PSTV DKS3713 report

Via CNG4U.com a NicoVideo user has recored this video of a televisiopn screen at most probably at a Playstation electronics store in Tokyo, as at the top of the TV label it spells "Playstation TV". I recommend seeing the NicoVideo one as its slight better.

Famitsu PS3 – Special DKΣ3713 Report! [Breaking News]

First leak from the upcoming Special Famitsu Report of Square-Enix DKS3713 event that is to go on sale on Tue 2008.08.19 . Tons of info and great news in this special edition of Famitsu PS3 with real time screenshots of Final Fantasy Versus XIII and info of the FFXIII Demo. NeoGaf, PSU.com [Link1] and finalfantasyxiii.net has the info and Scans. I will be uploading more to my flickr to save them.

DKΣ3713 disappointment or Success?

Well Square-Enix DKΣ3713 event is over but how did it really fair with people around the world waiting for something interesting to be announced. Most comments around the net were rather negative espicially about the PS3 version of FFXIII being held back, having to be ported to XBOX360 as the team just received the XBOX360 dev kits a couple of days ago [PSU.com] [playstation.com US Forums /Boards] and that the big FFVII announcement was the FFXIII demo on Blu-Ray of FF7:AC Complete. Check out this comic posted here of fans "waiting for the big FF7 announcement".

I decided to import the Japanese Final Fantasy XIII version, since PS3 is Region free as I have waited quite long to see the game let alone any gameplay of it. I still think SONY still has a lot more going and their investment into quirky PSN games like "The last Guy", "Pixel Junk Eden" and 1st Party games like RESISTANCE will pay off but its still early to see that yet.

Having been following the event online I would have rather covered more anime news instead. Overall I think SQ-E event was still a success as fans got to see upcoming games coming soon and some of it looks good.

However those still thinking Negative, there were still some GOOD News:

Nomura Documentary at DKΣ3713

No pictures here but a nice report from IGN about Nomura giving a video Documentary Behind the scenes look at his upcoming games. he also Reassures that FF XIII main development platform is on the PS3 and will be ported to X360 later. The Designers also debunked rumors of a PC version of FFXIII.

Square Enix fans were thrilled to enter the DKΣ3713 Private Party and check out ten of the company’s most anticipated titles. However, Tetsuya Nomura had an extra surprise for attendees at the event – a behind the scenes documentary filmed at the Square Enix internal studio that was only completed yesterday by Nomura himself at 8:40 in the morning. What seemed rather apparent from the start of the documentary was that Nomura’s filming was a surprise to everyone – many of the designers and character artists seemed shocked that he was taping at all, and were nervous about some of the elements being shown, including some character designs and concept art of Final Fantasy XIII versus the game translation. There was even some gameplay shown of Final Fantasy 13 which highlighted the size and scale of the world.

Beside the 2 nice PSP announcemnets which are Agito XIII and Parasite eve: 3rd Birthday and the FFVII AC Complete blu-ray remake is nice with new re-rendered scenes and added polygon details (yes they are adding more textures to the scenes as seen above!) I am still waiting for something interesting for PS3 owners.
