SO4 port is already confirmed.

Well, for the PS3 version I'm not really surprised, extra content is Sony's policy for porting and it makes good sense especially since it's a late port.

And I don't have a gram of sympathy for Namco, first they picked the path of least resistence with making it xbox360 exclusive for a year, then they put for the game what has to be the most pathetic DLC ever.

Thats not the point. Sony not paying for the extra content in their version is the problem whilst allowing Microsoft to cover their ends. Thats very bad business.

ok...so youre saying it would be ok for developers to re-release a port thats year old for full price.......SONY shouldn't pay for anything they are basically ensuring that NAMCO isnt rippin us off with cash in port

Um no. Sony getting this exclusive stuff is proof of what I am saying. They demand loyalty from people. Microsoft could've never received this type of respect if the tables had turned. Sony may not have to pay for the game, but should fund the extra content to make their version better themselves. To make the company use the funds given to them from another company is an underhanded business move. Sony was just pissed that they couldn't out bid Microsoft, so they treated Namco like dogs.

I swear STAGE its almost like you wanna make SONY the bad guy...SONY does not need to pay for ANYTHING...this is something that NAMCO must do to justify them re-release a port for full price that you can find waaaaaaay cheaper on a different console..it would be a HUGE rippoff for developers to screw a portion of there fanbase over for a feee development then re-release that same old version a year later for $60...if that isnt a ripoff i dont know wat is..SONY MS and NINTENDO should all have this rule...just think how developers would act like if they had the ability to sling old ports around for full price
