A city that would "knock us off our feet" sounds like something that can't be for current gen hardware. At least in my opinion. With the extra horsepower and especially RAM, a next gen city could really throw us for a loop.


Nomura had very big ideas for this game from jump. Overworld Map travel without being Chibi form, vehicle travel, night/day cycles that effect monster breed, action oriented combat, etc.

I find it kind of funny that with each new FFXIII title, they get closer to what Versus is set out to be.

-XIII2 changed the travel system to give allusion of more openness, also added night and day cycles to certain places.

-XIII Lightning Returns is said to have ActionRPG combat system, open sanbox like world of sorts, Night/Day cycle system.

unfortunately with each XIII sequel, the original mythos and plot get more and more warped and diluted.

link?

any hint at where his connections might lay?

I see it as a 50% chance it is for PS4, 70% chance it will be shown on 2/20.

If the games are released I'll get them eventually, but because of all the constant no shows at E3 and little information, I'm not really that interested in them any longer. Would have been a day one purchase if released years ago, now I have too many titles in my backlog and other games I'm more interested in, I can wait for these to go on sale or hit $20 before I buy.

side note. I can also forsee Square Enix totally throwing in a Versus demo in with Lighting Returns in order to boost that game's sales. That is also honestly the only way I would buy that game at a price over $20.

Man, I hope you're right. But I'm not getting my hopes up.

If they are announced with release dates, it would be a great day for everyone, not just Sony fans.

What signs are pointing to a Versus re-reveal?

The Last Guardian I can see, given that that former BigBig Studios dev on gaf was saying it's been an Orbis project for something like two years now.

Earlier this spring, Nomura seemed ready to talk Versus and give new info about the game, butsuddenly said, "Because of a totally unrelated reason, there are circumstances in which that info cannot be released."

According to Wada's tweet, "There's someone making a false rumor that Versus was cancelled. Haha...Just a minute ago, the regular Versus meeting ended. If you saw the presentation of the city, it'd knock you off your feet~lol"

I probably should put those links into the OP.

All these show is that Versus is still in development, and Square has a habit of releasing games on consoles near or even well after their predecessors have launched, and their games are usually big enough to get away with it.

Key examples being Final Fantasy XII and Dragon Quest X.  They could very well be planning to launch Versus on ps3 after ps4 has been released, though it's looking like Lightning Returns will fall into that window, so they could also decide otherwise.

I hope for ps4.  If it's coming no sooner than 2014, then fuck yeah I'll want it on ps4 instead of ps3.


I would think the same thing but like you said, Lightning Returns is already fitting in the 2013 window. Then there is also FFXIV to think about. At earliest Versus is a Late 2014 release. Thats only less than 1 year after PS4/Orbis's release but FF's track record has shown that the last FF to release on any given console sells the worst, partly because they are usually released well after the next system's debut. All of SE is riding on this one game, they need to to be successful, for their fans and shareholder's sake. 

I think it is worth noting that SE has been attempting to upkeep part of their original plans, while revising other facets of it. For one, We all know FFXIII, Versus, and Agito were meant to be apart of the FF compilation known as Fabula Nova Crystalis. That is 3 games meant to expand the universe. After FFXIII being critically panned, Agito was turned to Type-0, and Versus went dark. They are substituting those games with FFXIII sequels to keep the promise of FNC being a series(and being able to use old engine and assets), but they just weren't willing to risk two very ambitious projects being pulled down by that name. Rumors still point to Versus being renamed.

What this means is the likelyhood of Versus turning into XV says that SE will want to make a big splash with it, making a next gen console debut more likely.


That, and we're in the age of multiplatform.  DQX also came out on Wii U, after all.

But if Versus goes ps3/ps4, expect at the very least a Durango release, if not a 360 release as well.

minus the 360 release, I can see it. Yet I don't think it likely. Here is to hoping Sony's 8+% of stock in Square Enix at a time where their stocks are falling drastically entitles them to at least this exclusive to their consoles.
