It's possible that Versus XIII just gets scrapped if FFXIII doesn't perform to S-E's expectations. I am not entirely amused by this info at all. How big is FFXIII going to be if you need 2 production teams to do it?

 

hmmm, you are kidding right. Story and concept arts are already done, And we all know that FF games can`t sell on Sony console.

I don't think he's right at all, but the suggestion that "story and concept arts" mean the game is far into production is silly.

95% of the game will be creating those art assets in a fully realized virtual world. AAA PS3/360 development costs haven't tripled since last generation because of the "story and concept art" budget.

The reason I don't think Versus will be scrapped is that they already have graphical assets in place (the trailers we've seen).

 

 

But to suggest that somehow FFXIII Versus can be scraped due to FFXIII sales number is absolutely ridiculous. They were at over 7% complete last E3 and now with story and arts done, it's already considerable investment putting into the development.
