"Tekken will always be a gaming platform"

Katsuhiro Harada, Tekken series producer, said that all producers should make their own titles for the Xbox 360. "If you're in the game industry but do not produce titles for Xbox 360, it means you're doing something wrong in your strategy." "The Tekken franchise has been confined for so long on PlayStation platforms, but starting with Tekken 6 has landed on Xbox 360 to also gain an even wider." Harada also said that all the upcoming chapters will see the light on the Microsoft console.

Sony Santa Monica cancels three games

The LinkedIn profile of Steve Johnson, a sound designer for Sony Santa Monica, has revealed that the study would have wiped out three projects for the PlayStation 3. Such securities, now deleted, were High Rise, Hand of God and Psynapse. Considering the quality of jobs previously out of the study of God of War is a pity that three projects have suffered a similar fate.

The profile of Johnson, however, confirmed that the studio is currently working on two unannounced titles. One of these could be God of War 4 since, as we have always been told, the adventures of Kratos are certainly not ended with the ending of God of War III.
