I think Microsoft getting a Dragon Quest exclusive away from Sony would be difficult, to say the least..
I dunno what this guy was wrong about, but knowing this kind of info before the fact is pretty impressive if you ask me.....especially the part of the E3 press conference....everyone was surprised by that....

Difficult, true. But surely they could at least try to wrestle a Winning Eleven away, or secure multiplatform love with a Final Fantasy game.
Kleegamefan said:
Well, I don't know how true even THOSE claims are so it's just a "I know a guy who knows a guy" type situation. And on the internet... well, you know the rest.
A lot of interesting things if true, though. No RSX info is disappointing. And curious about the PS3 spec changes...

Three generations in a row, the same thing. Repeat after me: Playstation gets FF, WE, Namco games, Playstation 2 gets FF, WE, Namco games, Playstation 3 gets FF, WE, Namco games...and still leader console.

Yes, but in PS2 generation XBX got a WE game too and in PS3/360 generation MAJOR rumour is XBX360 gets the Ridge Racer Namco title.
SO... things are a-changin'

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 / Tekken 5 1/2 and Ridge Racer
Dynasty Warriors PS3 is inevitable, but seeing it in action in the near future has me secreting pleasure juices.
Virtua Fighter 5 for PS3 / Sega domination! Put Namco in it's fucking place. ^_^

Sony never made big announcements at the Playstation Meetings.
Those stuff will never be discussed at mainstream events like this one.
3 launch titles from Sega? So fake :lol
Not gonna happen.
Square Enix would never annouce such things at an PS Meeting.
PS2 already confirmed. Exclusive makes no sense (WE is already on Xbox and PC)
I think most of the stuff is bs.

True, and to a degree this is a problem for Sony in Japan. Such announcements would be more an exercise in reassurance than "surprise" - in terms of "ticking the boxes" there's little Sony can do in Japan to surprise people. In order to generate surprise or excitement they'd have to go beyond just announcing them, and actually show them too (but I would not expect this on Thursday).
I'd take these rumours with a grain of salt..the number of announcements and their type doesn't seem too untypical for a meeting like this, but pre-conference/show rumours rarely deliver

It can be a mixed bag from year to year. They did use a Playstation Meeting to reveal a lot of detail on PSP, though. I'm not sure what to expect from this one, though..we're only two months from E3.

Just as a counterpoint:
--3 Sega launch titles is easy assuming they have three next-gen arcade games in the arcades by PS3 launch. Much smarter to throw out these ports at launch when people buy everything rather than a few months later when they'll bomb for sure.
--Square putting out 2 games within 6 months makes a lot of sense assuming they are the non-big name SquareEnix games. Look at PS2, they got Bouncer and Driving Emotion S pretty fast.
--Dunno, they've already pretty much un-officially said FFXIII is for PS3; a quick mention unofficially from Sony saying "we'll have FF and DQ games on PS3 too" isn't that unlikely.
--Where is PS2 WE10 confirmed? Also no point in not making a PS2 version for the millions of PS2 owners who haven't gotten a PS3 yet. Still this is the most BS-sounding rumor just because WE is on Xbox and PC these days and you'd think MS would be paying good money to keep it that way or get exclusive themselves.

"Not gonna happen."
Why? They had 2 PS2 games out in the first 6 months of its release (All Star Pro Wrestling and Driving Emotion). So just because its 2 games from them doesn't mean its going to be 2 big RPG's early on.

btw, I think a forced bundle with an HDD is pretty damn smart. That way 100% of the users will have an HDD and developers can take advantage of it; and at the same time they can say the price of the 'system' is $400/$300 (Japan/US) but sell the 'bundle' for $450/350.
Suddenly the "you'll need to work a few more hours to buy one" and the "it'll sell for under $400 Jpn" quotes make sense.

Some Sony guy in a recent interview said Konami already have Pro Evolution Soccer 6 aka WE10 in development. It seems a bit strange to me when it's predecessor hasn't even been released yet, is this common in game development? It'd be a great PLAYSTATION 3 launch title though.
Condemned and Full Auto would certainly never be considered major for PS3 in Japan, I doubt they will even be released there.ram said:
As for WE/PES, I know as a fact that MS is trying VERY hard to get the license exclusively to Xbox 360. Of course I doubt Sony will ever let MS outbid them for such a license.

Times are different. XBox hasn't never made big annoucements in Japan before either. PS3 has never worked with NVidia before. Square has never been on Xbox.
We're going to get alot of firsts.
yeah sure. but times are changing - sega got more western games than ever before and even opened a new european studio. and if you look at the last awful games from sega japan (altered beast, virtua quest and astro boy), you can clearly say, that the new next gen games look far more promising than these sale bombs.
MS is getting 2 Sega games at launch so far, and both I would not really call Sega games in the first place. They may end up being excellent, but it's not exactly the type of game I expect to see after putting a dvd in my (name your system) and seeing the Sega logo.Bebpo said:

Then what is the point in mentioning titles from Sega. Saying they are from a certain company, to me, means something. It demostrates a persons applied trust in quality, and established brand. Having some games from unproven developers that are only being published by a respected company is not the same thing as getting the games directly from the company. Might as well just say "3 new western IPs with a Major publisher" for all it is worth ANY publisher could be publishing those games.

From the time Condemned was announced it was known as Sega's game

I'm simply saying its known as a Sega game. Just as Crash Bandicoot was known as a Sony game.
In the end Crash Bandicoot ended being known as a Naughty Dog game, and if Condemned is succesful you can bet it will be remember as a Monolith game. Especially in the case of Monolith who already have quite a history of good/great games under their name.SolidSnakex said:

Crash for as long as it was published by Sony was always known as their answer to Mario. It doesn't matter if they're good or not. Driving Type S was generally considered mediocre and its always been known as a Square game but they didn't develop it, Escape did. Same for The Bouncer, its known as Square's game but it was developed by Dream Factory.

After this thread, I decided to get a PS3 over a X360. Not for the rumors but for the fact that there will be lots of PS3 exclusives and Sony won't lose without a tough fight.

I think DQ9 is a given....
-3 Sega titles announced for Japanese launch, reveals that none of their arcade boards are PS3-based.
You have to wonder just what happened to Sega Rally '05 for the PS2. They could be reworking it for launch now. Ever since it was a no show at E3 I've suspected something was up,could happen. What better way to put a franchise back on the map than as a launch game.

Show me the Sega games, I couldn't care less about the other rumours and stuff... other than a FFVII remake as well.

Well I am sure you will be happy with PS3 because I think there is one think SCEI can still count on is Japanese developer support...
If there is one think MS has an uphill battle agains Sony is with Japanese developer support....its improving but then again, how could it not improve...
I am sure you will get your fill of JapanRPGs on PS3, Final Fantasy or otherwise....
More from the same guy, apparently:
Smells very fishy to me, but with so many guesses, I guess he can't be wrong on all of them! :lol
Seriously, these japanese message board things never work out. I remember a bunch of pre-E3 rumour from a board (2ch?), although I now can't recall if any of it turned out true.
