Final Fantasy 13 (XIII) [PS2 – Prototype]

Final Fantasy 13 was released in 2009 for Playstation 3, but the first prototypes for the game were created on Ps2 even before FFXII release. In this page we can see some pics from the old-gen version that were recently published in two official japanese artbooks / guides.

Unfortunately, it seems that Square did only some early testing of the battle system before switching the development to the Ps3. Even the characters (Yuna and Rikku from FFX) are placeholders, but, interestingly, in the last screenshots they appear to be cell-shaded.

Thanks to Proto1 for the contribution!

Wizard of Funk is a cancelled RPG that was in development in 2005 by Playlogic for the Playstation 2 EyeToy add-on. As we can read from the original press release, the player would have take the role of a young wizard, to physically cast spells in front of the EyeToy Camera to defeat his enemies. The game vanished from Playlogic’s release list without any official statement but we can speculate that it was cancelled for quality reasons.

Do you remember Soulstar X, the cancelled shoot ’em up that was in development for the Sega 32X and the Jaguar CD? It was a sequel / remake of the original Soulstar a pseudo 3D space shooter released in 1994 for the Sega Mega CD. A playable prototype of Soulstar X was found sometime ago and sold on Ebay to various collectors, but only today, thanks to the Sega Saturno community, this build is finally leaked for everyone to enjoy! You can download the prototype in the Sega Saturno Forum (you need to be registered to be able to download the file). Huge props to the Sega Saturno guys for this new release!
