Volition sacrifices graphics for gameplay and is thinking about developing for the GameCube.

You may have already heard of Volition. They're responsible for Summoner, the first Playstation 2 RPG, and they're hard at work on Red Faction, a first-person shooter for PS2 and PC. They stand out as one of the first developers to accomplish anti-aliasing on the difficult PS2 hardware. In an interview with GameSpot, Philip Holt, Volition's director of development, touched on a few interesting issues, including possible GameCube development:

GameSpot: "What about Xbox or GameCube? Have you thought about developing games for either of those consoles?"

Holt: "I think both of those consoles look great and certainly we're currently looking into development for one or both."

But would Volition be a good addition to the NGC developer community? Well, consider this comment...

GS: "Will Red Faction (for PS2) feature split-screen multiplayer support?"

PH: "Yes it will."

GS: "For four players?"

PH: "Two...The problem lies in trying to get your game to run fast and the sacrifices that have to be made...So instead we focused our vision on creating this stunning visual game."

Graphics over gameplay? Say it ain't so! Does this taint Volition's potential as a possible NGC developer? Hit the Talkback and tell us what you think!
