Seems like every SE announcement will be met with, "Where's VersusXIII?"
Regarding Gamescom, I'm actually really excited too see where SE has taken FFXIV with this new "Reborn" label. From what I've seen and read it seems like they're really trying hard to rework what they already had and make it 10x better.
I hate to say it, (and I understand that the Kotaku rumor was supposedly debunked) but I find it really suspicious that they have NOTHING NEW to show us at Gamescon after they decided to finally break the silence and say, "No really...We're uhhh... still working on it..." If there's nothing by the next TGS we can all be pretty certain that Square/Enix was just trying to prevent a drop in market shares and silence some of the haters for a little while longer before they finally admit that they haven't been working on it. Still, I'm curious to see how they're going to try to clean up the FFXIV debacle.
Wow, I'm impressed people still remember the FFvs13 announcement, that was made before the release of Super Mario Bros. right? I'm surprised this generation remembers that.
The moment they just showed a logo of Agent at E3 I knew somthing was wrong. They announced it as being made by the team who makes GTA, yet they are working on GTA5. I think is really complicated for Sony to have a Rockstar exclusive for them. The gaming industry has become greedy and careless about their fans. Developers now care about milking their games with DLC not having the best game to take advantage of one platform.
The same happened with Resident Evil PSP. They only showed a logo and never existed.
Again though. Either SE's FF 13 party or TGS. Those are the rumors, those are hte eh...you know, Japanese times to reveal their japanese game. Expect to see it at them before anything else
Thing is though that any new announcement for Versus will come from Japan, we all know that. Plus don't forget that Versus was never actually officially announced for the West, at least not yet.
What were you expecting. Why would it make an appearance at Gamescom. The most appropriate venue for it is TGS or it's own special event. After all it is being made in Japan. I could understand people questioning it's absence at E3 but it was obvious that it wouldn't be at Gamescom.
But anyway I can't wait for news on FF14. Looking forward to trying it out on the PS3.
I think if FF Versus doesn't come @ TGS then we will just drop it off our radar forever again, until some random DSigma event leaks a gameplay video and the cycle repeats itself.
Honestly, all I want is a release date and I will shut up, because this is a game that has taken my money before even seeing over 10 minutes of gameplay.
Why are people still questioning Versus XIII's validity? Now that Square's two most important games this gen are out of the way, their main focus is now on the game that they have always put aside and the one with the most potential. But don't expect results straight away, patience and the game will prevail.
Alright I'll talk about Just Cause 2 for a little bit...
Bugs here and there? Yes... That is what makes it comedic if you know your way around.
Bad ground vehicle handling and sound effects? Yes... I can live with "accelerate" "decelerate" Then "Accelerate" "decelerate" sounds for gear shifting and the bad handling as I got used to it... I personally prefer motorbikes (except slowpeds...)
Repetitive? Okay it can get repetitive doing the same stuff over and over and over.
Bad gun aiming mechanics? I know its not perfect, but still can live with it.
Crap game? HELL NO! Maybe it did not sell well, don't know about that but all the fun stuff you do as a player being creative and manipulating things that go BOOM compensates you for its flaws. Especially playing with friends.
I find it very sad that this game is underrated... People should give Just Cause 2 a chance.
Hear that, Lilioups? It the "Crap" game is selling pretty well...
@attilayavuzer, Hmm did not think of that good point. Sounds very reasonable given that JC1 came out the previous gen, JC2 this one and JC3 possibly or most likely next gen.
Oh well, either way will have to wait. In the mean time, I will be kicking annoying Panauan forces' butts!
Hopefully hitman will be amazing. I am a long time dedicated fan of the series. I hate that they have a new voice actor but if the game is great it can make up for it. I just think it is funny that the voice actor that the actual character was modeled after isn't his voice anymore.
Sleeping dogs looks good but I might wait for reviews on that one. I am kind of burned out on open world games atm. But love the story and fighting element of that. FYI I wasn't a fan of the true crime series. So I am hesitant.
Eh, I want news of a new The World Ends with You game, plus VsXIII, but I'm a gamer: I've still got so many games to play that it doesn't bother me that much to wait a year. Sure, I WANT it out now, but my gaming tastes are diverse enough that I'm not starving for titles.
Can only hope SE knows what they are doing with 13vs, on a side note FF7 will be there and it looks like they added some small features with it. Believe it or not, I am kind of excited for it, its the original, but with a few mods in place so not all bad.
*Plans Wada assassination*

I think the "where is Versus XIII" questions should die, that game is on its way.
we should now start asking "where is Final Fantasy X HD"?
So the real question is "Where is FF7 remake"?
But anyway I can't wait for news on FF14. Looking forward to trying it out on the PS3.
i saw a ff7 with trophy support?
FF13VS vs. Last Guardian vs. Agent
Which will ship first?

Ok I'm sad now.

I'm assuming the reason we're not hearing about JC3 is because it'll be next gen.

WTF is square doing?
They'll focus on how FFXIV no longer sucks as badly as it used to with the new expansion, but I don't think it's going to do that well for sales...
As much as it pains me to say it, just be patient.
What am I kidding????? FFXIII-3 here we come!
Playstation. It only does b.s.
