Darth, you linked to a hentai site so maybe you should not link the article or something.

I mean, look at the other news articles ...


I know, I'll put a WARNING in the OP

but if I take the link out people like dbot will go on screaming about how the OP is fake

so I'll just put a WARNING in CAPS



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

So we ported to the PS3, it’s cheaper as you already have the game done, but then Sony came back and told us ‘We won’t recognise it if it’s the same as the Xbox 360 version. Make sure you put in a lot of extra stuff!

 

LOL that's so funny! Reminds me of Numonex and "I do not accept these sales".

yeah it has a link to HIS blog IN the article

I suggest you read before flaming

I went to his blog.  Can you translate?  Thanks.

 

流れを簡単にまとめると、
360版が発売→1年後にPS3版発売→PS3版はめちゃくちゃ追加要素あり→360版がまるでβ版じゃないか!→ワザと360版は手を抜いて、PS3版を豪華にする予定だったんじゃないのか!?→謝罪しろ!
というワケだ。

元々他ハードに移植される事を問題視していた人たちがいた様で、それが今回のヴェスペリア移植で爆発した、といった所だろう。



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

 

 

I want somebody to Xxplain to me why SONY are dickheads and assholes for demanding that developers add incentive to there year old late ports that they want to re-release for full price??????

Sony are dicks blackmailing devs like that. I don't believe Nintendo does that and Microsoft certainly doesn't.

Oh please. Because you know what happens behind closed doors? How do you know this article is even true? Just because this "article" claims to say Sony "blackmails" automatically means it only happens with Sony? And not Microsoft or Nintendo? How do you know that, i'm curious.

@dbot

@Xxain

I dunno why people are calling them that

but IF I WAS A DEV......I'd do what Namco did as I'd be interested in making $$$ + TOV pre-orders are proving, the sales aren't really lost

It's because its Sony and the PS3.

Seriously though... look at the 2 people who said the bolded, and you will see why they said it.

+1 I totally agree with you on this and further more they should "not" allow them to sell them at full price.  All late ports should be sold for 39.99 msrp as an apology to the gaming faithful who prefer the game on their console of choice (in this case it is the ps3).



With regards to the policy of MS on late ports to their system... do you suppose they would just allow it, with no additional content?

Extra content is standard practice for late ports. The content can often merely include DLC from earlier versions, as I recall, if its sufficient -- (eg: Oblivion).

This has nothing to do with Sony's business policies, other than they are unwilling to fund development of projects they aren't actually publishing themselves, unlike MS, in return for timed exclusivity, apparently.

 

EDIT: Didn't Sony announce an across-the-board help-your-bottom-line deal for making exclusive PSN titles recently?  The difference here being that Sony is helping small self-published titles see the light of day (i.e. giving gamers something fresh and new, that they wouldn't see otherwise, in return for exclusivity -- they even let the devs retain the IP), whereas MS is buying timed exclusivity for major titles (i.e. keeping people who don't own a 360 from having a game until the benefits of exclusivity have mostly warn off for MS).



 

What were you doing in a hentai site?

 



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!
