The XBOX 360 will be released in Japan today (December 10th 2005) so as a celebration the main nightly news show did a 10 minute feature on it or more like a 3 minute feature on the 360 and 7 minutes on Ninty Nine Nights :clap: They interviwed the legend Tetsuya Mizuguchi. He was even kind enough to take the interview crew around his office in Korea where they filmed loads of work in progress shots (This must have been filmed ages ago). So here they are just for you!! First up is a mystery box that the TV station wasN7t allowed to show. Just what is this mystery item? Some shots of a character animation demo. Notice that she has no hair ! The game God himself talking us through what's on screen. Some shots of an early build in action. If there's enough interest I'll rip the feature to MPEG 4 and add it to my FTP for you to watch. I have no time to translate it though. Yakumo
YOu guys do understand that the video is all in Japanese with a bit of Korean, right? YOu won't be able to understand what's being said so you'll miss most of the points that made it interesting. Still, if you want to see it then I'll do it. I'll leave the video at DVD resolution size but convert the image from MPEG 2 to MPEG 4 to reduce the files size. I'll post once again when it's ready to download. yakumo EDIT - Video now on-line. Resolution of DVD but with 56kbps MPEG audio to save on file size. Size of the 9minute 32 second clip is 216MEG IP ADDRESS - segagagadomain.serveftp.com LOGIN - RetroCore PASSWORD - kikugawa PORT - 21
The blurred out item is a Debug 360. You really aren't allowed to take pictures of them, but there are a few shots on the web.
