GDC 09: Square Enix silent on Last Remnant's PS3 version

The Last Remnant - Image 1I hope nobody here's planning on holding their breath until The Last Remnant (PS3, Xbox 360) finally hits the Sony PlayStation 3, because if this report's any indication, we may not be seeing that game for a long time. If at all.

According to Wired's Chris Kohler, Square Enix's Hiroshi Takai said during GDC that he can't say anything about The Last Remnant's PS3 version.

Now that statement by itself doesn't really say anything, but think about it in the context of this conversation, copied verbatim from Kohler's Wired blog post (the "I" refers to Kohler):

"The Last Remnant," I said, "was originally announced to be Square Enix's first multi-platform game. But the PlayStation 3 version hasn't come out yet. Is it still happening?"


Silence.


No one wants to speak. Finally, someone ventures: "Well, the PC version came out this week."


Me: "Yes, it did."


More silence. Everyone's kind of glancing around.


Takai: "Well, as for the PS3 version, I can't say anything about that."


Me: "Alright, then."


Maybe I'm being to pessimistic here, but that definitely doesn't sound too promising.

i dont see why they are not supporting the ps3 with games when they would sell 10X more than on the 360



hopefully when FF13 comes it will change there minds, if that doesnt sell over 1m close to 2m in its first week in japan ill eat my hat

# Its really not worth itdustinfoley 2009-03-26 00:52
So I bought this on the PC and I must say was extremly disappointed, It suffers from all the things xbox 360 games suffer from.



The main complaint was it is so rediculously short. Litterally the main story can be finished in about 4 hours. You get to "disk 2" in about 1 hr 30 minutes if you skip all the side quests.



Needless to say I was hoping for a true 40 hour game, not one thats only 40 hours IF I do EVERY side quest.



Unless the ps3 comes with all the extras the PC version came with, I wont be getting it, because with out the square enix name, this game would have gotten lower then the 6/10 it scored at most sites.

damn, they could just announce the exclusivity to 360/PC finally, everybody know this won't come to PS3. Stop teasing the PS3 owners.



Besides, the game's not really worth it. I downloaded the game for PC, ( YES I pirated the game, I don't support filthy money-hungry bastards like Squeenix, at least not anymore) and it's still buggy. On top of that, the game was way too short and the graphics could have been much better, even on max settings.

# square enix suckssickofitall 2009-03-26 06:03
the reason that no ps3 games have came out yet from SE is because all of their games this gen have sucked. These games would be an embarrasement on the ps3 anyway.

My opinion is that since the game has already been rated not-so-well, SE probably thinks that development effort on the PS3 version might not be worth its while. Of course, much of the criticisms had to do with technical drawbacks. And if SE had any sense, they would try to correct that in the PS3 version and redeem themselves and their game.



But oh well, a company which accepts bribes to delay a version that is already complete (PS3) for MS's money, is probably not too concerned about quality - as long as MS keeps sending those bags of money!

There never was a 40 hour game to begin with.



Even all the Final Fantasy series, each title averages from 5 - 9 hours clocked with speed runs. All games that says 40 hours, 50 hours, 3000 hours mean you have to complete each and every corner stones.
