Star Ocean 4 PS3 Confirmed: Xbox Betrayed, Sold, Lost!

The pool of Japanese Xbox 360 “exclusives” appears to be shrinking fast with the news that ero-RPG Star Ocean 4 is to come to the PS3, its exclusive status having apparently worn off in much the same way as with the imminent Tales of Vesperia.
The news comes by way of a leaked release schedule indicating that “Star Ocean 4 The Last Hope International” will be due in Japan on February 2010.
Confirmed features so far are voices switchable between English and Japanese, and what look to be minor cosmetic changes and gameplay tweaks.
The language options presumably mean a dual language English version will also be released, and the game has indeed appeared briefly in the release schedules of some US retailers.
With Square Enix having betrayed the Xbox 360 so flagrantly, we can but wonder what awaits in a PS3 version, and whether the Xbox 360 release will turn out to be but a beta version as in the now notorious Tales of Vesperia fiasco.
Assuming of course that it escapes the wrath of a Sony check...

english voice overs will be useless imo =\ ruins the game for me as well
tri-ace localizations seem to have the worst voice overs... im never quite sure why
That's the only reason I never bought the xbox version. Hopefully they'll release the japanese voices as DLC.
Same reason why tri-ace games have shitty stories - they only know how to make a good battle system.
this game made me sleepy, seriously. very boring imo... its nothing compare to the old star ocean games.
Anon 06:34 knows what he's talking about. SO2 and SO1 I always enjoyed, and SO3 could have been worse.
But this plot was about as well thought out as a 1980's Saturday morning cartoon. I cringed more than once on just about every cut-scene and private action. There were still some pulpy bits that one can enjoy. Planet Roak, for instance, settled into feeling like a real game for a short while (even if the vibe was totally ruined by the chicken-wings fail character and emo hero). With all the catgirls it was hard not to like the atmosphere. And Meracle's intro planet was pretty fun, though that didn't last long did it. The ending twists I did enjoy.
Nevertheless, the script was consistently trite, and the voice actors say all their lines like they're verbally agreeing with the audience that things couldn't be any less interesting (except Welch and Faize; they did very good with what they were given).
I seriously doubt the original Japanese voices could make a game this dull any better. Aside from the battle system. I only ended up finishing the game because the battle system got so addicting.
Still can't beat the horribleness of the dubbed Shikigami No Shiro 2 of course..
At least about 25% prefer an English voice over but I am with your side of the fence.
The English voice acting of S04 is not that bad, 'kay?
I can usually stomach playing J-RPG's with English audio, but undubs and official j-tracks are fine too. When more and more voice actors for one language start sounding trite to you, that's usually a good sign it's time to switch to a different language.
Also, die in a fire, 'kay? Nothing personal. I'll even join you if I have to hear SO4's creepiest uncanny-valley-doll say 'kay again in my head just one more time.
Companies are noticing the PS3 closing the gap.
Good thing I didn't get this yet for my now broken 360 like I got TALES OF FUCKING TRAITOROUS VESPERIA!
NAMCO YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES! ASSHOLES! I'M NEVER GOING TO PURCHASE ONE OF YOUR FUCKING GAMES AGAIN!
I WILL PIRATE THEM ALL!
AND ARTEFACT STOP BEING A FUCKING PS3 FANBOY AND RUBBING IT IN THAT THE 360 VERSION OF VESPERIA IS SHIT!
AND HOLDING FUCKING CELEBRATIONS THAT ALL THE GAMES WE BOUGHT FOR 360 ARE GETTING IMPROVED AND PUT ON FUCKING POS3 YOU FUCKING PRICK!
I ONLY HAVE 1 GAME FOR THAT FUCKING SHIT SYSTEM AND IT COST A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY! IT CAN'T EVEN PLAY PS2 GAMES!!!
CLOUDSONG RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE
all i can say is LOL @ you. grow the fuck up and stop nerd raging
Will buy :)
Do not want actually.
SO4 wasn't in all honesty a great game.
Agreed it was a remarkbly shitty game. Vesperia was leagues better than this.
xbox just got pwnd
"pwnd" ?
If by that you mean playing games years later, sure. And how is that ToV PS3 version coming ? Still Japan only without confirmation for international release ? SO PWND yeah... *shivers*
Yep. Pwnd.
yeah, playing full games years later instead of playing a beta. and oh, wait a second, people in europe have to wait for a year anyway.
Region Free-ness makes importing an option for the EU PS3 owners though.
It was matter of time... the next one will be Magna Carta XD..
Don't cry so much xsuckers...you all can buy a ps3 there are cheaps...XD
Hey Now!!! The Xbox 360 is the only console where you get first access to exclusive betas such as Ninja Gaiden II, Tales of Vesperia and Star Ocean: The Last Hope! Lets not be mean.
That's still only 3 games. Since it gets better ports of stuff like orange box, virtua fighter (had online mode) and most multi plat titles really there's not much to worry about. They'll probably get NG2 black eventually anyway.
TOV PS3 is looking ace but I don't think SO4 PS3 will add much.
But calling full games beta's makes you look dumb. Sure your in a site full of idiots but it still makes you look like an idiot regardless.
eng dub only for SO4 was bad enough to avoid playing the game.
If it's only english-dub... will sucks!
American sucks at dubbing!
"They'll probably get NG2 black eventually anyway." =
if one does come out its seems pretty unlikely it'll be exclusive to either at this point. You forget Itagaki doesn't run Team Ninja anymore and Hayashi's hasn't really shown himself to be much of a 360 fanboy.
Heck, while i'm at it.
"That's still only 3 games. Since it gets better ports of stuff like orange box, virtua fighter (had online mode) and most multi plat titles really there's not much to worry about." =
3 games plus every other japanese exclusive the 360 had other than the ones MS specifically funded (thats is stuff like Mistwalker's stuff, since Mistwalker owes their existance to MS's funding, and Infinite Undiscovery, which was actually a MS Game Studios titles given to Tri-ace to dev). Ah, i guess there's also Last Remnant (which Wada canned because it sold so poorly on the 360 that he felt a PS3 release wouldn't even recoup costs). I should note btw, before someone brings them up, that Softmax (the company behind Magna Carta) and Blueside (behind KUF) are korean, and i did say japanese. The funny thing will be seeing how many 360 fanboys still repeat the mantra "the 360 has become the jrpg console!", even though that stopped being true a while ago already. the 360 may get better ports of Valve's games but teh ps3 has pretty consistantly gotten the better ports (or complete editions, depending on who you ask) of the japanese titles so really that doesn't say much outside of which side of the ocean do you prefer your games from.
yes pwn , now i can do dungeons without stopping so i my xbox360 wont freeze on me !!!!! you know theres a level where you have to do 40 dungeons in one go ><!!!! i cant even pass it because my stupid xbox freezes 70% of the time when i switch pt chars or have been playing for 5 hours ++
YOU XBOTS get to be beta testers for many games thanks to being an XBoT Live Gold member! You guys can twitter, facebook, and netflix at the comfort of your couch, while the poor PS3 owners can do it for free on their browser. Thanks for paying MS $42-50 a year! That "taxpayer" money you give to MS funds PS3 games!
I love Sankaku's endless trolling of Exbawks kiddies.
LOL!!!
You mean sony's boys ...
It really does show that Artefact is well versed in trolling. I'd bet the guy doesn't even have a fucking PS3, he just trolls the 360 because it gets a lot of hits from idiot fanboys.
Fukken ghey
Another one bites the dust.
Bwaaaaahhaaaa!! Xbox shafted.
and why it didn't suprise me at all
Cuz Star Ocean is indeed licensed under Sony back then to start with.. And Sony = Play Station.
haha this is incredible both of my favorite RPGs for xbox are getting versions for PS3 with better features haha its just funny x_x with this now i'm obligated to buy PS3 with both games, tales of vesperia and this one
"Exboawks" kiddies.
Lulz, how quickly have you forgot that the playstation brand started well only because of kiddies like you who think FF7 is the first and best RPG ever.
Cant stop laughing.
You forgot the "only" between "first and best RPG ever". Don't underestimate the stupidty of fanboys.
trolled
Now all we need is lost odessy.
Why do you want something that you cant even spell right ?
LOL what a nitpicky bitter nerd. are you going to keep from feeding your baby because it can't spell food?
So you're his baby?
Goodbye XBox :D
"Confirmed features so far are voices switchable between English and Japanese"
fuck you, 360. fuck you.
you dont own a ps3 do you lol
So is it okay to like Star Ocean again ?
LULZ sony fanboys are hilarious.
Oh come ON, is there anyone who didn't expect this? It was certain from the get go.
all we need now is a couple more RPG games like Monster Hunter on the PS3 and everyone will be happy
2010 all the xbox user have finished the game already lol
yawn..... not really surprising somehow. Just a matter of time.
Enjoy the worst RPG for 360...even xbros were disappointed.
Yeah but watch out, Sony fanboys will say its the great game ever ( since its coming to PS3 now )
so4 sucks so much you cant even change target... i expected the battle to be good as vesperia and got so dissapointed except reimi's ass.
Oh come on, is it really THAT bad? Is it worse then 3?
3 is a masterpiece of Storyline and gameplay compared to 4.
It's so bad, i regret pirating it back then.
I WANT MY VERBATIMS BACK >:(
The only thing SO3 beats SO4 in is that it's much easier to target an opponent. Story, Gameplay, ItemCreation are better in SO4. Yeah, SO3 is still a fun game though...
everything is better in star ocean 3 cocksucker
GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY!!! ^_^
SO4 basic story is really nice. overall the game is just need some polishment. want to bet they'll do it in PS3 version?
I'll say it again -what you played is the "BETA" version. we'll get the "REAL" one with fixing some minor problem enhanced story, scenario etc etc. Thanx for all your hardwork LOL
you didnt even played it before. the battle only let u choose 2skill to use rb and lb. you just keep pressing the 2buttons to win. combat is so repetitive. it needs a lot of polishment. still its no way near as fun as vesperia.
Beta, real? You know a full game can't possibly be considered a beta right?
I know sankaku is full of man children who are crying that they want the 360 games on there PS3 but refuse to just get a 360 to play them anyway but you could atleast respect that the 360 can't be that bad if your wanting all it's fucking games dipshit. Enhanced story? Delluding yourself. Scenario? Maybe additional scenarios but they won't be as well done as the main content(look at TOV PS3 where it's a loli pirate and a beach scene). I'm not trolling cos PS3 version will be better but realistically if you like the game on PS3 then you should like it on 360 too unless your a dumb blind fanboy.
And playing a game isn't hard work unless your a PS3 fanboy trying to find a game to play that hasn't come from the 360 or it has and you need to try and justify why it's now good so you can play it (even though 98% - 99% of the content will be the same).
I know sankaku is full of man children who are crying that they want the 360 games on there PS3 but refuse to just get a 360 to play them anyway but you could atleast respect that the 360 can't be that bad if your wanting all it's fucking games dipshit

1 exclusive down > Over 9000 to go
Fuck yeah 3sexxy!
I know sankaku is full of man children who dont own any console but just prefer to flame anyway.
"...reimi's (SHINY) ass."
Need to agree :3
That's why its on 360 first... so that they can fix it for PS3 later... :)
Fucking gay.
ffs i went and got a shitbox specifically for SO4. Now wtf am I going to do with it.......
Sell it and get a ps3.
Yeah that's what I will do. Screw you, MS. I'm sick of this exclusive shit.
You could go to various PS3 forums and post spoilers.
Nice idea, on my way to PS3forums
Spoiler Alert;
Snape kills Dumbledore.
you dont even own either ps3 or box right?
Cool. I thought I was the only one who got a 360 solely for SO4. Guess I might just do the same.
yeah sure.
NOBODY WOULD BUY EITHER THE PS3 OR 360 FOR THIS PIECE OF SHIT.
is this site ran by PS3 fanboys?
They are Japan fanboys which in turn PS3 fanboys.
arte himself is a ps3 fanboy.
Wow, That DOES explain a lot. And kind of sad, I was hoping for a journalistic, unbiased news site, but apparently this place is just another tabloid.
I wonder why do you expect "right" journalism on this (mainly) hentai site...
If the American release has the Japanese audio, I will be buying the game and a PS3 for sure. I love playing Eternal Sonata in Japanese with all the FUCKWIN voice actors and shit that game has good graphics really...
http://www.siliconera.com/2009/09/15/star-ocean-the-last-hope-international-is-extremely-import-friendly/
Confirmed that besides Japanese and English audio, text will be in English, French, and German.
PS3 owners get Japanese with English subtitles, 360 owners get only crappy English dub.
And even if it does not get released outside Japan, it will not matter since the the PS3 is region free unlike the region locked xbox 360.
PS3 BANZAI!!!!!
Might have to import this if this gets a different US release date.
If what they say will be happening,
fans have to think about importing again..
An International Version with european localizations means
less work for any distributors.
Longed for japanese Dub in SOTeT already;
but jap. Dub/ger. Sub? This news is quite awesome.
Thank you for posting. :)
I've played SOTeT unDub (Jap Voice+Eglish text) years ago.
U can still download it, just use google ^^
hmm...
Is it better to lose a title to a rival machine for a period of time or to lose the "exclusivity" of the title later.
Either way, I doubt this will cause as much fanboy flaming as vespiria simply because it didn't sell particularly well, so nobody really cares.
The only thing great about SO4 was Reimi's ass.
agreed
How can your forgot Meracle's labia?
....and wished Lemuri doesn't wear those baggy bloomers underneath her skirt.
what you played is the "BETA" version. we'll get the "REAL" one with fixing some minor problem enhanced story, scenario etc etc. Thanx for all your hardwork LOL
That's why PC/PS3 combo is the best. A lot of 360 'exclusives' end up on the PC anyways (Gears of War, Alan Wake, Conviction, Lost Planet 2, Viva Pinata, Mass Effect, etc).
And don't give me that PC is expensive bullshit. The price of your current PC + $300 is enough for a gaming rig that can play Crysis.
If they're on PC then they're not exclusive. You can atleast get them on consoles though so stuff like Kingdom under fire 2, Lost planet 2, Mass effect 2 etc. will be available unlike on PS3.
And it's not really that great that you can play some of the games if you've spent an extra $300 just to do it. It's like me saying I don't need PS3 cos 360 and PC get me all the games I need. 2 on 1 kind of puts that situation across.
Anyway there's tons of games not on PC like Gears 2 (no longer going on PC so expect gears 3 exclusive too) Forza 3, DOA4, Splinter cell, Lost odyssey, Halo wars, Halo reach, Halo 3, Fable 2, Blue dragon, Last remnant, perfect dark, KUF: circle of doom, Lips etc. Really the PC only gets the FPS for the most part (conviction is actually stated to be exclusive)
plus PC is expensive if you need an already payed for rig and then $300 extra and then a pad before you can play some of the games comfortably (wouldn't touch fighters like SF4 on a PC).
this is ps3 fanboy site anyway.
sony is best know for media manipulation skills. we dont know how many gk are in this site. sony even include spyware in their cds. sony fanboys are same as sony anyway.
jealousy jealousy jealoussssssssssy......
i own both console and enjoy both consoles. i loved fat princess and looking forward to ff14. i also love to play gears with my friends. i believe you are the one who dont even own any console u idiot and come here only to troll.
yea like you're not trolling you dumb faggot.
i comment after i played the game and own 2 console, fags like you dont even own a console and just come here to troll.
I don't care about it not being exclusive, they just better not do what they did with ToV and add loads of stuff
Cry some more.
Go fuck yourself
Hurray. We get a crappy, year old RPG. Can't wait.
lol 360 fanboys will start to HATE this game now after praising they had another jrpg. Sweet sweet tears.
lol At least the "inferior wanna be PC outadate 360" is screwing PS3 owners with FFXIII. Game got so gimped. Good one Microsoft.
I can honestly tell you that the game was shitty to start off with. Vesperia was a much better game on many levels.
The console world is fucked up...
Now this is the battle between BetaBox360 and PlayLeftover3.
Guess who will win?
Target changing is in the PS3 version.
yes it wont change anything about the game play.
it still suck the field is so unreasonably big you can run 10minutes just to reach the next destination. it wont change the fact the battle is boring.
vesperia is a buy but not so4.
Where did I say the game was any good or not?
in all your article regarding console, anything sony is good.
oh just stfu Xbox fanboy you're just barking of jealousy
oh just stfu sony fanboy you can go eat your leftovers
TOV more like a remake than your so called leftover. Doesn't change the possibilities for this one too "BETA" tester
woof woof
leftover foods are so damn delicious! woof woof
Sonyer.
Hey artefact, I'm a fan of 360, PS3 and Wii. You make this site suck when you troll everything that's not japanese. I know it's good for your self esteem but there all good consoles and anyone who is smart enough to play games rather than just ignore a console out of blind and unreasoned stupidity will find games to play rather than to miss out on.
Even if you don't like 360 just play the games you like on it (hell you'd have already played this if that was the case). I mean c'mon it's gotta suck just sitting around waiting for 360 games to come on PS3 to then have the JRPG you want to play.
Personally, I think it sucks even more realizing that significantly enhanced versions were just around the corner.
It must hurt to be a fan of these games.
i dont even think arte owns a ps3 yet he is trolling. well ps3 fanboy should go buy some more ps3 titles instead of trolling around. TOV developer called ps3 fan boy 外野(gaiya) when they trolled 2ch when tov was released in 360. and from there ps3 fanboy have a new title called 外野戦士(outsider warrior).

when will you morons realize that having "troll" articles like these (and stupid articles like "teacher gropes loli") generates traffic from idiots like you? it's not for self-esteem or fanboyism or any stupid shit like that.
thats a pretty reasonable explaination
This is why I never beat them when they're on xbox. It'll just be released in a superior version on PS3 anyway.
Put more ecchi scenes into the ps3 port please. I want to see myuria put her tits to good use.
best 360 jrpg in my books so fuck you
Hmm, glad PS3 owners are getting some more good JRPG from the 360, though Star Ocean 4 wasn't anything special on the 360 (English version), hope they make it better on the PS3.
Another game beta-tested on 360...
another leftover for ps3...
star ocean 4 is a great game, best jrpg on 360
People hating on it are one of the followings:
*Idiots
*Can't appreciate myuria's tities
*Have no love for reimi's ass
*360 fanboys who are pissed its coming to ps3 and have since discarded the game claiming it to be crap
* hate cats
* have bad taste in general
* are gay
* too dumb to realise that lymle is the shit, kay
I'd choose ToV over Star Ocean 4 anyday.
somebody did not play LO or BD or ToV
SO4 > Last Remnant nevertheless...but that's no accomplishment.
you didnt even play any of them right? Last remnant is fun if you understand the system. SO4, i dont know wats so fun of pressing rb and lb for countless times.
I've played LO and ToV and SO4 and I can tell you that ToV is easily the best followed by LO and then SO4 at the bottom.
You know I actually liked SO4 and so did my girlfriend. We both tried it and enjoyed it (rented off of lovefilm while we waited for a PS3 version since she wanted it for her PS3 and didn't want to buy it twice so I said she can have it) and I agree it's a good game. I love the combat, I like the graphics, I didn't really mind the dub and I just laughed at Lymle but seriously it's not the best JRPG on 360. TOV and Lost odyssey are quite a bit better.
I'm more worried your just a PS3 fanboy who likes it because it's coming on PS3. Hell you even say '360 fanboys who are pissed its coming to ps3 '. From that I can deduce you haven't played it and don't own a 360 so how would you even know it's good? Your a more clever troll than normal but most trolls are dumb and you've made a dumb mistake in your post that reveals your a dumb troll.
You forgot they love Master Chief's d!ck.
That's so true T.T'
Enjoy your Lymle, KAAAY?
Yay, another game that I never gave a damn about going to PS3, I am so angry. Rage...
who cares huh?
360 got Metal Gear Solid!!!! So PS3 fucking LOST!
It's not like it's exclusive or anything, so I don't see how PS3 lost at all. More specifically it's going to be Metal Gear Raiden, with unknown gameplay since it changed it's tagline Tactical Espionage Action to Bolt Lighting Action or whatever. I still look forward to it though since it's rumored it might play a bit like DMC.
Just because it wasn't ever stated to be exclusive doesn't mean it wasn't expected to be. Like the uproar FF13 caused even though they never stated it was an exclusive (I don't think) or devil may cry which pissed off a lot of Sony fans.
If Uncharted 3 went on 360 I'm sure we'd be surprised. It's like that in a way.
So MS got MGS rising, Devil may cry, Virtua fighter, Resident evil, Tekken etc. Hell it got Magna carta and SO4 technically since they'd have been expected on PS3.
I see it as 360 owners got to play a great game a year early and now PS3 owners are getting the Director's Cut a year later.
Honestly, had the 360 version also got SO4:I, Brickbox360 fans would still be butthurt that the PS3 is getting the game. There is no middle ground for fanboys.
Yeah, I bought a 360 for games like SO4, I'll get SO4:I when I buy a PS3. Both systems are super cheap now, so there isn't an excuse not to have both systems by the time SO4:I rolls out.
I Can't wait to hear all the features added for the PS3 version. If they fix targeting, add in some more sidequests and some optional fanservice outfits for the characters, I'll be satisfied. I didn't mind the English VAs since the Japanese ones are just as bad/good (depending on your "taste").
At least you won't have to swap disc endlessly if you want to fool around near the end... :)
I believe this title originally developed for PS3. If I'm the developer, I would avoid changing to previous disc... not to mention it can happen multiple times.
What I'm afraid is FF13 for PS3 will be compromised if they want to avoid this kind of stuff on the 360 version... basically closing some areas that can't fit in the last disc (with the result that those area are closed too in the PS3 version).
Hey, awesome! Maybe I'll give this a look whenever I get around to picking up a PS3.
well it's just another shity japanese role playing game for supermega otaku rofl. Who gives a shit...
ah poor 360 fanboy is sad
Here's a pity pat.
*Pat*
Since the beginning, Star Ocean IS indeed license under Sony, so i really don't see any betrayal whatsoever here cuz the title itself is a property of Sony back then.
Haha! Common idiot mistake is putting words into your mouth!
Awesome news.
I'm glad I waited out this console generation for so long, and only entered in August with a new PS3. I'm buying new and used Blu-Ray discs of "old" but definitive complete titles for chump change... I couldn't believe the amount of value I'm getting from Blu-Ray games compared to say, Blu-Ray movies (which are 50% more expensive where I live).
I've gotten Eternal Sonata (new for cheap!), Overlord Raising Hell, and soon Enchanted Arms (used). Plus I'll gladly pick up Vesperia and Star Ocean 4 in the future. Since the retailers know they are "old" games, they will be quick to discount the definitive editions like they did with Eternal Sonata.
I don't mind playing "old" JRPGs -- unlike FPS and online multiplayer games, they don't need a vibrant, active online community. These are single player games, so like books and literature, you can pick them out to consume at your leisure. And being able to play cheap 40+ hour RPGs is my definition of good value for money.
Just two months ago I would have picked up a 360 arcade to catch up on some JRPGs. But lo the tide has turned.
People who aren't poor own both systems and there for don't give a fuck.
THIS
those are flaming other consoles are the ones who dont own any of them. they flame just for the sake of flaming.
People who are poor own neither and therefore also don't give a fuck.
I was actually going to buy a 360 for this, but I guess this is the better solution.
RRoD 360 FAGS SURE GOT TOLD.
It's kinda sad that I knew that SO4 would eventually go to the PS3, but we'll see how this goes.
Wasn't this licensed under Sony in the first place? Betrayed it was not.
Hell, even OnionNewsNetwork made fun of Sony. "Sony releases new piece of shit", look it up on Youtube.
Why aren't my comments showing up? It's been an hour already.
Oh wow this comment showed up instantaneously.
Anyways, it's best to be a PS3-only owner this time around. You can get Eternal Sonata for cheap and I'm about to get Enchanted Arms and Cross Edge from the bargain bin (used). When you're playing single player JRPGs you don't need a full server to enjoy the experience unlike multiplayer games, so playing 1 and 2-year old games is fine. Plus all the free strategy guides (for the X360 version at least) have already been written.
RRoD 360 losing all its exclusive games.
IT'S OVER, RRoD 360 IS FINISHED.
OH LAWD, the massive butthurt already begun at gamefags RRoD 360 forums.
Good things come to those who wait.
I waited.
PS3 became cheap.
Xbox 360 games become available on machine which used to "have no games".
I win.
Who lost?
- PS3 early adopters: high price, no games
- Xbox 360 early adopters: RROD, beta versions of games
Good for you. Your point is?
His point was:
"Good things come to those who wait.

So are you fuckin blind or fuckin stupid?
That's it, I'll buy a PS3 for christmas.
LOL even if you get the privilege to be able to play it faster on Xbox if it weren't the finished product there are no full satisfaction for it.
Never play the xbox version --> play the PS3--> nothing to lose
play the xbox version only --> remember tov?
thanx pointed all the negative part of the game. They'll make sure to give it the best for PS3 version
No satisfaction in playing a good game? Clearly your more of a sony ball licker than a gamer but do what you do if it's what makes you happy.
Always play Xbox version if you want it early (or plan to get both) >>>> Play PS3 if you want to wait for more content >>> nothing to lose either way (as you either get it on 360 cheaper if and earlier if you wait for it to go down in price or you wait and get more content).
new myuria sex scene for ps3 plz
lol thats another RPG beta tested!!!! XD
360 owned again! PS3>lol360
This is great, much like what happened to MGS2 being ported over to the xbox with all those nice bonuses. It's now going in reverse!
With TWENTY-FIVE GIGS of space, I'd buy this if it has the options for Japanese and those characters back to the ORIGINAL pictures! Plus with that, the addition of having EVERY FUCKING "spoken" sequences fully SPOKEN.
But I'd also like the "skip" button if it gets too redundant.
What's with the "Square Enix having betrayed the Xbox 360 so flagrantly" part? I think I missed something somewhere. Also my $400 dvd player at least has a nice interface when it loads.
Sony's check is one of the main things I hate about the PS3 despite it being the better system. If they do to this game like they did to numerous others (X-blade) then we will have problems. It's thanks to sony's check that an English version of the Ikkitousen game was never released. The bureau who rates games gave it an M rating and because of that Sony and the company with the rights to the game decided to not do it. The game ratings and the MPAA are two of the most annoying factions in the united states and huge proponents against freedom of expression and speech.
The fact that thr Xbox has been constantly "betrayed" is no surprise. Considering both tales and star ocean were explicitly sony for quite a while it is no surprise that they would be released for the ps3. PS3 owners must wait longer but usually (exception of x-blade) get better quality. The PS3 is the better hardware. The games on it are lacking yes but it is slowly rising. The 360 is for quantity gaming where as the PS3 is for quality gaming. The 360 is a multiplayer platform where as the PS3 is single player. In the end trying to compare these two systems is like trying to compare the Wii to the PC they are two completely different systems. Each system caters a particular group of people. End the damn feud already.
I know sankaku is full of man children who are crying that they want the 360 games on there PS3 but refuse to just get a 360 to play them anyway but you could atleast respect that the 360 can't be that bad if your wanting all it's fucking games dipshit
1 exclusive down > Over 9000 to go
Fuck yeah 3sexxy!
Sony, you know you are retarded when you current-gen console is worse than your last gen console in terms of gaming.
There goes the prospect of purchasing a second console.
Now to import! ^_^
I played this on the 360 and it wasn't all that great.
360 is a better console because their are currently more eroge games on it than the PS3.
With this logic, PC is the best for gaming.
Nuff said.
well it is.
Old game is reeeeaaaally old...
Between this and Vesperia, Xboxfags sure got told.
PS3 owners that never played SO4 because they were too cheap/poor to also get a 360:
"Durr, Xbawks sux RRoD! Shitty JRPG nobody wants!"
Those same PS3 owners today knowing SO4 will be coming to PS3:
"WOOT! In your face suXbox Fanboys! LAWL 360 is the beta version!"
Xbox360 owners that played SO4 thinking it'd stay a 360 exclusive:
YEAH! It's exclusive to this system! Suck it PS3 owners!
Those same 360 owners today knowing SO4 will be coming to the PS3:
"HuurDuur! The game was crap anyway!"
...
Really? How much does Sony/Microsoft pay you little whores to be their cheerleaders?
This comment is particularly enlightening. I will probably copy it, touch it up according to each occasion, and reuse it. Thanks, Anon!
Yup . They're bitching when some title is exlusive for 360 . But after ps3 relaese all of them love it .
Played SO4 on the 360 and I have to say it was just an okay jrpg. The battle system is the only thing that shined with the storyline being its weakness and of course the English dub just killed the characters. Though it is great news the PS3 version plans to add dual audio.
Nuff said u fags!!
XBOX 360 or PS3, they're both great consoles whit different concepts, u just annoy me whit your stupid little comments, buy them both u broke mofo's, or don't play them at all!!
Freakin cheerleaders!!!
You're not getting any complaints about this one from me because they're allowing you to switch the voice track. SOLD!
And people didn't saw this coming, really? :P
Anyway i am sure there's new chars and new maps like the ToV version. Looks like 360 owners are really feeling the pinch now. Smart move by Sony and S-E there.
And god...the amount of PS and Xbot fanboys here....gosh >_>
I don't understand where people are getting the word "beta" from.The ps3 port's are exsacty the same game with added stuff.
Games like eternal sonata and ToV were great on both consels
There is no such thing as an exclusive unless first party developed. Get used to seeing this. Only benefit is that 360 owners get the games first and the PS3 owners get them with additions a year later. Sounds fair to me.
Only problem is this game is wank. Get Vesperia instead.
RRoD 360 FAGS STATUS: BUTTHURT & TOLD
SWEET that was one of the only things keeping me hesitant about getting a PS3
happyness!!!
Its too bad Star Ocean 4 is a crap game.
Only will buy if there is extra content added. ( ie, costumes, new areas, etc) Can't expect most fans to buy the game again, just for a voice track...
Most either said fuck it, or have the Japanese version.
ITT: Poor weeaboos that can't afford more than a PS3 and are butthurt about it.
What's that? Oh yeah, that's me playing every game out because I have a good PC, a 360, a PS3 and a Wii.
are you 12 years old or something?
duurhuur i haz moar toys dem u!1!!
it was a good RPG, it was ashame tho that Faize (3rd major member) turned out to be the final boss and died at the end =/
You may want to play the game again, Anon. =/
i hope they add some HCG
:P
Demanding alternated outfits like SO3..
...so I can peek on Lyme and Reimi's pantsu..
yes plz, i second this demand. will look forward to roast my ps3 like i did my ps2 playin too much of this.
How is Artifact trolling? You idiots troll yourselves. This is simply news. You should get over the fact that the PS3 is better than the Xbox360 (as a console). When it comes to games they both have their ups and downs.
Both of the consoles have their ups and downs, too. Not that a blind fanboy like you would notice.
this is why most ppl dont buy games on xbox360
"Most people don't buy games on xbox" eh?
Last time I checked, Halo alone sold way more than any PS3 game to date. PS3's best selling game is GTA, which also sold like hotcakes on the 360, so I have no idea where the fuck you're pulling this from, but if it isn't your ass, it's Artefact's.
*Sigh*
Video game industry has been going for quite a long time, as well as the practice of porting games to multiple consoles.
And even now I still see people who consider porting games is blasphemy and go mad over it. Things like this is why Artefact enjoys posting such news.
There is no real 'exclusive' game nowadays. Period.
nice!
thanks for porting this.
all jrpg that exist in x360 should also porting them to ps3 since i love jrpg
Artefact sure knows how to stir stupid console fanboy's raaaaaaaaage...*eats popcorn*
This is going to be interesting. For those Japanese gamers who bought 360 for their exclusive RPGs, now they got burnt, most likely they are not going to buy MS's next console.
Your right
Er..it was never said that SO4 would be a 360 exclusive.
I guess sonyfags will now say SO4 is the best RPG ever alongside Vesperia when both were mediocre at best.
I own a PS3, and I'd rather those fuckers make some more RPGs like Valkyria.
Artefact you are psfanboy to the core, with this kind of articles hahaha, well all the fanboys here are discussing about treason but the first treason was of SE to sony because final fantasy and star ocean were sony exclusive games, so what is the big deal that the game comes to ps3???
Will this version have the same shit CG art that affected the US release of the 360 version?
I hope with the "minor cosmetics changes"
they mean
You can switch between fugly and moe 2d portraits
this was never stated as a xbox 360 exclusive only a timed exclusive. keep with the program... duurrrrr
GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY!!! ^_-
LOL When was this ever a 360 exclusive? It was never such. It was only said to have been developed for 360 but was never stamped with the Only On Xbox logo. So I really don't get where the 360 has been 'betrayed' here. I think we all knew it would eventually go to PS3. The game itself is mediocre at best. Xbox owners have the fantastic MagnaCarta 2 anyway.
Im sooo glad I didnt buy this game! I knew they would probably release a superior version on the ps3 so Im glad I didnt waste my money on a lower quality version and I certainly dont intend to get a ps3 just to play it. Im more than happy to pass bcoz all Square Enix games tend to be terrible and this does not look like an exception.
Microsoft needs to pull out of Japan, seriously, its costing them more money trying to sell games in Otaku country than they make there. Everything it has to offer just doesn't appeal to the Japanese (its foreign and revolves around playing together for example).
This is good news, I thought Star ocean 3 was great, one of the best RPGs on the ps2, I will be getting this as soon as it comes on sale in the UK
