Square Enix working on new action game News

Xbox 360 Wii News by Kristan Reed

18 November, 2008

Square Enix is setting up a new development team in Los Angeles, with a view to making an "action-oriented original IP game".

Job listings posted on Gamasutra and Square Enix's North American website revealed the publisher's western ambition, with the plan to build a studio in El Segundo "from the ground up".

The post read: "We are making an action-oriented original IP game here in sunny Los Angeles. We are looking for motivated master programmers to lay the foundation for a solid development team."

Tellingly, the senior programming position requires experience on Xbox 360 and Wii, and applicants must have at least one published Xbox 360 game on their CV. OMG BIAS.

Square Enix has yet to provide further comment.

Squenix sure loves the 360. PS3, not so much.

Indeed. Considering they made a large chunk of their cash from Sony haha. Ah well, I have both so at least I can get it on something.

So do I, which leads to the question: which system should I get FFXIII on?

If this was SE in the 90's i would have been confident that this would be decent at least.

So do I, which leads to the question: which system should I get FFXIII on?

That is a good question, Capcom is the only Japanese company i'd trust to develop/port to other consoles decently atm, maybe you should check to see how the PS3's Last Remanent is handled when that gets ported and see how they fair.

I wish Squenix would concentrate on FFXIII. It seems to be taking forever.
