PS3 exclusive? Ghey... I'd love to play some more Star Ocean, but not if I have to buy a PS3 to play it.
the closest I've ever come to playing star ocean was when I had a video demo of the game in a late 90's OPM demo disk in which an anime musical cutscene would play with a dude looking at bubbles of the girl on the boat and there was a lot of shimmery stuff. My sister and my future gay friend would dance around and sing to it.
we were 9 or 10, but geeze, I still have very vivid memories about this.
go figure.

Star Ocean 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. The possibility of taking it with me on a psp makes me care about my psp again.
While I really enjoyed Second Story, Till the the End of Time was a little bit of a let down. Hopefully this next installment will be another high point in the series.
So it's going to be the Oblivion of the Star Ocean series?
Less content than the game before it overall, but prettier?

It's not surprising that star ocean 4 with be a PS3 exclusive when you think about it. It's true that Square has been working for both sony and nintendo, but they are not multiplatforming, they are splitting their games between the two companies... I think most if not all of square's games coming out of days are exclusives; they are either exclusive to Nintendo or exclusive to Sony; no one game appears on both systems (with some exceptions, like remakes)
furtharmore, which company they make the game exclusive for depends on the style of the game and probably the target... more serious, epic games like FFXIII, Crisis Core, the FFT:remake, and apparently the latest star ocean games go to Sony; the target audience is older and the PS3 has great power which makes it better for serious graphics... Less serious and/or epic games like the FFTA2, FFXII:revelant wings, Crystal chronicles, and FFIII remake are not taken as seriously and are done in a superdeformed style; despite how serious some of the stories of the games are(FFIV), the super deformed style makes it more appealing for younger audience, and hence go with nintendo... Square treats nintndo like a kiddie console and sony like the big boys; Square's rather predictable at this point...

Man, one of my friends was obsessed with the PS2 one. It's all he would talk about. I never tried it just to piss him off.
Please at least be as good as, if not better than the second game. What were they thinking with the third one? :/
One of the reasons I have a PS3 is because it will have a wider range of genres with its exclusive games. Sure the 360 is trying to diversify from its "FPS only" image with Blue Dragon, but you need to have quality games come out and not try to rely on DBZ creator's rep only.
Star Ocean on the other hand I never really got into it anyway. My brother loved whichever one that was on the PS2 but I just couldn't get to starting a game for some reason.

Im happy about the PSP remakes although I could play then now if I wanted to 3.40OE-a FTW
But SO3 had the most terrible plot twist in RPG history. hopefully that mistake wont be made twice

Very exciting news. I've always been a big Star Ocean fan. If this game is a ps3 exclusive, then I'm trading in my 360 and wii for a ps3. I'm that big a fan. ...well, i probably wont go to that extreme, but this is the only series that I ever really let myself act like a fanboy about.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more jumping up and down like a giddy school girl to do.
Also, Dale North is now officially my favorite Destructoid writer. Thank you for this awesome new.

@Milofo: Have you even played Blue Dragon? (not the demo...as it is a horrible representation of the game unfortunately)
Can't say I'm psyched for this, damn near everything Enix pushed out last gen was complete shit, SO3 included with that horrible plot twist and Radiata Stories was just one massive corn covered turn in cd format.
