is this some kind of joke thread??

please don't post threads like this it will only start wars, trust me. you do know the real figures for hardware sales, hint look at the charts

How is it a joke thread to ask the reason behind gimping games, and releasing late for no actual gain?  Just damage to the series.

 

First of all the quality of FF13 wasn't hurt by the X360. At least not in any significant way. In another thread here on VGC it was shown how the size of the core game is only 6.8 GB, the rest is only movies.

Second of all you are wrong about multiplatforms versus exclusives sales. It always makes financial sense to be multiplatform unless Sony or MS money-hats you as a publisher.

but 50% of it was slashed, enough to asume another 6.8 more of gaming

But 3 DVDs can hold up to 20GBs of data. And I assume SE would have chosen to put the game even on 4 X360 DVDs if it was needed, rather than scrap material.

camack settle for 2, because of royalties, square was forced to 3, or no 360 version

As that fact or rumour?

LOL 200 million xbox 360's out there?. Me thinks you've been listening to MS spin. Theres 30 odd million xbox360's out there and 30 odd million ps3's to. The wonderfully succesful (joke) xbox360 has about a 5million lead on ps3 despite releasing 18 months earlier.


Did you even read the the entire post?  It seems like it went over your head.

He was exaggerating to make a point.  It was obvious.  Don't be stupid.

ya really totalcluedo READ it all first then troll ;p

I agree with the OP. Third party games this gen are terrible. SCEWWS have set there games so far ahead of the competition that it makes third party games look like a joke. Since third parties are not interested in even competing with Sony, or Microsoft for that matter, I see no reason to purchase there games.

However, I will be getting Splinter Cell Conviction, Final Fantasy XIII Vs, and Agent. Those games are being made correctly, and actually being built for the console.

To me multiplatform games are like putting on shoes 2 sizes to small, and on the wrong feet.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Listen, if the game is not going to suffer what-so-ever by it becoming multi-plat, then by all means, do it. But, if you have to gimp something, please gimp the lacking system only. Lot of people bit the bullet, and paid top dollar for their game consoles, why should those same people be forced to pay something half-assed because of some other game system that wont have any effect on their gaming experience what so ever... oh wait, it does effect the other system by causing both versions to be gimped.

End note, if I pay for a higher priced system, I don't expect my games to be less then what they should be. I want what I pay for, nothing less because I decided to go the extra mile.

It's not fair... no one showed SEGA any love Vs. the SNES by gimping sound quality and graphics...

Also, to the guy who said I didn't think 2 million was a lot, it was an EXAGGERATION which was 1% of total 360 sales to make a point, in which yeah, 2 million sales is pathetic.

PC gamers actually have a legitimate complaint here as their systems are outright faster in every respect and they are the most likely to suffer from gimped controls, options and a lack of optimization. Next to the difference between my system with an overclocked i7 and HD 5870, and a PS3 the difference between the PS3 and and Xbox 360 is like a flea fart on the back on an elephant. Now you're asking developers to make a gas mark for that elephant because of a tiny difference.

I can play PS2 games on my CPU, can you?

I didn't mean sales either. I'm talking quality.
