I get what you said but it's still stupid. Oh wow! Some PS3 games are going to be cheaper than they were! That's totally the best reason ever to get a PS3! Because the PS3 will have a few cheap games soon, unlike every console or PC that has ever existed in the history of the world, right?
I'm sorry I've lead you to the confusion rotoOriginally Posted by Roto13
It's because that I've said that games would be cheaper, you'll get to buy more movies, rigth?
That's because you can buy movies off the PSS and play them directly on your PS3.
You're the confused one here. What the hell do movies have to do with anything?
read my previous post, I've said that you could use the extra cash to buy movies.
And you can buy movies on your PS3.
Nobody cares about movies. That's not the point here at all.
Man, all this talk about the Versus team put on hold to speed up production, hyping up a multiplatform release, and saying that the wait will be over soon all seems inappropriate when just the Demo is coming out in March 2009. That's like 8 months away, it makes you wonder what the hell they're actually doing over there.
Building hype. Its not like the old days when a few screenshots in a mag could get people drooling. With the way information is today, this is a better marketing ploy. Stay tight lip about any details and let non-credible third party sources start unfounded rumors. I'm going to say we may see another delay. 09 seems right for Japan but 2010 will be more likely for U.S. and PAL regions. Though they may pull another X and try to get it released in time for the holidays.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Square really are one of the most inefficient companies, its standard to be waiting several years for any of their titles, except for ports. When you look at developers like Insomniac who are able to produce a quality title every year you have to wonder what Square do with all their time.

(so does Insomniac)
Building hype is one thing. The first trailer for the game was shown, what, 3 years ago? With in-battle footage. How they hell could they have all that actually built up, and still take all this time to keep going through with it? It's crazy how it's almost becoming industry standard to begin advertising a video game, years before it is released.Building hype.

Considering how little information has trickled outside of the main footage we've seen time and time again, it makes you think that there must be some pretty big secret that they're hiding about this. It's baffling.
They did with XII. Hell, little to no info appeared for FFIX and X until the Japanese release. I think we got a screenshot and a few words and both were announced shortly after VIII's release. I think North America got an official teaser trailer about 2 or 3 months before its U.S. release. SE has always been bad about marketing their games. Then again, its hard to blame them when hype and word of mouth are generally more efficient in the gaming world. Persona 3 has done quite well considering it got little to no PR. Xenogears and FFT are two other games that have done incredibly well despite lack of coverage and exposure.Building hype is one thing. The first trailer for the game was shown, what, 3 years ago?

Though incredibly aggravating, I feel its a good marketing plan.

I think a little marketing never hurts.
Just look at FFVII.
So what if you pay 10 000$ in publicity, FF7 (Most sales) got 1.5 million more in sales than FF8 (Second most sales), on Playstation.
Yes, but Insomniac are generally making sequels, with most gameplay elements intact. They are generally improving elements that have worked in their previous games and adding new elements that they think will work. And they have the main characters already. And no Insomniac game is anywhere near as long as a Final Fantasy game. Nor is there anywhere near as much detail put in.Square really are one of the most inefficient companies, its standard to be waiting several years for any of their titles, except for ports.

I think Insomniac do a fantastic job, and I definitely think that they games are awesome (I made sure that when I got my PS3 bundle, it was the one that had Ratchet & Clank in it). But you can't compare the development cycles of Insomniac and Square-Enix.
Of course, like FFX and FFX-2...
Issomniac still need to create all new levels and enhance it (Like R&CF:ToD/QfB)
Didn't Square-Enix used the White Engine for FFXII (and had the intention of using it for FFXIII until it changed to Crystal Tools)
