FF is the kind of franchise that gets crazy hype when it's on PS3 just like Metal Gear. I mean, didn't you felt how the hype train for FFXIII was slowly turning into hate when the game was announced for the Xbox? The same thing is happening with MGR right now if you haven't noticed it.
I firmly believe that FFvsXIII can sell more if it stays exclusive, or at least a secret timed exclusive to deceive the fanboys.
@MrBeatdown, Sony is just trying to sell their console, that's all. Estimated data is not always 100% right. Beside, PS3 can do 1080p depending on what are the game's demands so the prediction wasn't that far off. Is just that devs prefer to sacrifice a bit of resolution for better shaders and stuff. This could even happen to next-gen.
They start off showing 1080p and then by the end of the gen devs are gonna want to make better looking games and drop the resoluti...
the funny thing about it is how many people are trashing the game on 2CH forums yet they bought almost half a million anyway. ;)
Here are some translated comments by Sankaku from a 2CH thread talking about XIII-2:
“Bloody hell, FF can’t even outsell Tales now!”
“So the brand has finally collapsed. I suppose it was to be expected, they’ve just gotten too bad.”
“Everyone will wait for the second-hand copies. They’ve learnt thei...
OMG, only on iPhone. 0_______0
I don't know from what planet you come from but at least here on Earth it was FFVII who made not only the FF franchise but the entire genre of japanese RPG's a viable market in America.
Siren Cursed Blood is survival horror and it was really good too.
not a bikini though, and they don't looks like idols either. >_0
Nomura has said like a million times that there will not be any KH3 until he finishes FFvsXIII....
how can you people follow this story with so many sequels and spin-offs on so many different platforms?
honestly there has only been 2 good DQ games since when this series was created and those are DQIII and VIII all the others are just an insane grindfests with super crappy stories and boring as hell.
Toriyama has a legion of haters because of the reasons that you just stated on this blog (including me) but the thing is that his games aren't bad, they are just aimed at a different public. He just loves to make really corny games while Nomura is totally the opposite and this contrast is kinda funny because Nomura's FF is called VERSUS for that reason. ;)
BTW, FFXII wasn't directed by Toriyama and it's obvious because the tone of the game was a serious one un...
probably because of good acoustic and lighting since he is not using mics or studio kind of lights.
DMC is one of my favorite franchises just like FF, but Capcom and Square have done everything in their might to make me not like them anymore. FFXIII-2 looks just as bad and corny as the first one and DMC's fast paced combat was reduced to snail pace Enslaved with guns and canned combos.
the point of the cross-game chat is that you can chat with friends no matter what you're doing!
now that you bring that up, Resonance of Fate and Valkyrie Profile are really similar. Like way too similar.... But VP has better art direction.
I kind of agree with that but in my case, Zelda has always been my #1 favorite franchise since when I started gaming in the late 80's but around the GameCube era I just became bored of the franchise. The thing is that when you're a long time Zelda fan you kind of know what you can expect out of it and even predict what they gonna change for the next one to make it feel fresh and I don't like that.
I'm tired of every character, no matter the timeline being Link...
If only I could go back in time to play FFVII when it came out and be part of the heated conversations that my friends had in school about the game instead of playing it for the first time now when Sony put it on the PSN like 10 years later. For me it was FFVIII what defined the franchise because it was my first but FFVII is so much better, is like I've been living a lie for many many years. =(
I've seen many people talk crap about FFVII through the years and say tha...
if it's a 60GB, Sony doesn't repair those anymore, they're just gonna send him one of the new slimmer ones. =/
you people are just battling an opinion with an opinion while giving free hits to the obviously flamebait article. This is an incredible waste of time if you ask me.
doesn't the Xbox version have exclusive DLC?
