Only thing I'm interested in from SE currently is Versus. Fuck Lightning. I'm so tired of that universe and character. I would say Kingdom Hearts anything, but who's to say when we will get another game from them.
That would make sense.
Far more likely:
- Versus stays PS3 exclusive and is released in late 2014 (after PS4)
- Agni's is announced PS4 exclusive, then moved to 720 as well. PC gets a Facebook companion game
You should note that he came in from the Eidos side.
Maybe they can save some money by putting their CG assets in an actual game. Square basically has an in house CG studio.Hell yes. Can't wait to see what the can do on actual next gen hardware.
I wouldn't be surprised but I don't use that logic. I mean they can barely get their shit straight on finishing it for one console, they're gonna start trying to optimize it for another as well? I mean I wouldn't be surprised if they did but I wouldn't be surprised if it stayed exclusive. Or at least a timed one.Versus XIII (soon to be XV) will be PS3 exclusive ... in Japan. I have to imagine at some point during this game's tumultuous development cycle they ported over their tools to 360, and PC.

There is literally no reason for Versus to stay exclusive at this point. But anyway can't wait to see Agni's Philosophy game or whatever. Hopefully Toriyama has nothing to do with it. Hopefully a lot of people from Square Japan have nothing to do with it.

Yeah, no way the game could sell 5 million on the ps3's pitiful user base.
I'm sure as shit glad an Eidos guy is in charge
I imagine Versus is Orbis exclusive at this point.
That would make sense.

they do have something more than decent in the works. It's called Versus!Meeeeehhhhhh. Speaking as a former FF fan, call me when they actually have a decent game in the works. I expect to be let down even from a tech perspective as the preproduction stuff from XIII was much better looking than what we actually got ingame. It seemed like every time I saw ingame shots of XIII prerelease, Lightning looked more and more poly starved :l FF needs a serious reworking cause if what they have in store are just more linear jaunts down ever prettier corridors you can count me out
No kidding. That game was focus tested to death... I'm sure LR will be too. Actually, I'm sure they will after that godawful Lightning survey they just had on their site.
It probably could, but unless the port job is a significant challenge there seems to be no reason to keep it exclusive. Probably why 13 was able to sell so much
You're probably right. But maybe Eidos can knock some sense into them.As for PC? LOL. Wii U will see Versus sooner than that platform.

The only reason to port is if the expected revenue from the port outweigh the costs of creating and distributing the new versio
I think people are underestimating the massive shift of philosophy going on at S-E right now. S-E Japan is growing closer and closer to their occidental counterpart, and this will most likely be shown with things like PC versions of Japan-developped games.
Would be cool if Final Fantasy 15 were unveiled at E3 next year, using their next generation engine.
I disagree. SE have pushed the game's release to the point it can't come out while it's target platform is viable. The only reason to do that is if you don't intend to release it on that platform. Moving it to next-gen is stupid if you intend to turn a profit, unless you have been financially incentivized by a first party.That would make even less sense....
Next gen projects, sure. I'm talking about Versus. If that game isn't even showing up on other consoles, forget about the PC.

What went wrong with FF13-2? I never played it.
FFD : Très bien, alors forcément jai parlé de Final Fantasy Versus XIII, et maintenant parlons de Lightning Returns : FF XIII. On a été plutôt stupéfait car on aura le droit à un troisième épisode centré sur ce personnage de Lightning qui est assez adulé par les fans, un personnage très charismatique. Est-ce que ce projet reprend un certain prototype de FINAL FANTASY VERSUS XIII en termes de développement de technologies ?

Until I see something that would indicate otherwise, Agni's Philosophy is just more of Square Enix dabbling in CGI movie making.
Albeit very pretty CGI movie making.
Show me gameplay, something that isn't a mere tech demo and some actual concrete progress and I'll believe this isn't just another Last Guardian money sink.
SE needs to cut this focus group pandering shit out. There is no such thing as "right focus groups". It's destroying the franchise.
I'm expecting something along the lines of Resident Evil 6's QTE-riddled mess.
We all loved RE6 right, guys?
Wasn't Agni's Philosophy running on some ridiculous PC hardware? Even with optimization it would have to be seriously toned down for consoles, unless they're far more powerful than rumors suggest.
Can you name a single game that sold in the multi-millions more than a year after that console was replaced?Yeah, I mean let release it for a console we don't even know will succeed. It's not like everyone is going to throw their PS3 out of the window when the PS4 will be out...
That bit of vaporware? I lumped that in with TLG when I closed the door on my hopes and dreams man :/they do have something more than decent in the works. It's called Versus!
13-2 basically took all the user complaints about XIII and made a game without any sort of depth/heart. It's really a shell of a game that left no desire in me to ever visit it again.
It wasn't really ridiculous. Just a single GPU. Basically a normal (though high-end) gaming PC.Wasn't Agni's Philosophy running on some ridiculous PC hardware? Even with optimization it would have to be seriously toned down for consoles, unless they're far more powerful than rumors suggest.

Truth be told. I think I just grew up. I'm not a teenager anymore. If I'm gonna spend 60+ hours on a game whose chief draw is its plot, I demand more than the usual convoluted anime-esque plot with PG13 fanfic ready romance shoehorned in to ensure that SE ensnares both genders. At this point, I'm mostly in it for the usually stellar artwork and oftentimes memorable score. Nobody builds worlds quite like Square and it's something that I still appreciate even if the last game I enjoyed was IX.
If VS. represents a major fundamental shift in mechanics then color me surprised. Because for a series that's run for about two decades now, it's quite short on innovative mechanics and has run quite a staid course.
