Ed Annunziatta did an interview for Equinox's video game documentary. The video takes a look into different perspectives of video games, the good, the bad, and how games don't always have to be about violence.
Ecco the Dolphin was different from other games because its focus was exploration more then killing and solving puzzles rather then racing through mindless eye candy. In the Equinox video Ed explains his view on video games in general and what he was going for when he created Ecco.
Moving on to a new subject, I wanted to talk a little about online petitions and how I noticed through the years of owning an Ecco the Dolphin website, how people think those things actually work to get anything done. Well let me just say they don't work the best way to draw the attention of Ecco's creators is websites like these and members showing their support for the game long after its dead.
If a website like this one that's about Ecco the Dolphin can generate enough users and prove to companies like Sega that this game has lots of profit potential then yeah they would be stupid not to make another Ecco game. The Ecco community has generated a little less then a cult following most of us who own Ecco websites run them at our own expense and don't make a profit from it.
If an Ecco website can't generate enough followers then an online petition won't be able to generate enough signatures, and believe me these petition websites know when people are just signing something to sign it rather then people signing it because they really want their voice heard. Online petitions don't work at all! So stop thinking making a new one and gathering signatures can make a difference it won't, show that your a big fan by supporting websites like mine and others by spreading the word and speaking out on blogs and forums.
