this generation of console wars is making me really excited to see what goes on next gen.

but the games this gen are so far excellent and ff13 is going to be one of them on my ps3 eventually. ms put up a lot of money and im interested to see how they respond next gen to all of that.

 

 There will be no exclusives next gen!

You heard it here first!...

Either that, or there will be much much less exclusives.

As long as M$ still has $, there would still be some 3rd party exclusives. If not full games, then DLC.

Crazy, I can't wrap my head around it FFXIII being multiplatform, it's like finding out Abraham Lincoln was really a racist. But he is right though, FFXIII = Playstation. Everyone who owns a PS3 will get this game on it.

Here sir, your new and improved post. And this actually depends on a lot of things. Market positioning and console direction. If Nintendo decides to use its momentum to smack Sony and Microsoft around next gen, ooh boy that is going to be ugly. Imagine the Wii with PS3 level hardware and huge amounts of RAM at $250. Yuck.

by the time FFXIII comes out (end of 09)PS3 will have bigger user base,and lots of good exclusive like GOWIII that would sway people in NA toward PS3 more,,,not to mention that lots of people have to switch to HD TV in Feb 09 to be able to watch TV in NA.

FF isn't as popular as you think. Many PS fanboys I know don't even understand what you do in a JRPG. Hell, none of my friends play JRPGs. Only my cousins that I forced to play FFX. On this site though, it sure seems likeRPG gamers are everywhere!

Yeah, MS is opening the checkbook too much.

They overdrew their account by 188 million last quarter.

Bad for Microsoft, great for 360 owners and FF fans. More money to Square for FF games, bigger FF fanbase, more people get to play FF. Nothing bad about that at all.

vaio, why didnt you volunteer for the contributor spot. I love the news, but there's like 10 of them in the front page.

I don´t think my english is good enough for that spot and there is probably alot of others that are waiting for a chance that are better with the language then me and has waited for a chance.

 

 

what's the difference between their post and yours?

Nothing i guess, I just don´t want to push someone else out of the way and to be honest I haven´t really thought about being contributor as I feel my english won´t carry up very well.

That's because most of the real Playstation fanboys, myself included, found love for the brand from Final Fantasy VII. They could give a piss about Gran Turismo. That's just the way it is, in America, for those of us old enough to have owned a Playstation 1.

That's my opinion, anyway.

A lot of the younger audience got into the console for Grand Theft Auto. These are the ones who could give a crap about Final Fantasy and are just in it for games like Killzone and Resistance. Finally, we have the college social gamer who is a playstation fanboy due to the fact that they got accustomed to the PS2 controls for Madden.

Which ones matter? All of them equally.

However, we're on the interenet. We like to judge. So, if we had to say which ones we respected the most...it would be the old school playstation guys, who bought the console with Resident Evil, played the Twisted Metal demo that came with the console, and had their world rocked by Final Fantasy VII. Those are my guys. I love them. The rest I'm not so sure.

See, not owning or understanding them isn't the same as not liking them. If you've never even played FFVII, then you simply don't know what your missing. If you were converted, you would look back on your old taste for gaming with distain. Nothing against people who have never played a good JRPG, but really, seriously, you do not know what your missing. It's like having never played Zelda or Mario. It's like having never played a First Person Shooter, and saying you don't know what the big deal is about Call of Duty 4.
