The furor surrounding the Xbox 360 beta version of Tales of Vesperia refuses to abate, with the Namco developers responsible pouring oil onto the flames by thanking the “players” for their contributions in allowing a better PS3 version…
The interview was published in the official PS3 guidebook:
Provocative excerpts:
“Xbox 360 players often complained ‘why aren’t these parts voiced?’, so when making the PS3 version we first set about improving the voicing … As a result, the entire main scenario became fully voiced.”
“We’d be delighted if those who played the Xbox 360 version would play the PS3 version too. Of course the same goes for those playing for the first time.”
“We made a lot of changes we think Xbox 360 players would be sure to appreciate.”
“There are a lot of elements from the Xbox 360 version which were improved, so please give it a try.”
“Based on the feedback so kindly provided by Xbox 360 players, we added a lot of additional elements.”
Replace “Xbox 360” with “beta” and “players” with “testers” for full effect.
Doubtless they are also grateful to Microsoft for subsidising the beta in the first place…
i wish there was a web page that kept a full tally on one page of every time Namco, SE, and all like them pulled this crap
It’s official, Bandai-NAMCO are the biggest bastards in the game industry. Between the nickel and dime DLC-whoring and the acrobatics they pulled to screw over 360 customers, it would take a miracle for anyone else to make a sleazier name for themself.
Wow that was a bad move
XBox 360 users got PWNED
I love the comments section 😀
