Ugh, those guys. Not only is that interview littered with the errors you found (good thing I'm not getting the PS2 version of Oni with a producer like that, who knows why he said "…bring the game to Playstation 2 for Nintendo."), but it also says "[Bungie has] been working on the game for a while, and Rockstars is taking their assets to bring the game…" while every other Dark Horse page says Oni is utterly Rockstar's.
On top of that, they make it sound as though Konoko is amoral or a Dark Angel "hero" (anyone who's watched more than key bits of the first episode care to comment on my metaphor?). "…but I will say that at the end of the game, the character goes rogue against the establishment. You know, it's good fun for the kids." says the producer. We all know Konoko's only doing what's best when she finds the TCTF is working with the Syndicate, or whatever happens; She's not doing it because she decides the guys who were on her side are no fun or because she just wants to rebel for the sake of it. I'm sure someone who read the Gamespot spoiler in full will agree--but don't tell us why! :)
