Final Fantasy Versus XIII Update

Square Enix hasn't talked about Final Fantasy Versus XIII much, but during a Korean launch event for Final Fantasy XIII, a small tidbit of information on the status of Versus surfaced.

Let's hope Square doesn't screw its fans over and make it multiplatform causing the game to be less than what it could be.

Seems like alot of anger is built up in this room! Hopefully, it turns out well.

RememberThe3575841d ago

Not quite anger. I am loving FF13 and I don't understand what all the hate is about. It could have been better, yes, but it's far from a bad game.

chaosatom5841d ago (Edited 5841d ago )

I agree with you, but I actually want FF13 to look like the CGI or better yet be able produce big EPIC battles like God of War/MGS4/Uncharted kind.

I know that those kinds of things can only be done on the PS3, so I want it to be a exculsive.

Heisenberg5840d ago

The title should be "Still No Final Fantasy Versus XIII Update" . Thanks for wasting my precious time.

silvacrest5841d ago

come on now, fanboyism aside there is a reason why gears 2 (released in 2008) is still the best looking game on the 360

unless your talking about power in it's many different meanings

RedDevils5841d ago

Light Yagami probably mean the power of the 3 red lights lol

DaTruth5841d ago

How is this an update? They didn't tell us anything. This is more like a reminder that it exists and various information everybody following this game already knows.

The crap that people write for hits!

FACTUAL evidence5841d ago

of the same screen shots from like 4 years ago......Lets see some gameplay pics already. FF13v does not have me sold. I'm also expecting this to go MP, so don't be surprised if it does...after the ff13 shocker, this won't be surprising if it does.

I wouldn't mind FFvsXIII going multi if only the X360 had a high capacity media format like the blu-ray. Because it is obvious they are going to cut lots of content due to space limitation to keep the disc count low. This has nothing to do with graphics, that the X360's less capable or whatever. They can always downgrade resolution and other things to make the game playable on either console.

The thing is, what will happen when you're half through the game on the second or third disc of the X360 version? Considering the game will be less linear, on the PS3 will you be able to access early areas and on the X360 not? Or are they going to restrict early areas to make both versions equal even though the PS3 version will be on a single disc just like they did with FFXIII and let the free roaming for the final disc because the X360 couldn't handle it...

Just read why they started development of FFvsXIII exclusively for the PS3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

If Wada make this game multiplat he's gonna ruin it unless they simply forget about making both versions equal. But then one version's going to sell more than the other by a huge margin and the money put toward the second version will be a waste.

knight6265841d ago

The only way FFvsXIII could be in the xbox is if SE take a different route with the Xbox version by making it linear and tell the story that way and for the PS3 keep it open world and not cut nothing out of it

starvinbull5841d ago

On the PS1 Square got around disc storage by taking out towns and villages that were on earlier discs.

This meant that players missed out on things from earlier in the game... it was well sh*t.

fatstarr5841d ago

I don't want to see it at e3 that increases the probability of the game going to Microsoft and thus loosing its soul. I wouldn't even buy it.

MazzingerZ5841d ago (Edited 5841d ago )

C'mon it's not like they are starting development of the game now, in that case the ones getting the "less good" version are X360 owners and they are the only ones entitled to dislike and express their opintion if SE all of the sudden goes multiplatform to squeeze more money from them via en inferior port.

I'm looking forward to Versus due to the different gameplay and more mature story (on the paper) than FF XIII...the PS3 I purchased for MGS4 has payed off already with awesome games and with or without exclusive FF, PS3 is today an awesome investment for anyone, the best games in the last 2 years are there. Many GOTY winners: MGS4, Uncharted 2, LBP, Demon's Souls, Killzone 2. This is an awesome achievement if you ask me, we are not talking about the last 5 years but only the last 2!

then you have other quality games like: God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Resistance, Infamous, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword...too many really

Personally I loved Folklore and SIREN:BC, 2 real gems!

so don't really get it why FF is that important.

ps. Love FF and it's not like I won't have the possibility to play it.

Meryl5841d ago

FF is not as important anymore as it has dropped quality over the years, but if SE finds the magic and makes another great FF, then we are all in for a treat, the last great FF was FFX sadly, and if it goes multiplat then they will have to split resources resulting in another mediocre FF being pumped out

if ffv13 goes multiplat, it will be SE's biggest fail in history

MaideninBlack5841d ago

I thought Final Fantasy XIII already took that crown...

sikbeta5841d ago (Edited 5841d ago )

When it comes to Going Downhill, there is no real Limit, maybe thats' what Wada wants to do...

meganick5841d ago

Versus 13 is going to suck no matter what platform it ends up on.

MadMan005841d ago

WTF are with you pathetic people? Stop jumping on the Wagon...XII/12 sucked was that 360s fault too? No it just sucked cause SE sucks now.

If 12 was on 360 you'd blame 360 too, but it wasn't SE SUCKS NOW!

WLPowell5841d ago

God I hate idiots who don't know what they're talking about, go play a shooter or something.

theunleashed645841d ago (Edited 5841d ago )

hopefully it stays exclusive.

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog383d ago (Edited 383d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom382d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk77382d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

Final Fantasy XV Datamine Reveals Hidden Chapter 14 Scene That Was Cut

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125517d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501517d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne517d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989517d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga517d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989517d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga516d ago (Edited 516d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69517d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid516d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69516d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp517d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion769d ago (Edited 769d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled769d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
