Final Fantasy Fans Boo Xbox 360 at London Event

[Vigilantis]

Boo!!!!

I don't like the xbox either...but I would not complain if I won one for free...at least I can resell it on ebay.

 

[vallorn]

I belive they were booing for two reasons:

1,FF games are normaly played in one looooong sitting... and we all know what happens to 360's if you leave them on (ive had mine replaced 3 times)

2, FF;XIII is a broken port to the 360. in a similar manner to how most multiplatform games are made for the 360's low specs and just ported over to PS3 without taking advantage of the PS3's power.


However they shouldnt have booed a Freebie, that's just kind of stupid.

This kinda makes me ashamed of being a fan of the PS3...

Any Wii-players care to hang out while the 360 fans and the PS3 fans duke it out in the streets?

You rang Hubilub?

Quick! To the Wii-mobile!

*dudududududududududududududududu*

I call shotgun.

can I come? I need a rest from Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Wasnt Halo the other way around? Bungie started as part of microsoft studios then became a third party. In other news- Retards boo the 360 at an event. Fuck em' SE owes nothing to Sony, and probably has made more money from FF11 on 360 subs than It has from Sony in recent years. I have both consoles and even though its a better game on ps3 (one disc and better res FMV's) I bought the 360 version because I will always get multiplatform games for 360 regardless.

 

[Skeleton Jelly]

Fuck I own a 360 and if they offered a ps3 FF13 bundle, I'd woo. Hell even if I don't end up liking the ps3, I could just sell it and the game. But I'd keep it and have twice as much fun.

 

[Vern]

Hell, I'm just pissed that it was released on the PS3 and the 360 and not the Super Nintendo. Remember fanboys, Sony didn't always have Final Fantasy either.

 

[Brotherofwill]

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.

Amen to that. I feel their pain. The transition to multiplat hasn't exactly been easy on FF. I think the booing was rather funny, justified or not. Poor announcer guy.

 

[Shamanic Rhythm]

"Grr! Your selfless compassion fills me with murderous frenzy!"

Fanboys just baffle me. There are far better things to be passionate about in life than an electronic box.

 

[Stewz]

They were probably booing Final Fantasy itself as it can't of been the xbox because it is brilliant.

 

[scotth266]

Oh, right. Fanboys. Logic does not apply here.

Hypocritical statements for the win.

I have a very good reason for disliking FFXIII on the 360.

Spoiler

We as PS3 owners lost out because of you 360 owners.

By that logic shouldn't you hate Sony equally for not holding onto a potential exclusive? I think that's what I find confusing about the whole situation, even if you ascribe to the PS3 version being dumbed down for the xbox360 - why is there no fan hate directed towards Square-Enix and Sony?

Because that requires the fanboys to see something outside their narrow-minded "M$ IS THE CORPORATE WHOREHOUSE" worldview that they've grown so accustomed to over the years. It's much easier for them demonize what used to be the competition than to realize that Square finally asked Sony to pay them too much for their exclusivity.

 

[quiet_samurai]

Wow. Do these people not realize that the FF series has crossed almost all console platforms?

 

[lovest harding]

Why don't we just play the game rather than complain about who ruined what for whoever?
When did playing the games become second to trying to find someone to blame for something (or booing because we want to blame someone for something)?

I wanted to respond to so many things, but this was the only thing I could think of that could address most of them.

 

[Kielgasten]

Heh, I probably would have booed, too.

I mean, FFXIII was originally meant to be a ps3 exclusive, and there are TV ads in the uk which only acknowledge the 360, almost as if its an xbox exclusive.

And?
No seriously, why does this matter?

Shhh, it's ok. Ignore the fanboy. Come, sit with me and have some tea, he's only trying to upset you.

 

[Brad Shepard]

So FF13 was ment for the ps3, big damn deal, im more then happy that it came out for the 360, it saves me about 400 bucks.

 

[GloatingSwine]

Wasnt Halo the other way around? Bungie started as part of microsoft studios then became a third party.

Bungie started as a Mac developer (See: Marathon), Microsoft bought them during the production of the first Halo (which was, at various times, an RTS, a 3rd person action RTS, and finally an FPS), and then spun them out as a seperate developer but held on to the Halo license.

There's no reason now that Bungie couldn't produce multiplatform games, (they actually did make one PS2 game, Oni), but I suspect they'll stay tight with Microsoft, mates rates and all that.

 

[Qualko]

SO much hate in this world

Spot on... especially when we factor in the internet, the 'seeding trough' of hate.

 

[Wakefield]

If they're booing the 360 because it' supposed to be a ps3 exclusive that's just dumb. FF was a nintendo product way before it was on the Playstation.

Oh yeah, fanboys are stupid.

 

[cmstewart87]

Am I the only one who finds this hilarious?

As a member of the PS3/360/Wii/Gaming PC owner crowd, I find this just silly.

You sure they weren't boring at George Lamb?

I hate that guy.

I agree. Lets both be boring at him

I have to say that owning all the gaming systems really removes any fanboy syndrome. I used to have it bad for Nintendo like 10 years ago when I was 13! XD
