Soul Calibur III ... PS2 exclusive?

Now that's just plain flamebait.
It's one thing to think that you have the corner on opinions when it comes to consoles but it's another to rip apart someones opinion and then piss on it. You disagree, great, but you don't have to think you have to win the argument since we don't even know that much about the game itself. jesus.

Actually those numbers are inaccurate. They're taken from different points in each games lifetime.

Here is my understanding of the situation, I've put the area that I've had to piece together in itallics:

Namco started SCIII for all systems, while planning a next-gen release as well. They were approached by one company (Nintendo) to release the game as an exclusive launch title for they're next gen system. Namco didn't want to give up a big name release for this year by delaying the game to a system that won't be out this year, nor throw away exsisting work. A comprimise was made. The PS2 would give Namco the quick sales this year, plus the longest window of sales overall (the system is going to sell longer than the other two), and not interfer with next-gen sales.
???

This sounds more like hopefull speculation than anything.

Whatever happened though, it must've happened very recently as just a few weeks back EA was expecting 4 SKUs and now there 1. :/

Hardly, it seems like there's always some jackass in every thread that simply doesn't stand down. At this point, I don't fucking care one way or the other, I just want him to shut up.

That only deserve to get in my ignore list. Trash like that is a waste for the eyes. Better let him suffer alone with his peers. And the irony is that God Of War is more polished and jag free than both Ninja gaiden and Resident Evil 4 combined...

More polished and jag free than RE4? I will give you the jag free part because I know RE4 was pretty jaggy, but polished? I would have to play GoW to see that. RE4 was the epitome of polish IMO.

The question is, will RE4 be jag free on the PS2? That's doubtful.

I just laugh. Seeing through that facade to the bitter disappointment that is behind it, does not require a psychology major.

There are a bunch of unannounced PS2 games (including some sequels that may be a surprise to some) that will show up at E3 that will beef up your list.
 
I think that Soul Calibur 3 being exclusive to PS2 is real. Look, Namco made the next tales game, Tales of Legendia, exclusive to PS2, anmd this was after a tales game on Gamecube selling well. I think Namco looking at one of two things. Either they see that the markets for both X-box and Gamecube ending, or they are looking at who controls the japanese market. I think alot of Japanese companies like, Sega, Capcom, Namco, and even Nintendo look at Japan first and the western market second. Even thought the wester market is bigger then Japan now.

I believe you Mana but could you slip just a lil' bit of info? I'm dying of curiosity!
 
ManaByte said:
I haven't heard anything about what Konami has for PS2 at E3 besides Castlevania, yet.

Damn, that wasn't the response I was wanting. :P So can you give a hint of who the exclusives are coming from?

One is from Capcom, and it's not RE4 (although that will be there).

Edit: My money is on Powerstone 3 or Street Fighter EX 4 (Capcom recently asked Arika to make another game in the series but Arika refused... it's possible Capcom found someone else to do it or they are doing it themselves).

I predict another game in the Chrono Trigger Series. It is near the end of the gen ^_^

That would really be awesome.
Also I wouldn't say no to a new Parasite Eve.A sequel to Vagrant is not feasible since Matsuno is busy with FF12.
Square Enix this generation has been such a let down considering all the amazing things it could have done :((

Most of the team that made CT and CC work with Namco now. But we could still see another Chrono game.

CC still has some of the best environments/towns in a rpg.
 
Capcom has Okami for PS2, but that's been know for a long while. I don't know if that's the game Manabyte is thinking about.

No, it's a sequel to an established series on the PS2 that I don't believe has even been hinted at (it may have been, but I don't surely don't remember. There are a bunch of big games for the PS2 this year.
