Shane Kim Interview [Eurogamer]I'm very happy we didn't get into it, because launching a handheld platform is like launching another 360. You have to be fully committed, as an organisation, from a resource standpoint, to doing that. Frankly we've got a lot on our plate with Xbox 360 and Xbox Live. We don't have any experience in that space. Our content assets don't naturally lend themselves to driving success in that particular market. So we're happy to let Sony and Nintendo slog it out. I do think mobile is probably the more important platform in the future, and the number of Windows mobile devices and hardware that's capable of running Windows mobile in the future is really a compelling opportunity, and one where we don't have to worry about launching a new hardware platform too.
Το ζωντανό blog για όσους θέλουν να παρακολουθήσουν είναι εδώ ...Yoshinori Yamagishi, Star Ocean series producer mounts the stage to announce that Star Ocean: The Last Hope is the first in the series to take advantage of next-gen HD hardware. It's skewed more towards science fiction that before. He reveals that the logo, yes the logo, is completely different that previous logos. Christ. Good thing I love Star Ocean. The game's characters are heading into space to escape from the devastated world. That's what my magical earpiece translator just told me.
"The battle scenes will be compelled with the energy because of the Xbox 360." That's another quote. The game will launch in 2009. This translation is killing me, I can't go on. The screens look pretty damn hot, though. At least I hope they were screens. They looked like screens. The trailer we're watching now will hit Marketplace shortly. Maybe even in the U.S.? Possibly! The voice-over is completely English. Nukes are going off and here comes the 'Square-Enix X tri-Ace' logo! Mankind is searching for new hope in space! S.D.0001 Space Warp Drive!
Here's Hajime Kojima, Infinite Undiscovery producer from Square Enix. He says the game will launch on 9/11 in Japan. 9/5 in Europe, and North America in 9/2. However he clarifies that the European and North American 'launch dates' are actually ship dates, so it MIGHT NOT BE THAT EARLY, KIDS. "So please feel relieved about that." Wow, what? Who cares. Japan and Asia will have a simultaneous launch on 9/11. Oh but is it a ship date? I digress.
