lol. all the people saying it wont look as good grow up. I know Sonys conf is yet to come. But as from today the 2 best looking titles on console are Fable 2 and Gears 2. The 360 is certainly at the cutting edge in graphics.

never mind the fact what you said is debatable, this isn't solely about graphics, there is much more to it then that.

this isn't a PS3 vs 360 thread, this is a Exclusive vs Multiplatform thread. Maybe the game will be just as good if it was Exclusive, but I'm not totally confident it will be. I would much rather this be Exclusive (PS3 or 360) to ensure console optimization. It's the same with me hoping that SO4 is only meant to be for 360 to ensure the same thing.

This Multiplatform announcment also likely means the game won't be designed around the consoles gaving a Hard Drive which = lame.

I'm less excited because:

1. As an FF fan first, like you, I would've preferred a 360 exclusive because I'll probably be buying the 360 late in its lifetime and multiplat games from the get-go are usually gimped. If you look at all the games that are pushing the quality of the systems, they are all exclusive (Note that GTAIV didn't push anything, it just has a huge fanbase)

2. As a PS fan second, I would've loved to see how the consoles pushed by FFXIII stack up to mgs4. Its too bad that that won't be happening anymore

 

I hate beating the same thing over and over but whatever

 

The game is as someone so perfectly put it. Compare it to RE4 on the gamecube. The game was released exclusive to the gamecube. Just as FFXIII is for the PS3. The reason this is true and you can't argue is because it is released on the PS3 in Japan before the game is even started on the 360.

So the PS3 version is the same wether exclusive or not. because it is essentially completed while exclusive. Then afte the game is done they do a port. So the only one that could suffer or improve is the 360. the ps3 is not affected at all. So wether it pushes the ps3 is up to whether i would have pushed it from the start. The 360 has nothing to do wth what SE decided to do on the ps3.

 

As said before, did the gamecube RE4 suffer because of the PS2 RE4.

The comparison is only valid to a point, because with RE4, you aren't dealing with BR Discs vs DVD, Processor amounts and Hard Drive/No Hard Drives.

You make a good point. However, I don't think this game is anywhere near completion and it is a given that resources would be split to make the 360 version for a simultaneous release. Also, its been a long time since "crystal tools" (S-E's in-house dev engine) was made to work on 360 so I get the feeling that this is news that has just been delayed but really occured around the same time as SO4 and The Last Remnant. M$ was just saving it for E3. RE4 was different, the port was decided upon, months after it came out on gamecube.

I hate people sometimes.

did you even read what I wrote? Or did you just stop by for a one liner and try and grab some laughs?

 

No, I read it and I still think this topic proves just how stupid people can be.

 MGS4 looks better then fable 2 and probably better then gears 2

I wasn't excited about the game before and I am still not excited about it.

care to elaborate?

Whether it is FF, MGS, GoW, GeoW, Fable etc. I would much rather these games just stay on one system and be designed solely around that.

I believe there is nothing wrong for me wanting games to remain exclusive to a console.

Yeah I am. Seriously fuck Microsoft, how I hate that damn company. Ever since they launched the gaybox this industry has been going from bad to worse.

I've already admitted "interested" was probably the wrong word.
