Puppeteer is one of the most interesting upcoming games this year, and the PS3-exclusive\u2019s origins had an interesting consultant \u2013 a developer\u2019s son.<\/p>\n
Sony Japan Studio\u2019s Gavin Moore explained that the principle idea for Puppeteer came from playing with his young son, and seeing his disenchantment with games.<\/p>\n
“I’m playing games with my son, I’m in my house in Tokyo, we’re playing this two-player game – I’m not going to say what it was – and he just gets up and walks out,” said Moore. “He just goes outside and plays with his friends. So he comes back in, and I asked what that was all about. And he said they’re all the same. All the games we’ve been playing are all the same – you’re doing the same things.”<\/p>\n
“So I asked what he wanted, and he said he wanted a game that changed every five to ten minutes. And I was like, yeah right, well I want an Aston Martin. But he said ‘you make games for a living–surely you can do that?'”<\/p>\n
Moore\u2019s son helped inspire the traditional Japanese puppet show setting, where the backdrop and scenery continues to change as you play through the game.<\/p>\n
Moore also added that his son is now credited as a lead tester on the game and has enjoyed what he\u2019s seen so far.<\/p>\n
“It’s funny,” said Moore. “He thinks it’s his game. The other day he asked if it’s out yet – and then said ‘where are my royalties?'”<\/p>\n
Puppeteer is scheduled for a 11 September 2013 release on PS3.<\/p>\n
