The only thing left from square enix is FF.
And, who really cares about FF? All the people behind FF are gone. SE surely cares more about LR than FF now.
FF is dead.
Long live the JRPG Box.
Star Ocean 4 == Xbox 360 exclusive == Wow.
@19.1
Why on earth would you buy a PS3?
No one cares about the heat problems. It's been about a year since they fixed the heat issues. And, everyone gets a free fix. This is **MUCH** better service than Sony gave with all the broken PS2s.
Stop talking FUD. no one cares. Oh, did I mention that Star Ocean 4 is Xbox 360 exclusive?!
All the people involved in the earlier FF games have left SE.
FF is on its 13th (!) game, there is not a single narrative.
Who the Fcuk cares about FF now? The Last Remnant is Xbox 360 and PS3 -- LR **will** be more important to SE than FF because LR has a much bigger target market than FF.
FF is dead. FF doesnt matter.
Star Ocean 3 is "Till the End of Time".
This Xbox 360 exclusive is Star Ocean 4.
OMFG! Star Ocean 4 on Xbox 360!
Massive win.
Any reviewer who went on the All Expenses Paid Junket to Japan (or Paris) ARE NOT CREDIBLE.
Konami is destroying game journalism with this garbage.
Yes, they gave an very very fancy fully-paid vacation to 16 "JOURNALISTS".
That is called a "Junket" and is a corrupt method to buy reviews.
MS sent *promo* materials to the publications, not the reviewers themselves.
Did you know that Konami **PAID** for people to come on an all expenses paid preview junket about 6 weeks ago?
**That** is dishonest. Bloggers and other low-rent publications were given a FREE vacation in Japan in exchange for giving a good "preview".
Its sad to see you people try and divert attention away from Konami's CLEAR attempt to buy reviews.
Konami has allowed **SOME** people to review the game FIRST. Why? They want to be able to manage the review scores that are put out.
They dont want HONEST reviews, they only want "I'll let you review early" back-room deals in exchange for **good** reviews.
They did the same thing with Haze. Famitsu and PS Magazine Italy were given "early exclusive reviews" -- they also scored the game 34/40 and 9/10! Those reviews were clearly BULLSHIAT. Aft...
That is 100% nonsense.
Reviews should look at **EVERY** element of the enjoyment of a game. And, you're only here making excuses.
How SAD to see you bend over backwards to apologize for the situation. Sheesh, how transparent can you people be?
The game requires **MULTIPLE** installs -- every new act (section/level whatever you want to call it) requires a **NEW** install. Why? Two reasons: So that you can manage the installs, and delete earlier MGS4 ...
@donator
Konami is trying to RIG the process.
1st) They organized an all expenses paid junket for "exclusive previews".
2nd) They arranged a group of "early exclusive reviews" to buy "early good reviews" actually. ("lets give "early exclusive reviews" to places we know we can get a good review")
3rd) They try and tell the reviewers to skip over technical issues - trying to CENSOR the reviews.
...
And it is TERRIFIC to see EGM standing up to Konami! Good for them.
Konami has been rigging the MGS4 reviews from the start.
First, they invited a select group for an all-expenses paid junket to see the game. In the Movie/Music/Book review world, this basically means: "We'll give you a vacation, in exchange for good press".
THEN, they game "early exclusive reviews" to some outlets. JUST like happened with HAZE, the first two re...
Yeah, totally. MGS4 isnt any good! amirite?
Its not like GTAIV had a story hardly at all. Who is this "Niko" and "roman" guy anyway!?
MGS4 Game of the Century!1!
No! Of course not.
Because the internets are out to hurt the PS-Triple. Everyone knows that there is a conspiracy to keep the PS-Triple down.
Heck, I'm going to go with the impartial and insightful analyists over at that bastion of gaming journalism "psextreme.com" and say "by god it SHOULD!"
Who cares if we havent played it!?! MGS4 Is going to be the best game in tha Univers!1!one!! MGS4 cured my cancer!1!one!!1!
Delisting the games is a bad idea, I dont know why they would.
Secondly, it is just flat wrong to say "the poor quality of XBLA content."
Because in total, there are vastly more **GOOD** games on XBLA than Wii or PSN.
Without a doubt, sure, not every game is a home-run hit, but there are many many exceptional games - without a doubt.
"its almost like console discrimination"
You cannot be serious.
Jesus you people are delusional.
Its a review. MGS4 is 8/10 from Eurogamer. Big deal.
Did you people think that everyone *must* give 11/10 to this game simply because you *wish* it to "be the bestest game in the history of the universe OMG!11!one!"?
You people are going to be *wildly* disappointed when these "exclusive early revi...
Its a conspiracy!
MS owns Eurgamer!
8/10??1? OMG!1!one! this game is 11/10!!1!
Ridiculous. Pathetic.
you people havent even **PLAYED** the game yet. N4G a home for the utterly clueless sony cheerleader.
The only reviews that have been disclosed thusfar are **EARLY EXCLUSIVE REVIEWS** take a breath you people. Wait until there are 20-30 reviews and then go look at the metacritic score.
If you think 8/10 is the lowest...
The game already looks terrific. Epic scale. Fantastic technology. No one is promising anything more than what they are going to deliver.
Fable 2 -- the best WRPG of 2008.
