Great news that it is in fact Star Ocean! I'm a little disappointed it's exclusive, even though it will not affect me directly. |
Why would you be dissapointed, this means the game will be the best it can be without comprimises. All the developer effort will be going to the actual game with no redundant efforts to get it running on different setups.
Now the problem here is that this game isn't exclusive, it's cross-gen which is actually much worse than just cross-platform. On the other hand I guess that for games it doesn't really matter, which then actually makes it a dissapointment that is not on XBOX, because what's the point of making a game like this release only on PlayStation.
Sony should really stop with the pointless exclusives, this and Street Figther are useless as exclusives, and invest in exclusives that would actually benefit the game and not only stop the game from going to other Platforms. Games like a Next-Gen Dragon's Dogma or like Bloodborne are games that are actually great as exclusives. |
Wait why would do you consider this and Street Fighter to be useless as exclusives?

Because they aren't resources intensive games. A game like Star Ocean doesn't push the console to the limit, maybe the PS3, certainly not the PS4, so it should be easy to develop for multiple platforms. The same with Street Fighter, a fighthing game rest mostly on it's core mechanics, it could be easily done for PS4 and XBOX One.
A game like Dragon's Dogma for example pushes a console to it's limits, so concentrating in one platform benefits the game since the dev can squeeze every ounce of power from it. To get the game working on both consoles, you have to make sacrifices since you can't play to the platform strenghts, not even mentioning redundant work that can be better spent making the game the best it can be.
