Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that the upcoming Final Fantasy XV will be the subject of sequels and/or additional content to continue the game’s story.

“In the trailer, there was a line that read “A World of the Versus Epic,” which suggests that it will be part of an epic. While Final Fantasy XV will have one climax, as a story, we plan to continue it further,” Nomura-san told Siliconera.

The FFXV game director said this will allow his team to develop the latest entry in the RPG series without worrying about whether the story and contents can be squeezed into just one title.

“As for as how it will be released, we’ll announce that later on; however, having you wait a long while for a next title isn’t something we would desire…” he said. “Also, we’ve been exploring online compatibilities ever since the shift towards the next-generation hardware was decided.”

Final Fantasy XV was announced at Sony’s E3 press conference on Tuesday. The game was formally known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII and was planned to ship exclusively for PlayStation 3; however, it will now arrive on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Do you welcome the idea of FFXV receiving multiple titles to continue its storyline? Let us know in the comments section below.

Posted May 22nd, 2013 at 04:36 EDT by Mike Harradence3 Comments

Electronic Arts has announced that it will present a first look at its plans for the Star Wars franchise at E3 next month.

The publishing giant snapped up the rights to the ‘core’ Star Wars titles a few weeks back. And, while details on the projects have been kept under wraps ever since, EA looks set to finally break silence at E3.

“Our E3 briefing…will be a showcase of next-generation games like Battlefield 4, Need For Speed, a full range of EA Sports games and a first look at our plans for the Star Wars partnership with Disney,” said EA Labels overlord, Frank Gibeau.

Development of the Star Wars games will be facilitated by an all-new DICE studio based in Los Angeles. EA confirmed that the titles will be powered by Frostbite 3, and won’t see the light of day until FY2014.

EA will host its E3 press event on June 10.

PS4 version of Gran Turismo 6? 'We do have plans for PS4,' confirms Yamauchi

You are here: Home » News » Gran Turismo 6 » PS4 version of Gran Turismo 6? '...

Posted May 18th, 2013 at 16:24 EDT by Kyle Prahl6 Comments

The biggest PlayStation news of this last week was the announcement of Gran Turismo 6 for PlayStation 3. The reveal seemed weird to some--why would GT6 launch on PS3 with PlayStation 4 right around the corner? Any confusion was cleared up when SCEE CEO Jim Ryan revealed that Gran Turismo 5 had to date sold 10 million units on PS3.

Still, it seems that a PS4 version of Gran Turismo 6 is pretty likely after all. Earlier this week, we reported that Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi told IGN that his studio had a PS4 version of GT6 "in mind." In an interview with GTPlanet, Yamauchi elaborated, indicating that a planned PS4 version may be more concrete than simply "in mind."

bold added for emphasis

When asked why Polyphony decided to focus on PS3 as the release platform, Yamauchi answered, "We do have plans for PS4, but, of course, we have an order of things. First we’ll be releasing the PS3 version for the PS3, which has a huge audience already, and we’ll be providing updates every month and DLCs every month." He continued: "Once players have played it all out and enjoyed themselves on the PS3, then the PS4 version might come out naturally around that time. Focus on enjoying the PS3 version."

Which leaves Gran Turismo fans wondering: how far apart will the games come out? Is it worth buying the PS3 version if you're also planning to buy a PS4 launch? Until we hear more, it will be hard to say, but E3 2013 may have some answers. We'll be covering the event live here at PSU.com, so stay tuned for coverage and give us your thoughts on Gran Turismo 6's ambiguous release plans in the comments below.
