Another J-rpg to add to my list of games to buy for the 360. I wonder if it's 360 only or if theirs a PS3 verson on the way as well?

Ariexv5796d ago

Nope Tri-Ace has said their exclusive to 1 console this gen

Superfragilistic5796d ago

I will not have the time for so many titles, the JRPG collection on 360 just keeps growing and I just keep pinching myself to wake up!

Cry On, Infinite Undiscovery, Tales, Spectral Force 3, Blue Dragon 2, and now Star Ocean 4! And I've still got to play Fallout 3, Fable 2 and Too Human! *multiple expletives related to there not being enough hours in the day to play*...

CrazzyMan5796d ago

They just said that SO4 is heading to x360.
Have you seen a word "SO4" and "EXCLUSIVE on x360", just like "FFXIII" is "ONLY for PS3" ???

Then it`s just like Tales of Vesperia, the game will be first released on x360, but you WON`T find anywhere, that ToV will be x360 ONLY game.

LaChance5796d ago (Edited 5796d ago )

saying at the begining of the year that SO4 was coming to 360 and I got something like 20 disagrees and a whole lot insults.

It was pretty obvious to non-fanboy eyes that it was coming to 360.

I mean give me ONE reason for Square Enix to refuse to say that its a PS3 exclusive ? Why would a dev REFUSE to say that a game is a PS3 exclusive ?

Because its not ! duh !

Looks like its multiplat.

But if ever this game is a 360 exclusive I'll be laughing my head off.

I remeber Sony fanboys calling me stupid because Square Enix said this game would be on ONE cosole only.Well...looks like we know which one...

I still think they are going to make it multiplat though.It will have good sales

LO = 650 000 in 3 months + its an unproven franchise

Star Ocean 4 = proven franchise + very popular in Japan = 1 million for sure far faster than LO.

pwnmaster30005796d ago (Edited 5796d ago )

Ariexv5796d ago

A shame Tri-Ace said they won't do Multi-platform games this gen :P

mesh15796d ago

its a 360 exclusive just deal with it the 360 will alwys have better quality game and more of them to play ,sony has failed this generation just let go stop cluthing at straws there is no way the ps3 will survive this on slaught the ps3 does not sell enough software not to mention sony game studios has not made a profit on the ps3 while mgs has with the xvox 360 so they cant really use money of a failing system to secure great exc;lusive also not to mention the hardware on the ps3 which dont work well in sync , the cell was a mistake no major comoute manufacturer has bought the cell from sony and its partners peopel alays forgo the cell has only 1 core with 7spu while most power pc use quad core and the 360 has 3 core sont fanboys give up and get a well earned rest buy gettig a 360 and playing some great games for 1s.

rhood0225795d ago

"A shame Tri-Ace said they won't do Multi-platform games this gen"

Just like 2k claimed that Bioshock was not coming to the PS3?

PS360WII5796d ago

Alright Star Ocean for 360 how about that :)

kewlkat0075796d ago

I think Last Remenent or Infinite Undiscovery is my next RPG's.

The 360 is no longer just Shooters Console.

Xeoset5796d ago

I said this elsewhere...but:

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 ;)

lol that was my party for the entire game

likerussia4720d ago

haha, me too! It made it alot easy for me to keep them all balanced like that, I tried the others but it just didnt seem right :)

militant074719d ago

that was my party too,

but god, that game was horrible, so is infinite.

Tri Ace only make shit

midgard2274719d ago

u troll, star ocean 1 and 2 are awesome, 3 and 4 were good, Valkyrie profile is AMAZING,as is Valkyrie profile 2 and resonance of fate was good. radiata was good and infinite wasn't that bad, Tri-ace is one of my fav developers.

just cause you didnt like doesnt mean it sux. I dont like gran turismo or madden does that mean they suck? nope

militant074719d ago

I like JRPGs, but I hate the shitty games Tri Ace make.

SaiyanFury4719d ago

Just because you don't like tri-Ace, doesn't mean they make "sh1tty" games. There are a great lot of us who love them. The first game I played from them was the second Star Ocean game on PS1 and to this day I'm still in love with them. Star Ocean 4 International was fantastic.

On another note, my party was close to that, except Arumat. I used Sarah instead as an extra healer and was greatly successful.

militant074719d ago

When I say they make shitty games, I express my opinion not yours!!1!

Son_Lee4719d ago

I always controlled Reimi because I found her easiest. Not to mention her blindside was awesome!

RankFTW4719d ago

This game made me cry, the ending was simply stunning.

militant074719d ago

If you actually cried for that stupid horrible acting, you have a problem, my friend.

PS3 Vs 360 Star Ocean 4 Product Version Comparison

When you try to update continuously on the condition, and tired on the way a slovenly is.

Is the comparison of Star Ocean 4. PS3 version is an international version.

PS3 set to full range of HDMI, as for 360 image quality of HDMI is set to the maximum.

Saaking5187d ago

Seriously SE sucks. I miss Squaresoft. They didn't gimp games and sought to deliver the best.

OpenGL5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

Both versions are amongst the worst looking games on their respective platforms. The people who enjoyed this title on the 360 or were looking forward to the PS3 version likely don't care about the graphics anyways.

Traveler5187d ago

Neither version looks great, but it is true that the PS3 version looks worse.

erathaol5187d ago

Ugh, that looks bad. No wonder they stopped trying to port Last Remnant over to the PS3, Square-Enix just sucks at it. FFXIII is pretty bad by JRPG standards as well but at least that's beautiful to look at.

jkhan5187d ago

Is that a PS1 game. I mean seriously FF-XII looked a million times better then this.

A Cupcake for Gabe5187d ago

I saw the friggin' 1080p HD trailer on my PS3 and it looks nothing like this. These are gimped ass scans just to piss the fanboys. I don't know if the PS3 will turn out better in the end. But everything I have seen is far better than the 360 version. So this website can eat one.

starchild5187d ago

Um yeah.. those Japanese website sure are known for favoring the Xbox 360, that's why the 360 version looks better./s

bjornbear5187d ago

no one's going to buy it on the 360 anyway

Godmars2905187d ago

Dude seriously, its already out on the 360. For some time now.

And to everyone else, for what little its worth, the PS3 version is coming with extra content and extra characters. Even if someone can find fault nothing is going to change that.

7ero H3LL5187d ago

I think the decrease in resolution would be enough to turn many away. If it was enough to turn many gamers from when the news broke out on N4G, it's would still be just as effective if not even more now.

The Maxx5187d ago

Research before you comment.

http://xbox360.ign.com/obje...

Star Ocean 4 was released a year ago on the 360.

Anyways, it was an ok game on the 360. I really had a hard time listening to the voice/character who you spoke with when trying to create a new invention.

likedamaster5187d ago

@Jack

All other things aside, I do notice the hair/eye color stand out on PS3 version but missing hair shadow on face that is shown on 360's. Looks almost identical, besides some strange blur on ps3 version on some of the pics.

DaTruth5187d ago

Nobody bought it on 360 and nobody is going to.

FamilyGuy5187d ago

But that won't stop the PS3s year old port from dwarfing the current sales of the 360 version. Playstation has the jrpg fanbase and hopefully the sales of this year old port will remind the developers of that so the PS3 gets to be the lead platform from here on out.

I saw the trailer off PSN and it definitely looks good enough to me. I've already pre-ordered and I'm sure many others have too.

ThanatosDMC5187d ago

Either way... the main character, Edge, still looks like he has no testicles. I'm still buying it though cuz i got addicted to Star Ocean. It's great that most dialogue will be voiced and they added an insane amount of content compared to last years version.

This is a lame port. They let it become blurry instead of using AA properly.

Dev8 ing5187d ago

Jack's links show not much difference between the two games besides better lighting on the PS3 version. The 360 version seems a little too bright. Not really anything that really matters. But extra content is what does matter.

SaberEdge5187d ago

There is no difference in the lighting that I can see. The only noticeable difference I see is that the PS3 version sometimes looks more blurry.

blind-reaper5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

hey N4PS3G 480x270 pictures RULES!!! low res pictures are awesome for high res games comparissons.

Ravage275187d ago

This was pretty much what i expected when i found out that there are no plans to improve on the sub-HD resolutions.

No one can deny the fact that the International version is the superior version though.
-no need to keep swapping disc when changing location
-Jap VO option ftw, the english dub is god awful
-improved gameplay e.g.targeting control

Swiftfox5187d ago

Um...about the comparisons...

Isn't it true that the Xbox 360 version of the game had 3d rendered character portaits not the traditional 2D anime? I was led to believe that the 2d anime portaits were exclusive to the PS3 international version.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

TheGrimReaper5187d ago

The japanese version had 2D avatars. The 3D avatars were a design decision for the western market.

NinjaAssassin5187d ago

the 360 one looks a little more detailed. the ps3 one looks more blurry.

vhero5187d ago

those ps3 shots are FAKE so stop showing them. They are 360 shots photoshopped. Either way you can bet the PS3 version won't be plagued with the same problems the 360 version has like the slowdowns.

slayorofgods5186d ago

I think I will wait for a IGN review before jumping to conclusions about the game comparisons. There are too many websites out there that don't give credible info.

raztad5186d ago

Is this a Tri-Ace job? or internal SE? I wonder because Tri-Ace is developing Resonance of Fate.

eliasg5186d ago

ps3 version looks like a video game from the 90s...

ps3 game is over...

Ninji5187d ago

Especially since it's all one 1 disc, you'll be able to avoid the crappy English voice acting by using Japanese voices (too bad you can do this on that flopped FF13 game), on top of numerous other improvements.

N4PS3G5187d ago

It's so better it looks worse :D

The awesomeness is mind blowing!

It's shaping to be phenomenal by looking at the scores it's definitely the improvement gamers have been waiting in this vasty superior looking and rated version

i can honestly say that the ps3 version looks more blurry, SE what a cr@ppy port,

RedDragan5186d ago

The PS3 version does look alot blurrier, but the PS3 version lighting is far superior. The rain forest comparison shows how much better it is in that respect... both sharpness for 360 and realistic lighting for PS3

MGSR THE HD VERSION5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

yes, it seems the guys who confirmed the resolution for the 360 version has just now confirmed the resolution of the ps3 version.
http://forum.beyond3d.com/s...

(non battle mode)
the ps3 version runs at 1024x720p = 737,280 pixels

360's version is 1248x704p = 878,592 pixels

ps3 is 141,312 pixels less.

@ below

....and your sources are?

Karooo5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

starocean was 520p on 360 it was on of the lowest resolution games on the 360, it is upcscaled to 720p.

Both the versions are native 520p and upscaled, get your facts right.

EDIT :

Everyone knows that, it even says in the link you provided, 512 vertical lines blown up to 720p check this out as well

Parapraxis5187d ago

Apparently him and the kids in here creaming themselves over these pics are completely ignorant of this bit:
"PS3 set to full range of HDMI, as for 360 image quality of HDMI is set to the maximum."
Meaning the PS3 will go to 720p as all resolutions are checked and 1080p is not being forced, like it is on the 360.
The game in it's native resolution on each respective console runs at a higher resolution on the PS3.

MGSR THE HD VERSION5187d ago (Edited 5187d ago )

@ 3.1 .....you're pointing out battle mode.

"Both the versions are native 520p"

for a moment i thought it was 1080p, i guess people have now expected less of this game.

@ 3.2 - "Apparently him and the kids in here creaming themselves over these pics"

don't play innocent, people were creaming them selves over this.
http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

lolz, hmmmm i wonder what am i going to do with this now?
http://i32.tinypic.com/20ua...

lolz, it should be known 360 to ps3 ports suck, and the best bet for a developer in that situation is to just add more useless content to make it look like a steel.

ThanatosDMC5187d ago

Star Ocean was never about graphics, story, plot progression, memorable characters but the combat. I played SO1 and SO2 and all i wanted to do is kill enemies, get a lot of money for armor and weapons and healing items, and kill bosses.

vhero5187d ago

@MGSR THE HD VERSION do you ever get tired of being a fanboy and making this crap up? enjoy your bubbles while they last as you will need a new account soon enough.

You are linking to a forum member as proof?

LMFAO! XD!

GTFO

pixelsword5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

It was considerably less graphics on the PS3 version from a technical standpoint, but it looked better than the 360 version because of the PS3's hardware.

Besides, I'm kinda skeptical about this site: I just heard of it, (I think it's a website, but I thought it was a site provider, so what's up with that?) and the translator is broken now, so I can't see the site.

Coulda just bought the game a year ago and not waited for such slop.

presto7175187d ago

After such a long time, you would expect the later version to be better. But its worse....

Failure.

Godmars2905187d ago

I'll wait until I finish WKC, not matter how bad it is, before I get this game. Thank you very much.
