Xbox 2 In Motion
Someone who's seen an Xbox 2 game describes the wonder.
by Anoop Gantayat

March 1, 2005 - Final Fantasy father Hironobu Sakaguchi made a surprise
announcement last week that his new development studio, Mistwalker,
would be working with Microsoft on the development of two RPGs for the
next-generation Xbox. Upon hearing the news, we immediately started
imagining what we could expect from the new titles.

One individual far more privileged than team IGN Xbox was able to do
more than just imagine. Sakaguchi gave Hirokazu Hamamura, president of
Famitsu publisher Enterbrain and one of the most respected names in the
Japanese videogame scene, a private first look at a video of the game
in motion.

During a speech given at the Asia Online Game Conference 2005, Hamamura
had this to say about the experience: "It's such a realistic video that
with just one look you'll know that you're looking at a next-generation
system. It's something that cannot be realized on today's machines."

Going into more details, Hamamura offered an example of what's possible
on the next generation Xbox: "It's possible to show a camera outside
the Earth's atmosphere approach a forest on the Earth's surface, then
show leaves on a tree one at a time." Hamamura wasn't clear on if he'd
seen this specifically in the Mistwalker footage, or if he was just
giving an example of his own.

Regardless, this is an exciting view of things to come. Hopefully,
we'll get to see what impressed Hamamura so much as Microsoft gets set
to unveil the Xbox successor.

Oh here and there. Mostly not much to post about, though I do read most of
everything. Glad work is going good for ya.

Maybe I should get a LJ account, are the juggalos still holding your
attention? heh They've been pretty dull on usenet.

My name is Maggie Lawson, and I am very enthusiastic to join the Internet of Think study program at STIKOM University. I am very interested in the world of technology and how software can help solve real world problems.

Since young, I have had a passion for programming. I started learning my first programming language at the age of 18, and since then, I have never stopped learning and developing my skills. I've worked on several small projects and worked on several applications https://ateliersansfrontieres.org/, which helped me understand the software development process from start to finish.

I am very interested in learning concepts like web development, mobile app development and database management. I also believe that collaboration is the key to creating great software, and I am passionate about working in teams to tackle complex challenges.

While at university, I hope to deepen my understanding of various programming languages, software development methodologies, and also understand how to solve problems in software development effectively. In addition, I plan to engage in group projects and practicums to gain deeper practical experience.

Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring side projects, learning about the latest trends in the tech industry, and participating in developer communities. I also believe that continuous learning is the key to staying relevant in the rapidly changing world of technology.

I really enjoyed meeting my classmates, lecturers and professionals in the software industry. Let's explore this exciting world together and collaborate to create innovative solutions.
