Tecmo Moving Towards Downloadable Titles
While Tecmo will be showing off their line-up of premium titles during this year's Tokyo Game Show, the North American division of Tecmo are looking to get into the downloadable space in the near future.
According to the official website for this year's Tokyo Game Show, Tecmo are looking to hook up with developers to work on new and existing projects which will be primarily focused towards Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
This could mean that Tecmo are looking to start producing some new byte-size IPs, or reinvigorate some older franchises.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
