John Woo and Chow Yun Fat, who have partnered on numerous Chinese action movies including A Better Tomorrow 1 & 2, Once A Theif, The Killer and Hardboiled, have both agreed to collaborate on a Playstation 2 role-playing game based on Chow Yun Fat’s famous gangster persona, incorporating John Woo’s trademark slow-motion gunplay. The game could be release by the fall of 2002, but no further details have yet surfaced.<\/p>\n
The Suikoden side-story game Suikogaiden Vol.1: Swordsman of Harmonia, due out this fall, will be the first of a two-part “digital novel” game for the Playstation, similar to typical life-sim style adventure game. The game is a side-story to Suikoden 2, and will feature cameo appearances from Suikoden 2 characters.<\/p>\n
