ravis_31: ideaworks Ruullzzz

moondog: thanks guys

redrum: And I'm Redrum ...your MC for the evening/morning

l1me: lol

clintonjeff: REDRUM RRULLEEEZZZZZZZ

drunk_monk: lol

ghostjs: u rock

l1me: true

redrum: Alright ... well, lets start with the questions ...





THE QUESTIONS BEGIN



redrum: Diippi asks: Is system rush like wipeout?

wshen: System Rush is influenced by Wipeout, but it's a completely different game. SR offers so much more in depth and gameplay than Wipeout.

ghostjs: cool

drunk_monk: kool

segagamer: I didn't like wipeout (the Saturn version at least) because it was just racing

moondog: Obviously wipeout being a futuristic racer - it has some influence on System Rush.. but the gameplay in SR is pretty different...

clintonjeff: MOONDOG RULES !!

ghostjs: yea

segagamer: I have enjoyed playing all the game Ideaworks have produced so far, so System Rush is a definite for me



redrum: krisse asks: Were any of you involved in porting Tony Hawk, Tomb Raider, Colin Mcrae and Pandemonium to N-gage? They were great by the way, Colin is amazing...

clintonjeff: colin ©®™

ravis_31: colin,thps rock

moondog: THPS (etc) were all ported by the team at Ideaworks - but I'm responsible for original titles like System Rush

nw_mr2: I love CMR, I only have the demo but after my paycheck I'm ordering it

segagamer: they made Colin McRae too? **bleep**. The demo was nice

nw_mr2: thps was great as well

clintonjeff: MOONDOG RULES !!

[2005-04-28 10:12 AM] krisse: the game is nice sega



redrum: Stingwormhole asks: I heard something like group shadow racing in arena, how will it work out? How will we decide who to beat and, could you explain this system to us a bit?

wshen: Previous to now, games only supported one-on-one shadow racing. What we've done is give the player the ability to race and download any group of 3 shadows and race against them simultaneously. It really provides a much more fulfilling race experience.

stingwormhole: wow

l1me: wow cool

segagamer: nice

nw_mr2: great idea!

segagamer: i like that

l1me: a point system is cool

wshen: First N-Gage game to have this feature!

clintonjeff: w00t !! @ wshen

ghostjs: cool

krisse: maybe the first game ever to have this feature?



redrum: dmack asks: How long has the game been in production ?

moondog: The game has been in production just under 12 months... about 6 of those was pre-production and the remaining months in full production.



redrum: jason_w asks: Did Tron influence you guys in anyway for the design of this game?

wshen: Tron definitely was an influence... You guys are pretty perceptive. The three outside sources that influenced us the most was Tron, Wipeout and F-Zero.

ghostjs: mmm! f-zero was a cool game

moondog: We all dug the kinda retro future style of Tron - so like wipeout, on some levels it was influential in the art design

nw_mr2: 3 good games

clintonjeff: tron was fun !



redrum: drunk_monk asks: Will there be a wide selection of weapons & unlockables available in system rush ? Please name a few if you can, thanks.

moondog: There are no weapons in System Rush (sorry guys) but there are a number of unlockables - such as a GP mode (that can be played via Bluetooth as well as single player) and some additional download vehicles

ghostjs: doh!

l1me: **bleep** no weapons

wshen: However, we just may have some nice surprises for you in the sequel...

segagamer: SEQUEL?????

ravis_31: what a sequel??

clintonjeff: SEQUEL !!

krisse: Sequel??

ghostjs: sequel!?!?!??!!!?!

krisse: yaaaaay

clintonjeff: OMG OMG OMG

krisse: I told you there are lots of n-gage games we don't know about

segagamer: **bleep** you guys plan way ahead

segagamer: lmao

clintonjeff: THERES A SEQUEL ALREADY !!

ravemjr: ffs..concentrate on the original System Rush first guys

moondog: there are power ups and pickups in the game that affect the enemy - you can also destroy enemies by sucking energy from them

clintonjeff: omg vanityklaw is here-->

clintonjeff: m00nd0g RULEZZZZZ

ravis_31: go moondog go moondog



redrum: drunk_monk asks: What makes system rush unique and stand out from other N-Gage games?

drunk_monk: nice @ rr for asking =D

wshen: System Rush is the fas-*test*-('") racer that we have on the N-Gage. It also offers a heavy Arena offering. We also think that it's the best looking game on N-Gage.

ghostjs: cool!!

clintonjeff: ITS THE FASTEST !

moondog: you'll also find SR to be one of the fas-*test*-('") titles on the device

ghostjs: nice

ravemjr: mm nice @shen

krisse: faster than colin mcrae?

wshen: Definitely faster than Colin

ghostjs: AWESOME!!!!!!

clintonjeff: OMG OMG ITS FAST !

segagamer: cool

efong: System Rush breaks with the typical racing mold by having deceit, trivially and underhanded behavior, with the odd twist or two.

shadowcow: fast is good

ghostjs: sweet



redrum: dmack asks: Did you review other N-gage games before starting production of system rush ?

dmack: no i didnt

dmack: jk

moondog: Nokia always give us copies of N-Gage titles so we've had a play of pretty much everything - just for fun

dmack: thanks moon

wshen: Most definitely. We always want to review other games (even those outside of N-Gage) of the same genre before creating a game. It's the only way that we can be sure to offer more than what is currently out there.

clintonjeff: OMG !! Nokia gimme some n-gage titles !!

stingwormhole: LMAO



redrum: segagamer asks: I heard your progress on the Arena affects certain websites on the internet - do you have any more info on this?

ghostjs: this is so cool speakin to game designers and ect.

wshen: Since each track is based on an actual website, things you do in the game will be reflected on those sites. For instance, as the Arena community hacks through the sites in the game, the actual sites will actually begin to appear hacked. Top times and clips are also posted to these sites.

ghostjs: awesome!!!!!11

segagamer: cool

krisse: wow...

clintonjeff: WOW

ghertman: mega!!!

wshen: There are also some interesting secrets for you to find.

segagamer: I'm going to play this online so much

l1me: holy pie

ghostjs: i like pie



redrum: diippi asks: How many hours of gameplay this game offers? And will there be a demo?

moondog: well - I had the -*test*-('")ers playing though the whole thing the other day just to make sure on a few things - and these guys play the game ALL DAY for MONTHS - and it took them about 8 hours to play through (and they are verrryyyy goooood)

l1me: hmmm

segagamer: 8 hours nice

jason_w: cool

l1me: 8 hrs plus arena play

moondog: plus there stuff to do once you finished the story mode

wshen: We're offering 2 different demos... 1 that you can download off Arena and one that you can pass on to your friends via Bluetooth if you have the SR game.

segagamer: sounds like there are MANY UNLOCKABLES!

krisse: well done wshen, that's a really good idea

segagamer: wshen - very nice!

nw_mr2: yeah good iDEA!

lucabrasi: Oh sweet!!! A demo!



redrum: ghertman asks: seems like a great game... so ARE the graphics gonna tune up for release...

[2005-04-28 10:30 AM] the_end has joined

l1me: tune up?

jason_w: define tune up...

ghertman: get better...

moondog: I don't think the static images show the game in all it's glory... play and and you'll be pretty blow away at what we've got out of the N-Gage

segagamer: I think the graphics are supposed to be Snakes/Rez style anyway

wshen: You can download the demo off the SR and N-Gage websites, then Bluetooth over to your N-Gage.

krisse: tune up? they look fine to me, as long as you understand they're tronish instead of realistic

ghertman: nothing wrong... just curious...



redrum: drunk_monk asks: When is the demo out?

wshen: The demo will be available within the next month.

krisse: !!

stingwormhole: YAY

krisse: wow!

diippi: w0000000t

segagamer: OMG

l1me: OMFG

drunk_monk: kool

segagamer: really?!

ghertman: good...

stingwormhole: OMFG SR DEMO

l1me: W00T



redrum: Is there any kind of plot to this game, or is it pretty much pure racing?

redrum: oops ... asked from krisse

moondog: Yeah - there's a story mode in the game that gets you into the undergournd hacker world of System Rush... some of the story is told through comic book scene - some is told in game... and there's a couple of twists too

krisse: cooool...

redrum: sweet

wshen: It should be noted that though we have a very compelling storyline, it is in no way obtrusive to gameplay. If you like a cool story, great. If not, you can skip through it.

l1me: w00t

segagamer: thats good wshen



redrum: ghertman asks: How many tracks will there be???

wshen: There are 15 tracks in story mode, 5 tracks in GP mode and over 55 races total.

segagamer: 55 races? o_O

jason_w: nice

ghertman: 55??? and 8 hours... nice...

segagamer: thats quite a lot..

wshen: We wanted to give you a full experience!



redrum: ravemjr asks: Regarding the System Rush web sites, will there be WAP or N-Gage broswer compatible versions for the sites? If not ponder about it a bit...

wshen: Not currently, but it's a great idea! Maybe we'll see a bit of that in the future.

segagamer: that would be good wshen because there are users on the arena without a PC



redrum: Stingwormhole asks: I want some more clearance about arena features, will arena challenges will be about monthly levels, like thps? Or will they be like crash nitro kart which sucks in my opinion.

l1me: CNK rocksssss

wshen: The Arena challenges will lean more towards the THPS, but we're going to add some elements that are unique to SR.

stingwormhole: nice

ravemjr: yeah

l1me: indeed



redrum: acinonyxjubatus asks: will we be able to modify our cars?

stingwormhole: pi mp j00 ride!

moondog: In the game you can optimize aspects of the car as you progress through the game's networks... you also get a choice of 2 vehicles per network



redrum: drunk_monk asks: You mentioned a sequel earlier to System Rush, is it currently in development and is it planed for the current N-Gage models or a future model? Thanks.

drunk_monk: YEASH!

krisse: great Q drunk monk

wshen: We got some interesting things cookin' but we really can't talk about it now. Sorry...

l1me: Omg

stingwormhole: lol

krisse: LOL

ravemjr: THE PRODIGAL ANSWER FFS

krisse: that's not a no...

segagamer: they'll keep quiet till E3

segagamer: i bet the N-Gage will have a tonne of surprises at e3

atropos: Hi Mr. Shen.... How long did it take you to learn how to make games? wshen: I'm always learning how to make better games... The learning never ends!

efong: E3 May 18-20 in LA - check it out!

ravemjr: wow...I was gonna try and win the trip @1up

krisse: Nokia has one of the biggest stalls in the place, I think only Microsoft has a bigger one



redrum: jason_w asks: Will we be able to unlock or buy new parts for our rides and customize the looks and capabilities of them?

moondog: SR is not really about modding (like NFSUG for example) so there aren't any additional features like that in the game... but there are some new vehicles to unlock



redrum: redrum asks: What is your all time favorite game? What is your favorite N-Gage game (besides system rush of course)? Will… you first?

wshen: My favorite game of all time? I'm going to cheat and give you 2. The original Zelda and currently, God of War. My favorite N-Gage game? System Rush! (other than that, Colin...)

efong: All time Fav: Halo 2. Fav N-Gage game: Fifa 2004

moondog: My fav games are Umjammer Lammy and Metal Gear Solid - on N-Gage, it's either THPS or that Rally game with that Colin fella in it (staying loyal to the troups)

fulani: do you guys actually play N-Gage then?

jason_w: HALO 2!!!!!!!!!

jason_w: efong ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

vanityklaw: Parappa is better.

ravemjr: not!

fulani: Parappa rules

vanityklaw: I'll shut up now.

ravemjr: lol

jason_w: lol

moondog: vanity

ravemjr: cameo appearance

[2005-04-28 10:46 AM] sega: Whats your Fav SEGA Game of all time? did any of you guys have a Master System?

ravemjr: and cameo dissappearance



redrum: ghostjs asks: Do you guys use a graphics pad to do your drawings?

moondog: it's a matter of preference - some of the 2D art is done with graphics pads - but most of the 3D artists still just use a mouse



redrum: Krisse asks: Who did you get to do the system rush soundtrack?

ravis_31: is there a sndtrack??

moondog: A Japanese club DJ called Ken (please don't ask me to spell his sirname) did the ingame sound track - there are some remixes too coming out.

redrum: Ken rulzzz

redrum: ;-)

krisse: LOL, where are the remixes being published, as downloads on the site?

wshen: All the remixes were done by London DJ's.



redrum: maqy asks: You have a great graphic engine but this is really your first game for N-Gage completely made by you. How many games have you made apart from System Rush? Can you give us some names?

moondog: this is the first original title for N-Gage.. but we did Tomb Raider, Colin, Panda, and THPS prior to System Rush

krisse: Panda???

krisse: ohh pandemonium

moondog: <--- calls it panda

krisse: easier to spell, moondog

moondog: lol



redrum: atropos asks: I wanted to know if Mr. Shen had any role models...like other game designers

wshen: Of course... I'm a big fan of Miyamoto and all his games. He really knows how to create games that are easy to play, hard to master and impossible to put down.

stingwormhole: Shigeru Miyomoto rulz!!!



redrum: And questions for the users guys? ... they like questions.

l1me: i love questions!

jason_w: shoot

wshen: What do you guys think about the SR videos and screenshots we've made available to the public?

drunk_monk: AWESOME

ghertman: great...

segagamer: wshen - very interesting, I think it looks like Rez

atropos: They look AWESOME!

redrum: Very cool

jason_w: nice

ravemjr: PWNAGE!!

ravis_31: very cool

atropos: I really like the retro look

fulani: looks cool - but I still don't get what the game's about!



redrum: SEGA Asks: Are you looking forward to making the Next Gen games for the New N-Gage in 2007? any hints to what they might be?????

moondog: Always looking forward to the challenge of future development and look foward to seeing what the Nokia guys throw our way

krisse: Redrum, is that an official statement?

krisse: n-gage 2 in 2007?

redrum: Not sure where that date came from no

krisse: oops, said "sega asks", sorry

krisse: sorry, I thought you'd said that yourself redrum

krisse: phew

ravemjr: krisse wasnt it decided the gage had until late 2006?

krisse: rave, 2007 was the date the head of n-gage mentioned , but he said something like "by 2007 many nokia devices will be more powerful than PSP"



redrum: Well guys ...thanks for coming to the live chat ... does the system rush team have any last questions for the players before we end?

wshen: Love to hear what types of games you'd like to see in the future on the N-Gage.

fulani: NOT Tomb Raider

fulani: I'd like to see a decent puzzle game

segagamer: lol

moondog: I'd line up for weeks to buy that game!

krisse: HEY, we want to see an MMORPG like Tibia ME, but with N-gage graphics
