I hope your not trying to suggest that some people are a bit up tight?
Tbf its mostly because Sony fans have literally owned one brand for ~15 years now; their the group least likely to like change.

Meanwhile MS/Nintendo owners have had more ups and downs/seen exclusives come and go; whilst MS is fairly new and with a growing userbase.

Barring mistakes, next-gen should be more everyone on the same playing field.

Spoiler

Its going to be fucking crazy

To be fair to the Sony zealots, I remember some gnashing of teeth from Nintendo fans over Final Fantasy VII going over to the Playstation back in the day.

 

[Akuun]

The backlash over Wind Waker turning out to be cel-shaded was pretty big.

 

[Derrick01]

Hold up, MGS2 was on the xbox!?

Only after no one cared anymore. No one seems to have a problem when an exclusive game goes to another console if it's 6+ months after it releases since everyone moved on from it by then. But if it happens at the same time it's rage time.

Can we count controllers too? Wii controller announced

Hahhaha.

Given how that Wii Remote ended up selling millions upon millions upon millions of systems, dominating the entire generation, and forcing Sony and Microsoft to play a desperate game of catch up for half a decade - the initial responses are completely fucking hilarious!

 

[Perfect Blue]

Its easily Final Fantasy XIII going multiplat. Is that thread still around somewhere?

Enjoy!

 

[Mr. Fix]

Wait, why did DQIX cause meltdowns? That's the DS one, right?

I'm wondering about this too. I assume it's because it was originally intended to be a hack-n-slash game (I think).

Dominating the entire generation until the end when it fell off a cliff.

I can't fully remember, but I think the Insomniac multiplatform thread had some great reactions.

It seems like all the big meltdowns occur when Sony exclusives become non-exclusive, or when a game becomes exclusive for a non-Sony console.

Pretty much.

See: BioShock and Mass Effect going multi-platform. Not much of a peep from those, eh?

Agree, got really bad this gen for some reason, the fanboys came crawling out of the PS3 woodwork.

Does anyone have a link to a forum topic from when Twilight Princess was first shown as trailer? You know, that trailer.

A traditionally console-exclusive series that only shows up on the most popular console having its main installment appear on a handheld.

Mainly because there aren't a lot of top tier Microsoft-exclusive titles, and the majority of Nintendo's are first party.

Because it happened much later after they released. People just don't care as long as it doesn't happen on the same day.

I can't recall of the top of my head many PC titles being ported to consoles causing much alarm. Especially since the PC version tends to be the best, anyway.

Yeah I mean, Sony was the only one leaving last generation with a huge line-up of third party exclusives.

Battlefield 3 is the main one that comes to mind.

There were even people who declared it would be a huge bomb due to it!

 

[DidntKnowJack]

It's been a few years, so people probably forget, but I remember a meltdown happening when it was announced Shenmue 2 for the DC in N.A. was cancelled and had become Xbox exclusive.

And yes, I was pissed.

 

[JordanLMiller]

Multiplatform FFXIII thread is always good for a laugh.

 

[lethial]

Didn't we get this thread, like, 2 weeks ago? And 2 weeks before that?

Go search for them and get back to us with timestamps please.

Ah, yes. The game that made me buy an Xbox(along with Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio Future).

 

[slaughterking]

Dragon Quest IX is still the greatest to me. Maybe not in terms of how many people were actually affected, but what it meant for Japan and home console vs. handheld gaming and Sony vs. Nintendo. I feel like the DQIX announcement was the beginning of a new era.

Dragon Quest IX I don't think anything comes close to that.

Yeah, I didn't understand that shit. I mean, you're getting the best version of the game, but now other people will also be able to play it on consoles.

uhhhh ok then, everybody wins?

Yup, I imagine GAF would have had a similar meltdown to the FF7 announcement if this place was around back then.

Fear of the game being held back by consoles.

 

[MrT-Tar]

It isn't even about "graphics" per se. I don't see why people can't understand this. The best part of DQVIII is the giant, sprawling, begging-to-be-explored overworld. That is gone now, in an instant. No chance of return or expansion. I can only imagine and lust over how it could have been improved on a system like PS3.

I personally see this as pretty degrading as well... you simply DO NOT put your mainline games on a ****ing handhel... it's like you don't even care about it. It's unimaginable. I'm feeling super happy that S-E has turned into ultra graphics whores with FF because it ensures that something this terrible will never happen to FF.

That DQIX thread was legendary.


Also, does anyone have a link to the Epic Mickey thread, I heard it was fun

The thing with DQ9 is that a lot of people were high on the series after 8. The massive downgrade in terms of graphics and back then it was unveiled as an arpg it was just too much.

 

[Dahbomb]

Just read the DmC thread for 10 pages and I am surprised how many people predicted the game would be on UE3 and be 30fps. Well I predicted it too so it wasn't really that shocking.

I can't find my posts in the thread but I remember not even wanting to be on the Internet that day even though I made plenty of posts. Profound sadness came over me.

 

[Red Blaster]

The irony is that this gen nigh all the exclusives that went multiplatform weren't even that great in the end. I never played DQIX, but FF13 was terrible and DMC4 was pretty average.

 

[grimshawish]

Wii? Sales-wise, yes. Otherwise, no.

Theres...an otherwise?...

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Maybe I'm just old, but I'd say... Resident Evil franchise going Gamecube exclusive.

And then RE4 going to PS2.

I think the DQIX thread is my favorite of these.

Um on GAF it was VF5. VF5 had like 50 bans in the thread.

Then it bombed on both platforms.

That was a weird thread, man. Now there's just one BF3 OT in the Community section, and PS3/360/PC users all just...co-exist with each other. Playing a game they enjoy on their respective systems. Imagine that!

Ah. I probably would never have played it if it weren't on the DS, so it's all good.

Looking at that DMC4 thread, I see a lot of people expected MGS4 to turn too, lul!

Then I came across this gem:

Capcom sickens me.



















J/k
but if FFXIII or MGS4 go to X360 just delete my account, I'm done.

I wonder what their reaction to that was.

The Capcom 5 Cube games that got ported to PS2, didn't that cause a shitstorm?

I agree that the Bayonetta thing is probably the worst I've ever seen. I don't know if it's because people are just that sensitive about Bayonetta in particular, or if it's because internet culture is becoming more insane.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

FFXIII going multi-plat. I remember that megaton dropped on the first day of E3 too.
The tears and meltdowns.

 

[BrainZEROX]

Monster Hunter 3 is probably the biggest offender here. At least Final Fantasy XIII was still published on PS3. But MH3... It was first announced on PS3 and, in the end, what PS3 gamers got is Capcom's middle finger. An early announcement of things to come from Capcom I guess... I'm still surprised nobody tried to fill the void MH3 left on PS3. Bah... That's old stuff now.
