@Claude

I'm not a fanboy of any kind, i just have noticed that you seem to take pleasure in putting down the PS3 (in PS3 threads no less) and involving the 360 in some way or another... You don't need to own one to be a fanboy you know ;)

Oh well... your choice lol

Of course you'rea fanboy. You first response to me talking abotu a 360 MMO going to the 360 was to call me a 360 fanboy. It takes that kind of illogical approach to solidify your favoritism delusions. That and I have rarely ifever gone into PS3 threads to "put it down" involving the 360. Not that I'm surprised, liek I said, being a fanboy involves some type of delusion to begin with.



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

*sigh* these "I'm not a fanboy, you're the fanboy" conversations are getting boring .. *yawn*

@ libelulle )

Oh , I do clearly see, what you think is written behind the words and ofcourse the websites name "ps3fanboy" makes this interpretation seem even more true, but as I said before it only is just that, an interpretation, and the wording used leaves enough room for different interpretations aswell (that's what I wanted to point out with my posts), so I think your quite harsh reaction was uncalled for.

I don't know why a text that reads "this pretty much confirms that ... game x ... will be released for the PS3" has such a strong taste of "it's PS3 exclusive" to you, for if I say "this pretty much confirmes that GTA4 will be released for the PS3 " it's a true statement, which doesn't deny 360/PC versions,although those aren't mentioned/hinted at.
And in my opinion this site, which focusses on the PS3, doesn't have to explicitely mention other versions, because the potential readers don't seem to be interested in them anyway.



Lafiel,

sorry for my reaction.
In fact, I'm pretty sure we agree each other since the beginning.

I know it is a problem of interpretation, not even my interpretation, but the interpreation of the website itself that believes that because there is "white engine", there is PS3 and no Xbox360 (since they dont mention it)

Like you, I higly doubt this will be a PS3 exclusive too
but the site seems to suggest it will be (they say PS3, and dont say Xbox360), that is why I asked the following question :

Will it be PS3 exclusive ?

and my answer is NO.

Note : even proPS3 website mentions Xbox360 version because we are not anymore in 2006 when all the games where presented as PS3 exclusive games. Now, everybody, online at least, know that the majority of games are multiplateform (look at GTA4) that is why, now in 2008, "on PS3" is an attempt to suggest "PS3 exclusive".



Time to Work !

When did GDC become more exciting than E3?

So many questions to be answered-
Square Enix?
LBP?
Home?
New PS3 slim or 160gb SKU?
Dual Shock 3 release?



 

Around the Network

GearsofWar2
Forza3
Alan Wake
price drop
GTA4 dlc and 2*add-on

or

MarioKart
Wiifit in PAL/NA
new sku (I doubt)
price drop (I doubt)
new peripheric (?)

just to balance the things a little



Time to Work !

Square would be retarded to release anything PS3 exclusive at this point. Even if PS3 outsells 360 by 50k a week(highly unlikely after a price drop for 360) it would take about 3 years just for Sony to catch the 360 in total WW sales.

yeah, 'cause we've all seen how FFXI made a KILLING as a JMMO, right

 

 FFXI was/is successful, not to the level of WoW but it made them lots of money and it is the 4th or 5th largest paid MMO in the world (remember Lineage I and II rule Korea) with over a half million subscribers at it's peak and  currently around 300k paying $15/month since 2004.  It is starting to dwindle, but there are plenty of players dying for a competitor to WoW in terms of quality whether niche or main stream.   



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I don't understand why they licensed out UE3.0 for the Last Remnant if they a fully functional multiplatform in-house engine.

Because the White Engine was still under construction when they started development on the Last Remnant. It also allowed them to have working gameplay footage in just a few months.

Remember that Last Remnant development was started long after FFXIII, yet will probably see a release before (or close to the same time) Final Fantasy. That in itself should tell you why they're using UE3.

Who knows, it might even be a sign that SE plans to start relying on middleware more as development costs rise. A lot of other companies are doing it. 




Or check out my new webcomic: http://selfcentent.com/

well whatever it releases on it will be better then ff11 i hope which is not that popular. squares main systems are wii,DS, and ps3 so the 360 bots who claim 360 will be getting anything are crazy and if they do it will be a port of a game on ps3.
