PS3 News \ Square Enix Prefer 360

Developer Hiroshi Takai has been qouted as saying :
"It's been the team's first time working with Xbox 360 and the Unreal Engine. In both cases the experience has been a positive one. In fact, as we've only just finished work on Last Remnant I don't even know what my next project is going to be at Square Enix. However, I'm very much hoping it'll be for Xbox 360 as it's been a lot easier to work with than PlayStation 3."

Ive always hated Square so any chance to flame them. They're the most over-rated developer in the world in my opinion and all they do is criticise those that have made them the most money.

Melbourne, Victoria - No, I don't have an XBOX 360, Wii, or any other console, so every game is a PS3 exclusive as far as I'm concerned.

Like it's been pointed out, it's just one guy on the team. Who knows what the other developers think.
Either way I won't be upset if any FF games are 360 exclusives. The 360 is cheaper now, so if I stop buying shoes I can get one.

I'm going to contradict myself now, but if (and that's a BIG if) they do decide to move on to develop exclusively for the 360 then it's kind of sad.
Sony have helped get Square and Final Fantasy to where they are now, but with some people loyalty counts for nothing, and money everything. That's business, I know.

Anyway, I have to admit I wasn't too fond of Final Fantasy 12. I don't know why. Just didn't really get into it.
If any of the new FF games are going to be like that for me then I probably won't bother (I loved FF10 ).

Its 1 guy dont worry he has no say in anything this is worse then Nomura saying he wants all his games on the ps3 but people seem too think this guy is more important lol he is only a developer he has no say and wow listen!!!



HE WORKED ON LAST REMNANT THAT PIECE OFF #$#% GAME I WOULDN'T WANT ON THE PS3 ANYWAY WORSE RPG EVER BY SQUARE

so who cares 360 can have the last remnant 2 for all i care wow a 5 out of 10 big lose for sony.

Gaetano said: It's not about being "slack". Whether you like it or not, development is a business. If a game is harder and takes longer to develop it's going to cost more money. This employee sees the 360 as an economical a logically better system to develop for, which isn't that shocking.

no, Peakon has hit the nail on the head, the 360 it IS a poor mans PC & the programmers are just lazy.
they're not making a better game, not breaking any new ground, they're simply taking the easy route, something programmers took prided in themselves (once upon a time?) for NOT doing.

In a way i hope it comes back to bite them on the arse, with the super low price on 360's and its massive security holes, it is definatly the "Pirates choice" at the moment. (i dont see it happening though)

not personally worried because i DONT like the FF series that much anyway

Well he should just say he prefers programming for a PC cause there is no special new technology in an xbox 360 its just a poor mans PC where the ps3 actually has new technology and is harder to program for. I'm getting sick of hearing developers say it takes longer to do on ps3. STOP BEING SLACK !

ok, A single employee at Square prefers working on the 360. That dose not mean that the whole company prefers the 360.

People are going to have there own opinions and it will have little to no effect on what platforms their future games will be developed for.
