Konami Talks PS2
Posted by @ 3:24 PM, EST
Core found an interview with Konami’s Akada-san. He’s talking about their Pawafuru Puroyakyu (baseball) series PS2 game.
Here’s a bit:

"Question: What aspects will be improved on the PlayStation2?

Akada-san: As you might expect, the graphics are completely different from previous sequels. For example, even the basic graphics used for the athletes have been improved. In the past we used simple polygons to create the 'Pawapuro-kun' (character). On the PlayStation2 we're using thousands of polygons just on the characters.

Question: Loading times plagued earlier incarnations, will that issue be resolved on the PlayStation2?

Akada-san: Loading will be much shorter on the PlayStation2. We realize it's important to maintain a fast tempo throughout the game."
