Ken Kutaragi, who at that time was a Sony computer He moved, along with his research, from one lab to another, until Teruo Tokunaka took him to see then-president Norio Ohga to expose his idea.
Sony's dome, reluctant from the outset to enter the video game market, was intended to end the adventure here. However, Kutaragi's obstinacy caused the company to move forward. The company derived the project, with Kutaragi to the head, to Sony Music not to be responsible for the unpredictable consequences of the bet.
The collaboration, in the end, was essential for the production of CDs. Until , the company would not have a section of video games, Sony Computer Entertaiment. Sony launched the PlayStation in Japan on December 3, Success was immediate. The key was in the facilities offered by the company to the video game developers, enthusiastic about the great technical possibilities, the three dimensions and the CD.
Mot because GTA did, but because it would enable us to add features at a slower pace, rather than revealing everything the game has to offer on the first level. Missions, eh? So what else is new? Are there loads more cars? My personal favourite is the very small car driven by a giant cow. It beggars belief. You can knock out an engine, and in rare cases even tear the entire car in half. So, being car crash aficionados, do they enjoy watching those Police, Camera, Action-style 'rubberneck' TV programmes?
Neil grins: "The best was one I saw in the States recently. One of the factors that made the original title such a joy to play was the attentive emulation of'real world' physics.
Not surprisingly, the technology behind it has been improved for the sequel. You could push a pedestrian in front of your car, then brake, and the pedestrian would carry on sliding; then, say, hit another pedestrian and smash them both through a glass window.
Which should cheer us all up. Speaking of pedestrians, there are a whole bunch of improvements here. But first let's ask about the multi-player options. The original Carmageddon deathmatch mode was a tad flawed in that department. Otherwise, they tended to get lost, and I can see how it could've been frustrating.
Carma going to have much tighter deathmatch arenas. So, they may be responsible for the goriest game in history, but are they at all squeamish? Patrick looks contemplative; "I love good splatter movies - Bad Taste and Brain Dead are some of the best pieces of cinema ever made.
Bui I can't stand real blood -particularly my own, which belongs inside my body where I can't see it. Got any particular favourites? Patrick brightens up considerably: "Jeffrey Dahmer's my man! He had style: eating his victims, drilling into diem while they were alive Woah, horsey! Does the fact that you live on an island contribute to this nihilistic sense of humour? Is everyone on the Isle of Wight like this? Patrick shrugs: "Well, there was a bit of witchcraft going on here a couple of years ago - people sacrificing goats and things.
Everybody in the room laughs out loud. But we wouldn't like to give odds on whether or not he was joking There's still a long way to go before Carmageddon II is ready for the nation's disapproval. At the time of our visit, the team was beavering away in an attempt to get a special preview version ready for the E3 show in Atlanta.
But you'll be able to savour the game in its full, glass-smashing, limb-wrenching, vehicle-buckling, gore-sodden glory later this year when we bring you an exclusive demo. On the evidence we've seen thus far, Stainless just might manage the double. If the censors decide, in their infinite wisdom, to clamp down on Caima IPs bloodfest, there's always Plan B, as Stainless reveal. The version of Carmageddon IIwe saw was the 'full-blooded', uncensored version. At the time of writing, no decision had been made regarding its UK release.
Obviously, while SCI are keen to avoid another confrontation with the BfiFC, they'd prefer to see the deep red 'director's cut' on the shelves. And so would we Past examples from the worfd of cinema suggest that the BBFC is capable of seeing the joke when It comes to 'comedic' gore - witness the aforementioned Brain Dead, which escaped uncut, or Paul Verhoeven's splatterific Starship Troopers, which was passed with a 15 certificate Like those films, Carmageddon II sets out to amuse rather than appal.
But just in case the game falls foul of the censors, Stainless can adopt Plan B, as Mat Sullivan explains. They'll behave exactly the same as the humans, but with different animations and green blood. Fingers crossed for the full-on, gristle-packed incarnation. If you thought pedestrians had a raw deal In the first game, you're in for a shock with the second installment.
For the sequel, each 'ped' is constructed from around 70 polygons -these are proper, three-dimensional people. And since Stainless are no longer dealing with dumb sprites, they are free to bless their creations with more realistic behaviour patterns: the new Improved peds can walk, swagger, trot or flee in a mad, arm-waving panic.
Sometimes they even get down on their knees and beg for mercy. The naive fools. Want more? Well, here's another leap forward for stomach-churning technology: detachable body parts. Strike a glancing blow and you can tear somebody's leg clean off. Or send both their arms bouncing across your bonnet Or hurl them into a nearby lamp-post with enough force to decapitate them. This result was achiever 9 years after the launch. It is actually similar unit as the original PSX, but smaller and with slimmer design.
