Much better than Uncharted and to be honest, the one in the Heavy Rain videos doesn't look super awesome. I'm sure it may change my mind after I play it for a while.

HS had some of the best mo-cap and facial animation this generation, 2 years after its release, the game is still consider a graphical powerhouse, I love the game and enjoyed every moment I spend on it.

It's problem though was pretty momentous. I literally saw a mother walk into a store and demanded a refund for the game because it was too short, it only the game had been expanded a bit more...

Folklore I never got into, I try the demo but the lack of voice just felt weird and the annyoing pause really bugged me.

Still, I see no reason for Sonyfans to feel 'kicked in the guts' their game will still come out on the PS3. The only people that will feel ass-hurt by this news is Fanboys and they can go to hell for all I care.

Dude...wtf?...

History says otherwise, judging by the amount of hate threads this site has seen thowards Square... (FF13)

I didn't say that. I said they were the two games we survived off of, as PS3 owners. In fact, I specifially mentioned that they weren't that big financially. People who knew what to play, played those games, though.

As long as it stops him posting a picture to prove what he says I'd rather have this.

Your wasting your time, because they don't see it you know. All this thread was is a giant downplay of the loss. Either you look at it either they were irrational then and are rational now, or they were rational then and are irrational now. The difference is the propaganda value, and that is all. They even attack the writer of the article for taking them at their word. They proclaimed these two developers a couple years ago. How was the author to know it was just drivel to overcome a huge case of buyers remorse.

Somehow Folklore which was proclaimed the best role playing game on the console, and Heavenly Sword which was the best action game on the console. Are suddenly not major losses. They are even insinuating that they were utterly expendable. Talk about having the good old love them then leave them attitude.

dodece baited. some bit.

"History says otherwise, judging by the amount of hate threads this site has seen thowards Square... "

links?

I'm looking forward to what they do with Namco, because I did not like Folkore or Heavenly Sword. Well I was okay with Folklore.

Really, I don't know why this is even important, I mean it wasn't as if Sony all of a sudden lost one of their 1st party studios, like Microsoft lost bungie (bungies now are 2nd party to microsoft, so they have the freedom to move over to 3rd party and go multiplaform if they want), all it was that two 2nd party developers moved over to 3rd party, this is the freedom being 2nd party affords them, they arn't owned by anyone. The important thing is that Sony didn't lose any of those 2 IP's.

while Sony may have lost Game republic, they seemed to have gained From software as both Demon Soul and 3D dot hero are Sony exclusives.

In any case Nothing is stopping Ninja theory and Games republic from working on sequels to Hevenly sword or folklore if Sony choose to fund the development, they'll simply have to wait till they finish the 2-3 games as per their contract with Namco Bandai, after all they haven't been bought these guys, so there free todo what they like once their projects are complete.
