If you can prove that MS money hatted SE for exclusive release then I'll go with it until then the reasons are :

http://playstation.joystiq.com/2008/06/18/last-remnant-dev-says-unreal-engine-cause-behind-ps3-delay/

 

Once again, another Unreal Engine-related delay strikes again. The Last Remnant is one of the timed exclusive RPGs from Square Enix on the Xbox 360, but that wasn't because Microsoft shelled out the big bucks. According to an interview with Gamespy, the delay was "mainly for development reasons." The Unreal Engine has been difficult to work with on PS3, and that's been the cause of the delay. "We're developing the game using the middleware Unreal Engine, and the Unreal Engine has a slower development on the PS3 side."

 

But I'd suggest you just get the pc version instead if you can't live with the technical problems of the 360.

 

I still get a bit of a chuckle out of that.

SE cites the UE3 as the reason for the PS3 delay, yet the 360 version ended up having a slew of technical issues anyway. Maybe they shouldn't have used that engine at all.

+1 (then looks at unreal tournament 3 which runs fantastic on ps3 and )  I guess square is not that good a rpg company as everyone thinks.

 

You do realize that UT3 was developed by Epic themselves. Epic has never had an issue with UE3 on 360 or PS3, it's the third party licensees that have had problems with the engine.

I downloaded the demo on my laptop last night. Didn't notice any framerate hitches and I had everything on medium at 60FPS. I may try running it on max settings to see if I can get the game to bog down. Also, the demo has no leader limitations. On the 360 version it shows your maximum number of unions, max leaders, and max total units. On the PC demo it just shows the maximum number of units and unions. David's default union had was him and the four generals of Athlum. So his union hads 5 leaders. If the PC version has no leader limits, I'm buying the PC version in additon the 360 version that I already own. Unless they patch the 360 version and remove leader limits. I have so many leaders I'd like to use but I'm restricted to 6 on the 360.
