SWEET! And it's still PS3 exclusive bwahahahahaha! This is the one most people cared about anyway. I mean seriously it's from Kingdom Hearts / Advent Children teams and plus it'll probably be Rated M. :D

Can't WAIT!

Dark vader5746d ago

Yes i think this one will stay exclusive.

NO_PUDding5746d ago

Simultaneous worldwide!!! Reeks of MGS4 awesomeness.

PSP is pimped by this event. And PS3 get's a tiny bit of love thusfar, lets see what else there is.

vegnadragon5746d ago

I'll never believe in square with exclusive anymore, until it's release date. I mean come on, ff13 for the last 2 years, PS3 only to you know what.

Poor Xbots5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

You still need a PS3 for a full FF13 experience.

Viktor E5746d ago

Nomura just took a huge dump on Xbox 360 Players Chests...

B-Rein5746d ago

TheGrimReaper5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

FF VersusXIII's trailer says "Playstation3 only Worldwide".

They mixed up the exclusivity with the release!

Somnus5746d ago

Come on soul, keep up. >_>

Panthers5746d ago

? It doesnt say anything about the exclusivity. Just says it will ship worldwide simultaneously. No waiting for them to send it to US or EU.

strotee5746d ago

Settle down chief.

Simultaneous release, world-wide. Meaning, Japan/EU/NA will get it all at the same time. No one said squat about it coming to the 360; but don't fret, MS is likely writing the check as we speak. *sigh, keeps fingers crossed for exclusivity*

TheGrimReaper5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

Don't get it huh???

"Playstation 3 only Worldwide"

reference to FF XIII 360&PS3 US+EU but PS3 only in Japan...

Hope you realized now that this story is simply wrong

Just check the source of Forever-fantasy.net -> http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

EDIT: Disagree ? why that?

Fact 1: Versus IS PS3 Exclusive WORLDWIDE
Fact 2: They never said simultaneous release

sushipoop5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

Ah I get what you're saying now lol. Versus is exclusive to PS3 everywhere, not just in Japan. Sorry about that lol.

Panthers5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

I got what you are saying now. It does not say Simultaneous anywhere in the post. Just says worldwide, which is trying to tell everyone it is still exclusive.

TheGrimReaper5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

Calm down!

I was misunderstood!

My point was that they haven't said it will release at the same time worldwide!

OF COURSE Versus IS a PS3 Exclusive!

@3.7

Thank You! I was kind of desperate right now T_T

rofldings5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

I agree with Grim, when they showed the new FF13 trailer at E3, they said "PlayStation 3 Only, in Japan" ... meaning it was still exclusive in Japan ... I think they're trying to say the same thing here, but worldwide not a simultaneous worldwide release.

Sucks to be an Xbox 360 only player,Microsoft should issue a Public Apology to all those who spent their hard earned money on a Steak Warmer.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies9h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken4h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6920h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker20h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6920h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt8h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken4h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 2h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 1h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 1h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies15h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
