SONIC CO-DESIGNER WORKING ON NEW PAC-MAN GAME
Gamasutra’s carrying interesting and unexpected news that Sonic the Hedgehog co-designer Hirokazu Yasuhara — who left Sega to work stateside for Crash Bandicoot/Jak & Daxter/Uncharted creators Naughty Dog — is now working at Namco Bandai’s U.S. studio on a new 30th anniversary Pac-Man game.
No details were given beyond Yasuhara’s involvement, but Gamasutra says Yasuhara’s already stated his desire to create a “new character action game,” so presumably we’ll be getting something more along the lines of his 20th anniversary Pac-Man World series than Taito’s re-imagined retro futurist Space Invaders games, with Xbox Live Arcade’s Pac-Man Championship having already fit that bill in 2007.
