[E3 2015] Square-Enix com vários anúncios no evento

Square Enix has “several” new game announcements planned for next month’s E3, the publisher teased in its latest results briefing.

“This is Deus Ex, launched this April,” the report reads next to a slide showcasing the newly announced Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. “In our private conference at the next E3, we are planning to announce several titles in addition to this one.

“We plan to make use of our IP in multifaceted approach, in Dragon Quest Heroes II and Star Ocean 5, as part of the efforts to strengthen and reboot our existing IPs, as I mentioned earlier.”

The publisher says it’s focusing on three key IP policies, which include:

Strengthening and rebooting existing IPs

“We would like to focus on how to utilize the numerous assets of content that we have nurtured so far, and apply them to the latest trend. As for the platform, we would like to use consoles and smart devices in parallel. Just focusing on one platform is not enough. We believe it is significant to serve both platforms, if we are to offer game content and services that appeal to the new generation.”

Creating new IPs

"The second policy is to create new IPs. I cannot disclose much at this moment, but we are working on various initiatives, including some experimental projects.
So far, we have created IPs for a wide range of platforms, including consoles, smart devices, PCs and publication. Based on this strength, we will actively work on creating new IPs in FY2016/3."

Collaborating with partner companies

“With so much changes going on in the market, we will suffer a big opportunity loss if we try to do everything all by ourselves. Through collaboration, we will utilize the strengths of other companies which we ourselves lack, and grow the size of the business. A good example is Dragon Quest Heroes. So far, we had not worked on a full-scale action RPG. However, we were able to create a new style for Dragon Quest through collaboration with Koei Tecmo Games. Based on this success, we want to collaborate more with partner companies, both in and out of Japan.”

Also in the report, Square Enix highlights its holiday lineup, which includes Rise of the Tomb Raider and Just Cause 3. The former, however, is only listed for Xbox One, rather than Xbox One and Xbox 360, which could suggest a cancellation or delay for the last-gen version.

Espero que consigam fazer alguma coisa que preste.
Qual o rolo que levou a saída do Wada, Suíno?

Olha, tinha gente que esperava que ele fosse sair depois da tragédia do lançamento de FFXIV,. Mas a gota d'água foi 2013, onde ele imaginou números astronômicos para Tomb Raider e Hitman e falhou. Nunca perderam tanto dinheiro como daquela vez.

Aí ele saiu logo que revelaram o resultado catastrófico. Problema do Wada é que quis crescer rápido demais. O Matsuda tá no cargo desde meados de 2013, ele começou meio doido, dizendo que tinha que lançar jogos diferentes a depender da região (ainda acontece com Dragon Quest), mas disse coisa boa também: que eles tinham perdido totalmente o rumo e que iria fazer um review extenso da companhia, cortando o que não funciona. Aí que aconteceu algo chamado Bravely Default, que "explodiu" principalmente fora do Japão.

Foi aí que ele falou que tinham que voltar a focar em JRPG que é o forte deles no final das contas. E claro, mantendo a força que os estúdios ocidentais deram (acabou que Tomb Raider vendeu mais de 8,5 milhões de cópias - bem mais que os números sem noção do Wada  até lol - a franquia nunca ficou tão forte, Deus Ex voltou com tudo também, etc).

Fato é... não perderam um tostão desde que FFXIV ARR foi lançado.

E o Wada... bom, ele ainda tá lá. Sabe a Shinra (que vai mexer com Cloud em parceria com a Avalanche)? É dele.

E acho que foi o Naoki Yoshida que zuou: "Bom, eu sabia que um dia ele iria fazer algo assim, uhauha".
