E308: Final Fantasy XIII trailer [Update]

PS3 fanboys are going to have a field day with this one! ha!

Tears of bloody joy! ;)

I'm a PS3 fanboy, and in a way, I'm glad you guys are getting the game. If a game is truly great, then everyone should have the chance to play it. Obviously this doesn't extend to first and second-party games, which is unfortunate, but in any case, if I were a 360 owner, I'd be happy about this. Just as I am happy that I will get to play BioShock and Eternal Sonata on the PS3. I also think Konami will release MGS4 for you guys in the future as well, and I hope so, because some PS3 fanboys are freaking annoying about it, saying things like "MGS4 is impossible to port to 360." No, it's not.. and hopefully Konami shuts them up sometime in the future. Timed exclusivity is really the best way to go for third-parties, if not simultaneous releases, that way they get the most return on their investment. Developing costs a lot, and games should be made for gamers, irrespective of platform. Except the Wii shovelware - they can keep that crap.

Xav, it feels just as weird for all of us to come here and read about it.

Weird... yet TOTALLY FREAKING AWESOME.

Hahaha.

Seriously, talk about being 1UP'd. Sony is probably arranging an emergency meeting to tackle this new onslaught of awesomeness.

really?, do u think that sony is gonna die just because they lost a game? wow just wow

Oh for the love of... get a god-damn funny-bone will you.

They also won't be getting any of the Fallout 3 DLC. They have nothing...look at PS3Fanboy.com, it's like reading the obituaries over there.

What about Sophitia?

Well at least the tables are turned . Now the 360 will be geting the crappy port for once , and people will see the difference between what's possible on 360 , and what's possible on PS3 .

Yeah!

Final Fantasy versus XIII is supposed to remain a PS3 exclusive. Of course right now I don't think I'd feel particularly inclined to trust Square Enix on matters regarding exclusivity, but there has been no announcement on the release of versus XIII on the 360.

At least having a PS3 I can import the Japanese version of XIII while everyone else waits for localization. I doubt that this will kill the PS3 or "put another nail in its coffin." It just means that there won't necessarily be a surge of PS3 sales when XIII comes out outside of Japan. Assuming a noticeable number of PS3 owners don't trade in their console (which would be a bit dumb, a number of games would have to be re-bought for the 360), then the PS3 just loses one of it's chances to pull ahead.

Out of curiosity, I don't suppose there's any information regarding when this decision was made and whether or not Microsoft played a major role in it, is there?

a) How do you know that? I await to see your proof

b) Old excuse. Didn't bother me when playing Blue Dragon or Lost Oddysey. Also didn't bother me when playing FF games back on the PS1

C) Are you blind as well as dumb. THE XBOX 360 AND PS3 VERSIONS ARE GOING TO BE RELEASED SIMULATANEOUSLY... ALSO KNOW AS...


AT THE SAME BLOODY TIME!

@Scott. Reread the transcript.

They are releasing on PS3 in Japan, then PS3 Euro/US translations, THEN, AND ONLY THEN, ARE THEY STARTING ON THE 360 VERSION..

If it's a simultanious release, it's because Microsoft bunged them cash to hold the PS3 version back.
