Final Fantasy Versus XIII is starting to look like Duke Nukem Forever and I'm starting to think it'll suffer the same fate: when it will be released, it will be a big disappointment.

Here's the Magazine's cover:



Noctis is back there, waiting for his game to be released, all the others are first in the line :P

@ first bolded. This is the point right here and you just answered your own  question. Its been in dev. for years. Years. We dont want it delayed anymore. Its that simple. If people want to play it so bad get a PS3 or just wait for a port. Just like PS3 owners had to wait for Bioshock, Mass Effect Limbo, etc. Or buy 360 or PC

2nd bolded. Oh please. This is crap and you know it. Maybe teh 360 guys are not that bad, but most of their games are multi anyway.  But Wii owners?? Really you've never seen them bitch about Dead Space Extraction. Nba Jam, Goldeneye, etc.?? Those are all games they have cried about jumping ship

@Oniyide

Please reference a concept called resource allocation. Games that enter cross platform development rarely if ever see a delay in arrival. The company usually allocates more staff to meet time tables. Where as a exclusive game for a marginal platform is more apt to get decreasing resources. Not only will the team be smaller to be in line with the profits that will be generated, but said team will be more likely to be raided for staff to push out games that are for the cross platform market which will be default sell more units.

You want this game sooner. Then you want Square to rush development. The only way that is going to happen is for this title to go cross platform. Without that this title is going to get marginal support in line with what it might actually be able to generate in sales.

Your argument for delayed ports is also entirely self serving. They aren't in the best interest of a games success in the market place. Delayed ports will in the overwhelming majority of instances sell a fraction of the initial launch. Where as launches that coincide see much greater commercial success. Outsourcing is actually a very dangerous practice. They could do well, but it is equally likely that they could do poorly. Yet it probably will not be them to take the blame. Instead it is the games owner that will take the heat from gamers who will become jaded.

I think your eye for an eye logic is just plain distasteful. Why do you think other platform owners should suffer for their platform, because Sony fucked up its platform. Your suffering is no excuse to wish suffering upon others. It all comes across as being extremely bitter. Some of those delays owed to the other companies offering better compensation, or due to the performance of the PS3. Delayed ports aren't what other gamers deserve your little gripe should rest solely with Sony. Nine times out of ten it was in response to something they did. Not what say a particular developer wanted to do.

Anyway it is a little late in the generation to be caring about this crap. One more game isn't going to tip the scales one way or the other. The die has been cast as it were. So if what was good for my platform of choice is going to conflict with me getting a game sooner. I would opt for getting the game sooner.

@dodece FF13, Tekken 6 are just two examples of games that were delayed due to going multiplat, you wanna give me examples of games that went multi mid development and actually came out FASTER than they would?? im curious

We did when Mass Effect jumped ship.

Stupid isnt it.... was origionally being made for the ps2, but as it was close to ps3 release they started again........how has it taken this long...before long it will be time for ps4 to be announced, can a game be in development for across nearly 3 gens of consoles? MADNESS

I'm sure we'll see this game come out before PS5 is released!

Don't care anymore, SE is dead.

Heard a comment about Versus on XBOX. I don't care if they port it to that console but do it afterwards because when XIII was multi-plat they couldn't make the game any bigger unless XBOX users would need about five discs or something.
