Square Enix goes multiplatform, focus on quality then quantity
- Thread starter Neversummer
- Start date
Sony venturing into RPGs would be very cool to see.
Something I've though about recently.
Maybe Naughty Dog would be the perfect studio right now if they don't want to work on Existing IPs.
And they have like 700 people working there right now which is incredible.
they are perfectly acceptable but people would not be happy if Sony was the one making them and pushing them out year on year
its a cheap easy way of making profit and revenue without spending money on budget
Square cannot do this unless they want to realise Pixel Remasters or HD remasters every year constantly
Capcom and Sega are what the Gaming Industry will be like for the next 5 years
glorified ports and remasters
we won't get games like the LOU2 or GOW again
bro this is what I'm telling them
people want them to copy Capcom?? are you serious
look at their strategy with Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Dogma and Monster Hunter
its the same shit year on year
look at Sega???
Just some random Persona game every year or remake with little to nothing in actual development of trying to improve
they really want this to be the video game industry going forward
Luffy I completely agree with you on the games Sony releases.
They have incredible studios and Sony makes good executive decisions regarding the studio and let's them have resources and doesn't rush them.
And they dont put MTX, they always launch at 60 fps and at great performance, with not much bugs, etc.
That's why I always try to express my gratefulness towards them, play and enjoy them, i appreciate em.

I know they're not going to that but a Naughty Dog RPG with a focus on melee would slap.
Just imagine the animation quality with all different kind of weapons and enemy reactivity to your hits and all of that.
Man...
They're also one of a very few studio that do believable party dynamics between a cast of characters very well.
Loads of RPGs nowadays from the west, that are not CRPGs, are mostly a solo main character type ofthing and the party vibes have been missing since Bioware hasn't done any Dragon Age or Mass Effect in forever.
Relax:
They're probably around 450-500~
If they had been 700 people they probably would've not cancelled their online game because they would've had the main power to do both their GaaS game while maintaining their usual SP output.

Final Fantasy XVI, Other Square Enix Titles May Never Make It to Xbox, as Sony Exclusivity Is Going to Get Much Worse

I wouldn't doubt this honestly Xbox doesn't help their numbers very much PC and Switch would be the only platforms besides P.S that do turn them profits.Is someone bluffing?

"Insider" overreaching on things their source(s) have no way of knowing.
See there is no need to hyperventilate, Square will release a multiplatform FF and what happened with XIII and XV will repeat and will come back to PS console exclusive again. Sadly square needs the PC sales, Rebirth and 16 would have netted another 1-1.5 million sales in launch week and then the xbot fuckers online would have nothing to say
That to me is what makes this all the more baffling. Publishers are talking about abandoning Xbox and SE wants to go multiplatform NOW? When Xbox is cratering in sales and image? I get going to PC to a certain extent. Switch 2 is still over a year off as well.
@Bold
This shift is mid-term strategy goal, which is usually a 5 years plan for big corporations.
So Switch 2 is obviously going to be an important SKU within that time period.
Production schedule/platform decisions are made years in advance, these things take time to manifest.
We're not going to feel the effects of this change for quite some time, and certainly not this fiscal year.
Speaking off PC, FF16 had 6 months window and we going on for almost a year now. And Rebirth had 3 months, we are 2 weeks off that time with no imminent info about PC release.
Unless Square wants to get acquired by Sony, having titles being console exclusive is a bad idea if you are a multiplatform publisher. FFVIIR will probably be their last console exclusive in a long time.
Pirates win another round. I doubt this will help Square Enix in any way.
I said it since the FF Remake days, Sony should not be paying for temporary exclusive, that doesn't convince anyone and they don't add up over time.
It's the same reason why a 1 or 2 years delayed released window for PC is stupid, might as well release day one since people already know it's coming. Either make a true exclusive or move on from the idea of exclusives and accept that you are just another multiplataform publisher.
