I'm not whining about how SE is growing up into one major developing tycoons in the gaming industry. It's just good for business in pure sense. What I do not get is, how come SE, despite being endowed with these monetary opportunities, have failed as of the moment to even come close to creating the epic games they did before. Square Co. did the FF series, while Enix did the Dragon Quest Series without a budget as big as they have right now. If they did quality games back then...

SE sure will get a lot of $ going multi-plat.

Many have swallowed already the FFXIII-to-360-jawdropper that led to the delay of the PS3 version, but with Infinite Discovery and Last Remnant...

Boy! SE sure did lose some of it's good rep.

As one guy from N4G commented, SE is fastly becoming the EA of Japan. They get money constantly that they don't mind already how good or crappy their games are.

Sometimes crossovers work, sometimes they don't.

As said so many times, It's a new IP. You shouldn't compare it to blockbuster sequels. It will sell progressively perhaps in small numbers, unlike the latter which could be sold out in just a matter of days.

Remember ICO? Though it was critically acclaimed , it did not sell in great numbers. All I know it was a great game that I played.

Bottomline: Everyone should just play and enjoy a great game, and do away with the numbers. Leave that problem to the developers and...

LOL. Gamer Limit has just used N4G as its lab rat.

Yup the same guy draws the ire a lot of people, but ditto... he's amazing. He's as badass as his creations.

Makes me wonder...If FFXIII was originally developed for the PS3.. and we all know that SE held back the launching of the PS3 version so that they could also finish a 360 version first and launch both simultaneously..Could it be possible that SE might have "nerfed" the PS3 version to make up for what the 360 counterpart couldn't pull off ?

Let's say some Crystal Tools aka "White Engine" limitations since the engine was originally made for the PS2 then for the...

Call it hardcore. Call it casual. Call it whatever you like. It's just plain video gaming.

Geez. With the way SE games have fared recently, FFXIII might not even take the "Best RPG of 2009" Crown.

Too early to tell. There's plenty to consider: KZ2, GOW3, etc. There is no need to debate on this as of the moment. GOTY 2008 hasn't even been decided yet. My money's on MGS4 though. Instant Classic.

Its about time he gets lauded and honored for being one of the great minds in the gaming industry. And mind you guys he said that he won't retire! Yipee. Cant wait for his next game.

Though this is just a rumor, I am definitely sure plenty of people will be happy to get their KZ2 Bundle.

I am not a hypocrite. I read/watch game previews and reviews. They are important, but they do not ultimately determine my decision to buy a game.

Demos, Betas, Referrals, and actual gameplay clips help a lot.

"Blu-Ray appears to offer far more than what amounts to an outdated format in this day and age."

Of course, see what happened to Last Remnant on 360--- Multi-DVD.
See what happened to MGS4 on PS3 ---1 Blu-Ray.

Now see what's gonna happen to FFXIII on 360?

I think you have to free up some space there on your shelf.

Sony did not shove the Blu-Ray drive into their console for the sole reason of HD movies. HD movies were just com...

I would be lying if I say this game isn't overhyped. I would be lying too if I say this game isn't of uber awesome quality.

They sure did. Lol, I almost forgot about the mullet.

Btw, I forgot the Master Chief ain't cool enough to pull out a copy of Playboy and flip some pages of it while in the heat of warfare.

That's true. I wonder why Sony and Insomniac wanted R2 to come out the same week as GeoW2, if the former only in NA while the latter worldwide. They could've just planned for a worldwide release.

The truth is I'm not bothered at all if GeoW2 sales beats R2 sales by a huge amount. Kudos to people who got their hands on R2 and Gears2 first. I just want to have my own copy. I'll just have to wait then.

Solid all the way,he's more badass, plus Master Chief doesn't have the macho mustache.

And I bet Master Chief can't fit inside a cardboard box.

Overhyped? yes. Under delivered? No. And I don't even have a 360. I think multiplayer matchmaking issues can be fixed.
