Word on the street is that Square decided to cancel Versus 13 and apparently they aren't even going to make an official announcement about it. I guess we'll never know if this rumor is true or not if that's the case..

Anyone remember when Square was a great company?

Cazador · « **Reply #2 on:** 2012-07-20 15:56:57 »

I miss SquareSoft

I think it's pretty much commonplace today for most AAA companies to constantly disappoint their fans.

If the game really is dead... what a waste of money and time. And all this after the fiasco of XIV... my god.

Lol, I love it. Let's not make the game that a lot of people are anticipating, instead let's make a sequel to XIII eventhough it did mediocre. Also let's make 14.

Forget versus 13...MORE 13-2 DLC!!! Square Logic

I honestly didn't care too much for XIII or XIII-2. The stories were decent, but it was covered by too much cinematic and not enough venturing gameplay. I watched playthroughs on YT and that was enough for me. I can't help but think Versus would be of similar nature, so this is not a huge loss for me.

Unfortunately 15 and 16 will be the same.

I agree, honestly, I couldn't even finish XIII and I'm a pretty big RPG nut. I got like an hour into Gran Pulse...it just got boring and I didn't care enough about the story to finish it.

I'm really disappointed if this is true. What has been shown of this game in the past actually looked really good.

I stopped playing FFXIII when I got up to that weird flower like boss in the crystal place. Honestly I just couldn't stomach the mediocre voice acting and horrendously cliché writing any longer

Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've even enjoyed any straight up FF game since FF8.

If the rumour is true...well that was a waste

That or its the best trolling ever.

9 and 10 were decent. I enjoyed 9 more than 10...10's voice acting was pretty bad at points but overall it was a good game. I wasn't a big fan of 12 though.

BloodShot · « **Reply #15 on:** 2012-07-20 20:03:45 »

I actually never got to play 9, and 10, well I just got really bored when I got far in.

Also I was so disappointed at the time from the lack of an overworld. I kept thinking > Ok, it's gotta be after THIS.

haha, perfect for this topic! Square is announcing either XIII DLC or XIII-3 in september! lmao

BloodShot · « **Reply #17 on:** 2012-07-20 20:46:04 »

My god, why are the pumping so much into 13? 7 May have been milked, but at least the games weren't the same thing with a new story, they were actually very different from each other.

DLPB_ · « **Reply #18 on:** 2012-07-20 20:46:36 »

XIII-3. Hahaha! You just couldn't make it up!

Couldn't care less about this last piece of crap by Square Enix. Bye bye, Sasuke lookalike.

obesebear · « **Reply #22 on:** 2012-07-21 01:39:19 »

If XIII-3 is legitimate, I would suggest that anyone who has stock in SE to sell everything now. It's clear the company will be going under in a few years with genius moves like that.

I think it's time for Tetsuya Nomura to wake up from his egotistical fantasy land before he, and the employees that see eye-to-eye with him run Square into the ground.

It was bad enough when he started putting belts on everything and retconned the fuck out of FF7 with the compilation, but this is just ridiculous.

I think part of the problem is 'fantasy' that went too far?
Well that and the entire game industry is just that, they are trying to make money and not games. This is indicative when a business will sue another for "disruption of a business model" how puerile and childish can you get?
The most important thing about a game, is the fun part, if it's not fun it's not a game. Too much has been pumped into games in terms of "content" and not enough actual game.

Bethesda Softworks puts out much better stuff at probably half the budget and half the fluff. Seriously TES IV, and V are a blast, Fallout 3 and NV ditto.

I am fairly certain part of this is pride, that and the influence of Sony on Japanese game making in general has been most negative.

I haven't seen any Sony made games really.. can anyone name one? The last I remember is Medievil 2 and Legend of Dragoon. Both of which were damn good.

I liked Altus contributions of Star Ocean 2 and 3, the 4th in the series was a bit underwhelming.

The same goes with Square's Front Mission Evolved it was OK but too goofy (and prone to screw up your controller). I liked front mission 3/4/5 but Evolved sucked by comparison.

It's not like they've run out of stories to tell, it's they've run out of stories to exploit it feels like. Heck FF9 was better than 13. I liked FF12 by the way it was great I thought but not everyone liked it I've heard.

It seems Bethesda is contributing better games in general in terms of re-playability and fun.

NV ultimate I'm playing as well as TESV TESIv( ultra modded) Fallout 3. I still play these after having some for 7 years. Whereas I keep forgetting I have XIII (sigh) FFXIV is another who cares.

Even Dragon Age 2 is better than 13. It was a bit short on great but still had some fun stuff in it.
