Wow, it's like devs aren't even trying anymore when it comes to co-op.
Why bother?
Holy fuck. I remember saying how good his art would look on this engine. Fucking goosebumps.Gorgeous Amano artwork.
No Xbox versions for this SKU 'cause of the deal Sony has with Ubisoft?
Yep, it's a great way of keeping your customers loyal. It's less likely for someone to switch to the Xbox One when he already owns PS4 games.Cross-buy for PS3/PS4 games really should be the norm going forward. While I have a PS4 and will be playing only on that platform, some of my friends are reluctant to buy cross-gen games on PS3/360 because they don't like the idea of not being able to play it on PS4/Xbox One, should they not finish it (or even start it) in time for them getting their new system sometime this year. Their rationale is they'd rather wait and get the next-gen version later in the year when it's a bit cheaper and they have their new console.
This kind of deal is good value for them. Not sure how good value it is for Ubisoft, but I'd assume that 1) very few people would buy the PS3/PS4 versions separately, so they're not losing much (if any) cash, and 2) anyone who was going to hold off buying this until they bought a next-gen console will more likely go ahead and grab this now they know their purchase will follow them to their new console.
At any rate, I'm glad they're doing it. I've been keeping an eye on this game for a while, and I'm actually pretty excited for it. May even grab the Deluxe Edition if it's nicely priced.
EMEA?

Is it clear yet if this was Ubisoft's or Sony's doing? Because it would make more sense if it was Sony paying Ubisoft a little extra and getting crossbuy in return..
Cross buy is the single greatest thing to happen in gaming for quite some time and it's a damn shame that MS aren't embracing it...
wait...
I could have sworn they debuted this by showing turn based combat engagements...

But there is turn-based battles.
There are, this trailer just didn't show them.
Oooh nice nice.
God it looks so beautiful. Sort of wished it would end up on vita because of that OLED.

Really? I mean, I can see the benefit on Vita but what's the point of having it on PS3 and PS4?
It's nice to know that I can buy a game now, play it on my PS3, and later, when I buy a PS4, have the option to download a better version of that game at no extra cost.Really? I mean, I can see the benefit on Vita but what's the point of having it on PS3 and PS4?
But hey man, they gave you $10 off Halo:SA if you bought it on Windows 8, that's the same thing!!!

I got excited till they said ps3/ps4 no point having it on both unless the game.is.amazing and warrants 2 trophy lists
Hehe. MS really need to get off their ass and look into this.
The funny thing is that the battle system itself seems like a homage to Grandia's IP Gauge system.This looks good but didn't the developers say they were inspired by games like Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger? I don't see any of that here.
Physical box, but download code sadly...There's physical edition? Awesome! This was on my radar before, but now it's 100% mine.

Wonder if there'll be a noticeable upgrade from Wii U -> PS4. Wii U is my preferred platform but if the PS4 version is better I want that one. Hopefully we get a Digital Foundry analysis.
