A Fantasy Announcement

Sunday, 20. July 2008, 14:01:19

The story behind this screenshot is that someone at Microsoft pulled off a master stroke. Sony had one real core exclusive left to release for their PS3 - Final Fantasy XIII. But someone at Microsoft managed to drop enough money to guarantee a simultaneous release of the game on their Xbox 360.

It was Final Fantasy that got me back into gaming after nine years not bothering with it. Shortly after Kim and I got together we bought a Playstation, mostly for Kim to have something to do when I was at work and she had come home from training. When she first started playing Final Fantasy 9 I glanced up from dinner and couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen. Such lush cartoon graphics, a quite deep combat and skills system, so many quests. It reached out to me and pretty soon I was remembering elements and helping Kim come up with strategies for bosses. With a little encouragement I started playing myself when she bought number 8. Ever since then I've been hooked. I was even considering buying a PS3 just for Final Fantasy XIII, but this announcement means I wont have to shell out over £250 on a console just for the one game I want.

The guy in the image is just being a typical melodramatic fanboy. So what if the game is appearing on a different console to his? It's still appearing on the one he owns. There's been no betrayal anywhere. Yet again on this page we see the results of someone with Aspergers thinking the world should revolve around them because of their problems, and looking like a completely selfish and childish twat.

Is the screenshot a blog post of some sort?

It looks like a forum post to me.

If the game is appearing on his console then I really don't see the betrayal he keeps going on about. :confused:

Forum posting I believe. It just pissed me off that this guy sees the world as a conspiracy theory simply because he's not one of the special ones who gets to lord it over others anymore.

I don't think I'll ever get into gaming again.. :rolleyes: still have a chipped psx mind you.. :lol:

Wow, what a bizarre screenshot. You'd think he was reacting to his mum having an affair or something.

I haven't played a game for ages awww. Last thing I tried was The World Ends With You on the DS, which is pretty weird.

Oh, not sure if I sent you the link. GTA4's been confirmed as in development for PC. Thought you'd like to know.

theoddbod 20. July 2008, 23:07

No link, but I've seen rumours of an October/November release. Still nothing official from Rockstar that I can see.

Some pranksters ran a hit on a tech support website for Rockstar. I think they were complaining that the Xbox 360 version was crashing their PC. :rolleyes: Anyway, they got confirmation that a PC version is in development during it.
