First it was Fumito Ueda, now Keita Takahashi is the second prominent Japanese developer to say they'd be interested in making a first-person shooter. Of course, this is Takahashi we're talking about here - the creator of Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy - so when he says 'FPS' you can expect it to be nothing like Halo.

"I had this idea for an FPS where the player's character grows in size, gets bigger and bigger as the game progresses," Takahashi told Develop.

"But as you get bigger some weapons are too small to use, so you have to improvise; maybe throw airplanes at the enemies. That sort of stuff. So I have this idea of making a fun and unique FPS, with the right team it would be a good FPS."

Sounds kind of fun, though Takahashi's games have always featured a recognizable protagonist - either the Prince in Katamari Damacy, or Noby Noby Boy. How Takahashi will keep that design element in an FPS where what your character looks like doesn't really matter would be interesting to see.
