Final Fantasy XIII confirmed for xbox 360

Well with Tekken 6, you also have to rely on the arcade revenue it garners as well. First and for most it's primary source of income is from the Arcades it's in.

 

Which as of lately is slowly drowning in japan eh no?

 

I hope 13Versus will jump ship too, if it doesn't that might be pretty messed up.

 

MgS4 I still see no way of getting ported, even if production cost gets skewed and a loss is made from the game (which will....suck, konami might just say screw the series)

MGS was ported to the Xbox 180 years ago.

MGS4 cannot be ported. Anyone who has played through the game and seen what is in it knows a lot of copyright infringements will have to be broken to port it over.

 

iPod

PS3

Sony

Blu-Ray

PSOne

MGS1

 

All have been mentioned or are used in game. Take out those elements however and you can port. But I'm pretty sure a contract has been drawn up so none of that can be removed. Especially the iPod.

MGS1 was also released on PC, they could just use PC footage instead of PSX. Blu-Ray doesn't have to be, since it's leading prefered media format, anything Sony would have to be removed, Apple products maybe removed, but don't have to be (iPod would probably get the boot, but the Mac Book probably wouldn't).

 

I played the game and I just debunked about 4 outta 6 of those. It's a great game, but why does it look ugly is beyond me D:

Question: Why can't there be an iPod in a 360 game? Is it's use so derisive to Microsoft that it needs to be cut?

[Wizard]

Zune is the competing device that's going against the iPod, which is why.

[L.S.D]

If only MGS4 and GT5 not going to be ported to X360, I can live with it. Missing out on the final chapter of Snake's life which have the chance to come on a PC is not world-ending.

[Skythe]

Haha is all I gotta say.

Not PSX footage, but part of the actual PSOne game is in MGS4 to play. And if you're talking about footage, then MGS3 footage is in it as well. Also, tons of music from past games and PS2 exclusive games are in MGS4. ZOE anyone?

[Inky]

lol. Xbox has official ipod support. so I see no problem there. the game is wack as hell anyways so I don't see the need to port cutscene solid over.

 

FFXIII is a nice little slap in the face though. I've said it before and I'll say it again. the only thing that will remain exclusive on either side are first and second party titles. it just costs to much to make and market a game these days to get all your money back+profits on one console.

How much of this is actually integral to the game though? Could the occasional cut-scene from previous games not just be replaced by old new ones? As far as the music goes, surely the rights are owned by Konami and not Sony? Seems strange that Konami would deliberately sabotage any chance of a port. I mean like MGS2-style, a year or so later. I don't care about MGS4, just curious

Yeah, surely any of these third party titles that runs into massive production costs will eventually be ported. I can't see any of these companies sacrificing profit for the sake of remaining exclusive to one particular console. Unless they are tied in to a rock-solid agreement, in which case it makes no sense to make a game they know will likely not sell enough to make a profit.

 

I'm curious about FFXIII being US/EU only. IIRC Lost Odyssey's US/EU sales only accounted for something like a third of the total. Will it really garner enough sales from those regions to be profitable?

I think the port itself is a means to make FFXIII as a whole profitable since only a fraction of PS3 owners are outside Japan and since the 360 runs rampant everywhere else as well.

[Lucandrake]

It feels like their trying to do what FFVII did with FXIII for the new generations...

 

Meh but they always show that cutscene bullsh!t I wanna see real gameplay!
