Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
Because if there's anything gamers want from Square Enix, it's more MMOs.
I see square enix slowly moving away from traditional console games and going more mmo and online flash games in next gen. They've been doing that for awhile already and I think they will contine that unfortunately.
Who gives a shit?
SquareEnix went from being one of the most important game studios at the end of the PS2 era, to one of(if not the most)insignificant gaming studios at the end of the PS3 era.
Just look at all the decisions they made this generation as to how a gaming studio shouldn't been run, unless you want to run it into the ground that is.
There goes Squarenix again, announcing new titles before even finishing existing ones.
If they are gonna announce something make it so that the gaming public will not have to wait years to actually see the game at all.
NO MORE MMOS or Mobile crap. Just finish Lighting Returns and FFXIV, SOO u can put more work in on VersusXIII. THEN KH3 then get started on FFXV and FFXVI for next gen! Just Finish All current projects.
