I don't see people being pissed off because it isn't just a PS3 exclusive.

I see people pissed off because games that were promised as PS3 exclusives, are no longer being exclusive.

That, and the 360 ports making PS3 owners have to wait EVEN LONGER for the damn game.

The only way for Square-Enix to truly redeem themselves after the FF XIII debacle is to perform public sudoku.

By the way, a 360 port actually shortens the development time of games. FF XIII was originally expected to be a possible 2008 release, just like Gran Turismo 5. Now which game launched already and which one is still in development? Yeah, thought so.

If your kidding than arguably that's trolling.  If you are serious, than your just completely wrong, no release date or release window was set for GT5 until December 2009. "expected" release dates by users on internet forums or articles on the internet do not count for squat.

Its Khuutras game... Everyone knows this!



Tease.

I am not the slightest bit bothered if a game is announced as a multiplatform title. On the other hand, when a developer/publisher goes out of his was to assure/promise that a game will be exclusive to a particular console - as well as stating how the game will be better for it - only to go back on his word, it becomes a problem for me. I don't think it's too much to ask for developers/publishers to keep their word. This is the main reason a lot people, myself included, don't trust the word of any video game exec, until they actually deliver.

Because they are primarily a fan of the console, not necessarily the series itself? They would care for the PS3 finally having it's own big exclusive from a 3rd party. Not having to share it's big exclusive, with the consoles biggest competitor.

Sure, it's only a slight few who seem to think that, but they still have a right to be slightly pissed.

 

Another reason i think could stand is this -

Square Enix this gen have basicly buttfucked Sony, and buttlicked Microsoft. The 360 gets a formerly PS franchise, Star Ocean... as an "Exclusive". Exclusive games like Infinate Undiscovery and the Last Remnant while the PS3 remains in the dark. Square Enix also abandon the PS franchise for another flagship series, Dragon Quest.

The PS3 exclusive, Final Fantasy XIII, is then showed at the Microsoft E3 show. This is then rubbed in for over a year constantly at every FF, RPG or game discussion.

The game is THEN delayed for however long. It is confirmed that a LOT of content has been cut. And the 360 version gets exclusive bundles and advertising, despite it being blatantly obvious to anyone but Greenberg that the PS3 version would be the far superior version sales-wise.

The game releases, is bashed by reviewers but sells well. Big, big win for the PS3 sales-wise, as expected... Despite the 360 ad's and bundles. This add's fuel to the fire.

Now, the PS3's final "exclusive" game. Built ground up for the PS3. Nomura, a well known fan of the PS franchise is making it. Touted as being fully exclusive from day 1. Is rumored to be going to the 360... Can you really blame Sony fans for being pissed off as much as they are? REALLY?

It sounds like you're pissed yourself.

@Bolded

I have nto seen one SHRED of proof for that. Please provide some.

@2nd Bolded

That may be the reason for the advertisement to bolster sales even more. Ads for the PS3 wouldn't get as large as sales as 360 ads.

@Italics

Yes I can, because they're being irrational with their hate.

I am. I want the damn game as soon as possible. Not having to wait for some stupid port for a console i wont be buying the game for.

Content cut? Take your pick... http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=final+fantasy+xiii+content+cut&aq=0&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=final+fantasy+xiii+content+&gs_rfai=

Irrational with there hate? How have they? They are rightly pissed off at being buttfucked for an entire generation.

@Khuutra.

Good point, but my point still stands from my first post. I was just showing a different point of view on the whole situation. I can fully understand why people are pissed off.

I'm not searching through pages upon pages for something that you should be defended.

And yes they're being irrational, does the thought that the game is multiplat lurk in the back of your head and gnaw at your brain while you're playing the game?

No, it doesn't. But it does lurk in the back of my brain and gnaw away while im WAITING even LONGER for the game.

You haven't proved your point, but rather reinforced mine.

Each of those links just says that content was cut, not due to it being multiplatform, but rather "didn’t make sense in the storyline, would slow down the pace of the game or were otherwise unnecessary."

Anyone gaming for a long time would find it hard not to agree with the opening post, at least by going MP the Playstation is still getting the game Nintendo fans got bugger all, it belongs to SE not the platform holder's fans, SE proved this long ago with their jump to Playstation.

Tell me where i said it was the 360's fault that the content was cut.

So you agree that what you brought up had nothing to do with the issue at hand.
