Probably one of the most significant criticisms of the first No More Heroes game was the fact that its “open world” wasn’t really all that “open”. But, when being interview, Goichi “Suda51″ Suda informed that all of that was about to change.

In an interview with GameSetWatch, Suda was asked about his desire to build a true open-world game, much like Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row. He acknowledged that No More Heroes was a step towards realizing his goal (or dream), but, as for the sequel, he said to “expect big changes for No More Heroes 2′s open world.” Which can only point to there being a more entertaining and really free “open world” environment.

He was also willing to give a little light on No More Heroes 2′s story: “In the case of No More Heroes 2, it’s just going to be one story again that takes place after No More Heroes 1.” he continues. “…there are still some heroes left.”
