I don't know how accurate this is, but I generally trust RPGFan w/ info. Article says that Star Ocean 4 has been confirmed for the PS3/360, and is being developed as a three part series.

It's from this week's Famitsu so I imagine it's pretty reliable.

Back to 2 games on my ps3 "wanted list". No matter how awesome FFXIII/MGS4 are, I dont see myself ever buying one for 2 games unless it drop to 200$.

Not just you (and not just PS3 either) as I just got a "ERROR: 'Could not find zone D:\ui_mp.ff' " on my 360.

Good times!

Getting tired of developers planning games as a multi part series before the first is even released. Cliff hangers F T L. Assassin's Creed left you hanging horribly, but at least Mass Effect had some closure. Still doesn't make it any better :\

By multiseries, I thought they meant both game on psp or something. Didnt they say they would do something like that a while back?

What they mean is that they'll be splitting the game's story into 3 different games. Kinda like .Hack and Xenosaga were. And I also feel that it's annoying when they do that with games more often. I only played the first game in the Xenosaga series before I lost interest in it and it was about 20 hours or so to beat and it hardly answered anything in that game. It really feels like a company is just trying to milk money out of people when the purposely split a game up like that and I'd much rather play a long, complete game that took longer for them to release then to pay full price for part 1 of a game that will have the other parts released over the following 3 or 4 years.

Its a sign of the times. The rising development costs have to be offset somehow.

Oh there's an easy answer to that... make the games for the Wii!

But seriously, yeah it might have something to do with higher costs. I imagine it'd be easier for them to space out production and hope to make a better profit with 3 different games than place all their bets on one release. Still doesn't make me dislike it any less than I already do though.

[BRP]

But then they won't sell unless they are made by nintendo or are minigaems.

To be fair, the majority of games made (on any system, not just Wii) don't deserve to sell anyway, they're total crap.

Was at Best Buy last night and saw a kid playing a PS3 game. The only way I can describe it was it looked like Dynasty Warriors meets Transformers. Looked fun, and looked like it had decent graphics. Anyone know what game this is with my minimal explanation?

[Xavier]

It wasn't the Gundam Dynasty Warrior was it, lol?

[Norelco]

It wasn't the Gundam Dynasty Warrior was it, lol?

Hah, maybe it was. Why the "lol", does it suck? Or because I'm completely clueless? :D

[Xavier]

I played a demo of the game on the 360, it was ok, but Dynasty Warrior games are just mindless button smashing to me, I don't really understand the appeal.

[izembo]

yea that'd be Dynasty Warriors Gundam, fun game if you happen to like Dynasty Warriors games and Gundam games, because that's literally exactly what it is.

Wut?

[Xavier]

Since its 2D, and since fighting games actually benefit from a d-pad (imo), and given the insane install base, the DS isn't that crazy of a choice for SF4. Granted, I'd rather see it on the 360/PS3 or Wii, but I'll take it however I can get it.

[Mysterio]

I think the Yoshinori guy looked at an installment base sheet before blurting out suggested platforms.

Sounds more like a businessman than a gamer, lol

[Norelco]

I don't want to get sucked into buying a NDS, but damn, the FFIV remake looks amazing.
