Taken from the October 2002 issue of Famitsu Xbox, this interview covers the making of Capcom and Nude Maker’s uncompromising military vehicle simulator Steel Batallion, released exclusively for the original Xbox and famously designed in tandem with a multi-piece, 44-input cockpit-style control panel.
In addition to comments from director Hifumi Kono and mecha designer Junji Okubo, Capcom’s developers outline the technical accomplishments of their relatively small team, the designs of the distinctive “Vertical Tank” weapons and their pursuit of an authentic and slightly impressionistic aesthetic.
