"Versus XIII is a game that never really took shape" - Tabata

[Sora96]

Read a very interesting interview with Hajime Tabata here.

At this point, Tabata just needs to let the game do the talking. There is no need to address certain things that will cause worry. Words, positive or negative, aren't going to cut it for fans who have been waiting so many years now.

 

[LeonBlade]

Really great interview!

 

[APZonerunner]

This interview is great, but YES to that quote; Versus never really existed, not really - which is precisely why people should let it go.

Can we just agree that the interview itself was much needed? Cause it was.

I’m not saying it wasn’t needed. I’m saying Tabata shouldn’t worry too much about addressing the skepticism and just let the game do the talking. Actions speak louder then words right? Just show a kick ass epic trailer and watch how fickle gamers can be.

The fans who still hold on tightly to Versus XIII just need to play FFXV when it comes out. Words of any sort aren't going work well on them at this point.

Just show a kick ass epic trailer

Exactly what most expected at Gamescom... but we all know how that turned out.

 

[Jenova]

Glad Tabata let the cat out of the bag.

 

[Lulcielid]

So do we know a clear sign on what's to be expected at PAX Prime or will it be rinse & repeat with the GC2015 info used?

I read somewhere (take with a grain of salt) that the they would show DAWN trailer again and another short gameplay trailer in the same fashion of the Malboro one.

 

[Nova]

Heard TGS was the same too

 

[Lulcielid]

We will probably get more juicy details from interviews.

I still dont understand why you would show the same trailer at pax and tgs. They should know the internet has already seen it. Its not like people of that country havent seen it yet. Bringing the same trailer and then showing a 1 minute gameplay of noctis fighting another monster would be stupid to do again. I hope from the backlash from Gamescom they at least change thire minds if they were planing to show that again. We want to see a good amount of new footage not just scraps, and wasting ATR time with a Q and A with non answers. I have a strong feeling that the next few showing are going to be disappointing until PGW or Jump Festa.

 

[Kagari]

Time to show and not tell then, Tabata. There's a reason people really liked the older trailers through 2013.

 

[BladeRunner]

Tabata should get Nomura to make trailers for him lol.

At this point I'm not gonna believe anything they say about this game until it's actually shown. But I think it's unfair to blame it on Tabata, since he doesn't really decide what they can show. It's Square's crazy marketing team.

 

[yeah_93]

It's not Nomura's fault we're barely seeing much of the game. Once he has permission to do so, everything will be okay.

2012 called and fixed it for you.

 

[Lulcielid]

Tabata should get Nomura to make trailers for him lol.

The DAWN gave me legit VSXIII feelings.
