"

[Ichirou]

I thought this was gonna be "I can smell your taint."

[Cormacaroni]

Rez 2, on the Xbox 360, will be fucking awesome.

what would be your top candidates for the soundtrack, just out of curiosity?

[disgruntled_jojo]

Hells yes!  Honestly although I know rails shooters don't pull in the big bucks these days, I really love that genre for Rez.  Kinda hope he doesn't scrap it if he does manage a sequel.

I hope he just uses LCD Soundsystem
