As Director: Resident Evil (PSX/GC) Resident Evil 4 (GC) God Hand (PS2) As Producer: Dino Crisis (PSX) Devil May Cry (PS2) Killer7 (PS2/GC)  Our partnership with SEGA has yielded the unveiling of three original titles; unfortunately, my title isn't quite ready to be revealed to the world yet. We've only been working for two months, and to me, showing something incomplete is an affront to our players. What my team lacks in numbers, we make up for in the sheer amount of fun we are having now. With these great creators, I'm sure we will have something to show you soon that will make you stand up and take notice. I know that having nothing to show was not what everyone wanted to hear, so for now, I must be begging your pardon.
