[Sony Rep]

Now this is interesting. Since, they are the same developers making that new RPG game for the PS3.

Where are the people who were bashing that game because of the developer??

[Wildarmsjecht]

I remember a few of them. They continued to bash the PS3 game as well because of the developers less than stellar track record. Which presents 2 points:

1, people will bash a game if it's on another platform regardless of which it is.

2, people will bash a game if the developer has been known for mediocre at best titles in the past, even if they might have gotten better.

What a world eh?

[Man_of_the_year]

Hmm i don't recall reading anywhere in the posts about anyone bashing those developers as i like the software devs. Maybe you could provide a link so that i can read what all those people were saying about software.

Also..seems a little strange that a "sony rep" is the first to post in an xbox 360 thread...are you looking to troll??

[Jamie Foxx]

for microsoft compared to sony is sparse for the tokyo game show...sony 9 unannounced exclusives not including the ones we know about...TGS promises to be interesting

wonder if microsoft have another FF13 shocker up their sleeves? if not looking at that list n4g will be full of ps3 won TGS,trust me...

[The Lazy One]

It would be full of that if Sony showed up with nothing but twinkies and spent the whole conference smoking out back.

[Beast_Master]

I only saw one exclusive (nuts and bolts), is that right? I am not sure about Star Ocean 4 I heard it is timed right? Anyway it doesn't appear as though MS is interested in competing with Sony at this show, which they shouldn't considering Japan is a lost cause.

[juuken]

Ninja Blade does look interesting.

at last sony's working on bringing jrpg's to the ps3! now we have the promising White Knight Chronicles that looks super awesome and like the first real next gen jrpg, FFXIII, FFXIII versus, Disgaea, The Last Remnant and now this one. ;-)

published by SCEE ;-D

edit: oh F***, the dev are From Software... this game's bound to be a piece of crap. ;-( "

[BlackRaven85]

Japan is not a loss cause, are you even around to here that Japan is actually buying the things now. IU and Tales of are the two games that sold well. Don't be blind.

[Man_of_the_year]

Well i see a lot of people questioning the quality and backing it up with what their past work has achieved - however i still don't see all that many posts where they actually "BASH" the devs of Software. Maybe you exaggerated just a little bit there don't ya think...

[GametimeUK]

The 360 is on its way out

[AAACE5]

It seems like they don't have enough games directly targeted toward the japanese audience! I expected the majority to be games that I couldn't pronounce. But I guess it could work!

[Internet Trolling Ex]

I'm not that impressed to be honest

[OmarJA]

M$ quit while u still can u will only embarrassing ur self

this is SONY's ground

[theKiller]

around 90% r multiplatform games!!

they lost the war!! what a shame, they dare even to show fifa!! hahahaha!!

[Shane Kim]

lol there are like 3 exclusives. And 2 of them are really, really weak.

[dro]

is ms show gonna be like e3 again!!! showing of a bunch of multi plat games and only a few exlusives.... :/
EDIT : and also race driver grid came out a long time ago, y the hell will they put it as part of there show,im guessing they paid for exlusive dlc,"BIG DEAL"!?!?!?!?!? i tought the hole point was to show of brand new ip... facepalm/....!!!

[Harry190]

isn't out in Japan yet.I hope to hear about a few more exclusives.

[chrisnick]

saints row2?......lol....half of those won't happen......again....and i cant stress this enough..THEY NEED MORE EXCLUSIVES!!!

[GodGinrai]

they need to take a leaf out of sonys book on this one and build more in-house teams and on an international basis at that (in house teams in europe,japan and the US). They also need to stop letting 360 games like bio shock, mass effect and gears go to the pc.It dents the 360`s appeal to more tech savvy consumers, i think. and they need to get rare to start making some proper games again!

[Beast_Master]

I agree but rare is just one studio, I mean Sony has Insomonic and Media Molocule to push out casual stuff. They need to have at least one studio pushing casual games out. I think MS needs to add a couple of studios, because I just don't see that Gears or Halo big game coming next fall to compete with God of War 3. I think they are about even this fall but next year I would not be surprised if they don't have much of a lineup, unless they push back Halo Wars which still isn't that exciting.

[Guwapo77]

MS has a few studios but they have been axing them down lately. Not sure what the reasoning behind it is.

[PimpHandStrong]

~~flame thrower is warm

I wonder what Sony is going to show

[Agent002]

...I'm not impressed.
They need to do better than that.

[PimpHandStrong]

more then half those games are coming to the PS3

[Agent Orange]

wow! about 90% of these games are coming to ps3 also, nice

[LightningPS3]

both consoles have them. But guess what? PS3 costs way more, so it's a problem for PS3.

[OmarJA]

PS3 cost more and it's got more exclusives

[jmoneezie]

People spend money on A-AAA exclusives not just any exclusive. So stop trying to make things seem so simple. I mean if you look at Sony AAA verse average record on exclusives, I can't really see why you zombies are milking this exclusive cow.

Do you not have better ammo than that?

Edit: Additionally people can only buy so many games, if there are 10 top multiplats out there and 10 top exclusives for the PS3. Someone is gonna loose money. And being the you loyal Sony drones will support Sony at all cost, that means the 3rd parties are going to loose. Perhaps this is why multiplats seem to have more put into them on the 360 than on the PS3.

Perhaps Sony's desire to release so many exclusives have hurt them when it comes to 3rd party quality. Not to mention, sony also seem to balloon up their sales numbers for their titles by bundling them. Can anyone name one PS3 A-AAA title that hasn't been bundled in all the major markets?

Just a thought.

[No Way]

"PS3 cost more and it's got more exclusives" That's true... sorta.

The PS3 has more 'Upcoming' Exclusives. But, the whole debate of which you guys are talking about has to deal with a new consumer. So, with that being said, the 360 has a larger amount of exclusives, right now. It's a good chance that a new consumer is going to be buying some exclusive games that came out in the past, not just the future.

So, right now, as it stands, the 360 still has the larger amount of exclusives.
The PS3 just has a larger 'Upcoming' exclusive list.

[SCThor]

The problem in your logic is that I CAN play all MS exclusives without having a Xbox360 in the first place, I just buy the PC version. But if you want to play PS3 exclusives you don't have other choice that playing them on PS3

[BlackRaven85]

SCThor, really? I didn't know Square-Enix or Microsoft released IU, Tales of, Halo 3, Lost Odyssey, Viva Pinata, Kameo, Amped 3, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Beautiful Katamari, Blue Dragon, Crackdown, Dead or Alive 4, and countless others on the PC. You must have gotten the special limited edition ones, that nobody has ever found. Jackass.

[mirroredderorrim]

Hm. Lotta multi-plats in that list.

[venum]

They need more exclusive. there is too much multiplateform game there.

[LightningPS3]

just about every 3rd party game is coming to XBOX 360.

People keep saying most of XBOX 360's games are also on PS3. Yeah well most of PS3's games are also on XBOX 360.

But PS3 costs more, so this hurts PS3. So many of the games are multi this gen, that's why I feel price is such a big factor.

I'm so disappointed in PS3, I figured they would come out firing this year and start winning back some market share since they have pretty good games. I mean they trail 360 in North America already about 3 to 1.

But instead it's 360 that has recieved like 2 price cuts already this year, making sure they win again. And extend their lead to 4 to 1 or more.

And Sony has done nothing. If they stay retarded like this, they will be out of it very soon.

In 2007 their problem was games, they didn't have games. They would do anything to have games. Now they have games, but they are totally priced out again.

So it does them no good. They are still in the same sunken ship.

If nothing changes, it will be another holiday where XBOX 360 outsells PS3 about 2-1, if not more.

I'm just hoping that the NPD wakes Sony up.

[bozhangles]

and my 360 could break. what is your point lightningPS3?

[Agent Orange]

cant play all those multiplat games if you got RROD right?

[KingDizzi]

How can the PS3 be out if it is 2M ahead of 360 in Japan after 360 got so many JRPG?

Anyone with a brain knows it is the other way round, WKC in December and the advent children bundle in March is when 360 can finally rest in peace in Japan.

Once those 2 games release I think even MS will admit Japan is a lost cause and just give up unless that really want a million sales in Japan.

[dro]

pls shut up!! u have no idea what ur talking about, yes the ps3 cost more but the ps3 also has more exlusive coming out. put your self in the shoes of someone that goes to see the show live, they see ms show and see a bunch of multi plat games and a few exlusive and then they go to see sony show and see there 9 brand new exlusive games that has alerday been confirmed that will be shown,which one do u think the people will like more and which console do u think they will by; i know it u know it they know it and every one knows that EXLUSIVES games is were consumers will be looking foward to not a multi plat game. and also the 360 is cheaper than the wii and the ps3 is double or may b even triple the price of the wii and ms has only out sold it by a couple of thousands last month,dont u think with that price it should b outselling the wii, after all it is the cheapest hd console around.

[mirroredderorrim]

I don't think Microsoft can touch final fantasy 7.

Sony helped make FF7 what it is and that goes without saying they have some pull on the name Final Fantasy VII, whether they own stake in the company still, after merging with Enix or they had some agreement solidifying that if the need arises, they will seek out the FF7 remake cashcow.

SquareEnix would be complete idiots to ignore FF7 remake, no matter what platform.

[sajj316]

Lighting .. this is why you would make a horrible decision maker. Just relax. Sony would cut prices if they could. The demand for PS3 has not substantially lowered since the 360 price cuts. You are getting alot of value in a $399.99 PS3. You just can't compare the two systems (arcade versus 80GB). Sony CAN NOT be reactive to the MS price wars. Sony must dictate if they expect to win this generation and expect to be profitable. You CAN NOT price yourself out of the picture ... meaning price so low that it sparks incredible demand. Demand so high that you can't meet because of production costs.

[Imallvol7]

have you played LBP??? Nuff said.

[The Lazy One]

Don't be ignorant. The best lineup this year is the third party multi platform lineup, and because of 360's better pricepoint it takes the advantage from those.

The PS3 also does not have more exclusives, they have about the same, you just have to look at a list that includes them.

[juuken]

Uh...Lazy One, I beg to differ with the list being the same. Sony has about nine or eleven unannounced exclusives we know nothing about.

Unless I'm wrong.

[PiTCHBLaCK]

There is a reason WHY the PS3 Cost more, read
my TEXT Carefully, the PS3 Has more inside, like
a Blu ray player for one, that can easily cost
$400 by itself, so like DUH, of course
the PS3 Cost more, were you expecting it
to be cheaper?

Quit friggin fishing for an excuse to bash the PS3, it
Insults your own Intelligence.

[rebirthofcaos]

WOW about 16 multi XD XD what a weak line up

[Sony Rep]

then again, the two people going to the show for 360 games won't mind.

[pornflakes]

so which exklisives do they need? They have all imported one which everybidy knows on the world. Games like uncharted oder resistance really dont care.. they are good games.. but will never catch up with games which have a names since the Playstation1 (RE5, FF, DMC, GTA...)

+ cheaper console to buy
+ all better looking games
+ great online service for only 6 USD
+ a Working online service
+ worldwide award winning controller
+ no game installs
+ no firmware updated every weeks
+ No RRoD since the Falcon board (only for ps3midgets they still have one)
+ Avatars which will be out before the 2years delays PSHome which will flop at the end because of too much crap in it as the avatar system will be easy for everybody.
+ 360 gamers DONT care about other games, about bad news.. they know what they get as PS3boys spam in every topic like some retards that their bad looking games are 360 fault, lol!

[Paiton]

1) 3rd60 does not have better games.
2) The PS3 has more triple A games than 3rd60 has in flops.
3) XBOX LIVE does not cost 6 bucks. It costs 250 bucks for 5 years. You can buy a frikkin Wii for that amount.
4) No game installs is a bad thing. Makes the game have longer loading times, makes the game crash, makes the system unstable, makes the graphics look subpar.
5) And the problem is because you dont have HDD which means you cant do anything like store music and photos.
6) RROD is present. 33% fking percent of it. Falcon did not fix RROD. Falcon did decrease RROD. Some people are on their 10 fking xboxses.
7) No firmware updates every week on the 3rd60! Bunch of fking hackers and cheaters online increasing every week!
8) No Blu Ray drive.
9) OWNED

[OmarJA]

Pathetic... nothing new SONY alone has 11 PS3 exclusives & a few surprises

"Banjo to Kazooie no Daibouken: Garage Daisakusen" ROFLMMFAO

[PiTCHBLaCK]

@"Banjo to Kazooie no Daibouken: Garage Daisakusen" Yeah I saw
that long name, can't even pronounce that, looks german or
russian.

[mirroredderorrim]

Don't forget to mention if Micro does not announce FFXIII in Japan, that will be another nail in the Japanese coffin, crossing the river of 3 hells along the way.

[sajj316]

The list is good but it lacks Final Fantasy XIII. If this game is announced for release in Japan for the 360, this will be a HUGE blow to Sony. I understand the Level 5 factor for Sony ... but lets be real. Level 5 is now Square Enix. The only real consolation to Japanese PS3 owners is if Square Enix also announces the much wanted Final Fantasy VII remake exclusive to the PS3. Then again ... saying exclusive and Square Enix these days sounds weird!

[heyheyhey]

who is 5pb?

[robotnik]

I still want Star Ocean for the PS3. Hope they release, if not, Im going nuts

[OmarJA]

Don't worry they WILL release it on PS3 they never actually claimed it will be exclusive on the 360 after all this is Square-Enix

[tocrazed4you]

shut the hell up about the price every god dang day man

[pornflakes]

"Pathetic... nothing new SONY alone has 11 PS3 exclusives & a few surprises "

Iam pathetic since 2 years.. go aways midget.

[OmarJA]

Midget ? i would rather have AAA titles with 2-3 years in development than flops with ten years in development LOL

[MajesticBeast]

price equals quality seriously lightning look at the features the ps3 has blu ray build in wifi a solid almost unbreakable system not having a power brick that can kill people doesnt set houses on fire has internet

[Imallvol7]

Three exclusives?

[CrazyOrange]

why didnt microsoft show unannounced Games as TBA , they liketo make it surprise ?!

like Sqaure enix x xbox360 project

[Stryfeno2]

MS has that Ace up their sleeve again...Can't wait to see what MEGATON bomb drop.

[StrikingDmc4]

megaton bomb ironic eh?

[power of Green]

I wouldn't pay any attention to lists not announced by MSFT, even if they do mention games they're not going to tell the public what they have in secret or how many etc. lol

[leyego]

im with you on that one
im pretty sure they have SOMETHING hidden, they wont let sony take ALL the spotlight. y else would MS want to host the TGS.

unless they are admitting defeat and want to announce it to the world.

just my 2 cents

edit: congrats, i bet this is the first agree u deserved in a long time here on N4G.

[rosebowl23]

unimpressive lineup

[demonddel]

Dont forget sega had alot of exclusive too,if it dont sell its pointless lair,uncharted,and heavenly sword dint sell much so think about it sony dont have that kinda money to throw around just to please you y'all better hope these games sell cause if not some of those exclusive gonna start being cancel, microsoft started depending on third party games something that sony did the last two gens.

[juuken]

It's not a bad list but seriously...that's it? .-.

[acetw1n]

And I thought sony's line up was bad

[peowpeow]

Has Sony confirmed there are 9(10 or 11, not sure) unannounced exclusives?

I'm sure MS will announce Something..unless....( you can finish that sentence ;) )

[zonetrooper5]

Just wait until the MS conference either they will annouce new IP's or not and its up to MS what the hell they do with their console.

[DFresh]

The Square Enix games look good but I don't think that's enough to attract the whole Japanese audience. No new games to announce and 90% of those games mentioned are multiplatform.

[pixelsword]

Nice lineup for the 360. I'm a PS3 guy myself, and on top of that, I don't eat/drink/sleep PS3 so I don't know how many of those are exclusives or not, but the lineup is pretty big.

[Another One]

Well apparently their Final Fantasy like big announcement is probably going to be a couple Halo related games. I know Bungie is over there and also heard that the Peter Jackson Halo game might be, at least, talked about. I would expect that whatever Bungie is doing will be their big announcement and showing.

[swinesucker]

decent lineup

[Citizen Cook]

enough said.

Play behind droids...

[brothersimon]

Fable 2, ALL I WANT!!

Shame PS3 lacks such good exclusives,otherwise i'd consider buying one :(

[aiphanes]

It is going to be a port...It will not be the same game as the PS3 version. The PS3 version will come out a year before the Xbox 360 version in Japan....Square and microsoft would have to come out next week and say that the Xbox 360 version will be comming out the same time and the PS3 version in Japan....this is not going to happen. Square said that the Xbox 360 version will start porting after the PS3 version is finished and released in Japan. All the Japanese folks will be buy the PS3 version when it comes out next year.
