Hey man, I hear you and agree with pretty much everything you said because that's the way it should be. And what you're saying is 100% logical. But one thing I've seen this generation when it comes to developers and their relationship with the big M and S is that logic has been turned up on its head.
So even though I agree with what you're saying, I can't REALLY agree with what your saying. I can't shake that gut feeling that M$ has a little more pull in the gaming industry th...
"Seems Square Enix has been lying to us. Remember the exciting battle footage from E3 2006? It's all false.In the long-awaited JPRG's final guise there are no sleek real-time menus, no mini-maps and no MP."
Of course. That version was supposed to be a PS3 exclusive optimized for the PS3. But when M$ pushed its money paws into the equation, Square had to make some decisions. From the day it was announce to be going multiplatform I gave up on the version we were shown....
Talking about a retarded way to think only about yourself when making a retarded point.
Have you ever stopped to think about how many people there are outside of Japan who can speak, are studying, or just plain like the sound of Japanese who can't understand every single word? Outside your realm of understanding, there are a lot of people who would like to have both English and the original Japanese. You expect them to buy two copies of the game and be happy about it when the a...
No, we can't have another Grand Theft.
FF was originally a PS3 game that M$ dipped their dollar coated fingers into, so by all rights they should. But we all know that dollars speak louder than fans, and that's the hand that has been played.
Developers are more willing to tip the scales to M$'s satisfaction because M$ is more likely to put up the green for current, and more importantly, future projects.
When was the last time you saw a developer tip the...
He!!, 60% of all the games I own are in Japanese (no joke).
Even if I WAS considering FF for the 360, that news alone just put a big "X" on that one!
Way to lose a customer you never had M$!
The DAY AFTER M$ pushed the deal on them, Square had to start deciding how they were gonna gimp the game.
As far as we know, voices could be the very least of what was cut from the original plan for the game.
AND by dividing their development resources, they also pushed back the production schedule. Waiting longer for less is the way I see it...
PLUS you guys in the West got NO demo.
I wish they could have just held out for FFXIV when they'...
Well, I'm playing the demo now and all I can say is DAMN is it fun! Definitely one of the best demos I've played on either system. Regardless of platform, blocking the demo in the US over corporate greed alone is a GREAT disservice to American gamers.
Sony or Microsoft, I don't care, some companies just need to stop playing the money hand all the time and just let the game cycle run it's course.
It's gonna be great game on any system. Unless someone decides to sta...
I'd hate Vista even if I was the only one. I've lost business because of it. I've had it for almost 2 years now, and I hate it even more now then I did when I first started my computer.
And it's not just security blah, blah like everyone says. Everything on down to the way the new start menu is designed was poorly conceived. And I truly, TRULY hate the fact that I cannot, no matter how hard I try, delete so many random files.
After losing multiple business acco...
And yet, for some reason, Gametrailers didn't even find it worth a nomination for story of the year in '08.
I can understand the far chances of not getting story of the year, but not even a nomination?!? GT lost all credibility for their GOTY Awards for me on that one.
I think it depends on who made the commercial. If it was paid for AND MADE BY Microsoft, then it's completely understandable not to include the competitors logo.
But if the commercial was made by Capcom, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY GET THERE MONEY FROM, as an honest producer and publisher of the game, they should include ALL the systems that the game is available for. Even if that should includes the PC or Wii. Not doing so would be misleading to the public.
However,...
I WAS being sarcastic!
Sorry, I really didn't think you had to actually spell the word out for everybody to see it!
I know 360degrees is an idiot just as much as everybody else!
I just don't think he really bought the game. Was it that hard to catch?
EDIT: Oh, I get it...It's the Ferrari Fanbois!
Don't worry, I know Ferrari's aren't made out of plastic f(^o^)
Why is this a story that got passed? Sony never said the PS4 wouldn't come out within that 10 years. Playstation life spans have always overlapped.
PS1 were being sold well into the PS2's lifespan, PS2s are still being sold today. So why does the introduction of the PS4 have anything to mean that the PS3's lifespan is suddenly going to be cut short?
I mean, did both of your parents die the day you were born? I should hope not. If the PS4 comes out sooner than e...
It's ok 360degrees. I feel your pain. Just yesterday I bought Mario Kart...uh, no...an iPho...um, better yet, a Ferrari and HATED IT! I mean it drives like a tank, the steering doesn't work and I could barely get the thing up to do the speed limit! So I took it back well, yesterday.
EVERYBODY PLEASE DON'T BUY FERRARI'S!
THEY'RE MADE OF PLASTIC (>_<)!!!
Hope I helped you get your point across 360.
I thought Boll was leading this project!
When did Hayter or even Kojima get any say in this???
EDIT:
And wait! He didn't even mention Boll once?!? This interview has got to be fake. If I were Boll, I'd be screaming lawsuit!
"No they didn't. First of all, GTA was never Sony's TOP IP. And who do you think paid for the timed exclusivity of the GTA titles last gen? Uhm, that wold be Sony. And yet you don't seem to have a problem with that."
I never said GTA was the Playstation's "top" IP, but it was definately one of them. GTA3's success was made on the PS2 and a lot of PS2's were sold because of GTA3. And I also guess you missed the part where I said that Microsoft is not the only...
I did like MGS4 though. It really had a lot of game play variety which kept it fun. But on the other hand, although I have no intention to buy Halo Wars, I do love a good story.
EDIT:
Wait! Why can't I hear their voices!?!? B!tch!!!
Microsoft never bought ANYTHING directly from Sony. But they have put down MASSIVE amounts of money to move Sony's top IP's AWAY from Sony and ONTO the 360. Case in point, GTA. Sure it wasn't owned by Sony, and maybe not a Sony exclusive, but when most people thought GTA, they thought of the Playstation, not XBox. Microsoft put down A LOT of money to make sure that was no longer the case. Same with DMC, same with FF, same with RE and Star Ocean and I'm sure a few others. Call it a hunch...
Are there any publishers out there that are planning on building Home spaces BEFORE their games drop? I had kind of expected that would have been a good idea from the beginning. I mean, instead of using it as just some extra out-of-game content, couldn't a decent Home space be an excellent tool to peek interest for a games release? I always thought that Home spaces could work just like interactive movie trailers, so to speak.
Killzone could have had like some kind of mock recr...
Can't wait to get my hands on this one, but that commercial was weak. They need to ditch that narration. Listening to him talk was like drinking sand. And some music that fits the story better would have been nice.
If there was no picture, I could have easily mistaken this for a commercial for 'The English Patient'.
They need to get people EXCITED about buying this one.
@SpoonyRedMage
True, except for that fact that what ever adjustments that have to be made so that it can fit into the Xbox have to be made to the actual game itself, and that is totally independent of and true across all regions.
For example, if a particular effect was in the game and then later found that it couldn't be done on the Xbox due to power, size or whatever reason, then that effect has to be taken out of the source code of the game REGARDLESS of region. S...
