Star Ocean 4 the next RE4?

I'm a little worried that Star Ocean four might end up like Resident Evil 4. What I mean is how they initially decided to move the game to Gamecube because they felt the system was better and it would further realize their vision for the game. Unfortunately the game nearly tanked, and due to many requests, they released it on PS2 with special features and such. Now Star Ocean 4 is shifted to the Xbox 360 I'm not sure the exact reason though. But my worry is that they're going to release this game later on the PS3 with additional features such as new characters, quests and maybe even DLC. I highly think this game will be a 'timed release', they just won't admit to that. I'm going to get the game anyway but I just get that sinking feeling they're going to release a 'better' version on the PS3 6-8 months later.This does seem to be the trend with non first party 'exclusive' titles this generation. Star Ocean 4 the next RE4?
So4 will be agreat game and RE4 on the cube was an amazing game I have no idea what your talking about. Star Ocean 4 the next RE4?
Umm, no... RE4 was ultimate, Star Ocean 4 will prolly not be to related to it even though it will be preety good as well, but I don't see a relationship, soz
they had planned to come out w/ a re4 on ps2.. just on the cube first. and that was one of the greatest games of all time
I never said it was a bad game. What I said what that version came out first, then when it was released on another console it had extra features, even though the game as 'promised' to stay on one console. That's my concern about Star Ocean, but I guess this is to be expected this generation. Anytime a once exclusive game debutes on another console they add extra features to justify the purchase. But just don't want to get shafted buying it and then close to a year later a PS3 version comes out with features exclusive to that version like characters, quests...ect.Like I said I'm going to get it, but I just don't want to be denied any extra features which may or may not happen if the game is re-released on another system.
hey id get it on 360 just cuz it has achievements

maybe the extra content will be trophies once they get the bugs ironed out
It'll be awesome. As was RE4.
i hope so beating #3 felt like a chore
What a horrible example.

If I remember correctly, and I do, I was still managing Gamestop when Resident Evil 4 launched. And if I also am not to be mistaken, I vividly remember the game selling qutie well. Was it on the scale of Halo 2 or 3? No, but it was a hit nonetheless.

Granted, Star Ocean 3 wasn't the greatest game in the series...don't even get me started on the second disc, or how the freezing and glitching from SO2 carried over. But, I hope that SO4 is more like Second Story is IMO is far superior to Till the end of TIme.
Good call. I almost forgot what the original point of the thread was. :)

You're right, though. I've got high hopes for Star Ocean as well.
I really don't think you have to worry about it. This would be like turning a hotdog into a hamburger. Star Ocean's core fangroup are RPG players....not action/adventure which RE is. Besides, there have been articles written about SO4...its as RPG as its always been.

I could also care less about the added content.

Yes I know RE4 wasn't a flop on GC but they still put in on PS2 to push more unit that's the point I keep trying to make. Now there's no need to keep trying to turn this into a flame post. I was wrong and I admitted that, no need to keep beating a dead horse with endless quoting. The main topic here is Star Ocean 4...

SE have been not very forth coming on console exclusive details / news.

you do realize all game companies are in this for one reason, right? they want to make money. they need to make money. that's how they get to make more games. If they want to put out a game for more than one system, i see no problem with that.
I know that, I've seen it done quit a few times. My only issue is when they lock in exclusive features to another system, especially if you don't have that system. Not everyone owns all three consoles nor wants to. Money makes the world go round, that's the whole point of even charging for DLC in the first place. I also have no problem with multiplatform games, it lets people who don't have the particular system play. I just would like to have all those extra features for the game I pay $60 for. Yes I may be whining but I have a right to if I buy a game and some one else gets extra content I can't without buying another console.

that's like saying i bought this computer last month and now you guys just released new components for it that are better than mine. and did you really just say you have a right to whine? you don't like that another version of the game gets extra stuff, then don't buy the original.
I have to buy the original because I only have a 360. Well either way this will hopefully be a great game and they'll learn from the mistakes of part 3. I'd really like it they put back in all the private actions and little features from second story, like being able to shop in dungeons. Oh and I hope they retain the battle trophies, they were basically achievements, though that's a given anyway. I also wish they'd release some news on the status of the American hand held version of the SO2 remake. :( I've been dying to get that since it was released in Japan earlier this year.
