Forums - Gaming - Xbox 360 FF VERSUS XIII Under Consideration (Interview with Wada)!!

huaxiong90 on 18 May 2010

I would like to see how far they can push the PS3, to be honest.

More meltdowns will happen if this does also go multiplat. I'll be off the internet in case this happens.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

lol @ all Sony Fanboys bleeding about this announcement! So yea, like someone else said before.... if this becomes official does that mean that FXIII Versus is no longer the holy grail of this series as said previously?!?! ;)

Fanboys? alot of the people who just posted own 360s and love them, you are really ignorant and i hope you get banned because this is simply about promises that get broken and a developer that hasn't made a exclusive game for your platform yet.



Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous

 

Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5,  Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.

Fck wada. If this happns I'll never buy a FF game from them agen unless its announcd multiplat from get go. Xbox 360 hs ruined FF13 grfx & scope, half the contnt was taken out of th game. despite tht FF13 is my game of gen, bt it cud hve been so much more if they ddnt hve to deal with size restrictions

this move will delay versus & bring down its scope (like GTa4 & ffxiii went down in scope). I wnt evr support squre-enix agen, FF13 will be my last if this happens, I am sick of it & PS3 fans r too.

"Sad day for fanboys, great day for gamers."

Aragod i couldn't agree more!

But yes i think it would sell good on the 360.

Yep, that's what I'm saying, 3rd party games beeing exclusive is nonsense. The only thing you get with exclusivity is less money (and better game).

lol We both have the same opinion, But i will say that each consoles do need their exclusive and not every game needs to appear on both platforms.

In other words, no surprises here.

I dunno, FF13 has done very well on xbox 360, but I still think the sales it has there could have been achieved on PS3 too. I think PS3 can sustain a FF game by itself. But if all S-E is seeing is sales on the paper then yeah they would want to do this move.

I think they should make Versus timed exclusive worldwide at the least as a litmus test. For example many people said MGS4 was going multiplat but when it sold that well on PS3 I don't think Konami felt there was any need to go multiplat.

At this point SE has shown that they want to expand into the west market more on the xbox360 over the ps3, and nothing wrong with that I say more power too them at SE. 

The fact that SE has made more Exclusives for the xbox360 this generation than the PS3 tell's the story more so than some gamer's wishing for SE to stick with one company over the view of some misplaced loyalty. The fact that SE is looking out for their best interest's in North America is a good thing for their bottom line.Though I do think SE is leaving some money on the table though quite a bit that is.

I can see some gamer's "mainly being PS3 only gamer's" upset by this but SE's history speak's for itself, they go where the Money is. right now SE's best expansion into the western market IE: in this reguard I am talking about mainly North America is on the xbox360, though I think the Wii should also be a focus also Along with the PS3. Though While I do see SE trying to expand their market as a good thing , but leaving less exclusives on the table for other game console's in this generation is a big mistake In my opinion. Esp. for 3rd parties.

I think the real issue is SE stated from the start they were going to be more even across the board on releases on the game console's this generation, but so far that has not been the case at all. that may change but it sure does not look like it will.

 

Yup they are doing it for money no doubts and as they are a company we can't criticize them doing it jsut for the money. But when they make promises & break them, that I have a issue with. I couldn't care less if versus went multiplat, FFXIII did and its one of my favorites in the series.

BUT when they say it WILL NOT go multiplat then they should keep it that way.

yea i agree it's a company and you have to expect that company to do thing's that is in the companies best interest's.

though I can indeed see the flack thrown their way for not being upfront with a multiplatform status of any of their IP's. Now while I think there may be not intention to mislead the consumer by choice they have not been very open with their communication with the consumer about their direction until later or after the fact. Now that may be from miss communication through their public relation's or they do not get their info out as quick as they could.

So I cannot fault them looking out for their companies bottom line, I do think they need better and faster updated communication to the consumer though.

Let guess:

They are going to finish the PS3 version, then make us wait two years so they can port the 360 version over. It will be PS3 exclusive in Japan, and multiplat everywhere else, and viewed first at E3 MS press conference.

Just because they said so doesn't mean it's the truth. You aren't going to say to the bigger crowd of your fans that you've screwed their game just to get some more cash.

So we move into theory and guesswork then? Sorry, but I can't be bothered to discuss that.

The game will allways be better as exclusive.

Really? The only games I can recall that were negatively impacted by going multiplat, were games that had shoddy ports, and even then, only the ports were bad. I doubt the 360 version of Bayonetta was impacted by the PS3 port, and I don't see how giving PS3 owners the game is bad, when there was no felt impact on the 'original'.

In other words, more guesswork then.

I'm worried about the quality going down from the need to optimalize it for two platforms instead of one. That's undeniable fact.

I'll have to trust you on that, you're the only one who can tell me what you worry about after all.

The PS3 version only outsold the 360 version by 800k in the west, the only areas they were competing in, and the 360 version was clearly a rushed port, so they can't have spent a lot of money on it. If they can start on it earlier, they might even release FFvXIII (360) in Japan as well, and I don't think the PS3 version will be able to sell as much if it's exclusive, as both versions combined if it is multiplat.

I think the chances of FFvXIII remaining exclusive are slim.

So the PS3 couldn't have made up for the 360 sales?

MGS4 did just fine making on PS3 & outsold MGS3.

@geddesmond

YAWN

The plan was to make it linear from the get go, they didn't change the whole games structure after 2008. Did you whine when FFX was on the weakest console last gen?

Get over it.

Ah right so you know it was there plan to make FF13 linear from the get go because? So they planned from the very start to make an area called Gran Pulse which they would use as there only place that gives the player a sense that there playing an RPG. Stick it near the end of the game were it coincidently lands on the 3rd Disk of the Xbox 360 version, Yeah sure they did. Anyone who thinks FF13 wasn't sacraficed for an Xbox 360 version are just fooling themselfs.

 

Oh no YOU are fooling yourself. So your telling me that after the port was announced in 2008 they CHANGED the entire game & made it linear in the 1 years 6 months they had to release it for the Japan release? Puh-lease

Again thats how the game was planned, you didn't like it, fine tough luck but its not xbox 360's fault, get over it.

Xbox 360 Final Fantasy Versus XIII Under Consideration

Square Enix CEO does not rule out multiplatform change for FFXIII sister project.

Posted May 18, 2010 at 23:03, By Anoop Gantayat

Final Fantasy XIII was originally a PlayStation 3 exclusive, but ended up making the switch to multiplatform PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Sister project Final Fantasy Versus XIII was also originally a PlayStation 3 exclusive, and has stayed as such since its announcement.

The various Versus trailers that we've seen since FFXIII's multiplatform switch have made it clear that this particular FF game would be PS3-only worldwide. But CEO Yoichi Wada was less firm on this stance during a Q&A session that concluded an investors meeting today in Tokyo.

As reported at Impress Watch, when asked if it would be best to give Versus a multiplatform release on Xbox 360, Wada replied "We'll be looking into it internally until right before the formal announcement."

The question was asked in relation to Final Fantasy XIII and the possibility of the game's Xbox 360 release having helped to extend sales overseas.

By "formal announcement," Wada is presumably referring to the proper unveiling of Versus. While we've seen plenty of trailers for the game, most recently via a short teaser clip at December's Jump Festa event, Square Enix has yet to show gameplay footage outside of some camera-grabbed teaser footage that was shown at last year's Tokyo Game Show.

The game's formal unveiling is widely expected to take place at next month's E3 expo in Los Angeles, although director Tetsuya Nomura has given some hints that it could come later.

So what do you think?

I hope not! Its not because I don't want more people to play it I just wanna see how far S-E can push PS3.

 

hey darth please colour the post white
