That's all an HD version ever is, just a remastering. That's what the MGS collection was, that's what the forthcoming ZOE one is.
Kind of thought we'd had the conversation before, but it's not a filter either. They have to re-work everything about the graphics. There's a helluva lot more work to it than you're implying.

well for the sake of argument, both require work but one requires a whole lot more.

^What image should impress me the most?

I guess number 2 (Halo) but I swear number 1 (MG) does a better job at it, hehe.

Cheers for the advice. I thought I was doing better after repairing all my gear but now there's a dragon boss that completely killed me with just one attack. Hmmm.

Got back into Duodecim again lately. Here's a fight I had that I thought was pretty cool

^^Awesome. I'd almost forgotten how cool Dissidia fights can look. Been so long since I last played it.
Nice-looking footage too, by the way. I really need to sit down one day and seriously figure out how to record from my PSP like that. It's just all the business of different firmwares and all that... gives me a damn headache.

So first Square-Enix is going to complain that they can't make a game that reaches the same critical and financial success as ff13 then declares they're going to keep going with the ff13 story. Rumors keep swirling that Versus was cancelled with assets folded into another game and on of the biggest games in the series still hasn't made it outside Japan.

So on top of completely abandoning you know EVERYTHING that made Final Fantasy what it is, they're also focusing on some of the worst cliches, tropes and just generally badly written characters in the series and to pour alittle more doodoo butter on this shit salami they're going to shove up our asses they're "committed" to DLC.

I never thought I'd say this, but I might be done with this series.

Not saying it's right, but if it sells that many copies then yeh, I can't fault them for making more. I just feel that the bubble has truly burst with the whole XIII 'series'. People got burned initially on XIII, and those who stuck around with XIII-2 lived in hope that it would be a better game, and it was, but probably realised the story and setting was pretty lackluster to continue supporting it. Unless there's some radical changes with XIII-3 (Christ...) like a new setting, a new approach and what have you, then I don't think fans will buy it.

As for Versus XIII, it would make much more sense to rename it as XV at this point. It looks dramatically different enough from XIII to warrant the name change, and I doubt anyone will care. The cancellation probably also goes back to a point I had made way back when I said that the type of game Versus XIII was going to be is too ambitious for current gen consoles given the amount of time and money that's needed to make a full HD FF game with world map and all the unique assets that SE needs to build.

Its a comedy of errors. FF13-2 was better then 13, but it was also worse. Large HD worlds are completely possible, Blue Dragon, Assassin's Creed, Tales of Xillia, theres countless examples of studios making these huge HD worlds with less money (and in the case of Xenoblade weaker heardware) Then theres the circus that is their upper management. Publicly criticizing and sabotaging each other.

We can talk about fans, expectations and money but theres no more excuses. Any flack they get is pretty well deserved now.
