Now that Rez creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi is hopefully finished doing the umpteenth reiteration of Lumines, he's ready to do something different, something virtual, something Second Life. Miz has agreed to create a virtual Tokyo for the pc game, and so far he envisions his creation a "museum of Japanese culture." What's more, he adds:
My work all these years has been to entertain people through video games, but this virtual Tokyo concept could be the next step and path... The Tokyo we are trying to create is based on the image of city. How do people in Tokyo perceive the city? How about foreigners? That's what we want to express.
That's nice and all Miz, but what about the flying penises and the furry fucking?

Oh dear god. This can only end in unspeakable horror.
Though I'm still considering trying Second Life one of these days, if only to travel around and see exactly what people are talking about. Besides, I'm sure there's a lot of stuff actually worth seeing in there, and I'm used to the Internet.
@Sabre_Justice:
There is no fun what so ever there.
A friend of mine told me she spotted a building with the Q? Entertainment logo on it in a Japanese area of SL. Wonder if it's Miz's home base...
Sega Saturn?
So I'll be able to fuck gender-ambiguous piles of shit and buy used panties from vending machines?
Cheaper than a plane ticket.
Considering SL's script language actually has audio-sync capabilities, it'd be interesting to see if Miz puts his own little synthesaesic touch on his build.
