Killzone, FIFA, COD, and Watch Dogs is 200K away from hitting it after its first week. BF4, Ass Creed and inFamous are bound to hit 2 million as well by the end of the year I'd imagine.

This seriously deserves its own thread. Holy crap.
Thanks for putting everything into perspective. Just, wow!

and what if I hate MMOs and don't give two shits about some music game and another game I already played years ago?
Thanks for the compliments guys
Any mod can feel free to split off the topic and make a new one with my post so that the "un/misinformed" may find the information easier.
Tetsuya, if you read this (you won't hehe) I'm not mad, just make sure the game is great and... it actually releases.

Haha I wouldn't be surprised. Tbh I wish they would have said not to expect anything for a long while instead of egging us on this whole time. From SgtCobra's timeline, it seems like every few years, when talk of the game starts to die down, SE makes a fuss about it and sets people up for false expectations :/

Holy fuck, is Square horribly managed or what? Who's fault is this? Someone should be fired. Is this all Tetsuya Nomura's fault? How can he be director of two big budget games at once (FFXV & KH3)?
No offense Kagari but that doesn't excuse the way in which this has been managed. Their fan base (which they have created from the originals) has gotten older,married, and had children almost throughout the "development" of this title. If that doesn't give you perspective then that means you have your own priorities and that's different. Doesn't mean that it's justifiable for this title to still be up in limbo. Granted it could be released next year for all we know but peoples' frustration at this point is sort of expected
He's co-directing both games now.
Wow, so this AND Kingdom Hearts III are a no show at this years E3?
.....Guess both are in development hell, as expected (....really, REALLY stupid in FFXV case, its been in development for a DECADE at this point X(). Great job Square, the two games people are looking forward to the most aren't going to be there :l.
I guess this might be due to Square having more projects to announce from their western side? I new Tomb Raider and Deus Ex would be nice to have on PS4 this year.
Either way though it is really embarrassing in their case; the game that SHOULD be the most ready is going to be pushed onto the PS5 at this point....

KHIII is only known to have been in development since last year (I think) so I wouldn't worry about that yet. There has actually been more new stuff for KHIII than XV since last E3 lol

Would anyone else not be shocked if KH3 was released before FF15?
Also this to a degree. You created a particular fan base then sour it with sequels of mixing receptions. I mean it really defies business sense
Edit: FFXI and FFXIV have however been popular so at least for the FF franchise those are positives

And according to Takahashi Xenoblade was only roughly 5% of his vision of a game he would like to make. And yes he did say he did not go with a complex story for Blade. He went with a more simple one. What Project X's story will be like is yet to be determined. If a Godly RPG story can mesh with Blade's gameplay I will be very happy.

Japanese developers like Square and Team ICO need a serious shake-up. These games should not be taking nearly (or over) a decade from announcement to release.
There must be some atricious mismanagement going on. I suspect that in the case of FFXV, it was put on the back burner while the FFXIII-2 & -3 were made.
This was a massive waste of resources that could have otherwise been wisely spent working towards multiple main-line, new final fantasy titles concurrently like what used to happen during the PS1 era.
Why they started straying away from that philosophy, I have no freaking idea.

This should already be obvious to anybody with common sense, but from this point forward, regardless of what you see from this game whenever it decides to show itself, you should probably temper your expectations until it actually comes out and people are able to properly dissect it. You'd be foolish to still be on any sort of hype train for this game after the mess it has been through.

I can't believe I haven't seen this, LOL
I'm still hyped. I want this game so badly that I will buy it even if ign gave it a 1 out of 10. Just so it wouldn't be vaporware anymore. I need to hold it in muh hands.
I think the real story of XV is that it never took a decade. They tried to make a big open world game with the same image quality and graphics as XIII, but they literally couldn't do it with the combination of Crystal Tools and Cell Processor programming. XIII was linear probably for that reason, and subsequent entries with more open world levels increased load times and decreased graphical quality.
So, they basically had to scrap the game and start over to hit PS4. The PS4 version hasn't been worked on for a decade. The game even has a title change now, so people more accurately would just be thinking of it as a new game. I get fully why they don't, but I think they basically just started over.
They're not that slow once they get going now. XIV: ARR only took them 2 years, and MMOs are more complicated to make. XV will be shown this year, according to them. I think things will be a whole lot smoother going forward. Kingdom Hearts III won't take a decade either.

I don't see it like this necessarily. I think the game design is over ambitious and the team bit off more than they could chew in a reasonable time. But the final game may be amazing.
Still, who knows.
Games like Braverly Default show they've still got talent. Maybe the best thing for SE would be back to scale back some of their visual ambitions. It's always been a trademark of their games to push visual boundaries but it's clearly been a problem since the 7th gen, possibly even the 6th gen. They've got tons of talent, and great art can overcome some graphical weaknesses.

Oh my gawd, freaking epic post. I wonder how much unwarranted delays all the awful XIII games and XIV caused XV, if you take away SE's collective struggles with HD development...
I'm really, really hoping it not appearing this E3 is a fake-out for a mega surprise reveal. T_T

dragon quest exclusive for ps4 of course
the remaining bottles of Noctis perfume and multiple belts signed by Nomura.
I don't think Versus was delayed for XIII-2 and LR. If you think about it, that doesn't really make any sense at all. Toriyama and Kitase both said the sequels were never planned during the initial game. Versus was already planned.
What is far more likely, in my humble opinion, is that Versus was in development hell and they couldn't get it to run on PS3 and Crystal Tools with the quality they wanted. After that fact was clear, they asked Toriyama to make sequels quickly and cheaply to tide them over because Versus was dead and needed to be scrapped and restarted on PS4. They had to scrap XIV too and couldn't get it to run on PS3 either until they remade the game.

Based on last years trailer i didn't like the direction they seemed to be taking XV in, hope this no-show means they are changing some stuff up and making a more standard FF game. I doubt that's the reason though, SE just suck balls these days.

Better chance of seeing Silent Hill 9 revealed by Konami, made by Team Silent.
I would agree with this. I would be happy with SNES sprites again, if it meant games like Chrono Trigger and FF IV/VI.

I asked for the train to stop when I saw GG's new IP wouldn't be there. Only thing this announcement proved was that I don't want to get back on.

They didn't develop Bravely Default. but yeah, talent is not their issue.
I'll take it. Game better be wrapped in belts and smelling of Noctis.

Well of course not.
I mean, the game was only announced in 2006, how can you expect them to have any sort of content to show.
But when TGS arrives, oh boy you should be getting ready because we will get the exact same trailer as last year..... but with ALMOST 30 SECONDS of extra footage.
