VG247 Writes:The opening of Square Enix's LA Studio is an effort to catch up in the multi-platform dev raced, the company said today.
"Square Enix as a whole fell behind in multi-platform development", said Square-Enix's Fumi Shiraishi
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
"We've fallen behind in multi-plat development thanks to the 360"
Touching the 360 was the worst thing to happen to Square Enix.
first make a good game
Square Enix
The title should actually say
""We've fallen behind in PS3 development""
They worked at getting the most out of the one system they were on, took different directions in how they did RPGs but that was it until they tried a few PC titles.
No wonder this was falsely reported and deleted.
