Sony, are you sleeping?
if so please quit game business and leave it to M$

Onna76_NL  |  July 15th, 2008 at 2:27 am

@Xenix, huh? do I know you? That was in Dutch people. I can’t think too straight, what you’d expect after only about 4 hours of sleep. I guess a new reason now is to be pissed about is the stunt that SE pulled off with M$ against Sony if Sony truly didn’t know anything about this. To be honest, that doesn’t drive me away from Sony, but even pulls me even closer to them.

Onna76_NL  |  July 15th, 2008 at 2:28 am

Expensive or not, exclusive or not, but its the stab in the back that did it.

SickNick85  |  July 15th, 2008 at 2:31 am

We Want Gears of war 2 this November…if Microsoft stole an exclusive ,you need to stole an exclusive too

Do you understand that you are real in truble now…

terce  |  July 15th, 2008 at 2:33 am

So disappointing! Lost FFXIII means that PS3 is dying. I buy PS3 because I want to play Metal Gear, FF and Kingdom Hearts. Recently, Xbox owns many RPG, but PS3….

Although I will support PS3 and buy PS3 Version, I think that PS3 is loser at that moment. Even I see many improvement of PS3 after the launch.

Today, I feel so sad to know the news of FFXIII

FFXIII is for playstation only………………in Japan.

What is the gag

CantaloupeKing  |  July 15th, 2008 at 2:53 am

I didn’t see the E3 conference, but heard of it afterwards on G4TV’s talk-thingy. A part of me died inside when I heard FFXIII was not exclusive. And I can’t imagine how much this hurts Sony to know that a guaranteed console-seller like that is being shared. Also, Square Enix made Kingdom Hearts. You hear that!?!? We could lose Kingdom Hearts exclusivity! I think that would be too much for me to handle.
I can’t bear to see PS3 lose so much, just when I’ve gotten into full swing with HD and everything.
Just so devastating that not even MGS4, while a glorious achievement it is, cannot erase the pain of this loss. Damn you Microsoft!!!!!!!!!!
-RIP FFXIII exclusivity

Sony will show 2 new games we haven’t seen before.

And some other unexpected news.

God of War is not one of the 2 new unannounced games

I’m a new owner of a 360, I originally bought it for the video content, but after watching that press conference I’m wondering If I still need my PS3, I feel a great remorse today…

RpgN  |  July 15th, 2008 at 3:29 am

@Onna,

We need more RPGs and less shooters. If Sony were to take an exclusive from Microsoft then let it be LO from Mistwalkers. I’m sick of FPSs.

And you have no idea how angry I am at the moment. When the news came out I was playing FFVIII and was looking forward how FFXIII would take advantage of the power of the ps3. SE and Sony can go to hell! I could have bought an xbox 360 to play all the RPGs they had, but no! I’m stuck with a ps3 that only has enchanted arms as a true rpg

SaintX  |  July 15th, 2008 at 3:35 am

Bravo Bravo Sony!!!! Lets all give Sony a huge round of applause for Sony for F**king us up!!!
Way a go Sony! What did we do to deserve this from you. Losing FFXIII exclusivity to M$. WHAT THE F*** man.
Sony will be saying ‘ oh, but we still got home and many more exclusive titles coming ‘
Oh f**k you Sony, like that gonna heal the wounds that you caused for all ps3fanboys out there. I’m pretty sure the E3 press conference is not gonna bring any surprises. I believe this is a knock out punch that Sony wont be able to recover. Please Sony, prove me wrong. Bad news coming one after another is just too much, losing this exclusivity is just the mother of all bad news and failure. Good luck Sony, you will need all the luck you can get. God help the PS3.

You’re being irrational towards me unless you read every single post on the blog which I’ve posted ever since I’ve heard about FFXIII. First of all, saying: great another shooter, like RPG fans are waiting for “that” I meant as cynichal, that the PS3 is getting nothing but FPS games instead of the RPG games which fans like you and “me” are dying for. I’ve only slept about 4 hours because of this mess so react like I don’t care, because I care more about this situation than you can possible imagine.

And now I’ve put all the puzzle pieces together, it isn’t entirely Sony to blame for but Square Enix and M$. If its true that Sony honestly didn’t know anything about this, the y both f***ed Sony pretty hard, which makes my disrespect towards M$ even grow bigger and my grudge towards SE explode, to boycot-SE-forever scenario and I mean it.

Onna76_NL  |  July 15th, 2008 at 4:27 am

@RPGN, don’t take my post as if I’m trying to be hard against you, absolutely not, I just want to say with this: “I know exactly how you feel” When I came here I wanted to make friends, not enemies

Xenix quoted: Tomorrow, there will be tears of happiness

Then make me cry Sony, I’m in an emotional state, enough as it is so one surprise and boom… *cries*

White Knight Chronicles release date announcement and you have me crying.

So why didn’t you guys secure exclusivity on Final Fantasy 13??????!!!!!

LOOK AT THE REPLIES IN THIS BLOG AND START SPENDING SOME CASH ON SOME EXCLUSIVITY!!!!!!

karrai  |  July 15th, 2008 at 6:07 am

Well,I have supported playstation brand for over 10 years,and never feel so depressing as of today.

From PS3 launches,disappointments comes one after another.PS3 is LOSING more and more
exclusive titles,DMC4,MH3,TOV,SO4…let alone Assassins Creed and GTA4.And now SONY cant even keep FF13 exclusive?

I know there is plenty of awesome first party games coming,but so does MS.What makes you different from your competitors is EXCLUSIVE THIRD PARTY GAMES,especially when you are the last one in this race.

I know exclusive title needs money,and sony are losing billions of dollars because of PS3 hardware.But why don’t you stop wasting money on project like HOME or some expensive shooters?Save money,buy us exclusive JRPGs,not any more stupid shooters.

Even with that,it’s hard to recover lost faith.Everyone now thinking like this way,”Hey,that PS3 exclusive game looks amazing!”"Oh,it’s 3rd party’s game,I’ll wait for 360 version!”

I see, I mistook that it was your comment about the many shooters. Sorry about that!

And I would never get angry at you. Having a sister girlgamer and from Holland as well is a great thing!

Eindelijk zie ik ook een meisje die met games bezig is en ook nog hier. Wij staan wel voor elkaar als meiden onder elkaar

Within a few hours we’ll see sony’s reply. I’ve got the knifes ready!

GGCAN  |  July 15th, 2008 at 6:37 am

FFXIII a loss to MS, yah sort of…but we still will have it.

And from what I’ve read the PC is first…PS3 next and then they start dev work on the 360.

So we have a bit of advantage, not much, but some.

I think we may see this more as the devs want money from any console they can grab it from.

GGCAN  |  July 15th, 2008 at 6:39 am

From 1up.com:

“One of the interesting points made was that development of the Xbox 360 version of the game won’t begin until the PS3 version has been completed. “

Cetra  |  July 15th, 2008 at 6:51 am

I don’t know why most of the rpgs are either xbox360 exclusive or releasing on xbox360 first. What happen Sony? All the rpgs the playstation is well known for, where are they?

And now even Xbox360 can get to play Final Fantasy. I was SO DISPPOINTED when i heard this news.

I don’t know what exclusives we are going to lose next. C’mon Sony, give us PS3 owners something to be proud of. Something we can proudly tell everyone why we support the PS3.

BIG-SLUG  |  July 15th, 2008 at 6:58 am

LOL good thing I never touched a FF game before other wise I’d be pissed! FPS are my favorite type of game but even I’m getting sick of seeing new ones showing up on this console. We all know they won’t be better then COD4 anyway, so move your market to what your customers are asking for, and you wont have hundreds of negative feedback hhm?

kenshinhimura  |  July 15th, 2008 at 6:59 am

What’s going on with SONY lately ?
Losing Star Ocean, and now Final Fantasy brand.
We know, and I’m sure all the SONY top management know that Final Fantasy brand is one of the driver of console sales.
I still can’t believe that it’s gone now. Hey Mr. Stinger, brings back Ken Kutaragi. He knows how to maintain “best” relationship with Japanese developers. We need Japanese devs to lead console sales, if not I foresee Playstation 3 will be the last console.
Ciao.

Unlike those Japanese devs I have principles and honor and despite the fact I love RPG’s, I’m not going to buy a 360, I would sell my PS3 and stop HD gaming rather than I would buy a 360.

@Karrai I agree with you about every word you wrote.

Just a link posted in case people want to check out E3 news.

paradigmfellow  |  July 15th, 2008 at 7:33 am

I am sure a lot of people already heard but Square jumped the boat and took FF13 exclusivity, it will now be on the other thing as well. I hope Sony has an off the wall show at E3 because this news so horrible. First of I hope they have a price reduction on PS3, more amazing exclusives, off the wall anouncemet that will blow us away, and some kind of team up with google and apple just to bite microsoft in the you know what.

GGCAN  |  July 15th, 2008 at 7:33 am

If you have TVersity set up with your PS3…get GT4 podcasts and they are showing some E3 news as well.

You can view those on the TV via your PS3.
