Gates+Sakaguchi=?????

[Schultz]

I am sure most of you that play video games have heard of the newly inked contract between Bill Gates and Hironbu Sakaguchi ( excuse me if I miss spelt his name). For those who have not, the contract states that Hironbu (the master and originator of the FF series) will produce two totally exclusive rpg's just for x-box 2 (supposedly being released end of this year). The games will probably be released either late 2006 or early 2007. I personaly am pretty hyped, x-box really needs good rpgs and who better than Mr. Final Fantasy to produce them. What thoughts doust thou denizens of anime think?

P.S.- Don't count on the games ever being released on any other system, unlike nintendo Gates is true to his word. Oh and to any who are happy about re4 being released on ps2 I laugh and fart in your general direction, do none of you realize why the re games are being released on the gamecube, its because ps2 has too weak a graphics processor to properly play the games. re4 will look and play like crap on ps2, hah hah hah!!!

Haha i am late to this thread but all i got say..
Gates keeps his word? LMFAO .. yea right.. lets say "Secure Computing Initiative" yea like that has done any good..

And 2nd you don't know anything about the ps2 and other systems.. The RE games where put onto the Nintendo because Nintendo signed an agreement to have them an exclusive.. to try and push the gamecube.. Many companys do this.. when exclusive's are lost is when they don't turn enough sales and then the company's push them out onto other consoles.. I know a few of these that has happened.. where xbox only and then all of a sudden where Ps2 and GC. Another thing because you compare just numbers you first gotta know what they mean and what is inside of the systems.. just like RISC and CISC processors they work differently just because one has higher MHZ doesn't mean it will out perfrom the others.. (Anyone every remember Alpha chips?)

But don't blantly say things will suck just because of a system.. the Ps2 has probably one of the most Unique GPU and is the only 128bit one in any of the systems.. The only time you can talk about if it will look like crap is when the game is actually out.. but before then don't talk anything.. Also don't talk anything about next gen systems because there is still alot unknown.. and even with the next gen we can still get the same shit games that we are getting now.. well least IMHO no game coming out as of lately has interested me ever so slightly.. well RE4 *Grins*.



And onto your main question.. Now i ask for the rest of the facts.. Will he be working with his own development team.. or will he be assigned bunch of people by microsoft?

a game isn't made just by the designer its made by the whole team you have working on the project.. Not only that but management.. If management pushes a game too fast then it won't be as good as if they truely give them time to make it right. there is and always will be more to a game then just 1 guy.. but thats what i hate. generally only 1 guy gets the credit. for the work of many others..
