Man, somehow we missed the incredibly cool upcoming PSN game, Shatter, at E3. Thankfully, the kind folks at developer Sidhe agreed to participate in the PSB’s first-ever video interview using the PlayStation Eye. And considering the company resides down in New Zealand (insert generic Flight of the Conchords quip here), it’s just about the only way to get them talking in-person.
Shatter is like Arkanoid on steroids…and we mean that in the most positive way. Here, Managing Director Mario Wynands talks about the game’s slick graphics, power-ups and unique push/pull gameplay that makes this PSN game the real deal.
And what do you think of the PS3 Video Chat format via the Eye? Drop a comment and let us know…it could be a great way to conduct interviews with folks from across the globe.
Awesome Idea Loved It
Faster Way of Getting those Interview lol
*Cough*Bioshock 2 Interview*Cough*

Looking Forward to This Game

This is brilliant guys. I would imagine that this is far easier to do than actually going to different studios and make a video essentially doing the same exact thing. I mean, why do that all the time when you can conveniently do it from the PS3?
Not only that though, I would imagine that its far easier for you guys to just relax instead of holding your arm out the whole time when people speak. I would start getting shaky and tired.
This game looks great and I’m not usually stoked for downloadable games. :)
Will there be custom soundtracks?
I liked the video chat, it would be great to do it more often.
I am actually very surprised at the quality of the mic. I think I need to get me one of those official PS3 mics. :D Maybe a PS eye too… I need that platinum in Burnout. :P
We gave Mario a login to answer questions. Now he\’s in New Zealand, where – by my calculations – it\’s next Tuesday. Hopefully he\’ll be able to jump in soon.
Custom soundtracks are not currently supported, but as we are publishing the game ourselves we can keep an eye on requests and consider adding stuff if enough people want it.
