Yoshiki Okamoto has recently just finished up a presentation to Microsoft according to his web site. Though no plans can be released to the public yet. Yoshiki said that "Game Republic has confidence." Looks to me like Yoshiki Okamoto isn't doing to bad after leaving his position at Capcom.
Ex-Capcom exec Yoshiki Okamoto's studio makes a presentation to Microsoft in Japan.
Former Capcom executive director Yoshiki Okamoto revealed through his Web site that his development studio, Game Republic, recently made a presentation to Microsoft. Although details on what was discussed were not disclosed, Okamoto comments that the meeting went well and that he hopes to receive a go-ahead on the proposed project in the near future. "I can't write the details [of the meeting] here, since they're confidential. But we're planning on filing patents on some of the ideas that were thought out for the project," comments Okamoto in his site's diary. "In other words, Game Republic has confidence."
Yoshiki Okamoto established Game Republic last July after he retired from his position at Capcom. Game Republic currently has studios in three locations--Osaka, Tokyo, and Nagoya prefecture. The studio in Nagoya, which consists mostly of ex-Capcom employees, is currently developing a game for an unknown platform. The studio in Tokyo is working on a project in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment.
