360 version of Armoured Core 4 CANCELLED! - Sep 04, 2006 19:08
Bastards!

From Software have announced that the 360 version of AC4 has been cancelled due to a " New contract with Sony making the game a PS3 exclusive."

It should be noted that Sony are producing the AC animated movie too.

I guess that after the 360 audience failed to respond to the pathetic Chromehounds (developed by the same studio and published by SEGA) they don' t think AC4 would sell.

The thing is, i was really looking forward to AC4, even after being disappointed by Chromehounds. I can obviously play it on PS3 (which i will now have to) but i was rather loking forward to playing it with Microsoft' s pad.

But previous AC games sucked ass, i don' t consider it much of a loss at all for the 360.

Damn.. I knew this yesterday... I thought no-one would care...

Yeah, I suppose, I didn' t really like Chromehounds... but it shows how wise
developers are, they know Sony fans will buy this kind of thing... The
reason FROM SOFTWARE gave was because the 360 architecture was:

" too complicated"



Ok... Now that you' ve spoken so much crap, and given us a crappy mech shooter
just confirm Otogi 3 or something...

The original Playstation games (there were 3 i think) kicked ass and then the first 2 Playstation 2 games were great. Then it went downhill for like 4 games. I hope 4 will take the series back to it' s roots.

Then again they haven' t eactly learnt from the mistakes. Chromehounds was rubbish!

Lol ... hahaha I can' t believe how tooth and nails this console wars thing is getting. I hate mecha games thats why I never got chromehounds however apparently they' re really popular in japan. Funny though ' ' exclusive contract' ' eh? ...things are gonna get nasty I think. Now I would definately be very surprised if dmc went 360.

Neither do I but the thing is I expected if sony is bothered by the 360' s library they would need to hit harder than taking away armoured core. So far to me the main strike they made against the 360 was the exclusivity of vf5 and at the time assassins creed.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I think you' re missing my point...i' m well aware microsoft has taken but i' m implying if sony wants to make a dent they need to make better descions when it comes to games...then again considering they' ve been spending more time sorting after blu-ray movies for the end of the year why am I surprised about armoured core.

Sorry, but a controller which hurts your hands after any amount of play is definitely not the best controller ever. Sad though about armored core. I guess 360 gamers will now have to contend with only being able to play Dead Rising, PGR3, Gears of War, Unreal tournament 3, Lost Planet, Mass Effect, Resident Evil 5,Assassin' s Creed, etc... during their " Armored Core" less hours. What a loss.

The Saturn controller is the best controller without analog sticks.
The Gamecube controller is the best controller with analog sticks.
End of story.

The Saturn has the best d-pad. 360 has the best analog controller. The PS2 pad is horrible!

I know... I was so crushed I ran out of the house and nearly got run over by a travelling circus whilst weilding my 360 in one hand then the bearded lady made me see the brighter side.

" New contract with Sony making the game a PS3 exclusive."

I really couldn' t care less about AC4, but the fact that Sony is gaining an exclusive is news. I figured they' d be losing them all up untill launch.

i was gonna renew it but somehow it still has me down as gold still(even though to be honest I don' t really play much on live).

Cool, just roll with it untill they drop you back to silver.

i say this because i dident want them to jcak it up on the 360 like chrome hounds and ruin the game its would be hard to play armoured core with an 360 controller
lets see here, PS3 controller has...
-4 face buttons
-2 analog sticks,
-1 D-pad
-2 top buttons
-2 top triggers
-1 L3
-1 R3
-1 Home button

And the 360 has...
-4 face buttons
-2 analog sticks,
-1 D-pad
-2 top buttons
-2 top triggers
-1 L3
-1 R3
-1 Home button

Yeah, I can see how that' d shatter your gaming experience.


The 360 works a lot better for shooters.

Meh, it depends on what Sony does with their triggers. 360' s got an all-around better feel for their controller, but I like the pressure sensitive face buttons on Sony' s pad. (just one more reason MGS Twin Snakes didn' t work on a different pad )

Nope I never go to those carnivals...the only carnivals worth going to are the ones in the caribbean/south america everything outside is a crappy imitation in my opinion. Plus yea like you said for some reason loads of people go there strapped for whatever reason and it ( mostly) ends up turning into full scale war.

By the way playing ninja gaiden and so far i' m thinking ' ' How did I miss this game' ' . I accidentally picked up the normal one but i' m gonna get black tomorrow anyway so decided i' ll play this one since I have it. It' s very pretty for a last gen game.

It' s one of the best action/adventure games for last gen, even more so than
all the DMC' s.

The normal one is still fine, but Black is a whole lot better.

I' m not surprised you missed it considering you said (i think) that you' ve never
played Halo 2..

I have both halo and halo2 but thats was after a while. The time halo came out I think I was working a lot and studying so didn' t really have time to play anything (even though I was saving up for an xbox at the time). So yeah still havent played halo 2 but for some reason i' m really really interested in part 3 (don' t ask why). Anyway away from that i' ll probably wait till I get black tomorrow cos i think i' d be pretty pi**ed to go a way today and have to do it again tomorrow (been doing too much of that lately).
