In what way have they alienated their fan base? It's not their fault if their fanbase were a bunch of pathetic people who can't hack that it's gone multi is it? Those people are laughed at...capcom did it rockstar did it namco did it, so freakin what? It's hardly selling out when it just makes much more sense to make them for the one that sells the most copies of all games (including the former playstation ones) How did they sell out? Just cos they don't wanna release it on one console and lo...
"The bad thing is by going partially exclusive on the 360 they've lost their respect amongst Playstation gamers as well as Japanese gamers."
That's not respect what your talking about. I don't respect Epic cos Gears is a 360 exclusive, more that they make good games. Playstation owners that feel betrayed need to stop weeping that more people can enjoy games that they enjoy. What's the problem with that? If PS3 got all the 360 exclusives so what?! I wouldn't lose respect for t...
What are you talking about? I know those games were made in house you fool, all I said was that those are noway representative of how amazin FF13 will turn out 2 be. When did I say that it's fine that those games are rubbish. It's a shame yeah, but Square were gaining experience at programming on the 360 which they'll need for FF13. They brought those games out in a ridiculous time frame, which showed how little they meant to Square, showing gameplay straight away when it was announced and al...
Yeah whatever mate, U heard different? From who exactly? Just had a look and turns out ur wrong. Y tell me to check it myself if U have no idea?
"just doesn't rise to the standards set by today's best shooters"
So true it hurts, like the first, a mediocre attempt. Lets hope Killzone 2 is as good as it's graphics
By having something that's actually unique. (like the wii) Touchscreen is a cool feature, as is dual-screening. Will it see off Apple? They're probably laughing at Apples attempts...
Yeah you keep telling urself this
"Picking up a used copy of GTA IV for PLAYSTATION®3 is nearly impossible due to superior sales upon release"
That sentence alone shows how clever you are...it's sold twice as many on the 360. But yeah go back to ur 'graphically superior' console. While you're at it, go check out the latest gamespot head-to-head and read how much bull that actually is...
Who else makes JRPGS? So yeah they are. Just cos they made a couple of 360 games that weren't great doesn't mean they suck. Just means they're gettin used to it. FF13 will be nowhere near that poor, it'll be immense
LR and Infinite Undiscovery were made in such little time, one was basically released before it was announced, it's clear that they weren't a big deal of Square, more that they were gettin used to the 360. FF13 going to 360 isn't gonna be the same, they'll do it properly cos it's their main franchise. It's hardly a terrible mistake making it for a console with a bigger install base, cos just like most titles, it'll sell sweetly on the 360
As for XBL users we're screwed? We can just get a Japanese account 2 so dunno how ur workin that out...
"Because Capcom is located in Japan?" What's that got to do with anything? If they're putting it on LIVE and PSN then why can't they do it everywhere? Japan's a small market, release it to the rest of us
What do you think this article is about? Nowhere has proof that it's sold a million. Sony haven't announced that it has and they'd probably be the first 2. More importantly, 1 million in a month for a game that is critically acclaimed is kind of a flop. Gears sold over 2 million on day 1 so by comparison it should've done better. Guess it's not everyone's cup of tea
Japan only would suck! Y don't they let the people who are gonna buy the majority of copies play it?
He's just a foul-mouthed bellend. He may have made one good game but why does he need to swear so much?
Why all the disagrees? Pretty much everyone can see that 360 has more high quality games...I don't get how you can disagree with that? Other than MGS4 what playstation games are especially good?
It's winning as in it has sold more and has the best games, which is good enough for me. Getting ff13 on board has helped a lot
In that case it's higher...
What? Who isn't waiting? Sony can campaign all they want, I'm not spunkin £300 on a console that has less good games than a 360...Y would I? What would they market? That it's a blu-ray player? Great...
lol those are AAA? Maybe u can see why I said that now. Motorstorm? Jesus! Resistance 2 got mediocre reviews mostly, probably cos it's like the first one, mediocre. Please don't try to argue that the first one was AAA, jeeze.
Sorry I'm English so I pay more, I didn't realise it was cheaper across the pond. GTA4 was announced as coming to the 360 WAY before the DLC was announced. So it wasn't stolen. U can't steal a game that doesn't belong to a company. These are third party titles. If the developers make them for multiple consoles, how is that stealing? Like you said it's the install base and attach rate that devs look at. If you think this DLC thing was a ploy then that's ur opinion. GTA4 wasn't worse on the 360...
Metal Gear has sold twice as many in the US as in Japan. Same will happen here and since 360 dominates the states, it's a good move for Square
