Fantastic. What an incredible looking beard. Now make a decent game already

NukaCola4103d ago

Yup, Square has no issues with visual phenomenons, but they have done poorly in the "gameplay/story/everythin g-else" department. I miss Squaresoft :'(

Square Enix: "we can make cow sh*t look beautiful, but in the end its still cow sh*t and plays like cow sh*t"

Shit off S-E/ You'll get no love from me until Versus gets what it deserves. Thank you for doing the exact opposite of your fans desires.

I hope Square uses this technology to create an amazing Final Fantasy XV for next gen.

What's the point of showing off the game engine when they are going to keep it in-house only?

BTW, videos like this have been around nearly since they first showcased the demo.

Godmars2904103d ago

What's the point when they've already said they're not doing any big in-house projects you mean.

If they're keeping the engine in-house that means they'll be hiring outside teams who wont be familiar with it.

ZoyosJD4103d ago

You missed the point.

Not currently, but they will be using it in-house only. They have stated this.

So, again: Why show off the capabilities of the engine when they are not going to make it available to any other developers?

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

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

solideagle13d ago

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

Chocoburger13d 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.

carrotcakeag13d 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.

Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.

jznrpg17d ago

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