| Impulsivity said: Part of the reason for this is Tri Ace doesn't like Sony atm because it had trouble developing Star Ocean 3 correctly (it didn't run right on some PS2 consoles, since its one of the ONLY games that had the problems the original release of SO3 had I blame Tri Ace which has never been an A list developer anyway). This means that they may very well not make a PS3 version, though if SO4 ends up just another 7.0 game like Infinate Undiscovery I don't think thats a world ender at all. It's about dividing Square and Enix. Square was a developer, Enix was a publisher so in the case of a game like FFXIII or a new Kingdom Hearts that is a square game, but in the case of something like Infinate Undiscovery or Star Ocean they're just publishing for Tri Ace. Square games will almost certainly come out on PS3 in all cases (except handheld games obviously), while Enix published games can go anywhere (and are usually inferior in quality to Square games, I can think of 20 A list Square games but have a hard time thinking of even a handful from Enix pre merger). I wish they had never merged, Square was 100x better before Enix happened. |
SO3 has trouble runing on some of the PS2s because Tri-Ace didn't properly test for bugs due to the at the time upcoming merger with Square and Enix. Oh and about those 20 A list Square games. I assume 15 of those were released during the SNES and PS1 eras
SO4 will get better reviews than IU. I can garentee it. Better graphics, more polished gameplay=review scores in between 8.0 and 9.0
