Exclusive vs. Multiplatform: The Unnecessary Anger

Oftentimes, news breaks about a previously console-exclusive video game receiving a port to another console. The fanboy gamer response to this is often rage.

@1.1: This type of stuff falls on deaf ears here.. Sorry man.. Try posting it on a gamer site or forum.

Saaking5978d ago (Edited 5978d ago )

Look at UC2, HR, KZ2, GOWIII etc. When compared to any other games (except Crysis) they are above and beyond. They show that the PS3 CAN and WILL deliver far better and TRUE next generation games. That's what pisses me off about exclusives going multiplat. They loose all potential.

Just look at FFXIII. It went from the revolutionary JRPG savior into just another average JRPG. When did that happen? The moment it was announced to be going multiplat.

TheBand1t5978d ago (Edited 5978d ago )

FFXIII's lameness has less to due with going multiplat and more to do with the fact Square-Enix as a whole is decidedly sh!t by comparsion to it's former self.

You could be working with the most advanced system in the world, and you couldn't save your game from bad design choices.

Ps3 exclusives look good

Multiplats generally dont

Why are people speaking about FF13 as if they have played it already?

FarEastOrient5978d ago

I played the Japanese version of FFXIII, I like it so far and can only understand 30-40% of it meaning my understanding of Japanese is lacking. From what I got so far; Uncharted 2 has better physics, White Knight Story has a larger world (meaning I can cross with my character, example towns in WKS), and sorry I can not talk about the story just yet.

What FFXIII beats them all so far is the hotness of all the chicks! The girl with glasses can make me a prisoner any day >.< The hair, finally someone has gone above the hair in Heavenly Sword...

So far FFXIIIvs real-time cut scenes are in a contest in beating FFXIII cg fmvs.

There is a necessary anger here. The 360 is usually the lead console for developers, because it's "easier" to work with, so the PS3 gets a 360-quality port. The PS3 is capable of a lot more than the 360, but we still get the same crap from the same lazy developers.

KILLERAPP5979d ago

They are like mad sheep who feed of of each other. You can reason with them.

The Wii sell because "Mothers/Grand mothers" want something safe for their kids. Nintendo has got the casual market down to a science and fortunately or unfortunately, that's the majority. The 10+ million who bought Modern Warfare 2 are generally not wii fans.

Im just not happy that a game not saying which one but could be easily guessed has been downgraded from what we have seen before just so it can fit on the 360. I dont think not having towns was a design choice but neccesary just so the 360 can keep it at 4 discs instead of 5. The game has been downgraded alot and thats what ps3 fans are angry about.

GiantEnemyCrab5979d ago

Boy I just love it when PS3 folks "guess". They do it all the time and what do you know it usually involves the 360 doing something negative to effect what would have been brilliant had it been a PS3 exclusive.

Yet I play Infamous and see a world 1/2 the size of MP games like AC2 and GTA.

It couldn't be the dev, it just has to be the 360.

Bigpappy5978d ago

Wasn't FF on the PS2, PS1 and N64? On all of those consoles there were cities. Your point is what again? Buy the way ME2 will have many cities, even better many planets. It will only be on 2 disk. Square just screwed up all by themselves. They wanted to add new ideas, they just didn't run them pass you first.

JD_Shadow5978d ago

I found more fun and more things to do IN that "half-GTA" world, though. I can't say anything about AC2 yet (though I wish I could. I want to get it), though there IS a PSP/PS3 connectivity quirk that the 360 version of that game obviously doesn't have.

Godmars2905978d ago

Um, when was a FF title ever on the N64? Pretty sure FFVII~X were PS exclusive.

Are still PS exclusive.

You mean that playing with playstation for 15 years & having your favorite games be delayed for the xbox360 that broke 3 times won't piss you off? Even worse when the quality suffers & games become shorter & the DLC is sold in episodes finally adding up to the price of another game won't piss you off when the ps3 has 50gb of storage on the disc. Oh yeah, let me open up my butt wide & take it. /S!

Am I really going to spend hundreds of dollars on another xbox360 & be tied down to a xboxlive bill just because I can't wait a year for more bonus content & get involved in brand new ip's & newer genres. That's such a hard desicion & even harder to make since ps3 uses lag free dedicated servers & has psp compatibilty, home with free games, a Internet browser, a bluray player & about 50 to 100 true Sony developed exclusives. Who needs that right?

I don't know about you guys but I actually read the back of a ps3 box once before I bought it. I wonder if the media has too?

Bigpappy5978d ago (Edited 5978d ago )

and that is where the poop is suppose to come out./s! You don't have to let anyone do that to you. PS3 games take longer to make. No even PS3 exclusives are 50 Gig. PS3 also gets downloadable content for exclusives(UC2). Looks like you are spreading for anyone who wants some./s? Should I go on?
