Youichi Wada, the Square-Enix president, has hinted recently in an interview that the next generation of Final Fantasy games may no longer be single-console affairs.

Traditionally, Square had limited its support to the early Nintendo consoles, and more recently both PlayStation consoles, but they are already visably moving across the board. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles was released on the Nintendo GameCube, and with a sequel planned to be released on the Nintendo Revolution. A new release of Final Fantasy XI has been announced for the X-Box 360, and there will be as yet unnamed arrivals on the PlayStation 3.

In the future, it seems, we can expect more than just different releases on different consoles; it seems certain that Square will capitalise on the popularity of Final Fantasy and release their titles in a multi-platform, movie-licence-esque fashion.

Game Sage remains cynical about such a transition. Some Final Fantasy games which have been ported in the past have left a lot to be desired. On the other hand, this will open doors to those who cannot afford to buy each next generation console.

We shall have to wait and see!

Capcom have asked gaming web sites and magazines to avoid and stop using the Resident Evil 5 movie clips that were recently shown. They had intended for this trailer to remain unrecorded, and for the official release of the video to follow at a later date.

Those who have already seen the images are very lucky; the new Resident Evil games sure do look exciting!

IGN.com have released some great game art from the highly anticipated Hironobu Sakaguchi game. They all look very exciting; highly quirky - which we here at Game Sage believe is a great thing! It’s not entirely Final Fantasy like, though there are definitely some major similarities.

Anyway, check out the above page at IGN to see these exciting images!

Game Sage is now open to the public, after several months work to get it out there! Game Sage will be providing the very latest video game news on a daily basis, and in the future there will also be a forum for our readers to enjoy.

In the meantime, any links from other web sites would be hugely appreciated!
