Last Remnant will be released on Xbox 360 first, worldwide this winter

CrazzyMan - 557 days 19 hours ago

just one day ago, you didn`t know about SO4 and LR are timed exclusives. =)
For example, square could easy announce Kingdom Hearts 3 on E308. =)
Or FF7 remake, THIS would be really BIG. =]

But yeah, M$ are doing good job with their money, well that`s all what they can do. =]
Anyway, all what M$ will get it`s additional 300-500k of rpg fans..(maybe), since timed exclusive is NOT an exclusive. =]

Why should i care when i don't own a PS3.As long as many arrive on the 360 then i am fine.The xbox had next to nothing in terms of good JRPG's and this time it's completely different.

Tales of vesperia in july,Infinite undiscovery september and last remnant this winter.A bird at hand is worth 2 in the bush.

Keep blaming MS for Sony's screwups, it won't change anything, just makes you look jealous. I think the reason for the delay is the same as usual, the PS3 is lagging behind in development.

Gonna go try the demo now, XBL is pure awesomeness!

The game is probably garbage anyway if the demo is already out this early and read the article cause they don't even say the date for the PS3. Are you for sure it's coming out later, earlier, or same time?

Woah, well done MS Japan!

You've gotten your own Tales game series by the looks of it, 'Tales of Versperia', much like the Wii has Symphonia.

You've got the likes of Cry On coming up, by the amazing Sakaguchi and it Lost Odyssey is anything to go by then that will be win!

Add the likes of Infinite Undiscovery to that list.

Now you've gotten Star Ocean 4 under your belt.

Then you've hit it with Last Remnant, by SquareEnix as a Timed Exclusive.

Can't give them more than enough praise, even if Japan doesn't because even if they don't want all this good stuff, I do ;)

It baffles me how you guy have not figured out son'y plans by now.They are focused on the west at the moment.If you add in europe and North america which are way more financially lucrative than japan they are dead last this gen.So they are focused on releasing a lot of shooters.Killzone 2,Socom confrontation,Resistance 2 to an extent MGS4 and also securing 3rd party shooters like Haze.

They feel that if they relax a bit with the western market they will loose out completely from all the money that europe and NA produce.

The 360's performance in Japan is so poor that Sony knows that they will kill the 360 when they decide to focus on the eastern market.

But here in lies the problem.What if the Last remnant and infinite undiscovery sell very well overall on the 360 (it's possible afterall Lost Odyssey is at 700,000 copies sold), more eastern devs will jump to the 360 as well to tap into the lucrative western market.

It could pay off for Sony at the end but who can tell but we will just have to wait and see.But all i can say is that after years of FPS's ruling the 360 and Xbox this is definitely a great directional change .

Don't worry, enjoy your FPS's.Socom,Resistance 2 and Killzone2 all look Fabulous and by the time your done with them you will be tired of FPS's and then you will see a flood of the other genre's on the PS3.

I seriously doubt there will be so many FPS on the PS3 next year in the spotlight you will see a more diverse line up ie GOW3, FF13, GT5 to name a few.

solidt12 - 557 days 12 hours ago

I got to give Microsoft credit for being determined to get a base in Japan even if the result haven't been good so far. Anyway I guess I will wait for this game to hit the PS3 before I buy it. I have a 360 also but I just can't see my self buying this on the 360 on multiple disc when I can have it on one Blu-Ray.

Dude... I'm totally stoked. I've been wanting more info on Last Remnant and that's totally icing on the cake. Can't wait to see if it's available yet at lunch...

I'm wondering if the timed exclusivity is due to development taking longer for the PS3 or that they're still in development of the FF13 demo that they were planning to release with the PS3 version of Remnant. Proly a combo of both.

...during my lunch and there was not a demo :( But there was a new trailer for Revenant, Star Ocean 4, and co-op gamplay footage of Too Human.

They all looked great... but Star Ocean 4 looked amazing IMHO.

But I think its kind of scary seeing Sony hasnt said nothing much. I think e3, look out because sony might unleash something big to counter all this. Can we all say FF13 gameplay and release date? Should be an awesome year for all gamers. :)

i hope but i think that sony lose Final Fantasy XIII if they don't move...

all square enix title will be multi...Sony losing credibility day after day

first 8 days and getaway then red alert 3 then Tenchu then SO4 then Last remnant

missing only Tekken 6 and FFXIII e MGS4 in multi and no one buy a ps3 more...

i am disappointed...Microsoft give games,Sony give ads and maybe home...

i think to sell my ps3...Come on Sony...wake up...

LOl i also thought it was gears. Anyway by ads i hope u meant trailers cuz that's where sony shines and its fans just keep on watching. They like to watch fake trailers of XMB being shown, then firmware updates than 8 days trailers, afrika etc. Thats why PSN prob has more trailers then demos.

I think the game is using the Unreal engine so it may take a bit more time to finish on PS3 and will probably look better on the PS3 since it will come out a little later.

I'm basing this on what I read a year ago when the engine didn't work so great with Sony so I could be wrong and the Unreal engine works fine now on the PS3 since more devs have figured out the hardware. The Japanese support Japanese made things so they probably will wait for the Sony release.

End game, sorry but that just clinches it for the Sony version fo the game. I would pay 60 bucks for this game on the PS3 knowing that 40 of that would be for the sole purpose of playing a FFXIII demo. SLICK DEAL!

The thing is people keep talking about Sony's secret games each and everytime.Do they not know that Nintendo and Microsoft also have secret games in the works as well especially after Shane kin has stated that they will be focusing more attention to 1st part games in the future.

The thing is that what is even the point of showing us these secret games and have a release date of 2010 at the earliest knowing Sony and the release history.They might just end up being cancelled like 8 days and the getaway.Show us when it's a couple of months from release.

well mine is dead right now, ha. but i think ur really wrong there. this one game becoming a timed exclusive will mean stuff all really.

like how ps3 got timed exclusives on unreal 3 and haze and that did stuff all. even if this game gets 9.5's i still dont think it will do much.

i only have a ps3 and i mainly own it because of its exclusives that are already out and still coming. I dont really buy many multi platform games, i dunno why but they really dont appeal to me. ps3 exclusives are usually soo fun.... I went a bit off topic hey!
