thats all well and good, but what does scale mean, when there is nothing going on? Thats what some of these guys dont want to get. Sure they could dumb down the game, but more than likely these guys wont buy it because it is an "inferior" version anyway. so what would be the point?

bolded: you're talking about FF 15 right? the amount of action is arguably the same between X and FF 15 but X has much bigger scale so...

No. X doesn't have bigger scale. The action is always local with barely anything going on in the background. All you see are mountains (and not much else) in the distance. FF XV has that Leviathan battle, with realistic water, cloth physics, real time lighting effects, with quite a bit of stuff being animated all at the same time (airships attacking Leviathan, while that beast crashes that bridge resulting in the bridge collapsing in real time, etc...). X has nothing on that scale. The overall draw distance is great, but nothing is happening anywhere unless it's close to the player character.

The Wii is incapable of achieving even this:

Didn't Sony had a contract with Square-Enix? Maybe the Kingdom Hearts HD collections are part of it.


Sony owns an 8.25% shareholding in Square Enix.  Clearly, the decision on which consoles to put Kingdom Hearts HD Collections was was a choice for the members to make by special resolution.  Sony teamed up with Yasuhiro Fukushima and blocked the resolution to have it on 360, thus getting PS3 exclusivity.

I'm not entirely sure I agree. At the same time, IMO DQX makes more sense on PS3 and PS4 than on Wii and WiiU, so what do I know?

the OP still thinks the WIi U could run PS4 xone games no problem? Laughable. the little we've seen from FF15 blows away anything that we've seen from WIi U thus far. Now could they scale down? yeah probably. It wont be the same game as the true versions. Will SE spend the time, resources extra manpower to make a different version? NOPE kill that dream

the little non cgi footage we got from FF 15 is on par or a little better than X.

YOU should forget that dream that "It wont be the same game as the true versions."

full resolution pics for comparisins, it's not even close,  ps4.X1 are way more more powerful machines dude, it's time to accept reality.

Since Square Enix isn't bringing Tomb Raider DE and Thief over to WiiU, then they've all but given up on the platform. Besides, I highly doubt the WiiU could handle a game like FFXV from what we've seen of it.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I think it probably would sell better, but it would have to have a massive downgrade in the graphics. I mean have you see FF15 is looks unreal. They could have use the original PS3 assets and up scaled them to the WiiU though.

Lets get somethings clear here:
FFvXIII was originally a ps3 exclusive, SE rebranded it as FFXV to get it on the PS4 and XB1(Which they expected to have a larger market share + dev costs of their engines was tanking them, which is also why they made 3 ffxIII)
FFXV would definitely be a downport, thus we have the problem of porting costs vs expected sales. Not to mention the game would face heavier competition on the Wii U from Bayo2 and X.

In Regards to Kingdom Hearts III, the numbered Kingdom Hearts have never been on Nintendo platforms, and SE is making multiplatform again because of money.
However, since the 3DS game is the closest in terms of story to 3, one could argue that it has a nintendo fanbase, but thats a strectch cause not every 3ds owner has a wii u and numbered kh never go to handhelds.

In the same "logic", KH was never on xbox and will be 10 years since it was on a sony home console. 4 KH are on nintendo platforms and sold very well there, period.

the games would run very well on wii u and would profit a lot.

Your spin is outrageous. You're very good at what you do. Not to mention there's more KH games for PS3 than there have ever been on Nintendo platforms.

Game wouldn't run period on Wii U, would take an entirely new team to develop it alongside of the current version.
