High Voltage.

[Roxas]

Fortress?

[AceBandage]

It's obviously that western Final Fantasy game that got leaked a while ago.

High Voltage.

The World Ends With Conduit

[Mr. Pointy]

It better be Secret Of Evermore 2 or I'm gonna go all Carltron on motherfuckers.

[kenji]

Fortress aka Final Fantasy wRPG Reboot

[ULTROS!]

Western Final Fantasy game?

[Maxim726X]

When are we getting another Chrono game?

What are they waiting for??

Hell to freeze over.

how would you feel about a reboot of chrono as a linear story driven adventure game!

[Galvanise_]

Whenever I hear that a Japanese company is working with an EU/NA company my mind automatically thinks 'ruh-roh'. Here's hoping this one turns out really good.

[Londa]

SE siiigh why do they keep trying to make NA games?

When are we getting another Chrono game? What are they waiting for??

Last I heard them mention the series, they were pissed that Chrono Trigger DS didn't sell enough since I guess 800k is a disappointing number for a port of a 15 year old game they charged full price for.

[cosmicblizzard]

I'd be 100% fine with it if Kato wrote it. Better than getting nothing and leaving all those loose ends.

[Enk]

Final Fantasy: Gunblade Squad

[Einbroch]

Secret of Evermore 2.

Believe.

[TheSeks]

Parasite Eve 4 to be developed in the US like Parasite Eve 1.

</3 ;____; PE3 is gonna bomb for being on PSP and this will never happen.

[cpp_is_king]

This is the last thing the world needs. With their track history for fucking up games over the past 5-7 years, are you sure you're prepared to go down this route?

[From The Dust]

Isn't this kind of non-news anyway? We already knew they are working with a western company (they even had a presentation on it). There isn't much of an update here other than a refresher

[Hot Coldman]

The World Ends With Conduit

on verge of tears

[Seda]

SE siiigh why do they keep trying to make NA games?

Dungeon Siege looks decent.

[Shed_a_Ninja]

Isn't this old news? I recall reading on this very site that Square-Enix was supposedly making a game with Obsidian or some other American developer.

[GreenBikerDude]

How did SquareEnix go about owning the Dungeon Siege series? Did they buy it from Gas Powered Games or something else?

[DaBuddaDa]

Take Two used to own the Dungeon Siege name, but I'm not sure exactly how SquareEnix got a hold of it. I know SquareEnix published Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander 2 last year, so there has been a previous relationship between the two companies. Gas Powered is not making this though, It's Obsidian Entertainment.

[BobTheFork]

They are waiting for people to pay $40 for a rom on a cart.

[cuyahoga]

Double Helix?

[Orayn]

I really hope it's that "Fortress" game that GRIN had started before they got canned. That looked like it could have had a lot of potential.

[Neuromancer]

I'd buy it

[Brainiac 8]

It better be Secret Of Evermore 2 or I'm gonna go all Carltron on motherfuckers.

This so hard.

I really want a new Evermore game. :(

[CrunchyFrog]

:lol "As Commodore Leaf said in 'Mars Needs Lumberjacks', I wood do it!"

[Cornbread78]

SE siiigh why do they keep trying to make NA games?

My question as well. almost embarassing at this point. It's obvious they have a man crush on Bioware and Bethesda....

[RustyNails]

I'd buy it

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[AgentChris]

Gun Loco, Mind Jack and unannounced title. LOL
Square Enix was smart to pick up Edios.
Portable titles and Tomb Raider reboot are the only stuff I'm looking forward to from SE.

[MoogPaul]

Secret of Evermore 2. Believe.

I really really want to!

[Fimbulvetr]

It's obvious they have a man crush on Bioware and Bethesda....

Wha?

Tweet from Square Enix NA executive producer Dave Hoffman

Working on two new things. Well, one is 'sort of' new. Announcements should be coming soon! Wish I could say more but can't

His LI profile

- Structured and lead an entire new Business Development department resulting in IP acquisitions, M&A executed purchases and five development agreements.

Square Enix NA seems to be working on three new projects with NA developers (with Supreme Commander 2 and Dungeon Siege 3 already released).

[Emitan]

Can't wait for them to fax their source code in to Square.

[androvsky]

"'Sort of' new"?

Hoping for an HD port of something nice.

[Kagari]

Square-Enix USA is now a publishing only arm of the company.

[Neuromancer]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That is a fantastic movie and one I believe would lend itself well to a Telltale style adventure video game adaptation.

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

That is a fantastic movie and one I believe would lend itself well to a Telltale style adventure video game adaptation.

I'd pay top price. Up Virgil, up!

[butsomuch]

One of three unannounced projects might be Double Fine's new title because Dave is following Zack Karlsson, Vice President of Business Development at Double Fine Productions.

[jooey]

double helix should TOTALLY make chrono break

[inky]

Is there anything prohibiting them to do another one of those projects with Obsidian again?
I was under the impression that Dungeon Siege didn't do too hot, but still...

[Kagari]

Chrono Break will not be as good as we want. I don't think they're ever going to make it.

[SuperSonic1305]

It's obviously teaming up with Sony Santa Monica on the FF7 remake.
