At this year's Xbox summit, Game Republic president and former Capcom executive Yoshiki Okamoto announced 'Every Party', a new party game in development for Microsoft's upcoming Xbox 360 console.As you can guess from the title, Every Party is a party game for everybody. Up until now, I was probably known for games that involved punching, kicking, slashing, shooting, and killing. But this is going to be a party game intended for all ages, so there will be no violence or grotesque scenes.
Every Party will play like a board game with 3D graphics. Players spin a roulette-like wheel that advances them across the board. The animation is being done by Sakura Momoko, better known for the popular Chibimaruko-Chan anime series.Although Every Party purportedly does not take full advantage of Xbox 360's hardware capabilities (graphics are nothing to write home about), Okamoto explained that he decided to release it on Microsoft's next-gen console because of it's 'network gaming capabilities'.
I was asked by people as to why I'm making a party game for a next-generation machine, and whether it really needs the specs of next-generation hardware. But that's not what games are all about. Even nowadays, people play old-time games such as Famicoms. Games are, simply, supposed to be fun.
You should be able to enjoy as much as you can within your free time, which is what games are all about. As some people may know, I love board games and party games. I love having a blast with other people. But it's rare for people like me to gather together. The Xbox 360 will allow anyone to enjoy playing with each other at any time, any place.
