by Torrence Davis

Podcast host is back up! Enjoy episode 19!

On this show we spent a lot of time discussing decisions made by Square and Namco to take popular franchises multiplatform. While it’s great news for gamers everywhere, we try and ponder why people got so upset about it. Also on this show:

- Rumor: EA in talks with Nvidia…hmmmm
- Torrence thinks there are more PS3 fanboys than 360 fanboys. We discuss why and debate it.
- Lost Odyssey and why this is the game diehard Final Fantasy fans should be playing right now
- We talk with Weapon X to try and understand the emotional attachment to a series like FF and it’s ties to the Playstation brand
- Torrence gives Darkpower some tips for his new blog
- and much much more!

Stumble it!

  1. I’m not mad about square’s decision to support Microsoft, but I am mad that square seems to be ignoring sony fans. I’ve got both consoles so it doesn’t really apply to me, it’s more of a moral thing. If you’re gonna go multiplatform make all the stuff equal. With their business decisions right now I think square is hurting themselves. I’m a bit annoyed about the Last Remnant as well, square is making it top priority to bring FF13 to 360 on the same day as PS3, but why are they releasing Last Remnant later on PS3?

  2. I hit enter on accident, i’m just saying that i think the playing field should be more even from third parties. If they wanna support micrisoft more power to them, they shouldn’t ignore those xbox owners, but they also shouldn’t ignore those ps3 owners.

  3. Slavedemonxi:

    It’s a money thing and Square is getting money from Microsoft just for timed exclusives.Final Fantasy was supposed to be an exclusive but they went multiplatform at the last minute.You know Microsoft looked at Sony and saw no rpg’s so they went that root to beat Sony to the punch.

  4. Well, it’s always about money, but I guess I think it should be even. I personally think square will lose potential ps3 sales from bringing it out late. That first week push may be lessened when it finally hits PS3. That’s why I believe they’re making poor business decisions. Personally I don’t really care if they’re bringing games to 360, my overall concern is just equality. What would be ideal to me is to see square release all of their games on both systems, and to see them release them on the same simultaneously. I see what you’re saying though Metal, it definitely sounds like it could be happening, but I can’t confirm what relationship square has with Microsoft.

  5. Great show and I love the long shows. I can’t really comment on much since the podcast was so long and I didn’t take notes to mark talking points.lol
    So I hope I can get into the next show. One love to The Bitbag.
    I do work but for the record I work for my self. LoL
    I post on the Bitbag while I’m out with my iPhone. So I want to be known as a hardcore supporter. I have been on many, many, many Blogs in my life time and even if it’s hard to believe this is the best the web has to offer for anything related to games, debates and fanboy-izms.LoL
    There are alot of sites that claim to break news but all I see is a link of a link of a link on many of those “OTHER” site.
    So instead of gettin into trouble on da streets and doin shit I ain’t supposed to be doin, I play games and write on blogs. I own almost every system dating back to the SEGA Maser System…One Love to The Bitbag fam.

  6. When every one figures out and finally come to terms with that this IS A BUSINESS , and that loyalty and all the bullshit that we think is important or we have feelings about don’t matter. then the better off we will be. These companies have no obligations to make games just for one consoles. They can move about and make games whenever they want. Its about whats going to make them the most money so they can make more games the next time. This day being on one platform does not help sales. Period. xbox users be happy you get final fantasy, ps3 users be happy you get last remnant. Quit bitching about when it comes out it gets here when it gets here, its not going to make the game any different at when it comes. If you only have a ps3 it don’t matter that you got a xbox game now because at first you wasn’t getting it. if you ony own a xbox it don’t matter that you are getting a ps3 game cause at first you wasn’t getting it. Stop bitching about bullshit and be happy you get to experience games that before you would not normally be able to play unless you shelled out an extra 300 to 400 bucks on another console to play it.

  7. Torrence:

    Damn Torrence that was an awesome voice for DARKPOWER and it is probably pretty accurate to as some of his comments do seem pretty stupid.

    Trying to remember back to the middle of that really long podcast about n4g fanboys I would have to partially disagree and agree at the same time.I feel there are much more 360 fanboys than ps3 fanboys bashing on n4g and the ps3 fanboys are generally more serious because the system costed 600 dollars and Sony was around longer so people got more attached to it.It just seems that most ps3 owners are adults because kids can’t afford it do to the high price.I feel the worst fanboys are 360 ones because no matter how u try to explain it they just won’t accept the fact that there is more than 1 system out there.Power of green and kiddybrownturd REALLY come to mind.To me they highlight what 360 fanboys are all about.They don’t accept that there are games on another system that they will want to play.The same can be said about ps3 fanboys but since I see so much comments from people like kiddybrownturd I feel they are worse.

  8. @METtAL-HEAD666

    If what you say is true about the ps3 fanboys being adults and 360 fanboys being more kids then I’m more forgiving of the 360 fanboys because as adults we shouldn’t be doing that kind of bullshit anyway. Thats why fanboy shit is so stupid its arguments, and stupid shit you would see elementary kids arguing about not adults. That’s why it needs to stop cause adults shouldn’t be acting like that and it is just a sad representation of the gaming community when adults act like that. Its just plain sad.

  9. torrens u are so right…madden is nottt the good at all
    for all u saying madden09 is “the best madden” or “madden is sooo much better than 2k”

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgKK1aDNYZM&feature=related

    proof madden is garbage…every year
    cant wait till backbreaker

  10. i cant watch this podcast at all

  11. Bullywithafully:

    Why do you think Sony fans are more serious about an exclusive?It’s because they stuck with Sony for 10 years and then became more attached to the console.If u look at 360 fanboy comments doesn’t it seem like they’re more immature?Aren’t elementary school kids and high school kids immature when it comes to a console?Or how about xbox live racism or stupidity?Do u see a pattern occuring?Damn I should do a study about that.Everything falls into place but I’m not willing to forgive kids and their fanboy comments just because their kids.They need to learn some respect.If people keep forgiving these kind of fanboys they won’t learn and it will just get worse.

    Bullywithaffuly u can’t just forgive them because their kids.People do that to much.How would u like a 13 year old talking shit about something u like?I could say how much I think rap sucks and takes no talent but I don’t.Rap just isn’t my thing.I just hope this site doesn’t turn into a new n4g.If I don’t like something I’m not going to bash it just because I don’t like it.All the kids that are posting fanboy comments need to be more mature.

  12. another reason why madden should just give up the licence

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNMl8LMwVJo

  13. i cant even watch it

  14. For a kid doing that its ok kids do stupid shit and the are allowed to make mistakes, not saying its ok, but for adults to get in a back and forth argument with kids on what console they prefer is just utter stupidity. Your online nothing you say to a kid is going to make them respect what you have to say. This is why being online takes maturity because there are no punishments and people can say any thing without repercussions. A kid knows this and is going to act in a way they wouldnt normally act in real life. When you ignore these kids and don’t respond they have nothing to fuel their stupidity with. As adults it shouldn’t even get to that point were we are arguing about how we spend our money. So for adults to get into stupid arguments like fanboys do is just uncalled for and is in no way shape in form acceptable. As an adult you should have more maturity then to argue with a child. Only thing you need to defend is your life and your family all that other shit is just stupid. the choice that you make is not going to be the right choice for someone else every one needs to accept that and move on. be happy with your choice don’t try to enforce or defend your choice cause if you truly are happy with your choice you don’t need to.

  15. why do so many people say that since the ps3 is higher only older people can buy one, it was only 100 dollars more than the 360 and all these people with on the internet that is xbox 360 fan boys they have xbox live and many games and other things that u need cost more than a ps3 so what are you talking about. there are more people with xbox 360s than ps3 so i know there is more mature gamers on 360

  16. i didnt say it was i was just stating that if what he was saying is true then that’s not an excuse that makes it even worse. to be an adult fanboy.

  17. neworlansvi

    I know there are adults out there with a 360 but i think there are more kids with them because it is easier for parents to pay for it rather than spend 600 dollars for a ps3.I’m not saying it’s true or isn’t true I just think that’s how it looks to me but u never know there could be more kids on ps3 too.

    Bullywithafully

    When in my comment did I give u the impression that I wasn’t being mature?I said I don’t like rap but if you do and u start talking about it im not going to start dissing it.Same thing goes for games.I know it’s stupid for adults to start dissing each others interests in games I never said it wasn’t but I don’t want to have to tolerate a bunch of 13 year old’s bashing something I like.More responsibility goes towards the adults but I still don’t want to put up with childish fanboy behavior.

  18. hey Torrence
    im new to the site
    on the podcast yall was talking about fanboys
    one thing i think yall got wrong
    you can not login with your name on N4G on your ps3

    great podcast keep it up

  19. oh by the way i have the retail copy of little big planet
    psn chase167
    i picked about 10 of the trophys so far
    more by the end of the nite

  20. good show now that it works.

  21. another awesome show man i love the longer shows it gives me something to listen when i’m getting ready for work or on the bus

  22. hey all, this is gameraxis…

    it pains me to hear weapon struggle with this question. In my opinion,

    i am not mad at square for releasing on 360, but the fact that sony owners need to now wait until the 360 version is done kinda pisses me off… and i agree with everything torrance said, “u still get to play it on the ps3″ totally true, so sorry to say it weapon but u are kinda a fanboy if u don’t want anyone else to have the chance… it coming out on the 360 had no affect on u physically, but it does emotionally and that’s where fanboyism is rooted, emotions…and feeling that way i might add is nothing wrong unless u act rash on its behalf… NOW why I don’t want ffv13 comming out on 360 is because i want to have bought my ps3 for a reason… say if i knew 360 would be getting these games ahead of time DMC4 etc etc etc… i may have bought the cheaper system… simple huh??

    GAME ON!!!
