Kim: Yeah, but here’s the thing: I think one of the most important, subtle announcements at the Xbox 360 briefing is that Resident Evil is coming to Xbox 360. Yes, it’s from Capcom, who’s been a great supporter of us.

GI: But we knew that two years ago.

Kim: What?

GI: Resident Evil. It was shown at TGS two years ago.

Kim: No, but coming to Xbox 360.

GI: Yeah. It was at the press event.

Kim: I don’t think so.

GI: I’m positive. I was there.

Kim: Really?

GI: It was shown at both press conferences.

Kim: That RE5 was coming to…?

GI: Yep.

Kim: I’m going to have to confirm that. That was supposed to be the big announcement

    you'll notice my location, good sir.

    But yes, i too already knew this was coming to the 360, and was more surprised because the trailer looked like MGS4.

    I understand you're pushing the XBox, but what exactly makes the Wii not a great platform for a Final Fantasy epic?
    If Final Fantasy can be epic on the Nintendo, SNES, PS1, and PS2, it can be epic on the Wii. Does he think the 360 brings something to the table that the Wii has no hope of matching outside of graphics?
    note: I love the 360 as much as the Wii, it just seemed out of place when he's trying to give reasons for developers to support the 360.

    FF13 is running the UE3 engine I think. That does not run on the Wii.

    Actually didnt FF13 have a proprietary engine but then they licensed the UE3 engine? Im not sure.

    Either way, FF games have always pushed graphics first over gameplay, hence the FMVs in a lot of games. Wii pushes gameplay over graphics.

    FF13 and Versus 13 are on the White Engine (developed in-house at Squeenix).

    Squeenix licensed UE3 and is using it for Last Remnant.

    yeah because the graphics on the snes versions were way better than the gameplay....

    Dont start this retarded argument.

    If a Final Fantasy game does come to wii then so be it, but with the direction squeenix is taking the franchise they seem to prefer the more powerful consoles like the ps3.

    Seems like everyone knew this but him. I distinctly remember being happy that RE5 was coming to the 360 when they originally announced it.

    And FF titles have been some of the best looking on a given system since the fucking NES, so the "OLOL graphics > gameplay" crap is retarded. Square has pushed for making FF titles great looking from the very first, so it's not too surprising that they continue to put them on the most powerful system (or stick with a given system, as they did with ps2, even when it wasn't the most powerful)

    edit: the only FF title coming to the Wii is Crystal Chronicles which isn't really what he meant in that quote.

    Actually, its not that they have to be better per say, but they were always a big issue. Graphically, the SNES versions were certainly above the par.


    I'm ignoring the part about graphics over gameplay, because that just an opinion-fest, although I suppose one could say that each successive game has had a major change in the visual and the changes in the gameplay have been minor, but that's a null point that can also be made about most sequel games.
