The E3 '08 Sony Prediction and Discussion Thread

Why do people keep posting this? Where is the logic in this?


If Square didn't think FF13 was financially viable on just the PS3, why would they do another exclusive? How is FF7 more viable than 13?

Well considering FF7 has the biggest fan base, I think it's actually the biggest gold mine, or until FF13 project surpasses it.

Do not want. FF7 was for the most part a pretty light-hearted game. Now look at its prequels/sequels. Nothing but grimdark crap! Square does not know what made FF7 great.

But the fact is they can make the worst crap with a FF7 tag, ppl will still embrace it with orgasms all over their face.
 
"You just saw LittleBigPlanet...oh, an open beta is available to download right now on the PS Store, by the way...and will be available this October."

That's how you do it.
 
We get a R2 trailer today, right? Or is that after the conference tomorrow?

EDIT: Nevermind, just read his post below. :lol

Hi Bryan.

Gonna need it tomorrow after you see R2. I can't wait to hear what ya think.

-Bryan says he misses your Che-flops.
 
Honestly, I'd be totally happy if the following were announced:

Afrika for the U.S.
Heavy Rain coming somewhere, sometime.

That along with Resistance 2, KZ2, and LBP would be a heavy hitter for me.

I didn't say it wouldn't sell, I'm sure it would sell fine. But what benefit is there to making it exclusive to PS3?

One could argue it makes more sense to expose the more "untapped" Xbox audience to FF7. If nothing else, it seems Square is spread way too thin with multiple versions of FF13 and vs to start on another HD game (especially if its for a console userbase they consider too small to support FF13 now).


Not picking on you, I've seen like 20+ people post about FF7 and it makes absolutely no sense for Square to pull one exclusive away from PS3 just to create another.

Didn't have a Che-flop with Resistance though -- and that's what really matters! :)

Tell Bryan I miss his Push the Start button news section. And also that I'm psyched for his new career!

I hope to see you on stage tomorrow. Don't disappoint! Vehicles and 64 player demo go!
 
Oh my fuck, he was right about FFXIII! I didn't want to post anything about it because partly I didn't want to believe it and partly because I'd have gotten flamed to fucktown and back.

Based on that, expect an FFXIII on DS also.
 
I would like jstevenson opinion on what went down today. Is it all doom and gloom for Sony from a developers perspective?? Do you think Sony knew about this for some time?

note that I didn't post FF7remake EXCLUSIVELY for PS3, I'm just saying such an announcement will at least win back some faith to some PS3 owners.

Not that exclusivity promises are worth any credits these days anyway.

Is that by any chance a SRPG?

He's too busy printing his resume right now.
 
I hate to be a downer and the subject of lynching, torture and dismemberment but what I've seen from R2 so far hasn't really interested me a whole lot. Hopefully they can change that though.
 
I hear two things from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Innovation and projected sales numbers. They all have to respond to each other to keep momentum, which has led to complex pros and cons. So, in the present time the product produced is a mixture of family, film, music, and gaming content. ... er...Innovation.

But what's the cost?

IMO, Games.

This gen: The 360 has 16 games rated at least 9.0, the ps3 has 10, and the wii has 8.
Last gen: Ps2 had 61 games rated at least 9.0, Xbox had 40. and GameCube had 19.
[let a margin of error slide]

So, here we are, the industry is changed. Time to see who can pump out the most rated 10 games. That's who the winner will be IMO. Fuck novelty in any of the consoles.

So far I haven't decided to buy a ps3, wii, or 360 yet..

Should have said it, would have eased the pain.
 
Well as of this afternoon Sony's officially dead to me so the only thing they could possibly announce that i would genuinely be happy about would be that they're finally adding DIVX/XVID support to the PSP :lol. There's not really anything else they can announce for the PSP since there are no new big games on the horizon and they've bs'd enough with stupid FW updates on the PSP (wooo google search and a new visualizer!). They need some kind of announcement for the PSP, hopefully this is it!

Didnt something like this happend with GTA4? If i am not mistaken I mean i've read that Sony agreed to allow a simultanious PS3 and Xbox 360 release in exchange (or something like that) for a PS3 exclusive from Rockstar. I dont know if its true though (does Sony own some parts of GTA for consoles or something or are the relationship between Rockstar and Sony that good that Rockstar would ask Sony for permission (or something like that) to release GTA4 on the Playstation 3 and on the Xbox 360 at the same time?), but if it is maybe something simular happend with Final Fantasy 13 now? I dont think so though, but its just a thought from me :)

I thought there were no vehicles. Back off man. Insomiac is by far the best PS3 Dev this gen.
 
Guys the whole woe is me thing about FFXIII is really not necessary.
Its a big deal for sure but it is definitely not the end of them by any stretch of the imagination.
Where would Final Fantasy make the biggest penetration? Japan and its still going to
the PS3 is going to explode there. If having GTA on both consoles didn't hurt sony having
Final Fantasy sure as hell isn't either. Its just more a pride issue because that brand has
become so synonymous with Sony.

It's more annoying reading some fanboy remarks. Makes this place feel like Gamespot SW. I'm happy that more people will play this.

How about trying the other site I post at. systemwars.com/forums

It's an amazing laugh :D
 
fans of sony (and regular PS3 owners :P) what could Sony announce that you would consider a MEGATON tomorrow? something on the level or bigger than today's...

before someone answers let's get a FFVII-remake out of the way cuz that's silly to some and a no-brainer to others :D

And that does what for me, a true fan of the classic original FF7 -_-?? Cause I sure wouldn't touch the grimdark remake!
