DOA Code Cronus: Official For Xbox 360
For the one person who didn't already know...
by Anoop Gantayat
June 1, 2005 - Current generation Xbox owners still holding out for more
Xbox Dead or Alive titles are going to be disappointed. Dead or Alive 4
already saw its Xbox 360 debut at E3, and now Team Ninja Tomonobu Itagaki
has confirmed that DOA code:Cronus is officially an Xbox 360 title.
In explaining why the game's platform was switched, Itagaki first apologizes
to fans (who've made code: Chronus the number one most-wanted current
generation Xbox title in Japan), then reveals that actual development on the
title didn't start until after the new systems started appearing. According
to Itagaki, making the game -- DOA in particular -- on a system with lower
specs would cause quite a bit of stress.
Of course, the game's appearance on Xbox 360 should come as a surprise to no
one, as IGN Xbox has listed the title as a 360 game for quite some time now.
However, the official Tecmo stance on the project, while being unclear prior
to E3, is now set.
