In a recent interview Producer Eric Fong explains the need for Blu-ray in video games.

Eric Fong: “Blu-ray allows us to provide a high-def audio and video experience without cutting corners or inconveniencing users with disc swaps.”

Developed by Game Republic, Folklore is one of the most anticipated RPG’s for the PlayStation 3. Due to hit stores this October, PSU conducted an interview with Eric Fong, one of the lead producers on Folklore and interviewed him on some of the unique features behind the game.

PSU: To remind our readers, what is the general storyline behind Folklore?

Eric Fong: Our two main characters, Ellen and Keats, are drawn to the mysterious Irish town of Doolin, where it is said the living can meet the dead. Ellen receives a letter asking her to meet her mother, whom she believes has been dead for 17 years. Keats, a reporter for the second-rate occult magazine “Unknown Realms”, gets a startling call for help from the small town. The two meet on the jagged cliffs of Doolin, and are immediately caught up in a murder-mystery and have to travel the netherworld to solve it.
