Thatgamecompany's PSN game flOw - Image 1Kellee Santiago of thatgamecompany sat down with Gamasutra to talk about how well PS3 gamers received their microbial downloadable game flOw (created by thatgamecompany's co-founder Jenova Chen), as well as hint at a new "emotional" game in the works.

While flOw turned out to be a success in terms of critical reception - even considered as the number 1 downloadable game in the PlayStation Network - Santiago said that thatgamecompany didn't feel the huge impact of the game's success, as they are in a 3-game deal with Sony anyway, and had 2 more games lined up for Sony.

She goes on to say that  Sudoku, as well as David Jaffe's Calling All Cars, will probably do better than fl0w. However, she isn't sure how well the 2 games translated for international markets because unlike flOw, the mentioned games weren't released in other territories on its launch.

According to Santiago, thatgamecompany is also currently working on a game which focuses on a new kind of emotion. The still unnamed "emotional game", Santiago said, can't be disclosed as of the moment since it's still under development. The particular emotion players will deal with in the game cannot even be pinpointed at the time of the interview, since they are still well within experimental stages.

On a side note, Xbox 360 and Wii owners may be delighted to know that their exclusivity deal with Sony will soon be over. flOw for all consoles? Why not?
