Hi all, i've just been browsing through the forums coz i'm quite free nowadays. And i've tend to come alot quite a number of threads lamenting the loss of an exclusive title for another platform for example 'Final Fantasy 13' which is coming out on both the PS3 and XBOX360. My Question would be..why the unhappiness or uneasiness just because the game company chooses to release the game on another platform so others can enjoy them? Is there a need for hostility or bitterness because of the loss of a 'so called exclusive' to another gaming console? I feel we have become too attached with our affliations to our respective consoles that whenever we see an exclusive title being marketed on another console,we feel a tinge of jealousy or whatnot..shouldnt we b happy as gamers that other console gamers are able to enjoy the game just as much as us?

or is there a reason that is stirring up the unhappiness?i would like to know your thoughts on the subject..i'm not trying to point fingers on anyone but i would just like to understand the frustrations if there is any when it comes to the loss of an exclusive title to a rival console.peace out

well, coz it's basically a port. those games are originally developed for the 360 as the lead development platform and then ported to the ps3. there are bound to be irregularities appearing when the game is ported, different architecture. so you'll obviously see more bugs/slow framerate/etc in ps3, coz of the simple fact that it was originally developed for the 360 first

but we'll be seeing more developers using the ps3 as lead development in multiplatform games in the coming months, so we'll see how that turns out.

anyways, i'm all for multiplatform. fallout3 used 360 as lead. but that ain't stopping me from getting the ps3 version, despite the bugs

Lagging behind?? lag what?? The devs aint tapped into the full horsepower of the ps3 yet. Even the PS2 needs almost 4 years before dominating the console market. And the result aren't the same. The PS3 has improved a lot since they launch their console. The PSN is getting better, and better games are heading to the ps3. As the 360 heading out in maybe a couple of years, the ps3 is best bet for future gaming. do some research, the ps3 sales are doing well after the released of MGS4 and the price cut. Actually, it has increase over 192% this year. So the results is not the same

No, i may sound like a fanboy but im not. I owned 3 consoles (at least 2 coz my 360 died on me again).

well actually,it's fairly close if not better than that trailer.

not just graphically,ofcourse.
but movement of the characters and such.

it's remarkable they got anywhere near that 2k5 trailer

right.
you're welcome to form your own opinion on the matter,but it looks pretty close to me.

contradicting?how so?

horsepower is more than just powering pretty graphics.
