The Last Remnant may not get a PS3 release photo

I know you really, really wanted a copy of The Last Remnant for the PS3. Hey, don't make that face.

The original plan was for Square Enix's role-playing game to be released on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Now? Not so much. Two out of three isn't bad, right?

At a shareholder's meeting, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada expressed concern about the game's profitability. Also, the span of time between the release of the original version and this PS3 version may also have weighed in. And, of course, there's also the part about the game being kind of half-assed.

Kotaku reminds that they did not show The Last Remnant at E3 this year. I didn't miss it, and I'm sure you didn't either, but that's a pretty solid indicator that the game isn't coming out for PS3. We'll wait for the official word now. Sad, aren't you? You're not?

That's so beat. The main reason why it sucked on xb360 was technical. Also, the 360 has not been having much luck in this new generation of rpgs(last remnant, infinite undiscovert, enchant-arm, ninety night nights?)

Honestly, this is one game you won't miss, PS3 owners.

Fans of epic RPG's shouldn't feel like they've missed out on much.
I enjoyed the game on 360, but i'm an RPG whore.
Its by no means a bad game, but definately not a great one.

Quite frankly, I'd rather have Lost Odyssey.

I wouldn't say it's terrible (I played the PC version, which fixed some 360 performance isues), but it's certainly not worth getting tearful about not getting on PS3.

No tears from me. Demon's Souls and White Knight Story are coming along soon enough (tick tock, tick tock).

@trunxkam45: not much luck with RPGs? Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean, Eternal Sonata, FFXIII. I think they're doin ok.

And I actualyl really enjoyed the game. Some of the story may have been predictable (most JRPGs tend to be predictable nowadays), but I found the combat extremely fun. Almost endless possibilites of Unions and formations and strategies and attacks. Definetely one of the more complex ones out there. I installed it to my hard drive, so i never experienced the graphical issues others did.

I agree. I usually give all RPGs a chance, but I couldn't on this one. Its soooo bad. Rush Sykes is the DOUCHE of all douches. I honestly stopped playing the game because of him. When he kept being such a little prick around the king David or whoever and just kept going "ALRIGHT DAVE!" the combination of how stupid he was and the terrible voice acting made me flat out stop.

oh and the battle system was a convoluted mess.

I really enjoyed this game. It has unique fighting options and strats. I'm hoping SE uses the experience from making this to make a better game.

I also had no issues with graphics..

^I'm almost sure he meant GOOD rpgs. Lost Odyssey is the only decent one out of the bunch you mentioned.

I know who will be upset, famitsu readers in Japan. The ps3 version is still in very high ranking for new anticipated title.

Eh. As much as I would have preferred this on my PS3, I'll probably just buy it off Steam instead. I was mostly waiting for confirmation one way or another before buying it.

Eh.. the only Square Enix game I'm at all remotely interested in is the online FFXIV... and even then it depends on the monthly fee structure...

My only grip with this RPG is when I play an RPG, I like to grind and get all my people decked out and super strong. You CAN'T do this with last remnant! The game gets harder as you get stronger! Making some bosses insanely hard if you want to bring everyone to get XP. You end up making your amazing squad based game into 2 groups of 2-3 decent people so you can beat the game.

Game is a POS in my opinion and hope they don't even make anything ever like it again. Who makes RPGs scaled on how strong the player is! COME ON!

yeah screw you square. Although i probably wouldn't have picked this up anyway so maybe their decision is sound. Or maybe they should have released all three at the same time? oh wait they only do that when it profits the 360 (FFXIII)
