FF Versus 13 Multiplatform Rumor: Why Hasn't Anyone Asked Nomura Yet?

We’ve wondered about this since the gaff about this was made a month or so ago. Wada insinuated of the possibility of a multiplatform announcement of Final Fantasy Versus 13, the (for now) PS3 exclusive. People have speculated as to if and when this would be happening (all signs point to E3 as being a good place to make such an announcement, though SE’s E3 lineup reveal doesn’t include Versus). Obviously, we don’t have the “good status” that some of these other sites do (another problem in gaming media), but we can tell them that they should be doing something that they are not. We reported on the mainstream gaming media’s failure to address this rumor, and one particular thing they are not doing makes us very suspicious.

Where in all of this is ANY media outlet calling or e-mailing Tetsuya Nomura and asking him about this?

who really cares?people need to realise 3rd party exclusives are finished..

Dragun6195495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

Yeah, Honestly, Third Party Exclusives are pretty much finished and to replace it, is Time Exclusive DLC.

Even if FFXIII Versus goes Mutliplatform, no one should be surprised, just looking at Square Enix's track record this gen. Heck, this E3, Square Enix's booth is right across from Microsoft's booth.

Hopefully though, it stays a PS3 exclusive.

Redrum0595495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

Unless ofcourse Sony tied down an exclusive right to the game but I know it's probably too late.

The hell with square enix. They aren't wat they used to be.

badz1495495d ago

they might as well make ONE huge booth TOGETHER and we shall see Wada and Greenberg having a great time together!

radphil5495d ago

Tell that to the other games.

mal_tez925495d ago

Everyone (except people who already own all platforms) would benefit.

Lavalamp5495d ago

Wasn't there an article here on the site the other day where Take-Two reaffirmed Agent's exclusivity to the PS3?

RememberThe3575495d ago

People don't like being proved wrong ;)

NastyLeftHook5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

i hope they do not makefinal fantasy versus 13 multiplatform because the playstation 3 is a more powerful system, and the xbox360 cannot support what the ps3 is capable of, yes, we know about the previous final fantasy not meeting our expectations but i certainly believe that it is in fact the 360's software fault. microsoft paid a whole lot of money to make it multi, they cut things out and it was something less than. i honestly think if there going to make a final fantasy for the 360, please make it exclusive so you do not have to downgrade the ps3. just look at uncharted 2, killzone 2, you cannot tell me they cannot master final fantasy once again. peace.

Redrum0595495d ago

+bubbles my friend, I wanted to say the same thing but I'm trying to build up my bubbles since everyone else is at 4-5 bubbles. And of ofcoarse although your comment is full of truth, many ppl will get butthurt and hit the disagrees and -bubbles like there's no tomorrow.

So here's to you...

Shang-Long5495d ago

nothing wrong with what you said, its your opinion. a lot of people agree with you, no no worries for speaking your mind. but it comes down to how greedy Square wants to be. i mean they got extra money for bringing it on both systems and then the extra sells. great good job you got your money. now see what your group can do without worrying about making two equal versions of a game.

but either way i will get this game. its my number one reason i got a ps3. everything until the release of the game will be a bonus.

badz1495495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

will he even answer?? rumors and speculations come out when the officials won't answer!

NastyLeftHook5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

if im lyin im dyin

RememberThe3575495d ago

Real journalists know the rules of the game.

badz1495495d ago

that's a nice thinking too! they just take the shortcuts! rumor and speculate 1st, ask questions 2nd! perfect recipe for hits!

pinkyxyz5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

Just because 3rd party exclusives are done, doesn't mean that people want current exclusive games to become multiplatform. who the hell would want that?

arakouftaian5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

And the only ones that wins when a 3rd party goes multiplat are the xbox
but so far the PS3 have been doind great with their 1 party games.

vhero5495d ago

Because there is no rumour about it going multi platform. A rumour needs foundation like somebody in S-E saying something or slipping up on a website. None of which has happened.

karl5495d ago

at least one good FF game this gen

but oh well.. this isnt a problem for sony. they still have plenty of exclusives anyway..

Shang-Long5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

well for one i care. i have watched the 4 min trailer of that game for 2 years now. i'm excited for it and i will get it exclusive or not but if it goes multi and extents the development time. i will be upset.

if its not announce at E3 this year then i don't think it will go multi. until after its release. if it does happen.

i'm taking a guess and hoping this years Tokyo game show we will see gameplay.

Godmars2905495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

Because he has to answer to Wada?

Kojima doesn't - exactly - answer to whoever runs Konami, has his own company within the company, but Nomura isn't in that position.

Though I think the main reason we have have FFXIII and vsXIII was result of an argument to keep it exclusive.

RememberThe3575495d ago

is because he wants games to be made on one platform. He's said in the past that he believes that making a game on one platform gives the developer the best change of making the best game they can. If you look at his work you can see that is how he operates.

LightofDarkness5495d ago

I'm sure they've tried, but obviously Wada's the main mouthpiece of the organization. Nomura probably doesn't have much to say on the matter, he's probably along the lines of "whatever Wada wants us to do, we'll do."

Sigh5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

We'll see at either E3 or TGS. Unfortunately Godmars and LightofDarkness above me are both right, it's Wada who the journalists should be asking. I just want to see the damn gameplay, it's killing me.

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom49d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7749d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125183d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501183d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne183d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989183d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga183d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989183d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga182d ago (Edited 182d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69183d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid182d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69182d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp183d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion435d ago (Edited 435d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled435d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
