Final Fantasy Fans Boo Xbox 360 at London Event

[Axle_Bullitt_19]

Well I have pretty much decided thats its useless to care about whether or not a third party studio will port there game or not to another console nowadays, since most of them finaly have the funds to do so. I will olny ever do something like this if Sony decides to sell off Naughty Dog or Polyphony Digital for no apparent reason.

P.S. Also those guys could always sell the bundle and get the PS3 version anytime. That would be my plan of attack.

Fanboys are so ungreatful

I was hoping to see a bunch of pale people start "fighting"

The only group of people who could ***** about being fortunate

 

[JWAN]

how can we claim that Atkinson and Thompson are wrong, when this is the public face of gamers?

were screwing ourselves over...

I wasn't in that group, and neither were you. The best thing we can do is distance ourselves from those retards, possibly with moats filled with alligators.

This entire thread in a nutshell

 

[The Bum]

Gentelman fanboy logic is simple if you don't like their game they hate you, if you are better at said game they hate you if your not they hate you cause your "weak" and if your not a gamer at all they just hate you sny way

 

[mikecoulter]

Haha, kinda funny.

I have nothing against either console but it was good how he built it up, only to a wave of booing.

 

[SilentSh0tz]

my god, all over a game. Talk about a ultra nerd rage

 

[gatti]

Well, the 360 is not necessarily the best system to play cross-platform games on. Especially with the failure rate of the system. XBOX LIVE is the only good thing about it. Think about it... who wants to play a 60 hour game just for the system to fail 50 hours in ;-)

Thinking about it... if I were in the audience, I probably would have participated in the "booing" for the fun of it.

 

[brodie21]

why would you boo a console? its just plastic and circuitry. it cant hear you and it has no feelings to hurt

 

[robinkom]

It's funny regardless of what anyone thinks about it.

The only difference in versions is the PS3 version runs in a higher resolution. I would think it's a visually beautiful game regardless of which you play it on.

Besides, if they're giving away console bundles they should be happy they're getting a spare in the event that their current Xbox 360 has a total meltdown.

This is like how I was when I learned fat princess and MAG were on PS3 only except i'm not mad or stupid.....also not a dumbass

 

[Deleted]

He should have just said "fuck you all" and give nobody the prize.

 

[Nomanslander]

Well think of it like this, a couple hundred years ago you had religious fanboys that were swinging swords at each other over who had the better God.

Times have changed indeed...lol

I'm not going to boo the 360, I'm going to personally thank Squarenix for allowing me to not have to fork out an extra £300 to play this game. I don't care that I have to change discs, I don't care if it not going to be as good as the PlayStation 3 version. At least I can play it without having to justify a PS3 buy. This also marks the justification of my poor decision for buying a 360 since, apart from GTA4 and Fable 2, it's gathered dust and not been used.

I'm not bashing the PlayStation 3, just it doesn't 'woo' me. There is only one game I want for the console (MGS4) and consoles don't keep me focused these days, unlike the 1990's and the early 2000's where Sega, Sony and Nintendo did keep me pretty happy.

The first FF game I played was FFX and I was a bit young to play it at the time. I got part way through and then stopped for whatever reason. I began to have interest in FFXII but the time I became interested in it PS3 and 360 were out - no thanks I hate going back and playing PS2 stuff now, looks teh uglehs. So I wanted to see if I really like FF or not, so I rented FF XIII for 360. YES I have a PS3, but I prefer gaming on my 360 as the PS3 is used more often by others in my house to watch Bluray movies.

What's so wrong with having FF on multi-platforms? Personally I'm to chapter 6 of FFXIII and I really enjoy it. If it had been on PS3 it would've taken me far longer to get to this same point. If it was a crowd of PS3 fanboys then yeah, I could see part of their anger - Sony losing all their exclusives means less reason to buy a PS3 over a 360. Granted GoW III just came out and that's a hella exclusive, but Sony is running out and exclusives are slipping away. Sony still has Gran Turismo, MGS, and GoW (Uncharted if you want to include that but I'm with Yahtzee on that one) but GTA and FF were two other big franchises that always used to be theirs first - no more though.

From a fanboy perspective (I'm not, but I'm looking through how they probably see) this means when the next generation comes out, consider that the huge franchises like CoD and all that jazz are on both consoles - no real winner there. But the 360 has franchies that the masses love like Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Splinter Cell, etc. So Microsoft is racking up exclusives and Sony is losing them. So from an average persons standpoint, wouldn't you rather the console that has the most exclusvies you really want plus the big titles that they all get?

Me personally - I own a PS3 and 360 so I can play both exclusives (I'd only have a 360 if I had to go with the first one I bought, and I'd be killing to play GoW III...)! But others more strapped for cash don't have that choice. Still if it was a collection of FF fans what's it to them? The game isn't different other than you can - *GASP* - play the game on something other than a Sony game console! Everything about FFXIII feels just like it would on the Playstation.

Bugger Off

 

[Undeadpope]

TV ads in the uk which only acknowledge the 360, almost as if its an xbox exclusive.

I think those are microsofts ads,which if they are conveying it is for xbox 360 only,makes sense in commerical terms.

 

[Jabbawocky]

These are probably the same stupid fans that feel Final Fantasy should only belong to Sony despite starting off on Nintendo consoles.

 

[squid5580]

I also remember when G4 asked a bunch of random people in Japan during the launch of the two consoles which one they were more excited for.

Most everyone said the 360.

are they perhaps booing because they believe FF has been dimmed down for the 360, something I still don't know is true or not?

It's true.

So enlighten us. How was the pre 360 build different? I mean you must have been there to make such statements right? You had to have been either working on the project or been a fly on the wall to know this right? This couldn't be fanboy trollbait could it?
