With the news that the additions planned for the long-awaited PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia appear to have been present from the start, Bandai have been accused of betraying Xbox owners with the “exclusive” nature of the game’s Xbox release.
They recently issued an explicit denial that there were any traces of the new features in the original game, especially the new character. Fans are less than convinced…
This evidence is rather stronger than the lingering traces of pirate loli Patty present in the code:
“In the drawer is a girl’s pirate hat. A name is written on it, but it is well worn and barely legible. ‘Pa-…’?”
Bandai’s response:
“There certainly was such a scene, but it wasn’t Patty.” It “was nothing like” any sort of cut story or otherwise.
Being a PR flack is a difficult job at the best of times…
Some Xbox owners have already vascillated:

Hey, Left4Dead.
Awesome game.
Indeed, xbox owners should just be content with an awesome game that the ps3 may never have

Wasn't it said there was going to be a PS3 version? Or do you believe they will pull the Haruhi trick?
Umm... I believe Echo meant L4D, you know...
The fuck would you play this on the 360, let alone with a gamepad?
PC and Steam FTW.
Game's pretty fun on the computer with a controller and split screen. The real trick though is hooking yourself into a live account and playing with a mouse and keyboard with all the gamepad users and kicking the crap out of them in versus.
I, too, express bemusement at the thought of playing L4D on console.
How about Ace Combat ?
pwned......
Playstation 2 on plate :P
rofl it does look like PS2 XD
is that a diskdrive I see on the computer in the background?
sheesh... those things still exist?
I still have a floppy drive :3
They are oddly useful every once in a millenia.
That looks like either a tape drive used for backup or an MO drive.
BAKAMONOME! Do you not know anything?
Zip drive is the way to go.
i say buy the 360 version and not bother with the ps3 version. if you buy it, your letting bandai win.
Why buy it at all?
exactly, if you buy the game at all bandai wins.
HAHAHAHA
NO
Bandai already won every time someone bought the 360 version. Suckers. Serves them right for sucking Microsoft's dick. Sony's dick tastes much better.
well then, have fun sucking a dick you homophobe... This anon wonders why you made such a homosexual comment that made you look like a fag.
That's not homophobia since he seems to want to suck it.
The homophobe is YOU!
*slurp*slurp*slurp*
Sony is female. She has a pussy.
I shall buy the PS3 version, who said I don't want bandai to win
Get over it X360. Microsoft paid "GOD LOADS of MONEY" to get a “Exclusive” title just to sell units in Japan and careless for Bandai. Bandai knew it was going to make the game for PS3 anyways but also knew Sony wasn't gone pay "GOD LOADS of MONEY" for it. Sorry to say it but everybody is the gamemaker world loved getting free money from X360. Half the "Exclusive" are now going to PS3 plus the add-on. X360, R&D for PS3.
Sorry to bother, but in the second paragraph, you wrote "They recently explicitly denied they was any kind of trace of the new features, "
denied THEY was ?
Fixed.
oh who cares about small typos. Like anyone cares. Fix the error in your mind and move on....
internet english teachers...pathetic
I care and I daresay I am in good company. He or she was pointing it out politely, so what are you getting so worked up about? It's not as if a huge effort is required to fix the typo.
fucking grammar nazis.
its fucking annoying go fuck a wall.
I care because I would like to ensure all material here is in perfect English.
The only reason anyone would complain about 'grammar nazis' is if they had shit knowledge of the English language themselves. A lot of people prefer the things they've put effort into writing to remain error-free.
Typing in proper case, using correct spelling and punctuation makes you seem like a more reliable source of information.
Using all lower case letters, misspelling words, and making errors like "your" instead of "you're", makes you seem like a 9-year-old kid.
This is not an opinion -- this is fact. If your résumé is full of mistakes, do you think the company will hire you? That is, a company other than McDonald's? The answer is "no", so go ahead and practice typing properly now, rather than having to break bad habits later in life.

Geez, people are still going on about this?
If it's in the code already it's either laziness from Bandai-Namco or the possibility of DLC once the PS3 version has run its course.
Either way, if it makes anyone feel better, the games not even that good. Already completed and traded in. Eternal Sonata was better if you're after moe anime style graphics.
"They recently explicitly denied they was any kind of trace of the new features"
"They recently explicitly denied they"
They... explicitly denied they"
lol wut?
So much rage over a child pirate...
The power of little girls who think there pirates is increadbly powerful, it is not to be mistaken
FEAR AND LOVE LOLI PIRATES!! ARRRRRRR!!!
if you were to pit it against a loli ninja...
i can picture it now. XD
Wish the new character was anything but a loli-pirate... my tastes somehow can't abide pirates. Here's hoping for a goth-loli costume.
Give me loli or give me death!
I will unmake you!
That's hiragana though. I don't know how the JP would normally interpret something that's incomplete, but wouldn't it need to be at least matching by character?
Oh who gives a fuck. Remember all the "exclusive" games on the PS2 that the exbawkz finally got six to twelve months after? They were loaded with extra features, that is kind of the point when you release a game that already existed on another console for forever.
1.) Please stop acting like a black(?) guy, mr.white guy, your degrading yourself and other white foke
2.) I dont remember any exclusive games on the PS2 that got xbox upgrades, and ive had both systems and shit loads of games for both
Because swearing is totally exclusive to blacks. Is this some social experiment where you type whatever comes out of your head and hope it forms a coherent sentence, or are you functionally retarded?
I say the latter one, hmmmyes.
It's an analogy:
Black guys = SONY Fanboys
White guys = XBOX Fanboys
Cause PS3 is black, 360 is white.
I like the "?" after black. It's like you aren't even sure what the fuck you are talking about.
is anyone ever sure what they're fucking talking about?
Is anyone ever sure what they're fucking?
Thats the dumbest thing I have ever read.
Everyone knows that only Blacks play Xbox and that only Asians play Playstations. Whites stick to Nintendo Handhelds, becuase the only games worth playing are on those.
Can you name 5 Xbox games with added content that sold over 500K then? If you can, mention what was added.
