Bandai Namco Shamelessly Lied to Xbox Testers

I'm so angry.

I don't give a SHIT !

ONLY kids would cares.

This is like a movie: foreign console company with big $ lure a Japanese game company to help them out, at first the Japanese company didn't want to betray and help out foreigners more, but $ talks, so they agreed with the deal but keep the best part to themselves, or for the other Japanese console company. A foreigner can't fully understand or imagine the loyalty and "we are Japanese" mentality can be strong. I am glad that they do that secretly and fxxk up MS, and for the Japanese owners of 360, too bad, this is a valuable lesson to them not to buy/trust a foreign game console. Buy Japanese !

Arrrrrr...I'd like to swab her poop deck...

Honestly, I thought Karol was kind of annoying. So I'm not sure adding another tiny, obnoxious character to the mix is really a move in the right direction.

Maybe I'm way off base, but the loli pirate just seems... inexplicable and out of place to me. Now, if they had added an inexplicable, busty kunoichi character, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

But this? Pass.

You can bet your ass we'll NEVER see Magna Carta 2 on the PS3 after this debocle.It is also supposably a 360 exlusive in (Japan and NA at least)and only being published by Namco/Bandai, not developed by(Softmax is the developer).I seriously doubt even Namco Bandai would dare double cross MS again.

So anyone knows the contact address of Bandai Namco? Maybe I could ask to produce Idolm@ster for the PS3 then (yeah, I have a xbox360 too but I'm too pissed at all the "complete" versions right now and I don't feel like importing another 360)...

lmfao...i was pissed of once but i dont care im over it lol

Artefact, my psychic powers tell me that you bought the 360 version of ToV day one for full price, perhaps the ToV 360 bundle. And now after getting burnt crisp by PS3 version's Patty Fleur's ultra moe moeness, you just can't stop writing on this backstabbing.

I was refering to Artefact, THE ps3-console-boy who makes this shitty "news".

i'm an x360 & ps3 fan & namco bandai & both sony and microsoft can go fuck themselves cause when all is said & done, none of these companies give a fuck about the gamers, just the money they can get their greedy slimey hands on.
fuck you microsoft.
fuck you namco.
fuck you bandai.
fuck you sony.
fuck you fanboy, for not appreciating the other platform & being narrow-minded & stupid.

So, umm, does anyone remember Eternal Sonata? Also published by Namco Bandai? Originally released for the Xbox 360, then ported a year later to the PS3 with additional content?

Yeah.

Nah i'm seeing a different approach here, Artefact just wanted to flame the endless war of the nerds here between ps and xbox fanboys~ you little kids, entertaining the hell out of us! pfft~

Loli are everywere O.O
let's loli dominate the world and collective mind...
4fun LOL'I'

I do like hearing about news for Tales game since I'm admittedly a huge Tales fan, but really, we get the point now. There are things in the PS3 version not in the 360 version - things that were probably pre-planned. I think there's been enough articles just talking about the small little differences people notice and can RAAAAGE about. At this point I would rather hear news about whether or not the PS3 port will appear outside of Japan. I keep seeing articles on the PS3 vs. 360 version, but no article on how the American ToV voice actors were called back in to do some additional likes for Artes. It's just a rumor and people might just be getting their hopes up for nothing, but at least the console fanboy bashing should be slightly less. <-Me probably getting my hopes up.

This is how PS3 fanboys make it seem like their console has more games. They keep blabbering about exclusives that they stole from the 360. It really is quite stupid.

360 got Final Fantasy 13 and MGS5. How would you like it if I posted news about that everyday to make it seem like 360 is stealing ALL of PS3's exclusives.

Brooklyn RAGE!

Jesus fucking hell. As if it weren't bad enough that we're getting another daily dose of games news, it's OLD news. We're aware of it all, already! Bring back the damn fap galleries and bizarre news!

SCANDAL

PASSION

ALL-GIRL THREESOMES

At least one of these things makes for a day in the life at Namco Bandai!

and that is what Japan gets for buying an Xbox. Face it, nobody in Japan or Asia in that matter should ever get a XBox

Soooo seeing all the hype on this game...is this game play worthy? dont have either console but looking to get a ps3 though, since it is a sony!

microsofy need to learn not making jrpg exclusive, especially if it gains good reception of the beta version, for sure it'll come later in complete version in sony consoles. just stay with your exclusive fps shooting game, microsoft

loli FTW!

I downloaded the ps3 demo and was kinda shocked to notice the graphics are worse than the 360 version, the resolution is lower

wow, what a fucking disapointment.

see this dude

Yeah, a COMPLETE screen

Nuff said

I'm too busy laughing at you guys to rage. I love Namco Tales so much.

Ok, that's it. If I see one more biased ToV News the next time I visit this page has a reader less.

First of all:
The game is still the same good game 360 users had. If the final score is 94% on the 360 or 95% on the PS3 because of a few more gimmicks doesn't make that much of a difference in my eyes!

Apart from that: (Bandai) Namco has always ported their games to Sony platforms after a while with bonus features.
It's been the same with Tales of Symphonia. New Character, New attacks, etc.

And speaking of new characters, I don't understand all the fuss about Patty in the first place. Let's be honest:
Who would want her in the party anyway? I had a hard time decideing who to take with me the way it was already and Patty is probably the most unlikeable character to pick so what's the point of haveing her?

The story has been readjusted? Is that the Sony fanboy way of saying "some lines now involve Patty"?

"The game is fully voiced now?" Because the Sony fanboys can't read? All important dialogoues were voiced on the 360 already so what's left? NPC Dialogues? I'm sure that adds a lot...

Hell if Bandai Namco hadn't made these addidtions the game would have probably sold even worse than it did on the PS3.

YES I KNOW it outsold the 360 easyly but let us think about it for a moment: The PS3 has a much bigger installed hardware base in Japan and the previous Tales of games sold up to 500.000 in the first one or two weeks which means it TANKED pretty damn hard on the PS3 for a Tales game.

And last but not least these emo news posts from butthurt PS3 fans prove that Microsofts strategy pretty much worked in my eyes. PS3 fanboys are enraged about getting the game later, many bought a 360 for the game in japan and now those who didn't jump up and down like little monkeys because they got a loli character the pedos can fap to.

Conclusion:
Stop makeing these idiotic ToV news unless you want to lose readers and prove that Microsoft had quite the success with that (temporary) exclusivity deal!

And again: it isn't a beta by definition, but the exact opposite.

Beta means feature-complete, but buggy. The Xbox version was not feature-complete.

SUEEEEEEEEEE THEMMMM

I FUCKING SPENT 80 DOLLARS OF A SPECIAL EDITION OF A FUCKING BETA? oh no no no no theres a problem here.

this was the gayest Tales of game anyways.

Please oh please let this be a PS3 Exclusive .

Those XBox 360 users had there game but what about us PS3 users . We need some RPG love too you know .

people still talk about this? really?

Oh,fuck it.
press start...

Even though I have an Xbox, I'm so, so glad that I waited and thus not to have bought ToV now...

Microsoft paid Namco for the development costs for ToV, correct? Wouldn't that "technically" means they weren't paying for a timed exclusive? Obviously that's what they wanted, but I don't see how this was unfair or underhanded. How is this situation any different than paying a company like Mistwalker to make exclusive games for a certain system, like putting in a commission? This is certainly within the rules of the gaming industry or any industry so.. what am I not getting here?

Actually nevermind, forgot about the convenient absence of logic when it comes to fanboy arguments.

On a side note: I hope the PS3 version comes to the US.

This is one of those times when it is actually a good idea to sue Bandai Namco, I mean, it was Microsoft money, even if the "exclusivity" was limited to a Beta.

I cant wait till this game releases so Sanakaku can stop posting these frequent trolling fanboy articles.

Of course they will move on to something else like SO4 now but the Tales shit is getting old.

I could care less about what console the game is on. I own both consoles, and I already own this game on 360.

And I enjoyed it alot when it came out, because it is a great game.

And, after a whole year, Namco makes an even better version that I have the OPTION to buy, with LOTS of extra content. And you know what? I actually want that content.

And I don't even care what system its on. They could leave it on the PS3, they could make a DC Xbox 360 version, what ever, I don't care. I just want the new content in some way or another, to come out in North America (and I think Europe should get it too).

That's all I want, and English translation of the new content, in any form, just so I can enjoy the best version of this game that I already like. I'd be happy to pay full price just to get it.

Its too bad we have these annoying fanboys trolling each other instead of everyone using their f*cking brains and e-mailing Namco asking politely to bring over the new content.

Its also too bad that Namco most likely has no intention of bringing this new content over. So unfortunately, looks like most of us that want the new version are going to be stuck using walkthroughs off the internet because we will have no other way to play the game.

LOL i remembered that room... haha :P

Will get the PS3 version when it's released in English ;)

Seeing how much the PS3 fanboys writeing these articles keep going on about the same subject (an unsympathic loli character nobody really cares about) actually shows how well M$ strategy worked and how butthurt they are that it was released on the 360 first.

YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT BETA MEANS

THIS IS BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY

STICK TO SHIT YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT INSTEAD OF SPAMMING BULLSHIT WITH NO PURPOSE BESIDES ANGERING IGNORANT FANBOYS
(YOU KNOW, STUFF LIKE TEACHERS RAPING THEIR STUDENTS)

Another day, another Vesperia article.

Is anyone surprised by this? Namco hates Americans, or at least their Tales Studios hates Americans. I find it to be absolutely NO shock at all that Namco would willfully produce an inferior/incomplete version of a fully planned game for an American system, then turn around and use the money that American company had given them to produce the game to "finish" it & release it on a "glorious" Japanese console once exclusivity time ran out.

I'd also like to bet that the finished PS3 version will never be released in America, just to piss off American players and preserve the integrity of their "perfect Japanese game".

Faggots.

Shit just got real.

Also Japanese are real cool guys they accept Microsoft money placing betas on the 360 and they don't afraid of anything.

Wow too much news about Tales of Vesperia.

Who likes Patty?

The wheel of hate is turning!

Placate irate testers... um, why? I mean, they're Xbox owners, they don't have a future in Elevenland so they can be ignored.
