E3 2015: What Can Gamers Expect from Square Enix?

With E3 looming over the horizon, it's time to start making bets and formulating wishlists for the biggest week in the gaming year. With a whopping eight press conferences to look forward to, gamers' time is certainly limited for individual publishers. With equally-limited time for Square Enix, what can we expect from them, come June 14th?

FF15
Kingdom Hearts 3
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Jause Cause 3

I doubt all of this will be shown espicially since RofTR is MS marketing.

Just Cause 3 is at the top of my list because of 3 words.

Physics based destruction

My Kingdom for a Chrono Trigger successor on Wii U or 3DS.XD

Seriously, though: I'm looking forward to seeing more of KHIII and FFXV. I'm a little sad that I won't see KH3 on Wii U, but I'll live with it.
I'd be over the moon for a new Secret of Mana game...

All I need from Sony is freeing up the online multiplayer, a price drop, and, optionally, a new SKU that will include native BC.
If the first two are met, at least, I'll save up for a PS4 just to playFFXV and KH III, getting more as time goes on.

As for Nintendo, I want a Summer release date for XCX, and more details for Devil's Third and Fast Racing Neo. Anything beyond that will just be welcome surprises.

Wii U can't handle KH3... Perhaps they'll get an NX release a year later though?

I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty stoked for NX... I lost my Wii U in storage and am not buying another...

I totally see NX being Nintendo throwback with all of their games able to run at 1080p with dazzling effects that'll carry them to their next console.

I'll be connecting via component because Ninty graphics are too bright and component increases shadows/blacks and decreases brightness a bit at a slight loss in crispness(the HDR kinda makes up for it by making the images crisp in their own way though). Along with darker settings on TV...

How did I get to this point I'm wayy off topic... Anyway, word to the wise... Use component on Ninty products as it turns full blown bloom into sexy contrast HDR.

Oh yeah and S-E are really making nex-gen happen IMO... They have so many awesome titles they're definitely in the league of the big 3 and that's awesome... If it weren't widely known they were a software company they could release their own console and theyed still seem legit.

The graphics in KH III are such that the Wii U could handle them if it were optimised well enough, but I don't wanna turn this into an argument so I'll just drop that subject.

As for NX, we have no info other than "it won't be talked about until 2016", and given the 5 year cycle, you've got quite a wait to go. (as does Slightly Mad Studios)
I'd honestly just dig out your Wii U at some point, if you really want to play a lot of good Nintendo games, rather than waiting for an NX, but that's your prerogative to decide.

Just Cause 3 and a Sleeping Dogs sequel is all I care about from them. A new Chrono Trigger would be welcomed though.

It would be nice if they had the lottery in other parts of the world as well.

CrimsonWing6911d ago

I’m hoping Xbox Showcase will be where the Remake gets announced… freaking all this stuff with FF9’s anniversary and still nothing on the Remake…

If Capcom managed to turn things around, I’m hoping that Square can too!

Why do we think this is coming out on Switch 2 before Xbox? Any thoughts? The S2 is not more powerful than the Series S so it’s not a ‘lack of power’ issue. Perhaps the sales forecast is higher on S2 than Xbox so that’s maybe where their priority lies?

jznrpg43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

It’s definitely a sales issue. If Xbox didn’t have players used to GamePass I bet it would be there already.

andy8543d ago

The fact people will buy it. Xbox gamers generally have minimal interest in this series. Portable Final Fantasy will go down a storm in Japan where the switch sells huge numbers

repsahj42d ago

Hamaguchi states not just the remake but the entire FF7 remake series.

repsahj42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

The Switch 2 version is really beautiful. It looked as good as the PS5 version.
