1UP - E3 2012: A Lack of In-House Games at E3 Isn't Square Enix's Only Problem

1UP: "What we're likely to see from Square Enix at this year's E3.

versusALL4340d ago

I expect a TON of news on Versus XIII by the end of this year or I'll lose hope on the game ever being release.

jc485734340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

that's a problem I think. It's not receiving any exposure over here if they simply show it at TGS. This applies to almost any Japanese company. They're not making enough decent games.

ATi_Elite4340d ago

The fact that most square enix games suck is Square Enix problem.

Yangus4340d ago

TGS=Versus.

E3"shooter/action"c onference....
TGS=JRPG's and other japan games i like...

oli4340d ago

You pretty much said it, E3 is nothing but a shooter/action and casual game conference. Every year japanese developers have less envolvement in E3.

As long as they make money that's fine with me so they can carry on funding their all their games. I just think those games were not ready to show and thats the main problem. They take too damn long to develop

I know Japanese games are a dying breed in E3 but FFX HD, FFXIV, FFXIII Vs and Type-0 are games that SE or Sony will would have shown if they could at their conference or booth.

Type-0 would have been the perfect game to announce for the Vita but who even knows what's happening with that game or all of their games.

TheLyonKing4340d ago

Type 0 western port
Versus news - alot of it please
Kh 3 - snippit would be nice

TGS save me from the average E3 conferences.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle12d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger12d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag12d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

jznrpg16d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
