Metagamers.com - Gamers Evolved   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) Yoshiki Okamoto, CEO of Game Republic, has let the cat out of the bag: his studio is currently working on an unannounced Xbox 360 game. Okamoto dropped the news yesterday on his blog, where the former Capcom managing director said "The Xbox 360 project that we're working on now hasn't been announced yet, but I think it's safe to say that this game is well worth looking forward to." Okamoto is one of Japan's most highly tracked developers - before starting his own company in 2003, he was at Capcom for 20 years, and his track record includes work on franchises such as Resident Evil and Street Fighter. www.metagamers.com /?view=news&id=254   (201 words)

Yoshiki Okamoto Leaves Capcom Okamoto has been with the company since 1983 and is well-known for producing and directing such games as Street Fighter II and the Resident Evil series. Apparently, Okamoto's main reason for leaving Capcom stems from differences in opinion as to where the company is headed, and certain restrictions of becoming an executive. Okamoto is searching for a president of his unnamed company, since he would rather serve as the COO (chief operating officer). www.psxextreme.com /scripts/news2/pnew.asp?newID=1987   (258 words)

Yoshiki Okamoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nonetheless, Street Fighter and its infinitely more successful sequel Street Fighter II (in fact the first incarnation is largely forgotten) elevated graphics and gameplay to become a world wide phenomenon and essentially establish the fighting game genre as an institution within the industry. Okamoto continued to develop video games for Capcom through Flagship, including Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan). Okamoto also developed a typical party game called Every Party, which was a launch title for the Xbox 360 in Japan. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Yoshiki_Okamoto   (383 words)

Gamasutra - Okamoto Hints At 'Surprise' Japanese Xbox 2 Support Ex-Capcom producer Yoshiki Okamoto, who has already agreed to create a number of Xbox 2 exclusive titles, has suggested that a number of other Japanese developers have also, or are about to, sign-up for development on Microsoft’s next generation console. If Okamoto’s hints of “a powerful fleet of Japanese designers” is correct then this will be a considerable boost to the format not only in terms of the variety of games available worldwide but also in terms of sales in Japan — where the current console has failed to become a significant force. Okamoto also revealed that he already has games in playable form, suggesting that official announcements and unveilings can be expected at E3 in May. However, Microsoft may wait to reveal the full breadth of its Japanese support until the Tokyo Game Show this autumn. www.gamasutra.com /e32006/news.php?story=5243   (330 words)

Get Into The Game - The Latest News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20) At the Xbox Summit 2005, Game Republic president and former Capcom executive Yoshiki Okamoto announced Every Party, a party game for the Xbox 360. Okamoto then presented a game label that mocked CERO's (the Japanese equivalent of the ESRB) icon for violent games, except that it was altered to read "no violence, no gore." The prank pleased the crowd, which was already entertained by Okamoto's jovial appearance. Every Party's graphics didn't seem to take full advantage of the Xbox 360's hardware, though as Okamoto has stated in his past interviews, he decided to release it on Microsoft's next-generation console because of its network gaming capabilities. www.getintothegame.com /pages/news/story.php?id=6129725   (502 words)

Formerly a graphic designer, rookie employee Okamoto was told by Konami to come up with a driving game, a 'safe,' more pedestrian choice than what he wanted to make.
