"There's tons of new pre-rendered footage"

Ok can we just get over this already? It's 2008 SquareEnix. The PS1 is GONE.

@Co

I do not understand your comment. Are you trying to imply that the way of the future is last generation graphics, no cut scenes, no dialogue and no story? Obviously any comment you make refers to the Wii in one way or another so maybe you can clarify what you mean. In general, its pretty rare to see some in game footage of a hot title at E3.

@ John McPoop

I think he means with the PS1 there was a huge difference in quality between the cutseens and the real time graphics, but with the PS3/ 360 you should really be able to get anyway with using the games engine rather than using prerendered video.

Look at RE5's game engine.

Why do we need pre-rendered cut scenes?? I loved how even the N64 would run cut scenes with the in game engine (obviously due to the limited space of the carts). Thank goodness for that limited space tho, pre rendered cut scenes on the PS1 just reminded me how ugly the in game graphics were.

these these trailers make me wish i had the patience to play rpgs

Geez man, we get it! You're anti-PS3

I didn't even mentioned that console.

No he loves sony why else would be spend so much time and energy on flame it? I cant stand the wii's kiddie appeal and I dislike FPS's so i stay away from xbox. but i dont go out of my way to downtalk them cuz i really could care less what they do. but to each their own.

It seems Fernando can't even bring himself to type 'PS3' any more. He has to refer to it as 'that console'.

I agree. Also, it would be nice if Kingdom Hearts III wasn't a button-masher with cutscenes every 10 seconds.

Fernando you are such a hater.

Seriously First the Ps3 Now Old people,Children,Women and Black people,What's wrong with you?

I don't think we should talk with you anymore.


(J/K obviously seriously why he was downvoted?)

I downvoted Fernando because I want to be one of the cool kids! Yeah!

...seriously? Grow the hell up, guys. Let the poor guy be.

I agree, all you guys are showing is that you're worse than Fernando ever was. This isn't 4chan, don't hope on hate bandwagons in some vain attempt to be popular on a gaming message board/blog. I've voted him up and all the haters down.

No, we need FF XIII something for Wii. Neither KH or FF will sell well on Wii because the only hardcore gamers on Wii are you, me, and... nobody else.

Face it, Fernando. We ain't gettin' love from no one but Ninty. And it's a harsh, cruel love indeed.

y u guis down voted fernanny
D:
Also KH does seem kind of like a game suited to the wii and its market. Is there any reason that it can't/wouldn't be developed?

I agree with Fernando on this. The Wii deserves at least something of the same caliber. DQS and Chocobo's Dungeon isn't anywhere near good enough.

lol what i didn't know the 360 was released in japan

%30 RRODed

sorry had to make the number smaller

yea cuz its garbage. they just want money. they dont care that they put out a defective product. they dont care how many people have adopted their products when the next console comes out every 360 owner will be forgoten.

Yea, buecause all these changes to the 360 and XBL is nothing but bullshit and chips, amirite? Not like they will release this like how Sony relased Home... Oh wait...

The fact is, the 360 will not sell in Japan because Sony is the big hawtness there. Sony is a big, well established brand and it will take more than the 360 to change that. Don't preceve their choices as some deeper meaning into the quality of the 360, it makes you look like a butthurt troll.

@LameDuck

Surely you're not suggesting that the Xbox 360 is a victim of some sort of **gasp** xenophia on the part of the highly nationalistic Japanese populous, are you?! That's outrageous! Maybe I'm just reading too much into your comment...

@Lame Duck

You must be right and the people of Japan just hate Microsoft because its not an established brand. I hear they won't even touch Windows over there just because its not made by Japanese. Maybe the answer is even more simple than you think.

They don't like the games!

Its not like Sony is all gangbusters in Japan in relation to hardware sales especially compared to the Wii. I just think that the games on the 360 do not appeal to them. Much like many on these boards (especially today) say they would not buy a PS3 for a handful of games. The people of Japan will not buy 360's in droves just because of Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. It will always be about the games. If Microsoft had more games that appealed to the people in Japan they would sell more consoles.

@Microswirl
I hesitate to use that word because it donates that a whole country of people are so self-centered that they are afraid of anything from a foreign country. I mean, we are talking about a country that loves crap from America. They are crazy over our music and clothes like we are crazy over their food and movies. That is just my opinion from having a few Japanese friends from college. I really should call in a favor with one of them and get some free boarding for TGS...

@John McPoop:
Ok... So, my sister likes the food at Cracker Barrel. While there, she will get some of the fudge and stuff they make too. *or they rebrand... whatever* Does that mean that if they start making a tampon she will buy that too? Windows is different from a game system. If I judged the 360 by what Windows has done, I would of never had one in the first place. It might be that there is not any games that they would like, which I don't think is true because of all the mutiplatform games this gen. Maybe you are right there, but I'm looking at it from what I've been told. They have had 2 successful consoles and they are a Japanese company. What Japanese person wouldn't want to buy one? I know that if places were reversed, Xbox was in Sony's position and Sony was in Xbox position, I'd be plopping money down on the 360 solely on reputation.

With the ramped, baseless fanboyism found on this website, is it really hard to believe that it may just be all because it's Sony?

Well for your sake I hope it happens. I really only wanted FFXIII and now that it's confirmed I see the ps3 as having no value whatsoever...

Nonsense. There is still LBP, God of War 3, GT, WKS, Team Ico Project et al. to look forward too. All of these titles will probably be on sale before FF13 anyway.

Yeah, as someone who doesn't really care for the FF franchise, I'd say that Sony does still have some pretty good exclusives. The next Team ICO project and GOW3 in particular are both pretty enticing to me.

"There is still LBP, God of War 3, GT, WKS, Team Ico Project et al. to look forward too."

I'm just a little confused, what is WKS? I understand that people love to bring out the lists of games they already know are going to be fantastic (like your 'untitled, unannounced, Team Ico project') but when I don't even know what the game is by its acronym, maybe you need to lay off a little.

WKS = White Knight Story

BB + CCC r PS3 exclusives 2! LOL!

But Kingdom Hearts wouldn't make sense on the 360 (clash of tone), and KH has the perfect appeal to go on Wii

Remember: hell has frozen over, this is all possible at this point, so i suppose it could even go to 360, DS, or PSP

This is a good reason to learn Japanese. You still got time. Hurry!

Do you really thing they made this choice last week? This has been planed since long ago. When FFOnline hit the 360, you should of known this was going to happen.

Oh stop crying. For all you know the game was programmed on a 360 and is being ported to PS3 as we speak.

For Christ sake Deric B., I can think of a dozen games that were set to be multiplatform titles and were delayed because of the "complexities" of developing on the PS3.

Like you have any room to talk about the 360 causing delays.

@Marty

You would love that wouldn't you? You are such a hater.

360 owners better hope they are making this for the 360 or they are making both version at the same time. Everyone knows the coding difference is so vast between the consoles that a quick port will always suffer a loss of quality. Burnout Paradise is a great example of how to do it correct. I suspect with this game probably being released in over a year from now they have plenty of time to make both version equal.

Where is the episodic content for GTA IV everyone was yapping about?

Japan isn't small beans for Final Fantasy though. It makes up, what, a third of its total sales?

I'm expecting petitions by Japanese 360 owners.

They did it for Oblivion, you better expect that they'll do it for FF13.
