A Final Fantasy Versus XIII job wanted ad lists PS3 package title experience as necessary, "or otherwise an Xbox 360 package title". But Versus is a PS3 exclusive! Just like FFXII was. Well, at one point.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
Lol Kotaku shit stirring once again. It's a well known fact that people who have worked on 360 games are perfectly viable to work on PS3 exclusives as well, especially when the developer in question is developing on a multiplatform engine. I'm almost 100% certain people who have developed solely on 360 have moved on to work on PS3 exclusively and vice versa.
Either way, multiplatform or not the game just needs to hurry up and release.
@Mohdunknown...like The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery?
it will be released for 360 tho. it has to. It defies logic for square to make it exclusive to one system
Nooooooo I don't want another gimped FF game! Goodbye to gorgeous CGI's and who knows what other stuff for the sake of fitting the game on what? 4 discs? If the game's more open then what's gonna happen, you'll need to change discs back and forth too? =/
And considering that both versions have to be equal then how is this gonna work on PS3? Are they going to divide the game in multiple chunks? Man I'm scared! What if they totally gimp the game to make it fit on 1-2 DvD9's!
i need some cigarettes
wont happen its ps3 exclusive?
