This isn't a strange idea at all.
Sony never gives full control of the hardware with the dev kits.
It happened with PS1, with PS2 and PSP (when they unlocked the full speed of the CPU only with GOW: COO)
Anyway, if I were a 3rd party dev I would feel a complete failure looking at Uncharted or Killzone 2 knowing that I won't try to make the best product I can.
I wait for Modern Warfare 2.
If they don't match Kill...
I wonder why they bothered to release the game on PS3.
Bethesda's PS3 users base has quite died.
The only thing for sure is that they didn't play on a 360.
I'm not doing any kind of prediction, but I'm confident Sony will blow everything to pieces.
Yes, I think this year will be huge for all the 3 devs and for many devs, but we, PS3 owners, have to support better our machine.
Come on! Hurry up and put this game on PSN.
You know what really makes me angry.
You can give for sure that EVERY PS3 owner has already been a PS2 owner.
We, with our money, made companies like Capcom what they are now, and they give us they're back, only because they get bribes from Microsoft.
I'm a Sony loyalist but I'm not against multiplatform titles (even if I know that multiplat titles won't be the better titles) and I undestrand that the first target of a company is to realize money, but are we reall...
The man with the MaxPayne avatar is right, we don't have money that comes out from our holes.
While Infamous and Prototype were kind of similar, Bionic Commando was supposed to be different, a game that required more skills, with a different pace, another structure, maybe less fun and button mushing but more "hardcore", if you understand what I mean.
But if I can't try the game, well, I'll go for the fun.
I'm starting to think that Microsoft tried to "steal" this franchise to have a benefit for their console, but in the end everything will backfire.
1-At least 70% of FF fans are concerned that the game has been gimped to be made on the 360 (and the news about the weight of the demo are not good)
2-The game on the 360 won't ever be on par with the PS3 due to the compression, and Microsoft will find itself in the position in which, to show strenghth, it wi...
WOW! this is a smart decision.
Thanks Capcom, I think that I'll wait to buy this game until I find it second hand.
I'll pick Prototype instead, since I had the budget to buy only 2 games in that period, and one is surely Infamous.
The world is back to turn in the right way, with Sony hardware in the lead.
Now we have to wait that a part of the America (mostly the kids below the 15) start to understand which one is the machine that is doing good for the progression of the business and which one is only ads and checques.
You should count that all the combat assets are in common, more animation are in common, so at least 2,5 GB are common data.
What is sure is that the more you compress the data, the longer the loading times will be.
Picking the 360 version will absolutely not be the wisest decision.
Every true FF fan will buy the game for the PS3 but I'm sure many 360 fanboys will buy the game just to boost sales on their console.
I'm really sorry for using the term "Japs".
I'm not American, I'm Italian, and a similar word is used from the Otaku (like me) to call the Japanese people in a friendly way.
So, I'm really sorry and I apologize for the use of that term.
It has been a language incident.
Well, I've learnt something new, thanks.
This week Japan sees the release of FFVII: AC Blu-Ray, with an awesome bundle, the one that Japs love to death.
So it's really possible that some Japs decided to wait a week before buying their PS3.
People doesn't understand 2 things.
1) The first is that Microsoft won't EVER release a flawless product, it's not in their DNA, they began with Windows 95 through the recent Vista case.
2) Microsoft doesn't deserve people's money, because the success of the 360 is based on some games made by 3rd parties. If dev's support would have been somewhere else, online wouldn't have mattered anything for its success.
Final note: as an European, I wonder how in a ti...
Kojima was not even satisfied with the capacity of the BluRay, I don't think he can try to restrain his vision on a DVD.
A 360 would mean an audio su 7.1, a different AI, different graphics.
Remember also that Sony has only allowed the use of 5 SPU from Killzone2 onward, like they allowed the full use of the PSP since Chain Of Olympus, it's their way to make the life of their consoles longer.
Woooooooooooooooooooh!!!
Another great announce.
And I hope this time the game will be recognized to be better than Super Mario Galaxy, since Tools already was.
Mass Effect (the first) for PS3 will be announced at E3.
Then Mass Effect 2 will be a timed exclusive.
EA can't ignore at least 21 millions of users.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Microsoft pays devs to make the PS3 look worse.
They pay for everthing, and this wouldn't be a fool move.
But I have to agree that Sony first party have another level of tech support.
If I remember well, there's a studio (I don't rememer the name, but it's connected with Naughty Dog and Santa Monica), that works only to find better software solutions for PS3.
