Well, shit. Good point Sony are always late by a few minutes at least.

24 hours 20 minutes HYPE.

they weren't late on feb 20th

 

[nib95]

Am I the only one who heard each start up sound as the GIF played out?

No, I did too lol. I wanted more of the PS2 one though.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Can I ask in all seriousness why you guys care about these heavy CGI games?
I really don't get it, I actually thought a huge portion of FF fanbasery was diminished in this past generation, now that in game graphics have significantly increased for games the graphic fidelity in the ingame cutscenes is largely 'good enough' (see: Mass Effect)

Are you guys just hardcore RPG fans? Do you like the storyline? Do you guys just really love high end CG? I mean I've seen a day and a half of people posting OMG OMG please more FF posts here and not a single screenshot 'wish for' post with a screenshot has been anything but CG. No talk of the apparent game attached to the CG at all.

I don't get it.

It looks great, we love the style. We know there's a game attached to it but we just love the aesthetic of Versus that it's worth talking about.

Talk about the gameplay will come later after the reveal is out.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I can assume here that it's in-engine cutscene then - not actual gameplay in game?
I've seen 0 screenshots or trailers which include a HUD or indication of gameplay at any point. At all. (EDIT: and it's been that way in any FF thread / post I've seen in the last decade, like no one wants to admit what the actual core game / gameplay is)

There's been a gameplay trailer linked to in this very thread. Did you miss it?

EDIT: Sal's trailer link is better.

Ok well that's fair, I can understand that, having recently gone into watching a lot of anime recently, Japan certainly does know how to produce style.

I mean don't get me wrong here, I love Heavenly Sword and Uncharted a lot and both of those franchises have shit gameplay compared to the cutscenes.

 

[Spongebob]

Beautiful.

 

[Vaco6121]

Dang! What a shame. I wonder if anyone knows where to go for files even larger.

BELIEVE!

Nice job, though. I'm not sure if my heart could take a Versus/XV and KH3 announcement in one day.

 

[Saint Anima]

That's awesome work.

Would love it if the PS4 had the old PSone boot up.

Nice, that's even the one without the mirrored text that we got a bit earlier.

There you go, doesn't look too bad actually, seems they've come a long way. Still 98.776% of posts regarding FF appear to be focused on cutscenes rather than gameplay. Yet that video, honestly - fairly impressive for an RPG.

EDIT: 7 years, lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Versus_XIII#Development wow you poor bastards! that is a hell of a long time.
What's the sale numbers needed for a suitable ROI? Gotta be over 5 million surely?

 

[SniperHunter]

It will be just like 2/20 but better. Can't fucking wait!

indeed

Now this is helpful (let me try this out). Pertaining to the previous link you gave me for mediaload, I uploaded the files but for some reason I couldn't find them and when I tried "My Media" tab it says nothing was uploaded.... what the heck?

Also, thank you.

Damn, I don't care if the game ends up being a disappointment I just want to play it.

Just a reminder to people in here that Knack and Killzone are going to be shown on GT with new footage at 3 EDT tomorrow afternoon. Delicious Killzone gifs should help speed the wait along.

And that's how the game looked a few years back. Shit is gonna blow minds when it is re-revealed!

edit: And no, that's not how it works at SE. The team hasn't been working solidly on the title for that length, they've been juggled around on other projects - so in itself Versus isn't as much a money sink as it may appear because it's never had a particularly extensive team working behind it.

Did you use HTML5 upload option?

This is why I sadly completely mind farted on the Stella downgrade, I remembered these shots

Especially since it was an old build at the time and they've probably moved to PS4 with Sony helping out behind the scenes.

Holy hell.

We actually lucked out with Polygon. At least the worst journalists all joined together in one area, we can avoid.

Brian Crecente
Arthur Gies
Justin McElroy
Michael McWhertor

All smarmy. And their suits. Why do you want to make me think you're dicks?

Watch Giantbomb, they're awesome.

No, they're really not. They're some of the worst offenders during this whole Xbox One debacle. Even Polygon has had more balls and spoken out in favor of the gamers during this shitstorm.

GiantBomb is a joke.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

My prediction for Sony's E3 Keynote:

First, GAF will be all like this:

...


Then when it's all over we're gonna be all like this:

Indeed I did, sir.

Verge and Polygon Pre-e3 show live:

http://new.livestream.com/polygon/BeforeE32013

Talking ps4 right now (basically talking about if all they said for their reveal will come true).

The game sharing was aspirational as well? Anyone have a link to this if possible?

 

[RadarScope1]

That's awesome work.

Would love it if the PS4 had the old PSone boot up.

If they would do something that just somewhat calls back to that boot up ... that would be so sweet. It's been long enough that they can reach back and play off of it. It's long enough to be "classic" at this point and demonstrate the longevity of the brand.

But - they won't do it.

Ahh, it hit me that it's gonna be new footage in a we environment. Hope they show something more gritty this time to see how that looks in comparison. And yea, that's gonna seriously help with the wait.

I could just hear them coming on... memories...

Still don't understand why shooting a store will cause it to explode :S

zero days remaining? zero days remaining.

Spoiler

somebody wake up the train driver

 

[TraBuch]

So does anyone know if Giantbomb does a livestream with commentary for the E3 conferences like they did with the PS4 and Xbone conferences?

 

[PlanetSmasher]

And that's how the game looked a few years back. Shit is gonna blow minds when it is re-revealed!

I think the thing that amazes me most about Versus' gameplay in that trailer is how SMOOTH it is during battle. The animations, the combos, the character switching...everything just flows really, really nicely. It doesn't have that chunky, "too heavy" feel a lot of Western RPGs have, where every animation is so distinct from the previous one that it looks like a puppet being controlled by multiple people at the same time.

It's just really, really smooth. I hope the re-reveal keeps that emphasis and improves the animations even more. It'll look beautiful.

 

[BoosterDuck]

Sony really has their work cut out for them this year.

Microsoft is going to be a guaranteed trainwreck.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

What is this in UK time?

11PM I think?

 

[RoboPlato]

What is this in UK time?

8 PM

 

[i-Lo]

I don't know then.

That's okay. If the new link works out then it'll be worth the wait and effort (looks like only single file can be uploaded at a time).

Thus, thanks.

But that's the same time at Ubisofts show

Eh, I agree that some of the decisions done by Microsoft is idiotic but I still think it will sell well and be an overall solid system.

You promised Sony , do not dessapoint us....

 

[Uno Venova]

I think they'll have a good show, I'll just be disappointed if it will be enough for journalists to throw the issue completely under the rug.

 

[Gorillaz]

X1 will sell well regardless, MS and there marketing team are "up there" compared to alot of other companies so they know how to get the word out


I just hope Sony actually steps it up and is ready for a marketing war
