Day 3 Of "In Their Own Words"
Day 3 and not a bit of food in sight.. We’ve been stranded on this island and can’t seem to find... Oh, wait never mind that’s a different story. It’s day 3 of "In Their Own Words" by Gamespot UK. They have continued with a new thing called "Designer Speak". In this they talked with a couple of different game publishers about their opinions of the Xbox and it’s capabilities. Wanna see a little about what they said??? Okay, here goes!"We’re delighted to bring the proven World Wrestling Federation franchise to Xbox and very happy to work with Microsoft. WWF Raw Is War will absolutely shine on this exciting new platform. The hard drive capabilities, alone, will open up some very interesting options for us to explore." Brian Farrell, president and CEO, THQ
"The Xbox so far has been a dream to develop for. As you can imagine with the mature suite of tools that exist and a large contingency of developers familiar with the PC architecture, we have met with little to no resistance in getting fairly robust things to happen on the screen in a very short time." Michael Rubinelli, THQ’s VP of product development
"I’ve been working with the Xbox now for a few weeks and it’s a cool machine; plenty of power and easy to program for thanks to its DirectX 8 implementation." Andy Taylor, technical director, Legend Entertainment
