"While Square Enix are already experimenting with cloud-streaming with their recently announced Dive In service, the publisher announced a second cloud gaming initiative at the Tokyo Game Show today—Shinra Technologies.
Shinra Technologies, named after the company in Final Fantasy VII, is a cloud gaming company that is being led by former Square Enix president Yoichi Wada. It is headquartered in New York City, and will begin beta-testing its cloud gaming services in early 2015."
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
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.
There goes the Lifestream.
"Shinra Technologies, named after the company in Final Fantasy VII"
Jeez still riding on FFVIIs success, even in the little ways
"Shinra Technologies"
they need a more catchy name or at least simpler if they ever want to gain mind share with it
Wait didn't cloud fight the shinra corporation in ff7?
I'm literally playing FFVII right now for the first time. I'm on disc 2 heading back to the reactor in Corel to find the huge materia. Good times.
