How dare they? They should just cancel the Xbox version so that we can have a couple more minutes of gameplay and improved graphics. Who cares about the Xbox only owners?

this, minus the sarcasm.

Wow...i had no idea...square-enix just shot themselves in the leg.....who cares if the xbox version was inferior, its on an inferior system- what they scared about embarrassing themselves...they just did and look like idiots. I'm not taking this too far but i may just may skip this BS- its a recession, don't have time to waste money on an inferior product. There are too many great quality-Blu-Ray games coming out competing for my dollars. Square-enix will lose a few thousand buyers after they read this article and see that interview, and a few thousand multiplied by about $45 is a lot of mullah.

Your reply reminded me of this classic video:

Multiplat games breed mediocrity.

The best games this generation, are multiplats, or timed exclusives, with ports.

Bioshock

GTAIV

Fallout 3

Braid

Mass Effect

Gears of War

Left 4 Dead

The Orange Box

RE5

Modern Warfare

Arkham Asylum

Their graphics have also been astounding.

If those games were mediocre, it certainly wasn't because they were mulitplat.

In fact, like with FFXIII, those games were developed for a more powerful system, and then ported down. Those games are still the best games this generation.

All PS3 games could be easily ported to the PC, with upgrades. Most of the best exclusives on the PS3 don't have many features that take advantage of the consoles' exclusive strength, BR.

People prefer exclusives, because this gen, we are fans of consoles, not games, and while games are fun for a while, consoles are fun forever, so we support the console over the game, everytime.

Losing exclusivity, means that we hate the game, and didn't want it anyway.

I understand your argument. That multiplat games can't be optimized to the PS3 because of BR. The best 3rd party games, now and in the future, will be multiplat, to the benefit of all gamers. You'll just have to get over any inconviniences this causes you.

The most hyped games this generation are exclusive. I'll give you that. However, those games aren't the "best" games this gen because they are on the 360, Wii, or PS3. They are great games because they have had an assload of money dumped on them, because they are exclusive.

Multiplats, with equal assloads dumped, have similar results.

You really think that LBP couldn't have been done as well on the PC, or the 360? Maybe you do, but....

...do you think Galaxy, or Gears 2 couldn't be done as well on the PS3?

I think if you follow that thought, your argument quickly becomes, "only PS3 exclusives don't breed mediocrity," and then guess where your headed with that attitude?

I don't fault you for thinking I only want PS3 exclusives, id be fine if its split 3 ways evenly. I think LBP is better for the fact that its only on one system. If it were on both PS3 and X360 then some of the features and graphics would have had to be cut and/or it would have had to be delayed. Same for Galaxy, same for Gears 1/2. I do use the term mediocrity a little loosely. FFXIII is going to be awesome, I've already stated that many times, I think however, it will not live up to the potential it could have had if all the effort had been made to make it work on one system alone.

At the very least spend all your time and effort on one system, get it done and out the door. Then after that, port it over to the other system, focusing all your teams efforts on that systems version. When you try to make both games basically the same, even though both systems are different, you get two version of the game that are not the best they could be on either system.

Did you just say what I thought you said? Because if you did... and it's not a mistake on my sleep deprived mind you need to seriously take a look at the man in the mirror and maybe make some changes... perhaps a visit to the eye doctor and then to a counselor

It's all a fake. The images are fake, even a PS2 can do that images.

It's an article made by fanboys to fanboys. 360 and PS3 are perfectly capable of doing great looking games.

I vote we let this thread die. There have been plenty of sensible posts, they get passed by as the thread grows and repeats and really we're on like the third round of the same argument.

Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
