Wtf? For serious? That's got to suck for PS3 people, but considering SE's position, it's not surprising.

Just make a new Chrono game goddamnit. Imo.

Why would it suck for PS3 people? They've known that they're going to be getting the game for years now. I wish for the day when console exclusive titles no longer exist.

Dyne · 07-14-2008, 03:43 PM

What? You honestly can't deny the fact that whenever a title loses exclusivity, a million fanboy's hearts are broken. It's there, and it does happen.

DarkMaster · 07-14-2008, 03:49 PM

Well I guess who cares about a bunch of nerds crying over a video game?

Dyne · 07-14-2008, 04:01 PM

Pretty much. This was probably the worst exclusivity loss in the history of gaming, though. Unless you can think of a bigger one.

It's comparable to Banjo-Kazooie going to Xbox. Or when Final Fantasy went to Playstation.

That last example might actually be bigger than this one now.

Not many people cared about Banjo Kazooie. And there are a LOT of people who started playing games with FF7 on the PSX, even if there were a lot of SNES players. There has been a great legacy amassed on playstation consoles since FF7. That's my reasoning.

I so called this years ago. Here's to all you nonbelievers!

I hear the clicking of a million mice all over the USA of people who are putting their PS3s up on eBay with Metal Gear Solid 4.

Dyne was right before, fanboy tears are shedding, Sony-GAF is dying right now. It's so fucking funny!

Wow ,this is very big. This has been a hot topic since the psx days that square would keep any of it's rpg games with Sony and no other company.

Slowly Square started making games for Nintendo again on the DS and gamecube. FFXIII not being exclusive to the ps3, i honestly didn't see that happening

DarkMaster · 07-14-2008, 05:30 PM

Well I guess PS3 still has FFXIII Versus exclusive. An announcement like this makes me think about what Sony has in store for its conference tomorrow, because surely they've been preparing for months to counter this major exclusivity loss. Something like Final Fantasy VII Remake PS3 exclusive, that would even the playing field.

Here's the trailer they showed at the conference for anyone who missed it. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36222.html

I think FFVII's switch from presumed N64 exclusive to a PS1 exclusive was bigger...
Though it wasn't so much of a loss of exclusivity as it was a complete loss o.O
And it was never really confirmed for N64 in the first place...

Even so, this is one less reason (out of about 2) to consider purchasing a PS3 when the price drops...
Now if only MGS4 would make a 360 clone of itself

Anyone else still peeved that there were only about 3 seconds in that trailer that WEREN'T pre-rendered?

Come on. We're all waiting for the Crystal Tools demonstration.
