New real-time screens of Final Fantasy Versus XIII

Here are a few new real-time screens for Square Enix's upcoming PS3 exclusive, Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

[Morgan Douglas Jones]

*faints*

[allforcalisto]

at first when i saw the screen i was like huh?, then i altered his character design

i think he has a longer face now

the graphics look pretty awesome

[Morgan Douglas Jones]

These are not even screen shots rofl. They're cropped from these high quality scans. http://forever-fantasy.net/... << They look better at the link by the way.

[deathray]

amazing. game over. PS3 FTW!!!

[Euphrate]

These are clearly in-game. Because it's not good enough to be CGI.

[ash_divine]

yea, the graphics really do resemble MGS4.

[Giant_Enemy_Sackboy]

umm the little difference is that mgs4 was a complete game and versus is at least 2 years from now (everywhere since is a world wide release

[ash_divine]

well, all the better for Versus. Right?

funny profile name and pic by the way.

[AAACE5]

Call me crazy but Versus XIII seems to lean more toward being an action game, and not an RPG! It seems like it will be more like Devil may cry! What do you think?

[ash_divine]

fine by me. i love action games.(especially action RPGs). infact I nearly fainted when square confirmed it would have a better verion of the Kindom Hearts combat system.(which was already great to me).

[INehalemEXI]

Sweet

[mfwahwah]

It's called an Action RPG, they're not new.

[rexor0717]

I hope that we can see some gameplay soon. I want to know what this game is about.

[bpac123456789]

They look good, not as good as Mgs4 charachter models, but almost. Either way i cant wait for this game to come out, i hope it will come out in 2009, but probably not.

[iamtehpwn]

Versus XIII is HOLY BALLZ graphical awesomeness.
The Hair shaders are very impressive, The Prince looks really cool in his Suit.

And you know, The Graphics so far meet/exceed with Final Fantasy 8's and possibly 10's CG scenes (haven't seen enough yet), which are still impressive when viewed do

PS3 fans should rejoice.

[Foliage]

This game looks incredible. I love the Final Fantasy meets real world feeling they are shooting for. Not to mention the dark edge, and the mention of Shinigami. This game keeps sounding better and better. The series needed a serious change, and I think Versus is finally going to make a significant one. Like the battle system.

[sumfood4u]

I'm more amped up than any Mountain Dew can!

[xhi4]

real good!

[socomnick]

Don't get too excited the tittle says real time screens not ingame screens. Im assuming these are just bull shots that use in game assets to get the screens. Kinda like those bull shots of resistance 2 we seen months ago and look at the game now it looks like a ps2 game. Im cautiously optimistic I dont want to get hyped for this game since it wont come out for another 2 years.

[socomnick]

What im a fanboy because I see that these are bull shots. Every game company does it. They use in game assets and claim them to be real time to hype up the game. Just look at the resistance 2 first screenshots or the gears 2 rock monster screenshots. Those are both bull shots as these are.

[psiom]

You're a fanboy for saying R2 looks like a PS2 game. And what are you even referring to? The Chicago scene with aliens in the sky? (that they proved was in fact in-game?)

Your whole comment is just such tired and worn out dissenting drivel.

Don't be a hater just cause you don't have better things to do.

[TheHater]

First Resistance 2 screen shot
http://ps3.psu.com/media/re...

In-Game gameplay video
http://beta.myresistance.ne...

That speak for itself

[socomnick]

This here is in fact in game.

see how much different it is from in game cut scenes.

[TheHater]

http://www.gametrailers.com...

skip to 4:02 and watch from there. tell me if that don't look a lot better than that picture you posted up.

[silverchode]

dont try to argue with a hardcore halo fan, he will never admit resistance is better than halo.

[DaTruth]

Can someone please tell me why I can't watch gametrailers anymore. It told me to upgrade my player, I did it, and I haven't been able to see them since.

[THC CELL]

lol i like the fact its a ps3 exclusive

xbots are getting only half the experience lol

its ok tho
they do have a exclusive ff online
Wait again its on pc Like the rest of the xbox games lol

[Drealmcc0y]

Versus will be on the 360 you idiot
Why wouldnt they do it?
Give me some reasons.
"Bu bu bu the power of the cellz, fully utalizing it!"
Thats what you said about FFXIII... O but wait, its going to the 360 now, and SE said they would make it look just as good as the PS3 version

[THC CELL]

Here are a few new real-time screens for Square Enix's upcoming PS3 exclusive, Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

bu bu bu that

[Morgan Douglas Jones]

@ the moronic troll.

If Versus was going to be on 360 they would have confirmed this at their party earlier this month. Did they? No. Instead, they confirmed it's staying on PS3 while XIII will remain multi-platform but will release first for PS3 in Japan. "PS3 EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE". Not "PS3 EXCLUSIVE IN JAPAN".

Why don't you just throw yourself off a bridge with cinder blocks tied to your feet for being such a failure at life?

[thereapersson]

FAIL

[Overr8ed]

This pwns anything on the 360. infinite UnDiscovery looks like a damn ps2 game

[UNCyrus]

@ THC Cell

Half the Experience??? Aren't you forgetting about Agito?? They are only getting 1/3 of the FF13 releases

[THC CELL]

they look sweet

**wipes foam off mouth then keyboard**

[achira]

wow, looks awesome. cant wait for this game. charackters loook reallly really good. i hope its really ingame.

[Bordel_1900]

This is in-game real-time cut-scene gfx, not gameplay gfx right?

[kevnb]

but I don't think i see any gameplay

[LeBart]

Well there's no big difference between cut scene and in-game. It's still the same engine.

[Drealmcc0y]

3 months ago
You were saying the same thing about FFXIII r3tard

[Death2494]

That's right there's nothing going on with the 360 right now so you've decided to come over here. FF13 is an exclusive in Japan only. This is just to see how well it's going to sell on the 360. it's also to see if it's worth making any other titles multiplatform. Besides the long wait that you're going to have to endure, they're going to have to probaly compress the game. It's cost more money when you extend it to a third disc. Lol. Since the death of HD-DVD, the 360 seems so last gen. And they still haven't fixed the RROD problem. lol

[masterofpwnage]

the devs neva really said anything about it not cming multi, they never really came out and said this is ps3 exclusive. maybe the trailer but after that there was hella rumor saying that it was cming and they even said they might bring it to the 360.

while ffv13 was said to be ps3 exclusive already and if it was gonna be e3 would of been the confirmation.

trust me ffv13 will look so much better then ff13

[Death2494]

You Square Enix is just testing the water with Final Fantasy 13 right? Because of the install base the 360 has already. IF it's sales suck on the 360 then i highly doubt that Versus will be multiplatform. Besides they wont even start production on the 360 version until the ps3 version is complete. oh BTW, it's still an exclusive in Japan!!!!!! it's only coming multiplatform in UK and the States. Why are you even here? This is for ps3 owners. I wonder how many discs will be required for FF13? Good Luck with that. Enjoy the waiting time.

[amilimos]

Very nice ... im really looking forward to this game.

I'm not saying this because MS announced XIII for the 360 bt i always preferred vs XIII to XIII. I'm so glad that vs XIII wasn't the ff that went multiplatform. Honestly, exclusives tend get alot more attention than multiplatforms.

This looks to be the closest to the greatest ff game (ff7, thats imo of course),and i love the feel and bad ass hero!!!

Can't wait for this game ... Looks AMAZING!!!!!
Let's hope the story and gameplay follow suit.

[pp]

Its multi-platform so shut the f*ck up droids and it will look better on xbox360

[masterofpwnage]

did they confirm it imean they always say that ffv13 was ps3 exclusive, but ff13 not so much they even admit it that they might bring it the 360.

pp seriously u try to hard.

the creator will not let this happen, the creator doesnt even like the fact that ff13 is multi.

and its up to the devs, imean look at mgs4 kojima didnt want it for the 360 and it didnt happen
and thats why

callofduty
burnout
gta4
dmc4
battlefield (if u saw the good one not gametrailers one)

this is ps3 lead platform so evry ps3 lead platform always look better

[nos4speed]

I just pissed myself laughing at that, it will look better on the 360, LMMFAO!!!

[AIi_The_Brit]

your thinking of FF13 moron, this game is exlusive

and enjoy your FF13 half a year after us

[Skyreno]

look guy who made this game name nomura he Love ps3 and he a PS3 Fanboy not 360 SO.. it mean is going to be exclusive Only to PS3 Same goes kingdom hearts Series ^^

[beavis4play]

i wish square would give out more info on what the storyline of this game is about. it's looking gorgeous but i want more info. come on square!

[Lets-Game]

are you guys blind those screens look crap.

[Cartesian3D]

now we all know who is blind..

the number of polygons in her face(she looks hot btw!) is awesome... even better than MGS4.. look at her(or his) hair , so much detail on characters :)

[cl63AMG]

you fail.

[jackdoe]

Nice. Cannot wait (though unfortunately, I probably will have to wait until 2011 to play this game).

[TheHater]

agree. Or the earliest we are getting this game is 2010 :(
I want to play it next year dammit

[arngrim229]

actually graphically looks better than ff13, now i see y its ps3 only, and ff13 is on 360. tho it still makes me mad lol

[TheHater]

I hate this new character model. Give us back the old "MORE BADASS" main character model. I hope the give us the option to play as him when we beat the game.
Oh and does anyone have the feeling that this is what SE wanted to do with Kingdom hearts 2, a more darker theme, but Disney wouldn't let them.

[SUP3R]

I agreed with the 2nd part of your comment.
I actually prefer this more mature grown look to the previous teaser model. He looks a lot more Japanese now as well. I think S-E is going for a certain level of realism here akin to Advent Children. I also get the feeling the story is going to be pretty deep and heavy in this one.

[ash_divine]

I read somewhere that he may not look like that by the time the game ships.(the latest Famitsu article, I believe). or maybe he'll have different costumes for different levels, who knows.

[TheHater]

@SUP3R
yeah you are right. I really hope the release some info on the Story at The Tokyo Game Show.

[jackdoe]

With all the clothing line tie ins, I wouldn't be surprised if the main character has multiple outfits (so they can sell more outfits).

[Saint Sony]

Looks like magazine scans. Anyhow, don't like this emo stuff.

[mfwahwah]

You have a twisted vision of emo, in my opinion.

[squallheart]

i find it funny that people classify those hairstyles as emo when in fact kids here in the usa (i think it started here) just copied trends from asia som from goth and packaged it emo. God i hate emo gives asian hair styles a bad name XD

On the pics O.O! man i want that game. I just hope the battle system is not like crisis core. Even though it was good, the materia system was awful and didn't impact the battles much. Passed the whole game with just slashing my way through :/ I miss FFVII materia system.

[poeo]

you dont even know what emo is, so stop using the term. unless of course if you listened to Rites Of Spring in the 80s or Hot Water Music in the 90s, but i doubt it.

emo doesnt exist in the 00s, it's just a joke.

[Saint Sony]

I kinda got stuck in 70s music, and I am still there I guess. Too old for this sh!t.

[OmarJA]

LMFAO XBOTS STILL SOAR ABOUT THE CRAPPY FFXIII PORT ON 13 DVDS

JUST WATCH OUT FOR RROD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Vicophine]

Pinning my hopes on Versus was smart, those in-game graphics are insane..

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

PP is a moron who is trying to become a wannabe Nasim even though he gets dumber and more pathethic by every PS3 article.

No wonder he "trolls".The 360 ran out of games for that MS tool.

[Neonvapor]

can anyone tell me what the difference is going to be between versus and regular XIII?

[juuken]

I think they have different storylines.

[DarK-SilV]

Same world different story and game play (that’s what I read)

[Vicophine]

XIII = Toriyama's concept of the mythos
Versus = Nomura's concept of the mythos

[juuken]

This game looks even more badass than FFXIII. *___*

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Hmmmm. I hate to ask. But was that just a defense mechanism because FF13 is multiplat now?

I honestly don't think that that's a big deal. All that means is that more people get to play the game.

PS3 owners will still get the same game that they were getting before. So what's the big deal?

This console war is the most immature thing I've seen since politics. And 99.99999% of it isn't you, Juuken. I'm just saying it's sad how bad things have become.

But as I type this you're all probably preparing your Disagree buttons. Fire away, I just don't care anymore >_<

[juuken]

No, that was not a defense mechanism. It does look awesome. FFXIII will be awesome too, no doubt about it though.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

...
...
...
...
...
...
...okay. My bad, I guess.

Just so you know, I wasn't the one who disagreed with you.

[juuken]

I'm sorry frothing bots but this is a PS3 exclusive.

[Ritterrav]

listen guys, they didnt change the character design or anything, this is just how the main character looks in-game, and the cloths? he's the king, he's prolly at a banquet or something, you know making the public appearance that political ppl need to make.

[arngrim229]

tetsuya said that his design was going to change. i heard something bizzare that they were gonna give him long blonde hair im like NOOOO

[Roukuko]

nomura like kojima only like making games on playstation

[Meresin]

Looks like more cutscene screenshots. :/ I'll reserve my hype for when there's actual gameplay screenshots.

[CaptainHowdy]

i NEED this game now

[smurfie4]

If you are going to hold your breath waiting for Versus to come to the 360, prepare to suffocate. ^_^ Nomura and his team are utilizing the ps3's architecture and blue-ray fully. They are not willing to make a compromise on quality by putting the game on dvd9.

[Draperc]

I give a 99% chance of versus xiii staying a ps3 exclusive, and a 1% chance of it going to the 360. Tetsuya Nomura is the director of final fantasy versus xiii, so if he says this game is a ps3 exclusive, then there's damn little anyone can do about it. Tetsuya Nomura was only a character designer for final fantasy xiii, and therefore had no say as to what console that game would be on. A 360 version of final fantasy versus xiii is completely up to Tetsuya Nomura, so if he says no, then that's that. Sorry 360 fans, but the chances for this game coming to your beloved "3-fix-me" are slim to none.

[Exia]

Let's hope this is how he will look like in real-time! I'd be pissed if this was just cutscenes!

[N00BZSUCKASS]

hahhahAhahahAHAHa what a stupid, emo game. and why does that guy look hotter than that girl? dumb, homo, emo artists.

this game will be announced as a 360 exclusive this holiday.

[Draperc]

you're an idiot. now kiss your bubbles goodbye.

[N00BZSUCKASS]

hhahahahaah u 2! and wow you said "you're" instead of "your". u must be a genius around these parts!!!!! (IM SERIOUS!!!)

[GameDev]

he's a FOCKING IDIOT

first he slams it as a h0m0 game and then it says it will be 360 exclusive this xmas.

I swear these bots get DUMBER AND DUMBER everyday.
Just look at how sore the xbot f@gg0t that runs this site is at me.
BANS FROM THE GAMER ZONE AS SOON AS I MAKE POST THERE. NOW THATS HATE.

LMAO

[Esena]

wait a second...are you saying that only the 360 can be the home of dumb homo emo games? Cuz thats what I got from your post.

Oh ... and it is the lamest thing in the world to prove someone wrong on their grammar/spelling ... it just goes to show that you no longer have an argument.

[N00BZSUCKASS]

dumbass. I was complimenting him. I said it was rare to see a post from one of you idiot droids not riddled with grammatical errors. dumb n00b!

[AIi_The_Brit]

N00BZSUCKASS please pick up your fail and take it with you

have a nice day

[JokerSGS]

Whats the difference between the Verses version and the normal version of FF XIII

[mfwahwah]

wikipedia and google.

[UNCyrus]

two creators were given the same mythos, and each created their own game based off of the same information... Thus XIII, and Versus XIII are in parallel worlds, so to speak

[Mao]

And screens like these come along. The PROBLEM is that this game is atleast two years away. I'm not waiting that long! I'll get it when it comes but DAMN!

[Matpan]

1 - I wont say a word till I see it in motion
2 - Those pics have too much noise on them.
3 - Anyways, it look reeeeeally good.

Hope they are real time and game gets to look like that. :)

[vloeistof]

versus :D and all the new fans this game got since e3 :D

[Critical_Hit]

I really like the "fantasy based on reality" theme that the game is portraying (i.e. real world settings, items etc.). I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some gameplay from this one.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

i'll keep these pics in mind, but why does every game out there look so much better in there beta stages.

these pics are really fascinating, well, i hope this game looks exactly like these pics during actual game play.

[smurfie4]

Just shutup. Dissing this game when you know if it were on the 360 you'd piss yourself with excitement. This game is going to be epic and you people are pouting because you're not getting it. ^_^ Wipe your tears and go buy a ps3.

[pixelsword]

Everyone's saying that they couldn't do FFXIII on the 360... they haven't even started on the 360 version, so it's still up in the air about the 360 version being as good as the PS3 version. No one can tell you, not even Square Enix. We don't even know as 360 players if the translation of the game will be as good (or even good, period), or we as PS3 players if the game is Exceptional in the first place (although it's very likely, considering the past versions).

Everyone's jumping the gun.

[nieto]

"Everyone's saying that they couldn't do FFXIII on the 360"

every game could be made for every platform. look at "call of duty 3" it is on PS3/X360 and Wii... And "world at war" it's coming for the Wii too.

get my point? LOL ;-)

[AuToFiRE]

*O...M...F...G moment*

[silverchode]

we should make bets on how many disks it will take ff13 to be on the 360.
i say 4.

[nieto]

with that quality i don't even think SE could find a way to put FFXIII on x360. maybe they go the route of the Wii ports and change things like less resolutions textures, cut some cut-scenes and voices/dialogues languages.

if the dev of rage are having some bad time thanks to the disc space, imagine SE with this epic JRPG near CGI quality. Lost Odyssey has 4 disc...

in my opinion this it's going to be a mess.

[Avto]

This might be running real time, but no way this is how the game will look with all the magic effects, explosions and stuff going on.

[CaitSith]

Looks in-game to me. It has a close resemblance to the cutscenes in Final Fantasy X as well. AAND I'm really happy that this game is for PS3 only.

PS3 only = quality game.
Am I wrong? =D

[pixelsword]

...IF let's say, for some odd reason I can't imagine the 360 version receives inferior textures and as a result, the PS3 gets the same inferior textures I would agree. Worst of all, if Versus has a higher quality than XIII, then everyone will have the first proof of a game being "dumbed-down" for multiplat, which will set the net on fire.,

Since they are confident in the quality changeover that they can guarantee quality though, and the quality of the white engine is the same as these pics in-game at 30 or 60 fps (whatever), then you may have to reevaluate your statement.

Since SE sold out to go multiplat, any thing's possible now.

[CaitSith]

I don't like the open zone dudes, too many immature weiners.
Too bad it's my default zone.

ANYWAYS, I can't wait for this game, it looks great, and I'm glad that it's PS3 exclusive.

[supergamer]

im speechless!

[ustayclassyn4g]

but i want to some gameplay

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

OK look, the PS3 version of FF13 will look better,and how do i know?...well...lets just say BECAUSE I KNOW IT'LL LOOK BETTER!!! SO SHUT UP BEFORE I PUNCH YOU!!!!, and when FF13 comes out on the PS3 and the 360, it will deliver the finale blow to the 360, because it will show TRULY how inferior the 360 is to the PS3...TRUST ME!!, FF13 coming to the 360 is the worst thing thats ever happened to the console, even worser then RROD LOL!, oh and 1 more thing, FF13 coming to the 360 is because of money, i know that because every other SE game is coming out on PS3, PSP, and before E308 SE were in a marketing crisis,...YOU see, those who actually read whats going on in the gaming industry would know about SE marketing crisis, but people like POG and PLOP-PLOP ('PP') and 'GiantEC' dont read anything and like to go on every PS3 article and like to trash the PS3 with all their BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAaaaaaaaaH! about their superior 'STONE-AGE' console, that has a failure rate of 33% now going up to 40 and HIGHER! as we speak lol....PS3=THE FUTURE OF GAMING....Xbox360= The 9/11 incident LOL!

[Draperc]

You are, without a doubt, the worst of the worst fanboys here on N4G. You actually compared the 360, a machine, to 9/11, a day where thousands of innocent people died for no reason? I hope you rot in hell you worthless piece of trash. Everyone, take away this f*ggots bubbles. Anyone who would compare a video game console to a tragedy such as 9/11 doesn't deserve to talk.

[TerrorCell]

You hit the nail on the head anyway 360 is basically the what caused 9/11 i mean if the US were not such capitalistic pigs every country on earth would not hate them. US = biggest terrorist organisation on earth

[Figboy]

reactions, there's a reason why Microsoft chose green for the 360; it's fanboys are green with envy of the Playstation brand, and everytime Microsoft makes an announcement that helps them in their quest to become Playstation, the fanboys go batsh*t crazy with excitement (example: the FFXIII for 360 announcement, and any other "Playstation franchise" that comes to the 360).

[user9422077]

*tears of happiness*

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

i said the 360 caused the 9/11 incident, i wasn't comparing 9/11 to gaming, and how can u compare a plane smashing to a building with gaming, you dont make sense

[zo6_lover27]

How do say a system that was probably not even in development at the time of 9/11, caused 9/11?

[man0fsteel]

and THEN he tries to justify himself... uncalled for

[ShadowXIII]

the scans look way better than that other ff game . if u look closely at the girl you can see the shinigami (death god) in the picture it looks like this game is going to be like death note XD

[CaitSith]

From what I can see, it looks pretty big! Whoa, I can't wait for what Nomura has in stores for us! w00t

[realistgamer]

wow! this game looks incredible, absolutely stunning!

[enjoi187]

EMO

[Blaze929]

No one, no body, nothing has confirmed those to be real time

[GUNS N SWORDS]

http://forever-fantasy.net/...

if you at the dude's hands, they're so round and smooth, and his suit's got lots of smooth wrinkles. to spend that much detail on 1 guy is a lot, what about all of the NPC's, do they get this kind of detail?

or will they suffer?

and also i see no jaggedness, must be up there in the resolutions, looks way smoother than 720p.

[stealthy-guy]

for TGS 08,going to tivo it.

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

its called a joke, meaning a prototype 360 was running inside the building, and i know that the 360 did'nt exist when 9/11 happened, a biulding fell down and people lost their lives, and I KNOW THAT! what do you want me to do, relive 9/11 every day or something people lost their lives, and now they've moved on, atleast where those peopl have gone is better then this corrupted planet, and pluse your own goverment did it so SHUT UP!, and WHAT THE HELL!, this site is rediculous, when someone makes a racist comment no one cares, but when someone mentions 9/11 it beaks everyones heart, what about my brother and sisters who are suffering in muslim countries, because of YOUR stupid soldiers that truly rely on all their technology to surpport them, those couple of thousands lost in 9/11 is nothing compared to the 100,000's lof lives lost in Iraq,palestine and surrounding areas, SO SHUT UP!

[steck67]

Looks damn sexy.

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

if i affended anyone, then i am very sorry, and please forgive me, but i was not insulting those who died in the world trade centre nor was i mocking them, those people that died were inoccent and i am aware of that, but you gotta understand that those thousands that died are'nt any more special then the thousands that die every day, i am very sorry
