Takumi - what happened to them?

Post by Terramax »

I really likes me Gigawing and Mars Matrix so I was bummed to see that the pretty awful Gigawing Generations (awful when compared to the previous entries at least) would be the last shmup, if not last game period the company ever made.

Can anyone confirm if Takumi are still about? I tried checking them up on the internet but kept getting some other computer technology co. googled.

If they were out on their luck, it is a real shame that it had to end in Generations.

Unless you have played the Type X version of GWG on a tri-sync vertical monitor, I'd say you are most incorrect in your statement. Its the PS2 port that is shit.

Yeah, fair enough, it's the PS2 version that I've played and disliked. But is the gameplay on the arcade version really that much better?

I would love if Takumi were still around.
Imagine them releasing games these days as a strong competition for Cave....

Their old site is gone. They were making Wii/DS crap for Hudson for a while, but the last of that I could find was 06-08.

Takumi? They went to join a racing team to conquer the Kanto region of Japan.

It'd interesting to know what happened to the main developers. The personnel have to be more important than the company.

^ Exactly. They must be somewhere. That said, you could argue that it's the team, not the individuals...
