Where are the idiots who think that MS can't keep a secret, and we knew everything they were going to announce? Eh? Eh?

What a way to end a conference, Don Mattrick couldn't even attempt to hide that smile. He knew what had just happened.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Was this the first time someone from microsoft actually came up on stage and actively started gloating about stealing sony exclusives?

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Xbox 360 == RPG console confirmed

 

[explodet]

GODDAMNIT WHY DID THEY ZOOM OUT

I KNOW!

So annoying.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Talk about a roller-coaster :lol

I was saying that not even Alan Wake could save the conference... I was wrong haha


Way to go Sony! haha



For how much do 60GB BC PS3s go on ebay these days?

 

[pulga]

i cant believe those crazy fuckers pulled this off :lol watch KHIII Wii announced tomorrow and witness the collective ps3 fanboys perform a simultaneous suicide

oh microsoft :lol

 

[BlazingDarkness]

i cant believe Sony just lost their biggest fucking exclusive
epic fail

 

[MirageDwarf]

I doubt this will be single disc game on 360. Might buy it on PS3 then.

PUT THE TRAILER ON LIVE

PUT IT ON LIVE NOW

GODDAMNIT WHY DID THEY ZOOM OUT

Isn't the same trailer that was shown for PS3?

 

[Father_Brain]

Dear Sony fans,

Now you know how it feels.

Signed,
Nintendo fans

Now, that's a bit of an exaggeration. It's not like they cancelled the PS3 version.

 

[N30RYU]

Square Enix just saved me to pay 70€ for the original game.

 

[PnCIa]

Didn´t Sony once said that "they don´t need GTA"? Are they going to say the same here...once again? :lol

 

[Won]

So how does this game work?

"Final Fantasy was never a good game to begin with!"

"We still got FFvsXIII, bitches!"

"LOL disc swaps!"

 

[Deleted member 20415]

Where does this leave Versus? That's going to be interesting to see if it comes out on PS3 AND 360.

 

[FoneBone]

Anyway, I honestly didn't think it was that surprising. It does, however, now leave MGS4 as the only AAA 3rd-party exclusive... unless you count Tekken 6. And that may well not stay exclusive, either.

 

[Weisheit]

Second.

Gran Turismo is much bigger than Final Fantasy.

No fucking way GT is as big FF, not anymore anyway.

 

[thrasher]

I'd like to see the Japanese hardware sales next week.

 

[Zoso]

Holy Shit! Fantastic News for me ; I don't have much of a need to buy a PS3 now, except for MGS4 =/

 

[Fady K]

The ONLY mega 3rd party game and Sony couldnt keep it. Whats left for the future besides Sony's games exclusive?

 

[TrueReligion]

So is this going to come out on 10 discs?

 

[h3ro]

Hmm.. Sony, how about this... $299 :lol


Holy shit, I think I love my 360 more now.

 

[MikeE21286]

How could Sony have let this one go.........seriously....

I have both 360 and PS3 so I'm playing it either way....but makes me look at my PS3 with an angry face :lol

 

[rollingstart]

I would feel bad for Sony since they lost their biggest third party exclusive, but it is probably their own fault that they didn't stop this from happening.

I am shocked that the 360 is the RPG system of this gen. SHOCKED.

 

[DangerStepp]

How many discs will it be on?

Good Question... we can speculate as soon as we learn how long it'll take to install on PS3.

 

[Dizzan]

Didn't really see this one coming!

Holy shit. Huge loss for Sony. I wonder how hard they tried to secure exclusivity....

 

[akachan ningen]

Not sure why anyone is that surprised about it. I was actually expecting it to be multi-platform for awhile.

Although this does amuse me because it's like all the fanboy allegiances are clear as day when stuff like this happens.

Pretty much. The overreactions in this thread are amazing.

 

[blame space]

PS3 with MGS4 and... and...for sale ....seriuosly,i never thought this would happen,they most of paid tons for SE to do this,jesus...

I will give you $10USD

 

[Darko]

 

[Ceres]

What happens during E3, stays at E3.

Come now. We'll be in for massive lols like the whole Devil May Cry petition that was made when it was announced as multiplatform. The fallout is pure entertainment

Spoiler

and I own a PS3 and not a 360

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Yeah everyone is taking this WAAAAY out of proportions. Relax kids. That Conference sucked bigtime other than that announcement of a game coming in 2010. Not exclusive either. Great news but I wanted a little bit more original IP.

maybe I'm wrong, but it's a megaton not for the 360 getting FF, but for Sony LOSING the exclusive of its biggest franchise :lol

 

[Eccocid]

LOL after ff 13 announcement a sony guy should had jumped to stage and say "$299" that would be megaton counterattack!

 

[AshRiot]

FF13 exclu ps3 in japan ??

 

[batbeg]

Xbox 360 == RPG console confirmed

Square-Enix, tri-Ace, Mistwalker... I bow to the 360.

 

[clo1_2000]

Well, this is one of the two games I originally bought my PS3 for; the other being MGS. I'm glad I own all three consoles, but I can see how this would piss some people off.

 

[kozmo7]

Not sure why anyone is that surprised about it. I was actually expecting it to be multi-platform for awhile.

Although this does amuse me because it's like all the fanboy allegiances are clear as day when stuff like this happens.

I thought it was only FF13 VERSUS that was planned to be multi-platform? Maybe I don't remember it that well.

 

[TwinsDad]

Well. It seems that everybody will be able to partake in FFXIII.

Yea. Only have a PS3 and Wii, but still now the HD consoles get to have FF goodness.

 

[dacuk]

SE=bunch of sellouts, how much did MS pay?

AFAIK, SE (and every freaking game company) is in the business for the money.

I remember the Resident Evil 4 Capcom betrayal-thon (if only much smaller...)

 

[Y2Kev]

I doubt this will be single disc game on 360. Might buy it on PS3 then.


Isn't the same trailer that was shown for PS3?

no, it was like 90% new

 

[Zophar]

Thanks for selling out your fanbase S-E. I poured probably thousands of dollars into your lap with your offerings on Sony platforms. Your support of the PS3 was instrumental in my purchasing one. Now you're murdering your flagship series for a quick cash grab. Why? Because you have no faith in your fans. Konami turned out all right with Metal Gear, what makes you think we'd be any different for motherfucking Final Fantasy? I and millions of others have rushed out to buy your major releases precisely at release time and time again. I'm certain many of us were still poised to do so, and still are.

I'm not happy that you drank the kool-aid. You had no reason to get into bed with Microsoft and take it this far.

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

Didn't surprise me.

Verses is still PS3 only, and White Knight Chronicles interests me more than FF nowadays.

I was more surprised seeing The Last Remnant on the PC than this. I coulda called this months ago.

More interested in White Knight than FF?

I somehow find that VERY hard to believe. :lol

Versus XIII, will likely be awesome, but Kitase is on FFXIII.

 

[Prime Blue]

Wikipedia fueling the fire and salting Sony fanboy wounds.

The third one cracked me up so bad. :lol

 

[PhatSaqs]

Why is everyone so excited?

It's not that great of an announcement.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[dmshaposv]

SERIOUS BETRAYLATON.

I bought sony's fucking console for this. FUCK YOU Square.

 

[Fady K]

FFVsXIII will probably hit the 360 in launch day too

 

[Forsete]

At typical GAF knee-jerk reaction "Now I dun need my PS3! woho!" :lol

 

[cvxfreak]

I'd like to see the Japanese hardware sales next week.

Not much.

In fact, one of the biggest game stores in Tokyo, the West-Shinjuku Yodobashi, has an RE5 poster up on its wall advertising the game... it mentions PS3, but not 360. I really don't think Japan cares.

But the west (or at least the US) on the other hand... huge. Unless the PS3 makes huge inroads against the 360's userbase, the 360 version will probably outsell the PS3 one.

 

[Pein]

well it doesn't matter what sony announces tomorrow this was probably the biggest exclusive they had

 

[Epix]

This really sucks. We'll be getting a worse game for it. Oh well, I've got a few years to get over it.

 

[EnjoyIncubus]

So, anyone want to guess how many millions of dollars Microsoft forked over to Square to make this a reality?

 

[AndresON777]

I don't even like the FF games and this was a shock to me

Word.

 

[Aggelos]

GODDAMNIT WHY DID THEY ZOOM OUT

Square-Enix's usual policy about the trailers
