Fabula Nova Crystallis TGS trailers now available

Scrawl: "The promotional videos for Final Fantasy XIII International, Final Fantasy Agito XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII have finally hit the net. It’s the same footage shown back at the Tokyo Game Show only this time in direct-feed quality. Only catch is you’ve got to be registered with Japan’s Square-Enix Members program. Registration isn’t too hard, though, if you follow a translator."

Ok loading it now i cant wait

Old_Boss5713d ago

AWESOME the leaked one FAILS in Comparison

Nate-Dog5713d ago

Not really, the leaked one(s) showed the exact same footage apart from the XIII stuff, and the quality wasn't even that bad considering it took no strain to make out everything.

UltraNova5713d ago

Versus looks phenomenal, but so did 13...

gaffyh5713d ago

Wow, Versus looks a lot better than XIII, it's just so much sharper. Basically looks like more mature version of KH which is great.

RedDead5713d ago (Edited 5713d ago )

Leaked graphics fail...Why the helll didn't S-e just show us???
This is much more impressive

EDIT---I can see they shortened his hair a bit, Nomura said he was a year or so ago anyway

vsr5713d ago

Interconnectivity between FF13, FFv13, FFa13 will be appreciated. These 2 titles have a chance to reclaim the RPG fever

Game-ur5713d ago

Agito looks solid and better than I expected, hope it comes out first, because I want VS to be my coup de grace.

Millah5713d ago

I'll hold my breath. Because XIII turned out to be completely different than expected when it released in Japan.

I'd love to be pleasantly surprised though. I just don't want to be let down yet again.

I will say though that, yes I'm glad they're bringing back a world map, however I was hoping for something more like a traditional JRPG, or at least like Dragon Quest 8. I don't want a Fallout or Oblivion style world map. It looked like a lot of open space in that trailer, and its not particularly fun walking around on empty land for hours at a time. Hopefully they have something in mind, because old JRPGs used things like vehicles and airships to deal with that problem.

The trailer is promoting FFXIII on 360 in Japan.

lol @ disagree.

RedDead5713d ago

The first part was, otherwise why would they show FFXIII. This trailer is mostly sony's though.

40cal5713d ago

I am still excited to see blood gushing out in VS XIII, I will be picking up Agito and VS asap.

Stunt5713d ago

The link's been updated. You can check it out now.

JewelTheif5713d ago

Holy shit. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Kurisu5713d ago

Thanks, it was taking forever to load on the official site!

FiftyFourPointTwo5713d ago (Edited 5713d ago )

HOLY **** GRAPHICS! at 0:50 look at the fence behind Noctis! It looks so real! and thats not even in HD!!!!! O_O

+bubbles to Kain for being helpful.

Triella5713d ago

Clam down that's CGI of course it will look very good.

Edit : oh ! SE already blocked the video.

Michael-Jackson5713d ago

That's the best looking CGI I've seen so far.

maxcer5713d ago

lol i love it when people flip out when they think CGI is realtime gamplay.

Otheros005713d ago (Edited 5713d ago )

That's not cgi. Take a look at his hair.
compare to this: http://www.fromheroestoicon...

Eamon5713d ago

lol come on kids!

It's blatantly CGI. It's real-time after the fence scene though.

Gue15713d ago

Wow, I never thought people could be this delusional. I mean, we been 5 years into this gen and some people are still confusing CGI with real-time like if the hardware of current gen console could magically render images as realistic and detailed as CGI.

@Otheros00 about that pic you say "look at the hair", remember that the video is low quality and it's obvious that the hair will not look as detailed as on that pic due to the artifacts and noise. But if you take a look at his skin you'll note that in the video Noctis looks more realistic while on your pic looks like plastic (that's because that pic is from a really old trailer when Noctis had less detail). Another thing that pretty much confirms that this(0:50) is CGI are the soft-shadows and lighting source.... I mean, a current gen game with that many soft-shadows and lighting sources (oh and don't forget about the insanely high res textures)? Square must be a miracle worker then, because these effects are superior to anything I have seen on PC from Dirt to Crysis at max settings with the latest directX!

Why do you think Gran Turismo 5 has lots of jaggies on the shadows when you're in the cockpit view? Because soft-shadows and on top of that dynamic? That takes a hell of a lot of resource from current gen hardware and for that PD made compromises like for example the 2D trees. But now we go back to the FFvsXIII trailer and on top of animations, high res textures everywhere we have soft-shadows and lighting sources literally everywhere too and that's just impossible.

Eamon5713d ago

damn, can someone re-upload it. Square is quick in removing shit.

hot4play5713d ago

Thanks for the links guys! :)

bustamove5713d ago

._. Square took the video down.

Dammit.

INehalemEXI5713d ago (Edited 5713d ago )

I got to see this. Dang that was short what a tease. I didn't know Versus has blood. That made me want Agito more, looks good.

Kurisu5713d ago (Edited 5713d ago )

Versus is a "Fantasy based on reality". Reality has blood :D I think it's the first FF ever to have blood isn't it?

EDIT @ Demonstalker:

Ahh, yea, that little dribble that fell from his face after he'd been swiped xD

INehalemEXI5713d ago (Edited 5713d ago )

There was blood when Squall got his scar but ingame I can't remember any in any FF.

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.

raWfodog388d ago (Edited 388d 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.

NettosGameRoom387d ago

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

Relientk77387d ago

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

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

DivineHand125522d 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.

Z501521d 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)

TheNamelessOne522d ago

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

Michiel1989521d 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.

Cacabunga521d ago

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

Michiel1989521d ago

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

Cacabunga521d ago (Edited 521d 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.

CrimsonWing69522d 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.

Becuzisaid521d 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.

CrimsonWing69521d 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.

gurp522d 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
