Hopefully saving Versus for TGS. If they are not just 'hiding' it for E3

I would love to see it, I really would. But at this point I honestly believe we'll see new consoles before we see that game.

To anyone that just reads this knob-jockeys comment then decides to believe him and/or not read the article themself; they actually have a good lineup, there are just a bunch of butthurt nerds angry that their beloved Final Fantasy Versus XIII is not showing itself.

MrWonderful4346d ago

It's been far to long on versus and they wanted to keep quiet. It will probably be there as a surprise announcement

Square Enix are a joke of a company. First rule of business, keep your customers happy. I mean why waste all your resource on such crap like IOS and Android? its a fact that 70% of appas and games are no longer used after 3 days.

tweex4346d ago

I can't comment on whether that stat is right or not so I'll take your word for it.

However, even if the player stops playing after 3 days, they've already purchased it and SE makes money from it. I'm not saying I agree with the practice, but it is a way to generate income with a much lower initial investment.

jamstorr864346d ago

The stat is right :)

A lot of apps will try and make money through advertsising or from buying through additional content. I rarely buy a game on android, but I am likely to buy conetent once ive invested time in a free app.

the point im making is that they will potentialy make a much larger profit from a top console game than a mobile phone application. they are clearly not listening to their customer base, evident through their reluctance to remake ff7 or produc a game that we actually want.

Quare Enix are too busy trying to tell us what we want to play. It doesn't work like that. they are possibly the biggest let down of this generation.

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.

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