I thought Star Ocean: The Last Hope was a pretty solid entry in the JRPG genre, and I have to admit I did enjoy playing an RPG in a space setting rather than the usual modern fantasy universe. The game was 360 only though, leaving out PS3 owners who wanted to play it -- at least, up until now.
Gamefly has leaked many a game because of their listings, and this time it's Star Ocean: The Last Hope for the PS3 that they have something up for. There's no info beyond this, and it's far from an actual confirmation, but it does makeme wonder if this is something we could see in the near future. Would you pick it up if this was indeed true?

The only saving grace was the combat, but that wasn't fun enough to justify lame dungeons, and possibly the worst story I've ever experienced in a game.
The PS3 has more room on the disc as well, so add some stuff to it!
I don't own a RROD360, never will. I can play my older PS2 with no problems years later. With the RROD360 let it sit and it might explode in the closet! :P
It sure won't be useable or reliable after a few years.
The XBox360 is the Yugo/Chevy Vega of the gaming world!
A year or more later PS3/X360 owners have already been done with their game anyway.
@Midgetsnowstorm
Nope all my PS units work like new and I take care of them. They all look like they just came out of the factory box.
My big gripe with XBox is it's totally unreliable. They have some decent games but that's useless if the console is always breaking down.
Besides many games end up on all systems anyway. :D
I finally had to quit the game just because it was becoming a chore to sit through the horrible dialogue. When I actually want my characters to die because they're that infuriating, there's a problem.
Next time, why don't you think before clogging the Internet with your stupid?
@Necros - I still remember when Vampire Rain was announced as coming to the PS3 with bonus content, and the comments section on GameTrailers was along the lines of "LOLZ MS LOZES ANUTHER EXKLUSIV SONY ROX!", while everyone else shrugged and said "You want it? Take it!".
I don't know what it is with die-hard fanatics or where their reasoning is, but it's like they're happy with anything.
Then again, I'm still disappointed that Valkyria Chronicles isn't getting ported to 360 anytime soon. That's a game I really do want to play, as well as inFamous and M4G.
Exclusives are a concept that is never good for the consumer. It's basically limiting who gets to play a game, so it's always a good thing when another console's audience gets to play the game. However, by adding in additional content to that new release that is exclusive to the new release, that is in essence punishing the fans who not only bought the game in the first place, but might even have helped provide evidence that further sales would be possible. Publishers realize that unlike with new, special edition DVDs, few gamers will "double-dip" with their purchases, buying it again for very little new content, so it would be much more appreciative to the gamers who helped them out in the first place to make this content available to their original console. For an example of this done right, see Overlord 1 - the PS3 version included the expansion pack, which was also made available for download to the 360 owners who supported the game in the first place.
What you're advocating is exclusive game content just so fanboys can argue that they have the better game, something that simply leads to more internet stupidity.
MS pouring money for exclusives isn't really a great thing for developers. Take Tecmo for example. They made half-baked Ninja Gaiden 2 exclusively to 360 and year or so later they turn it into 'new game', Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, which has everything NG2 should have.
Also, kaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy????????
PS3 owners ain't missing much.
While I admit its sucks for the other side when the other console gets content for a game they bought you can't show up to the party a year later empty handed and expect sales, you gotta offer some sort of enticement.
if this true and this will appear sometime in the near future it would be staring down demon souls, something that's making its rounds in the rpg forums as of late.this title also got bashed for being bad and did not even sell well in japan(someplace it was expected to fly off shelves) so its rep is somewhat damaged and the hype is gone, and then its gonna appear at full price 10 months later( I'm guessing) with litttle to nothing to differentiate it from the 19.99 used copy thats probably sitting across from it (thanks to gamestop) as eternal sonata proved thats called "sinking this ship before it even departed".
so no its not just for fanboys, if they want this to sell they have to do something to rejuvinate it, they have to offer something that the other side wont get or else they risk it being ignored for another game altogether making the effort put into the port a waste of time.
I want to play Lost Odyssey dang it!
Yea no, perhaps they aren't the most reliable console in the world but they are not unreliable, you make it sound like it breaks down just by looking at it.
Will watch this with Interest if it's true.
Pedrovay: My Cross Edge says "Only on Playstation" :P
Kyousuke Nanbu: Unreliable isn't an unfair word to describe it. There are no real symptoms of a Red Ring, so there's no way of pre-empting it. An error so common with no symptoms before hand is "Unreliable".
Hint: Just because a system breaks down does not mean "omg they didnt taek care uf it"
