AAACE55025d ago

So you 'Thrust' SE? No wonder they are taking so long to release anything... all that thrusting going on!

nickjkl5025d ago

"There have been many questions regarding fields. It's not a completely open world. It's like the 2D FF games in HD. Although, in terms of looks, it's not a top-down view, it's like the screenshots that have been released. You'll move through the world from that view."

what does that even mean

MadMan005025d ago

Oh...so it's like FFXIII? Lol.

Fulensenca5026d ago

Probably you are right ... well, at least we know already how this game is going to be ... ( FFXIII )

Parapraxis5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

...yeah an "urban myth legend"
Because we all know the 360 version of FFXIII was on par with the PS3 one.
/Sarcasm...obviously

Seriously maniacmayhem how fcking mental can you be?

NoBias5026d ago

I'm a 360 fan but I even know that it'll be gimped if it comes to that platform. I want this to remain exclusive to the PS3 so it'll look amazing because this might come as a shock to you but...

*GAAASP*

I'm a PS3 fan as well. And I will be buying this (IF it remains an exclusive).

wow wow guys...

dont be pessimist... till the moment they say... this game is coming to 360..
we still have a chance for the game to be good..

so keep those hopes up...

Megaton5026d ago

I think there's a good chance they'd lose Nomura over that, but it wouldn't surprise me. He's already miserable over there.

SOAD5026d ago

How do you know he's miserable?

Megaton5026d ago

Nomura and Kitase have both been vocal about their issues with management there, going so far as saying they wished Yoichi Wada was DLC for The Last Guy so they could let him die.

SOAD5025d ago

Ok. Why did I get disagrees for asking a question?

Bobbykotickrulesz5025d ago

You're ridiculous, SOAD.

Don't you DARE ask questions around here.

wicko5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Do you have any links to that? I'd be interested in reading what they had to say.

EDIT:
Okay, thanks man. I'll take a look

Megaton5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Nah, but you can probably find it by Googling some combination of "Nomura", "Kitase", and "The Last Guy". I think it was a Famitsu interview from a couple years ago. Nomura seems to make a public complaint every few months.

Fulensenca5026d ago

Urban myth legend? I hope you are right.

But it' s easier to develope on one console instead of two. FACT.

I just care about quality, you are half wrong: if you want to call me a fanboy, then call me a Quality Games Fanboy.

maniacmayhem5026d ago

Being able to develop on two consoles can be easy as long as you have the right tools. FACT.

I am all right and no wrong.

PshycoNinja5025d ago

No you are wrong. I'm currently in school developing games for the PS3, 360 and Wii. And every programmer knows that you have to develop the game from the ground up for all systems if you want the game to be half decent.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

It's Nomura. He doesn't work as a Chief and then work in other consoles that is not PlayStation.

This will stay Exclusive, because is Nomura.

maniacmayhem5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

@ Parapraxis
When were we comparing the two versions? I never said the 360 version was on par with the PS3. Wait let me re-read what I posted...hmmm...nope..no where did i say that.
But there's a lot of peeps on N4G that think just because FF went to 360 that somehow it magically made the game on PS3 suck. So me being mental...nope not at all.

@ NoBias
Again, why won't it look any less amazing if it comes to 360 too? Did FF XII not look better on PS3 than the 360?

"I'm a PS3 fan as well. And I will be buying this (IF it remains an exclusive)."

So much for your name eh?

PshycoNinja5025d ago

you are wrong. You take people (assets) from the PS3 team on the project and move them over to make a 360 team to create the game, hence losing time, money and resorces for the PS3 team on the project.

baker_boi5025d ago

No, it didn't magically make the PS3 version suck. In light of the having to have two software versions hold a fair amount of the same content things were cut from the game.

This was probably to keep development and conversion time to a minimum.

In this way you could drop both versions date and time together without it taking a full year or more.

Plus the over all changes to the game system and the large quality drop from the PS3 demo to the final retail code would lead one to believe that shit got gimped.

You don't cut your arm off because it's working well, do you?

Erotic Sheep5025d ago

Maniac dont be so stupid. Content was being cut from the game and we all saw the vid of the PS3 comparing the early ones with the final build. The final build looked worse...
What the hell man? You think SE would make a multiplatform game with such big differences between both platforms? MS would flame them down. No, instead they had to compromise.. you know.. downgrade one version to make it equal with the other version.

Wisen up

Odin7775026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

@ NoBias You're right if they go ahead and make FFXII Versus multiplatform it'll definitely be gimped. I'm not saying it'll be bad, contrary to popular belief FFXIII is actually a pretty solid game, but it definitely won't live up to its full potential.

-MD-5026d ago

Only a fanboy would want a game to stay on a single platform. Real gamers would want as many people as possible to have access to the game.

Go ahead and try and tell me that the 360 would hold it back and I'll tell you that if you really want maximum potential then it needs to be on the PC and not a console computer from 2006.

Odin7775025d ago

Well I would like all of the platforms have exclusives. I don't give a fuck about that "I'm a real gamer I want everyone to experience the game" bullshit. If they want to play the game they should have to pick up the platform. I would rather the developer focus on one platform rather worrying about porting to another and all the problems that causes.

19425025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

"Only a fanboy would want a game to stay on a single platform. Real gamers would want as many people as possible to have access to the game."

actually only a fanboy would want a game to be gimped so that they can play it on the system they have instead of having it at it's best on one console that they don't have. real gamers want good games regardless of if others get to play it or not. all i have to say is we know that this game is more open, has towns, few load screens, real time fights, better graphics then ff13, is HD and uses some cgi plus more if it goes multiplat and any of that is gone you know it will because of the 360. also 360 fanboys you need to calm down you bragged about ff13 going multiplat and got the worst version. this one is doing more then that so it would just end up worst on the 360 then ff13.

PirateThom5025d ago

Yeah, multiplatforms for the sake of gloating is the most fanboyish thing possible... the game has been described, already, as the 2D Games in 3D... the minute they cut it from 1 disc down to whatever you're going to have loading, streaming and backtracking issues. This doesn't help development AT ALL and, in fact, leads to some outright disasterous results.

It's not 1997 anymore.

PirateThom5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Yeah, wanting games to remain exclusive isn't fanboyism... the game has been described, already, as the 2D Games in 3D... the minute they cut it from 1 disc down to whatever you're going to have loading, streaming and backtracking issues. This doesn't help development AT ALL and, in fact, leads to some outright disasterous results. Wanting the best game possible is not fanboyish.

And this isn't a "it can't run it" argument, this is a multiple disc, "it's not 1997 anymore" arguement.

PshycoNinja5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

You are wrong. You take people (assets) from the PS3 team on the project and move them over to make a 360 team to create the game, hence losing time, money and resorces for the PS3 team on the project.

Basicly if you make the game multiplatform the PS3 version of the game never reachs it's intended potential and the game also comes out later than a lot of fans would have liked (see: FFXIII)

Multiplatform = Longer development time + never reachs intended potential = Late release dates && upset fans

Optical_Matrix5025d ago

@Murderdolls. Don't chat shit. You'd go nuts if Halo, Mass Effect or Gears went multiplat and the majority of you 360 WOULD care. Real gamers want the best quality games and it's a well known FACT that if a game focuses on a single platform, it has higher capacity to achieve great things. Do you really think multiplat games utilize the PS3's SPU's the same way games like Killzone 2, UC2 and GOWIII? No. Because devs need to find an equal footing between the two systems so to make the games as similar as possible.

C0MPUT3R5025d ago

Its about performance & content.
.
When devs want to build a huge diverse world with lots of content & story.
.
Devs will choose 50 gigs of space over 6.8 gigs to fulfill their vision for their project.
.
So that actually makes YOU a FANBOY if you want devs to gimp their projects, just so it can be on the other system.

TheGameFoxJTV5021d ago (Edited 5021d ago )

Don't give a shit. As long as the game is fun, I'll buy it. The only difference i see between my 360, PS3, and PC is the controllers(or mouse). Other than that who gives a flying fuck; I don't work for MS, Sony, or any of the dev teams.

SE can redeem themselves if they do FFvs13 right, FF13 was an good game in itself, but it just didn't have the FF vibe we have known and loved for generations.

wicko5025d ago

"It's not a completely open world. It's like the 2D FF games in HD." This was all I really needed to hear. I have faith in FF again.

maniacmayhem5026d ago

Not even remotely interested in this game anymore.

There was a time when an FF title meant something. Now with so many other great RPG's out there the great FF just doesn't hold the same swagger as it used to.

karl5026d ago

maybe not to you.. final fantasy may be an RPG.. but thats not the souls of the game to me...

but the fantasy in it.. all the culture that they create just for the game...
and amazing worlds..

i kwnow this is still the game to play for me.. and so many others...
SE still has the potential .. we only need to wait and see if they can reach that level again...

you don't have to talk trash about other consoles to get your point across.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 23h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 9h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 4h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
