After what they did in E3, they said, there is an announcement that will shock the fan, guess what I'm really shocked to find that the announcement was a FFXIII demo that is going to be released only in Japan, is there anything more shocking than this.
The event is over and nothing new has been announced, in the end all this waiting was in vain,
Somebody will say why you thought it is going to be big, will after hearing them saying that they will swing the ball back to Sony by announcing something big; you will wait and hope they do.
At least they announced many things for the PSP, which is good.
In the end SE didn't swing the ball back to Sony by this announcement and there is nothing new for FF7 fan (which is my favorite game).

I just assumed the event went on all day with all of the news reports yesterday saying things like "Square's Big Announcement to be Made Tomorrow". I really doubt that the event is over.
Edit: I found an article from 45 minutes ago saying a new trailer was shown again at the event... I think that proves it is still going http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-178937.aspx

Ah no,I don't agree. They just gave people even more reasons to buy Blu-Rays
and PSPs. I think that counts for something.

Agreed Harry190.

You can only get the Full XIII experience on the Playstation format. That's a pretty big ball to swing Sony's way. Versus sounds much better anyway.

the AC: Complete with FFXIII demo swung the ball back to Sony, sorta. Do you know the astronomical sales that the PS3 will get now because of this? (in JPN)
I mean, has any platform ever made a bundle with a movie?
PSP is getting some love so i'm really happy.

i think it was a good show. the only thing that upset me was no VII remake announcement and the rumored PS3 version of XIII will have to wait until the 360 port is finished before releasing it

I agree with you, they did help Sony a lot with their announcements. But PSP is not in direct competition with X360
And they were talking about one special announcement that will swing the ball back to Sony; I don’t think a demo is enough to do that.
Another thing, we all knew the demo will be released with the LAST Raiment exclusively for Ps3.

To be fair, they never said they'd swing it back into the PS3's favour.
Giving the PSP Parasite Eve 3 and Agito XIII definitely looks like a move in Sony's [read SONY's, not PS3's] favour.

That is the most annoying thing man, I was really waiting for it, and it is my favorite game of all time

To be fair those PSP games did swing the ball in favor of Sony. Parasite Eve and FFXIII Antigo so what about PS3 they are putting out 2 sweet titles on another Sony product which before they said could easily of been thrown on the DS instead.

BluRay demo is fine I guess they couldn't really put it in with Dragon Quest this time

We know GoLeafGo, everyone has said that now, hehe.

But meepmoopmeep, Microsoft have obviously paid, otherwise that wouldn't be the case. And to be honest, the team doign FFXIII have never even tocuhed a 360 dev kit yet. If they focus on PS3, there may yet have to be some SERIOUS cuts for the 360 version. Least of all the amount of disks.

Someone mentioned this on NeoGAF and no one had any way to answer him. It's actually not am impossibility that SE will screw themselves by not beign able to release an on-par 360 version.

Lets wait and see, it's still a ways off.

The game hasn't even touched the PS3 it's being developed on the PC then moved to the PS3 and finally the 360. The Crystal Tool engine they are using for the game runs on PC/PS3/360/Wii so I think they have it under control for the most part.

yeah like PS360WII said,

Crystal Tools was developed with every platform in mind, so i don't think it will be too hard to port any game from one platform to another.

with your question, the compression to fit everything on multiple discs could possibly make the 360 version inferior (not saying that it will happen) but it's still a possibility now that Carmack has openly stated something about this. who knows, i don't care which is better or whatever, i just don't like the idea that a product is finished but we have to wait for the other platform to be completed before we get it.

That's what happens when the internet spreads rumors of a possible bigger thing! Like making 1 a R and an fliped D an A

to further on your frustration meepmoopmeep I dislike when they can finish a project and then only get it a year later because they needed to add english to the disk

Square Enix takes forever for the localization I don't doubt it takes them as long as making the 360 version
