Square Enix Announces RPG Line-Up for Xbox 360

Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces three new RPGs for the Microsoft Xbox 360 system that will be released across all PAL territories beginning with INFINITE UNDISCOVERY on 5th September 2008 and followed by THE LAST REMNANT and STAR OCEAN®: THE LAST HOPE. All three RPGs will be globally released in 2008-2009.

[Vojkan]

I give credit to MS for at least doing their best in Japan, but is it enough?

[Euphrate]

.

[Lifendz]

Japan is never going to really support a Western console or developer. Heck, they only bought San Andreas because Capcom published it over there. Abandon what is a money sink and focus on the strong areas-U.S. & Europe. Or if they really want to do well in Japan then they should be some Japanese developers and secure some major IPs that the Japanese love (we all could name a few).

[Dark_Vendetta]

IMO it's a good move. I know this one will not change anything in Japan but as long as they keep on trying I'll get my (hopefully) good JRPGs

[kewlkat007]

It was the size/weight of the Original xbox as to why the console never sold.(Apparently)

The 360 comes out and that is reduced compared to it's closest competitor the PS3.

Then there was there are no Good/Great RPG's on the console and the 360 is delivering just that this gen. Even RPG's from the JRPG gods themselves, Square. Plenty JRPG's we don't hear about because all that matters to some is Final fantasy. Especially in the West.

Now if you ask me why the console does not sell well, I will gladly tell you, IMO, opinion it's not because it's too FAT or does not have the JRPG's. That argument is moot.

Well the the RROD certainly does not help knowing how Japanese are about Quality, then there is the culture that have only known Japanese made consoles for the last 35+ years. They are not gonna jump ship so quickly to adopt a different platform, especially when there are 3 decent platforms out there.Plus how many Japanese gamers have money for 3 consoles?

The 360 right now is just the ugly duckling. That foreign step child. Def not part of the family. But give MS credit yes, why not. Of course there is always this negative sentiment anything MS. MS should not Quite Japan, but I think Europe is more important. Western Games sell pretty well and there are gear towards that market besides NA.

The biggest Japanese Game seller is right around the corner MGS4. Take a look at Western Games and the sale charts.

[thewhoopimen]

I disagree... That powerbrick on the 360 is a console of its own. If you attached the powerbrick to the 360 box, 360 > PS3 easily.

[KingKirchner]

I give MS credit for trying in Japan, but I don't think their main goal is gaining the Japaneese market, it's holding the PS3 back in the Japaneese market, and that's exactly what they're doing.

They've thrown more money at these Japaneese developers than I can imagine for all these exclusive/timed-exclusive RPGs, and while it hasn't helped them much (or at all really) it certainly has been holding the PS3 back in Japan a LOT.

[hazeblaze]

LOL, the 360 is not currently doing ANYTHING to hold the PS3 back in the Japanese market! The PS3 has sold about 4-5x as many consoles in Japan and the 360 had a year head start there too! No, when it comes to Japan the 360 is hopelessly lost.

HOWEVER, what no matter what ppl say about the 360 and Japan... the 360 definitely has a very attractive rpg lineup at this point. Whether or not it rivals the lineup of the PS3 probably comes down to opinion & taste... but if SO4 remains exclusive to the 360, and if SO4 & IU are as good as past games by the devs... the 360 may even have the better lineup (considering that it already has ME in it's lineup as well).

The first 2 Star Ocean games were better than most FF games imo. The last one was not as hot but was still very good. If SO4 doesn't come to the PS3, it is a major loss.

[bakasora]

I felt betrayed by Sony and Square-Enix.

[KingKirchner]

@1.7

The PS3 isn't being held back in Japan in comparison to the 360, but there is a HUGE gap between PS3 and the Wii/DS/PSP.

[INehalemEXI]

Sometimes I think about buying a J360 just to get Oneechanebra Vortex. I settle for Onechanebra Revolution on wii w/freeloader though. Still want Vortex somehow though...

[Light Yagami]

Props to MS for trying in Japan. Sony is letting me down with the JRPGs. Thats why I bought a 360. To enjoy my JRPGs. Too bad I only enjoyed one :/ The next Star Ocean looks promising.

[Fallen_Angel]

Got to love how people act like the only in the world that a rpgs will sell is in japan. Yes we all know the japanese love their rpgs and dating sims. However rpgs still sell in other parts of the world. Star ocean till the end of time sold 1.29 million only .55 in japan the rest were sold in america. Final Fantasy X sold 3.02 in japan, 2.74 in america and 2.19 other. Just cause the japanese are to racist to give the 360 a chance doesnt make this bad move on MS part. There are still 19m other 360 owners out there that will enjoy the games.

[Guwapo77]

Japanese aren't racist. They just opt to buy quality products. Westerners are the only ones willing to buy sub-par products and complain about it later when it breaks.

[Spike47]

g ive credit to MS for atleast trying.The AMOUNT of JRPGs looks good but the quality of each does not.

[macsto]

screw japan, these games are going to be awesome! Bring them to the rest of the world ASAP

[player911]

I agree. Role Playing Games is a genre of gaming. It doesn't have to appeal to a specific region to be successful. Just because Japanese only support Japanese based companies doesn't mean they can't make RPG and JRPG's.

The only reason MS is releasing so many RPG's this year is because they lack them. I love RPG's and the 360 is where its at.

[mistertwoturbo]

Those look to be pretty good RPG's though. Just bring em here to the states where people will actually buy it. I'm lookin at all three.

[CAPT IRISH]

I am loving all the rpgs on my 360

[Mr PS3]

Spring's to mind

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Whining because the 360 has all your games, they actualy get released, and your still in last place comes to mind.

[Pain]

A$$ Loads.

Pay all the Money u want XBOX 360 Sucks and Buying Games like this is proof of desperateness.

[CyberSentinel]

...much love to Square-Enix:-)

[MrWonderful]

I have to give M$ credit, but as myself and many other people know square will not let its target audience set on the back burner. expect to hear these announced at E3

[JokesOnYou]

Well LO sold 55k its first week in Japan and the 360 got a small boost in hardware sales from the usual 2k avg to about 9k, not great but not too bad for 360 when you consider its Japan, I mean ps3 has low weeks where it only sells 8-9k in Japan just to put the numbers in perspective....besides these titles look good I'm sure they will do well in the US and Europe.

http://www.boxxet.com/Profe...

JOY

[Immortal Kaim]

You have to give credit where credits due. Even if they don't sell extremely well in Japan, there are other markets for this genre. All I hear is people complaining and waiting for some supposed big announcements from Sony at E3, why can't we just enjoy these great games on whatever system they are available on.

[Nameless]

Did I read that right ? Star Ocean 3 is a 360 Exclusive ? Awesome & for anyone saying release these state side

All three RPGs will be globally released in 2008-2009. I guess this is how Square is going to try & win over the Western Markets like they want to

[mistertwoturbo]

None if it was ever said to be exclusive. But there are big chances it will be 360 timed exclusive.

[foodbox]

Star Ocean 3 is "Till the End of Time".

This Xbox 360 exclusive is Star Ocean 4.

[Acidicpack]

I think its great that I will be able to play some SE Games on my 360 for once. SE always does a great job at putting together games and making them epic. Lost odyssey was great but getting to play a game like Star Ocean on my 360 I never would have dreamed it. Star Ocean has got to be my 2nd favorite RPG franchise Next to Final fantasy. From the Look of it my 360 and ps3 will be getting a work out this year and into the next . What a great time to be a gamer =)

Peace

[kewlkat007]

and your right about that one both of my consoles will be mad busy.

Add me

PSN:kewlkat007
XBL:theOracle97

[Naucious]

lol japan likes weird things IMO but who dont i guess, theres just has to be a fun factor in the games they make in order for microsoft to touch Japan. Thus why Wii is killing the next gen console, but I never counted the wii in the first place.

[juuken]

I'll give MS credit as well, but XIII and Versus are still two of the biggest rpg games on the PS3.

[Potty Scotty]

When are they coming to Playstation 3?

[juuken]

Cute but...no.
I'll be owning a 360 soon enough so I'll play some rpg's on it until they come out.

[AngryTypingGuy]

juuken owning a 360? Is it snowing in hell?

[Jandre02]

If not SE is just a bunch of f+cking idiots. Why put those games on the 360 alone when they know its dying in Europe, dead in Japan, and America doesn't like JRPGs? Unless MSFT is paying entirely for all of those projects then they are going make minimal amounts on all of them. Its stupid, just stupid.

Good for the Xbox360 though. I dont know how you convince a company to blow their money like that, but the more exclusives they keep from Sony the longer it will take them to gain any ground in Japan, if ever. I guess that was MSFTs plan all along.

[dan-boy]

but the ps3 is not exactly alive and kicking at home either. 9k a week in japan is abysmal for sony. and square enix know they can sell games to westerners...they've been doing it for years on other consoles.

anyway, credit to microsoft for tenaciously pursuing jrpgs

[AllseeingEye]

Last Remnant and Star Ocean are also being released for ps3 correct?

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

All of those games are in development for the ps3 at one time..so they are probably timed exclusives if anything

[Jack Bauer]

infinite undiscovery is not coming to the PS3... MS put money in the game before SE so they both own the rights and MS wont let it go on PS3.

[CrazzyMan]

yeah IU is considered as x360 exclusive,
while SO4 is just for x360, which will probably come later on 1 Blu-ray Disc. =)
and Last Remnant also will be coming some time later, But if it will come after FFXIII, then i don`t see the point of release of this game on PS3. After FFXIII, you will be bored playing "average" quality jrpg games. =)

[vloeistof]

wow 360 is getting se games how things are changing :P

[Imallvol7]

not really? its about the equivalent of gamecube getting crystal chronicles. people are really blowing this out of proportion. I have never bought a Star Ocean game. It never sold that well period.

[SEAN1617]

they had to make this agreement sorry ps3 guys they are timed exclusives but FF is ps3 exclusive there was a japanese new report about a week ago about this.

[foodbox]

All the people involved in the earlier FF games have left SE.

FF is on its 13th (!) game, there is not a single narrative.

Who the Fcuk cares about FF now? The Last Remnant is Xbox 360 and PS3 -- LR **will** be more important to SE than FF because LR has a much bigger target market than FF.

FF is dead. FF doesnt matter.

[PS360WII]

Now everyone can stop saying Square Enix isn't showing the 360 any love. Here are 3 games from them and what do you know I'm looking forward to all 3 ^^

[Acidicpack]

Yeah i have been Gaming sense the good old NES days. There r so many GREAT games fixing to drop this year and next just to name a few MGS4 this week WooooT will own my life for the next few months lol GOW2, FF13, RFOM2, KZ2 lol sorry I got carried away there lol But yeah I cant think of a better time to be a gamer than right NOW with such great games coming out on both systems=)

Gamer Tag 360 AcidicPack
PSN Tag AcidicPack

Happy Gaming

[kewlkat007]

XBL:theOracle07 sorry not 97.

Umm sucks my cousins Xbox 360 just RROD and I told him kid, you have the money get a PS3 while you wait..He is doing just that, well he likes to copy me and what I do so he must have all the consoles.

The thing is were about playing games each console do not "share" so we have always had all the consoles. At one point we used to share, I'd get 1 and he get the other but now we both make money and stuff so we can afford them.

It has always been about the Exclusives games on all the consoles. So yeah Game on.

[Acidicpack]

My 360 got the RROD about 6 months or so ago it sucked so bad lol and Guess what I went out and Bought a PS3 lol since I new the wait to get my 360 Back was going to be about 4 weeks. Both r great system and like i said before They will both be getting a wotk out this year lol that is if the wife lets me hahahaha

[foodbox]

No one cares about the heat problems. It's been about a year since they fixed the heat issues. And, everyone gets a free fix. This is **MUCH** better service than Sony gave with all the broken PS2s.

Stop talking FUD. no one cares. Oh, did I mention that Star Ocean 4 is Xbox 360 exclusive?!

[Imallvol7]

I am glad I have a 360 in case these are good, but Final Fantasy is where it's at. Isn't last remnant like a Dynasty Warriors game? I will see when the demo is released today if its worth anything.

I also like how both sides are making so many assumptions from each announcement. 360 Fans: Sony is falling off the wagon. PS Fans: Sony must have the biggest game ever in development to counter this.

If anything, PS fans and XB fans should be uniting against the Wii, lol.

[PS360WII]

you can't unite against the Wii! It's too cool ;)

In any event Final Fantasy is nice and all but I wish people could stop saying it's the end all be all. There are so many RPGs out there that have the same caliber of awesomeness.

Last Remnant looks to be turn based rpg action along with a twist in terms or battle momentum. If you or the enemy have more momentum it can sway the battle in favor of the high moral group. I don't quite get it all so if the demo is out today I'm so getting it to test the waters ^^

[Imallvol7]

It is the end all to be all when it comes to sales. FF and Kingdom Hearts are the two essential RPGS when it comes to sales. I don't see what MS has to gain from getting Star Ocean. It didn't sell that well on PS2 even.

[PS360WII]

Well in terms of sales Dragon Quest usually sells in Japan only what Final Fantasy sells worldwide. So if anything you should be really stoked about DQ IX on the DS

[INehalemEXI]

MS is looking at making the hardware sell. It does not need Star Ocean to sell mad copys. They just need to make the 360's line up look to good to pass up so they get the hardware moving in Asia.

[Havocxx]

I think the reason SE is being so Hush Hush on the ps3 versions is simply because that they finally see that 1. Its hard to develope for. And 2. Ms really needs the JPN $ so they will pay whatever to get it first, IF they paid at all, if they didn't then SE is really playing the the flute as they've said before " We develop for the generations most popular console". But Last Remnant will still be bought on ps3 if it has the rumored FF XIII demo on it. Star Ocean is great and all but I couldn't even play the 3rd one, I own it, bought it for 20 bucks and still won't touch it, and Infinite Discovery looks like a coin toss like Dirge of Cerberus was. SO no worries, this is why I own both consoles.

[Imallvol7]

agreed, owning both is the only way to go (minus a wii, lol)

[foodbox]

@19.1

Why on earth would you buy a PS3?

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

And people wonder where all the RPG's went.

[Darkiewonder]

It went and died on the 360. ;)

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

So where did they go on the PS3? oh thats right they all died on the 360, and continue to do so "over and over" Well you still have Final Fantasy 1000 and then you have..... uh..... um...... well you have Final Fantasy 1000 :)

These games should do well on the 360, since no other console this gen sells games like it :)

Later dude, I'm sorry you own a PS3 :( just think you guys finaly get a game soon, and next year you will get another one :)

[Real gamer 4 life]

if you analyze the trailers, you will notice that the mention infinity discovery as a 360 exclusive. But the end of last remamnent and so4 is say "xbox 360", it does not say exclusively for the xbox 360. And another reason i think its going to be multiplatform is fact that they have the s04 trailer in the start ocean games for the psp. why would they hype a game for the xbox 360 on a playstation platform.

[gerol]

there are 3 SE RPG releases in xbox... SE' master series is still on the PS3.

if star ocean 4 is exclusive on xbox.. probably it may flop due to the loyal fans of PS.

[Pornlord]

I may dust off my 360 ( and I mean that literally) if any of these titles are actually exclusives. I have heard that Infinite Undiscovery is, but Star Ocean is franchise of sorts, I don't see that being exclusive. Who knows.

[SpartanGR]

.

[rebirthofcaos]

XD some1 else find the ``last hope`` a little sarcastic to the Xflop 180

[SpartanGR]

What saddens me the most is that i bought my ps3 plainly for having the illusion of living great rpg times. Playing rpg's on 360 doesn't feel right to me.
Anyway i believe that Japanese devs are pathetic and Ms's new b*tch. They wont even support their home console. No surprise there since they move and talk like americans day by day. They're losing their identity. Too bad.

[Leaderof Espada]

see how much higher in visuals they could go with ps3, but oh well

[sephy 9 2 5]

How they could achieve even better visuals by going with the PS3?

[Citizen Cook]

A. Buy Square Enix,

B. Make the FF game exclusive to 360 or make it a timed release, or at the very least, it will come out on day one for both platforms.
Just like your precious GTA did.

Hows it feel Phony, to see all your once great exclusives slowly slipping away to the opposition?

HA HA HA HA!

[Xlll]

Still mad about Bioshock coming to PS3 with better visuals and all the content you paid for we get for free? I find it funny you think SE will be bought. If you think they would ever make their biggest RGP only for Xbox or out of your mind. No one owns a 360 in Japan. Oh and i can't wait to see how much you'll be crying when M$'s deal with Epic ends and a Gears shows up on PS3 lol.

[4D]

Why would 360 owners cry about you guys getting Bioshock a year later. I mean the PS3 has no games so if anything it's more like showing PS3 owners mercy by giving them such a great game after we were done with it. The only people who cry about games going to the other console are PS3 owners. Crying about games such as DMC4, VF5, Ace Combat 6, GTA4, etc... I just feel sorry for the devlopers for Bioshock. They are spending all that time and money to port it to the PS3, and you guys won't even buy it because your saving your money for Blu-Ray movies. I would laugh if Gears of War went to the PS3. Then you guys would actually have a good game for once.

[juuken]

"Why would 360 owners cry about you guys getting Bioshock a year later. I mean the PS3 has no games so if anything it's more like showing PS3 owners mercy by giving them such a great game after we were done with it."

Stop using that rehashed argument already. The PS3 has games, and a certain game called MGS4 is coming on Thursday. It has 9's and 10's across the board as of late. Get the hell over yourself. You're an idiot and your hatred of the PS3 blinds you completely to the point you talk completely out of your ass.

Oh, and Bioshock is actually an upgrade on the PS3. That means better graphics, and more bonuses.

You fail.

You disagreement also shows your pure jealousy as well.

[4D]

Doesn't matter if Bioshock, Halo, Mass Effect, and Gears of War went to the PS3. I could care less which games go to which consoles. I'm a gamer. I'm not loyal to any console manufacturer. Besides you PS3 owners don't buy games anyways. I didn't hit disagree. I'm not the type to hit disagree or take bubbles. But I can see you hit disagree on me. Enjoy being a hipocrite. You bash the 360 all the time. So whats the difference??? Double Standards anyone??? Oh were supposed to think you don't hate the 360 because now your talking about actually buying one??? I just come on here to talk sh!t about the PS3 because I don't like Sony and it's much easier to piss off a PS3 fanboy. This site sucks a$$ anyways with it's broken bubble system, and all of the PS3 fanboys running around with all the bubbles and ganging up on 360 members to take thiers. Heaven forbid anybody say anything negative about the PS3 or anything positive about the 360. You emotional rejects on N4G defending the PS3 like it's your country make me laugh. Wah. Cry. Whine. B!tch. Moan. Squirt. Need a tissue???

Eidt: Juuken notice I didn't hit disagree on XIII's comment even though I don't agree with him??? I just posted my comment and moved along. You PS3 owners are the ones who are jealous and insecure. Enjoy MGS4. I hope it lives up to the hype. Then once your done it's back to Blu-Ray movies because it's gonna be a while before your next big hit...

[juuken]

4D, your comments are a big wall of sh*t. That's right, a big wall of sh*t.

You know why I bashed the 360? Because of it's unreliability. But since it has two games I want, I will risk it and I'll be owning two consoles. That's right, two consoles. That doesn't mean I'll stop supporting Sony at all. If the 360 was reliable, I would have bought it first and get a PS3 later on. I became a Ninja Gaiden fan since Ninja Gaiden Sigma and I really want to play NG2. I'm also interested in Infinite Undiscovery and *gasp* Star Ocean 4! Just because I hated the system, doesn't mean that I hated the games. The 360 does have some good games I wished was on the PS3. But it probably won't happen soon so I'll buy a 360 Elite. But I won't get all mighty and bash PS3 owners because I own two systems.

You, a gamer? You are not a gamer. You are a pesky little fly. You're someone that hates Sony and all PS products for reasons unknown. You can't stand the fact that Sony is getting it together. Your insults on the PS3 just proves that you're a jackass, plain and simple. Did I cry when you supported your pathetic arguments with a wall of text? No, I did because you actually made me chuckle and shake my head at your stupidity.

Don't go around calling people rejects when you're the reject.

REJECT.

I wouldn't even bother with the rest of your text because it made me laugh so much that I couldn't continue.

JUNE 12TH = JUDGMENT DAY.

Oh, and do I sense anger in those comments there? You must have been crying when you wrote all of that! The PS3 has no games? Ha, we shall see, we shall see!

And why should I believe you didn't immediately hit disagree on my comment? Some of your friends must have actually done it because they can't stand the fact that I said the PS3 *does* have games. You love to throw around that idea don't you? The PS3 has no games, we have all the games, XBL is the best, yada, yada, yada.

Failure on so many levels.

And dear, say hello to my ignore list.

You are the weakest link.

GOODBYE!

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

"so I'll buy a 360 Elite"

You'll be very happy when you make this purchase. Welcome to the family. Glad you'll finally JUMP IN!

[Leaderof Espada]

and looking at 3rd year 180 exclusives, i can truly say that ps3s ingame visuals match 180s cgi films in their games.

all in all ps3 is just the better visual making machine

[t-0_ot-]

And, yet, that's why you get games like LAIR. Good visuals, crappy game.

Visuals don't make a game, bro. The game makes the visuals. =)

[Meus Renaissance]

I don't understand why Microsoft continue to buy these timed exclusives, it wont help them there. And SE are stupid to take the money, they would have made bigger profits on the PS3/Wii. Unless Microsoft paid them more than SE could have made, which makes this whole stupid thing even more retarded.

[jackdoe]

Infinite Undiscovery is partially financed by MS. Star Ocean 4 hasn't been announced for the PS3 yet (it was a Microsoft Conference after all) and 2009 is a long ways away, which means that Squeenix will probably wake up, smell the sales, and release it on the PS3 simultaneously. And Last Remnant runs on UE3, and we all know how "friendly" UE3 is to the PS3; they were probably running into a hell of a lot of issues with that one so they took the MS money (to be used for advertising I presume) in order to make money this year. Hopefully, Squeenix actually makes tweaks to the PS3 version based on feedback from the 360 version.

[jackdoe]

So if Squeenix is deciding to globally release all titles now, they had better do the same with FFXIII and Versus XIII. Waiting six months for a localization is lame as hell.

[N4g_null]

I'm excited for the xbox 360 now. SE is going to release this stuff before FF13? I always though FF13 would come out first? Maybe this is some sort of test. They want HD and I think they are getting cold feet about the PS3 only approach. They may be going for a GTA type of attack. Hopefully these games get tens also.

[xxBATTLECATxx]

i dont see why theyd do this.....
oh yea, its the moolah.
they shouldve put the games where the fans are (ps/wii)
lets see, a really long game played for many many hours on which system?
thats not a good idea

[t-0_ot-]

Yea.. "they shouldve put the games where the fans are (ps/wii)" That's the problem.. I think ANY and ALL devs that only release a game on ONE system is stupid, unless they get paid to make exclusive. It's a better chance for any company to release their game on multiple systems to make more money.. But, if the company is always producing games for ONE system, then chances are they won't have a fanbase on the OTHER system. Which from a business stand point, then it's stupid.

Most companies, that produce exclusives, won't ever make a fanbase on another console..

[Laexerias]

no sorry.. but i gonna buy me a XB360 just for Star Ocean and Infinite Undiscovery. +_+ ... F*ck man, thats so f*cking unfair.. Square Enix, wats wrong with ya? i thought u were cool man. Nya, FF13 is coming to the superior PS3 so its no problem... its the thoughest SE Franchise so ... its still okay... Im rly pissed now.

[Nevers]

Bad news for wallets. I don't know how I'll afford all these great titles... let alone the time to play them all to my satisfaction. I wouldn't have guessed a year ago that the 360 would have so many rpg's in its current repertoire and more even stronger titles coming.

I'm looking forward to Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery for a while. I'd like some more coherent details on them though. Especially the "Infinite" part... sounds intriguing. I'm wondering if Remnant's coming out for the 360 sooner cuz of it taking longer to code for the PS3, or the FF13 demo delaying it, or a combo of both. I liked the animation I saw on a Vesperia trailer. I'm totally unfamiliar with the Star Ocean series; but, based on most everyone's comments about the series,I can tell, it should be right up my alley.

Kinda liked this article about it.

http://www.networkworld.com...

[kewlkat007]

What level are your characters on Lost Odyssey?

I've never played the SO series, now I'm thinking I should go buy them. I would be taking a detour from this years games as I put a lot into the RPG's I play(Hours). (135hrs in LO). I play them once and try to get everything. I have not time to go back.

[LaChance]

I deletd my comment.

Afetr reading your response to 4d (above)

You seem to be pretty angry/frustrated or whatever.

[juuken]

Maybe I don't like people talking sh*t like 4D over here when they can't even back it up with factual evidence. Maybe I cannot stand ignorant 360 owners who think that MS is the god of gaming just because they managed to throw a bunch of cash around. I may be getting a 360 and the games I want but I cannot stand MS as a company. I have YET to see a 360 owner talk with a certain amount of intelligence and show some intellect.

[Pika-pie]

Nice lineup but no FF... meaning my PS3 purchase is still well justified.

[t-0_ot-]

"meaning my PS3 purchase is still well justified." So, one game makes your purchase justified?? I just hope, for you, that you enjoy FFXIII(?). I haven't liked the latest FF games.. I only enjoyed the early FF games, 1-8..

Sweeeeeet. More RPG goodness.

Extra DLC? There was one pack for some downloadable plasmids.. not exactly groundbreaking new content that 360 owners could live without.

Secondly, Bioshock doesn't have improved graphics.

Those graphics don't look wholey improved over the 360's.

Thirdly, if you don't have a 360 then why comment? Ps3 owners have FFXIII and FF Versus to look forward to and both will be great games no doubt but just to write the games off as bad because they are on a console you don't have or like is stupid. If thats how you base how good a game is then you are seriously missing out on some of the best games ever. (That goes for 360 fanboys and Ps3 fanboys alike. YOu're both as bad as each other)

unexpected but is that star ocean game star ocean 4?????? blah w/e enjoy 360 fans lol, its ps3 too but thought it was ps3 only, i have both, just complainin, this gen doesnt have many exclusives which is annoyin. people like me who have both have both for the few exclusives that exist. otherwise i duno wats sense of having both.....to many multiplat forms, which hinders potential for development. idiocy and greed and high dev cost is cause for this i guess. maybe in 2-3 years p3 will have more rpg exclusives when they wanna tap into higher powers and storage space

[CertifiedGamer]

I will be playing real exclusive like final fantasy 13 and vs. 13 and many games that xbox360 will go 360 over

whats good with all the feelings being hurt in this thread. ok 360 gettin rpgs....sooooooo? i decide to camp in a thread and downplay it?...lol what part of the game is that?...cool out and play ur preferred system and if 360 has most of the games u want to play...buy a arcade sku on the cheap and get ya rpg on. trust me its better than crying on n4g...but hey whatever makes u happy

[sumfood4u]

Booyah!

[360_Rules]

Square enix has lost alot of love from me I didn't even pass any ff games on PS2 because I didn't have a gameshark(I usto beat them when I was young but now I work make money and don't have time to waste hours gaining levels) and as for ff13 I am not as exited as I am for ff vs. 13 because I did pass both kingdom hearts and not to sound stupid but I can't go 2 hours playing random battles getting nowhere Id rather a game like ff vs. 13 where the battles will feel like your wuping someone instead of taking turns much like past ff games.God of war is more of my type of game.Kingdom Hearts is more my type of game. Metal gear, Killzone, Call of duty, Twisted metal,bioshock,rpgs like star wars knights of the old republic games that I can play for 2 hours and feel like I got somewhere not games that I play for 8 hours and found out I didn't do nothing at all.
RPGs were fun but Ima grown ass man and if you become like me where you live in miami,party like a rockstar,and do stuff where gaming seems fun but you let go of the control every so often then youd understand where I am coming from.

No offense to xbots with my earlier comments I ain't want these game not to go multiplatform but the thing is that when developers go multiplatform they be giving the ps3 crappy ports and now with metal gear 4 I am starting to see developers take advantage of the blu-ray advantage and graphic are improving greatly because they are focusing on the ps3.

@jaddinkorri iI guess if Sony was doing the same tactics as MS everything would be fine and dandy in your world.

This will make the biggest impact for the 360 that's for sure. New franchise are great but it's the old proven ones that will bring in the crowd. I think so far the biggest impact the 360 has had is Ace Combat and that was a proven game. Looks like the 360 will be releasing some monster hits the end of the year.
