Why would they announce anything versus related when they havent even spewed enough information on the 2 things that are going to come out AT LEAST before it?
We dont really have a date for FF14 (and it could be going multiplat) and we dont have much info on Lightning Returns.
Does SE announcement necessarily even have to coincide with the Xbox reveal (which seems to be more about the hardware than games)?
Its worth buying, the Triple-traid card game was one of the funnest minigames I have ever played.
At the end of the day, its SE. Theres no need for us to get overhyped and excited after their recent run of things (especially that anti-climatic BS are the PS4 show)
@Inception
No im thinking the opposite, if SE release Versus on the next xbox as well, PS fans would be fuming. I would hazard a guess that quite a number of people (me included) bought a PS3 because of dreams of KH3 and FFVS13. Instead we all got a subpar game in FF13.
At the end of the day, I highly doubt they would announce a previously stated PS3 exclusive, unless MS are serious about spending the money.
I still feel its gonna be a FF14 or a Light...
I have a feeling it will be information about lightning returns. I really hope it is then we get Versus info at E3. If its some other bullshit, then its a waste of time for them to even talk.
They need to get their current games in production out before talking about anymore futur titles.
While playing through Tales of Graces f, I couldent help but look at the DLC available and it is quite a putoff when costumes for one character is about $8 I believe.
"[DLC] allows for increased user satisfaction, revenue and slows the flow to the used game market"
"It allows us to release timely content in conjunction with real-world events and holidays."
"DLC can lead to players revisiting games they've already put down. DLC also gives us an opportunity to develop unique collaborative content that we hope will allow users to have fun outside of the main game."
"DLC ...
Just seeing these names reminds me of how shit the characters have been in the recent FF.
Wish I could enjoy Assasins Creed, but the franchise is being milked to hell and just isnt as enticing as it used to be.
Tidus at 3 was wierd to say the least... Sephiroth should be first. One of the greatest super villians ever imo.
That would be step 1.
Step 2 would be to look at how 2k got so much praise for their NBA variation of games.
NBA13 would not even have been in the same league as 2k13.
The worst thing about all this is that it signifies less localisations if the third point is true.
Remember that the article does not state explicitly that they would focus on the smartphone market.
Well given that their strategy is:
1. Overhaul large-scale, long-term development
2. Target smart devices as a game platform.
3. Construct a product portfolio tailored to consumer tastes in respective served regions.
They hit the mark generally, but if they do just primarily focus on the smartphone or the tablet market, then I am done with them.
While the news is pretty shitty, it is interesting to see that they finally see long term ...
I am a sony fanboy, but I cant wait to see what MS will bring to the table. Competition breeds excellence.
Common sense says that if it was dead, they would not be releasing new content.
A full 3d pokemon would definitely be interesting especially with the new features.
My biggest fear is that their E3 reveal will be all about Lightning returns and that it will be playable on PS4.
If we dont get news on Versus, I dunno what Im going to do.
At least they have stated that next gen production times will be cut down (seriously hoping its true because the pace they release games is erring on the pathetic.)
Gimme FFv13 (as FF15) and Kingdom Hearts 3 and Ill be happy. I want that nostalgia back like when I replay their old scool games.
For me its just that the game got so boring. Yes there is no gear progression, but it has been replaced by a visual type of progression. It also doesnt help that a particular dungeon is run countless times while all the others remain relatively dead.
The game just isnt fun and the grind exists, despite what the loyalists will say.
@Sevir
And what about a date for LR or FF14?
I dont understand how all this FFV13 info will come out before they have tried to hype up those 2 other games.
