This is probably not as big a brainwave as I think it is, but an 8 core processor surely makes PS3 BC more likely. One (or two) cores can pretend to be the PPU, and the other six could take on the jobs of the SPUs. Right? There'd still be some work required to handle the switch from Nvidia graphics to AMD graphics, but we know that can be achieved at least partially (from the Xbox to Xbox 360 transition).
8 cores makes me much more optimistic that this thing could handle cell code. Any technical wizards care to chip in on that?

Poster who has posted no leaks before: It might be exclusive, kind of.

GAF needs "verified insider" tags or something.

I already said this on the other page but how does that make sense in light of the following:
The amount of money for them to switch to next gen development when they finally have a stable engine for both the 360 and PS3 would be ludicrous. I can't envision Square Enix deciding to not only commit a substantial amount of capital to rebuilding the game but also releasing it to a much smaller userbase.
Doesn't make any sense.
Also before GAF goes all nuts you really think a poster with no previous information on anything related to these systems all of a sudden has a megaton like that?
Use your thinking caps people.
Yeah maybe one of the big ones is paying to publish the game, who knows (if I had to guess, I would guess Sony, at least its the one that would make more sense considering target audience, etc... but you never know really). But yeah, I am skeptical of this next gen turn, I've always supported the idea that Versus will be a late gen PS3 game, and I will stick with my prediction but I would love to be proven wrong. Lets see. Exciting times ahead.
Bruce is correct. This exactly how I see things. Doesnt make any sense. Why sacrifice all that userbade for better overall performance, specially with a game far into develoment like Versus? Nah.

i dont see versus13 lauching on ps3 in 2014.....
And you can say this with what confidence/sources on your side? His info sounds perfectly legitimate based on what we have been seeing with Versus.
Nomura not being able to talk about it due to "things unrelated" and everyone else suddenly "forgetting" they worked on the game, what's happening with it, etc.
That's codewords for next-gen dev, man.
EDIT: To answer your question, Bruce, crystal tools being used for Versus means all the assets were originally created in super high res/poly count and then scaled down for current gen systems. I think that's why it already looked so amazing.
Now it can run in its true glory without being downgraded.
It is supposed to be x4. Semantic related issue.
Luminous Engine isn't exactly done yet either.
Why not? Do we have to mention XII again and again? Makes perfect sense, it will probably be their 2014 big title with XIV and LR being the ones for this year. Also it is the only way to meet the sales expectations that Square probably have set for the game. Making it a launch title is sending it to die.

I wonder what GG is working on ?
I hope it's something completely different than an FPS.
A racing game or RPG would be nice.

I don't see Versus XIII releasing at all

He technically didn't say it's exclusive. He said "exclusive. Sort of." Possibly a moneyhatted time-based exclusive.

can someone answer these two posts plz. 2nd one was directed towards thuway the parrot, regarding the vertex and triangle draw speeds.
Or a Japanese exclusive. Either way not much there we didn't already know besides the speculation.
People stop this shit. Versus XIII is not coming out on PS4. As much as my delusions would make me want this. You might get a upres'd port, but that is it. To suggest Versus XIII has become a native Durango and Orbis title is absolutely hilarious.

so you guys think the game has been canned?
I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that they were working on an RPG, it was probably a rumor or something, but yeah, it would definitely be interesting to see how they handle other kind of game.
Yup. I've given up on the game. It's Agent tier to me.

Could they just release it on ps4/ps3/360?
That's a "sort of" exclusive for ps4.

now that's what i call bullshit. The money they make off of merchandise in japan alone would make it profitable.
It also makes complete sense from a development standpoint. This generation was all about XIII/lighting, next gen can be all about the new protagonist in XV or w/e it'll be called. Spend a lot of time on new assets, then reuse them for XV-2 and XV(subtitle here).
It really wouldn't, compared to at they will probably get releasing it this gen.
Pretty much this, there's no time. XIII-3 is late (?) this year and beyond that its next gen.
By next gen I don't mean they will start building the game from the ground up for new hardware, just that it will release on the new system(s).
Just by being on new hardware the game will get a certain boost in visual quality and launching it early in the generation will have SE start off the new gen on a good note, instead of having people bitch and moan for 2-3 years waiting for XV.
Having Versus on new hardware also leaves the door open for sequels ala XIII-2 etc.
Honestly, no it isn't. Not at all. Makes perfect sense, actually.

I have asked my sources and all of them are laughing at me. The reality is, the bridge with Sony and Square Enix is a shadow of itself. I know of only one third party Sony is working with, and that is Ready at Dawn? Square Enix? No. That bridge died and was burnt to the ground.
Nah, the jaguar cores are weak sauce. They might be able to all together emulate the PPE, and maybe the CU unit could emulate the SPEs - they are much more similar than a standard CPU. Not sure if 4 CUs could manage to be 6SPEs though

Thinks mods influence posters politics. Promoted to QAnon Editor.
A port is native. Typically models and textures are all done in a format that is higher than the console can actually run. Not to mention launch games are typically just higher res last gen games. I know nothing about Versus, and don't care. But it is not impossible or even very expensive from a technical level. They also could have had dev kits for a year now.

Well, it's apparently a "fantasy" game.
My point is, Versus XIII Was designed from ground up with PS3 in mind. Not Orbis/Durango. Fanboy delusions are making you all hot for nothing.
You asked them all in the last 5 minutes?
This has got to be some sort of performance art.

Not saying that I don't believe you but this statement is starting to become bullshit. It's just a blanket statement that can be used as a vehicle to say whatever shit you want and it's been thrown around here way too often lately.(Not directed towards you thuway. Just in general) Next you got people giving "rumors" out like candy and then other people coming in calling bullshit and no one is clarifying anything. I'll be so happy when these consoles get unveiled so we can stop this crazy ass circus. As for your sources, you say they are laughing but are any of them involved with Sony or SE in some way? You don't have to answer but some indication would be helpful.
lol.

pretty sure they added the luminous lighting system to versus13, and that was a long time ago
Agreed, I already posted this but ill say it again. Using crystal tools and luminous for Versus allowed them to render all of the games assets in a very high fidelity and then downgrade them for current systems. I remember this was even stated in an interview about development but id have to pull it up.
Anyway, flipping the switch to enable the high level assets in their native res would be painless for development. The game would simply run as it was meant to look originally.

and twilight princess was designed with the gc in mind and it released on the wii with functional motion controls. Games switch engines too. And I like how quickly your "contacts" respond to laugh at you. It's like they have nothing to do but answer your questions.
Source?
Also:
How would they implement something not even finished yet? Doesnt make sense to me.
To be fair if he is close to his source, it takes like less than a minute to send a message to someone and get a reply.
