This is a MAJOR issue for me. There are 3 games that I MUST have on PS3 and this is one of them (perhaps even the biggest out of the 3). If this does go 360 exclusive and MGS4 does go multi-plat, then I will have wasted £425. (The other game is Gran Turismo, and I doubt that will change as Sony make it!).

I thought Namco Bandai and Sony were supposed to be working together on games (didn't they set up a new company?). When I heard that news I thought Ace Combat would be a dead cert.

I have 2 days to get this confirmed or rubbished, and I really hope something is said.

BTW, people who take joy in consoles failing are complete idiots. There's no competition in the American sports game market, and look how shitty those games are. You like your video games like your government, centralized and all powerful. You're a bunch of slaves.

360 fanboys will take anything they can get. Honestly, who cares about Namco and their shit games? Pacman was nice, but who cares about anything else? I bet the majority of you aren't even playing your original systems at this point. Sad.

I for one don't care at all what system it'll be on - it's another Ace Combat game. It will be a new one, and will hopefully be better than the last one(which was better than the one before that, which was better....). That alone gives me a 41 ft. hard on.

reasons to buy a PlayStation 3: -1

What's next? Final Fantasy XIII / vs XIII? MGS 4? I heard rumors saying that with the White Engine, Square will be able to do ports of their games easily. If so, good bye PS3 VERY exclusives lol.

BTW AC6 looks very great and finally some online features :). I can't wait for the very predictable last mission, you know, the ones with narrow tunnels and missiles everywhere with a countdown to save the world while your "buddy" is chasing you because he's a spy for the other party lol :). I wonder if Fires of Liberation is a sequel/prequel of AC5 and AC0. It's mentionned no where in the scans, but again, my jap skills are lacking :s.

This is cool b/c I don't have a PS3, but it would be puzzling if PS3 didn't get an Ace Combat game. This is one of a very few games that could really benefit from the SIXAXIS. I just hope the motion controls on Heatseeker for Wii work well.

What is this....airgasm?...Sounds kind of like dry heaving..in your pants..painfull...

But dude, AC6 on the X360, nothing left to contribute but I have to speak out on how damn happy I am that I won't have to resign myself to the choice of either shelling out $600 or going without it. I love those games and I pass them around and get other people hooked on it.

@miwesagi: Not just you, the "Ace Combat" team did such a good just of using the analog buttons and the configuration of the PS2 controller that it gives you tons of functionality in one area as opposed to needing to mess with little knobs on the side and moving a hand to spin a wheel or pull a level. It may be closer to what a actuall pilot would use, but with the controller everythings already where your fingers are...and that Rumble...oh, that Rumble. You get some much information back from it. Imagine that, actual force feedback:)

To everyone saying stuff about the 360 not doing well in Japan all I have to say SSSOOOOOOO what.!
What does a Japanese game comming to the 360 in the US have to do with anything. The bottom line is the even if the games do bad in Japan that doesn't mean the game will do bad in sale on a global scale. let's say 10,000 copies sell in Japan right bad for Japan sales but in other parts of the worl the game could sell millions so how can either MS or Japanese companies complain. It's a win win for both parties. Now for PS3 the same will follow it will sell millions in Japan and only a few 100thousand in US either way SONY wins and the Japan companies win. It's all math not favorites when it comes to profits. I've to Japan also and if anything I got the impretion that the US sales mean alot to the Japanese game companies. Over 10 million 360's world wide and just a little over 1 million PS3's....! Oh by the way I own all three systems so it's no bother to me what comes out for any system.

Gagamus — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 10:49:48 MDT

Like Ive said in other stories, this is clearly NOT good for the PS3 and this is an obvious consequence of all of Sony's dumbass decisions coalescing to really haunt them. Almost every single big decision they made added cost to the box. They didnt cut back nor inject realism into the process till the very end. They cant even cost reduce this thing till 2008 at the earliest, which is the biggest reason why they're getting killed by Wii and X360. They just can't cut the price. And even at 600 dollars with free online play, people just dont get the "value" proposition that Sony is trying to make.

I really dont know what Sony can do to pull ahead. They've lost most of their best third party exclusives. They are still "firmwaring" basic functionality into their console, as shown by the 1.6 details. And as Ive pointed out before, what exact software calvary is there for Sony? Lair, The Getaway 3, Killzone 2, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk potentially could be there by the end of the year. But probably not. And 3 of those IP's are average at best. And then there's Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy and Tekken but they all might take their sweet sweet time to come out. It's going to be a real tough road for the PS3. And it just got tougher.

Sony is really going to have to rely on its in house support. They always make awesome games. God of War, SOCOM, Motorstorm, Resistance, Shadow of Colossus....

This reminds me of the N64 days, only this time the table is turned. They'll have their exclusives when they can sell enough consoles to make it financially justifiable for the developers.

I'll tell you one thing. Had I not already owned a 360 (and PS3), had I found out that the next Ace Combat is 360-exclusive, I would've bought a 360. I love those games. Really, I hope they make it multiplatform. Sony deserves at least that much for all the copies it ran for Namco in the last generation.

FiXXXerX — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 10:16:52 MDT

The 360 lineup just keeps getting better and better, and theres no stop in sight.

At the current rate games like MGS4 and FF will really have no choice but to go multiplatform. So really all we need to do is wait for the press-release about it. The reason for me thinking this way is due to the fact that there is NO WAY they can recoup the money that they've put into the development of these games. The PS3 just won't have the user base for it, no matter how much these companies love Sony they will have NO choice but to release on the 360 to make their money back.

11million vs 1.5million

Thats REAL simple math there

Combine that with all the benefits a developer gets by coming over into the MS camp in terms of Dev support, a solid Online component, and an easier system to program for. Who WOULDN'T want to release for the console?

@caleb - All the naysayers out there that write off the loss of these exclusives are simply trying to calm there souls... they churn like a Hurricane.

Interesting spin on this whole thing.

I still say Microsoft Monopoly! Put an end to it before it becomes even more of a disaster. This not only affects Sony, it also affects nintendo.

Looks like PC gaming will cost 50.00 (live) now instead of being free; Thanks Microsoft! Can Live be a tie-in now? Is Microsoft forcing Xbox Live as a feature in order for any developers to create games for their system? Are 3rd parties on the take?

It's only a matter of time before the truth comes out!

You know what cracks me up? When great games...truely great games go mulitiplatform they all the sudden don't matter. I can't tell you how many posts we have looked at regarding how NOW the Devil May Cry series "doesn't matter" or "it's a crappy franchise" when the reality is the game meant something to the "bulk" of Sony supporters 8 months ago when it was one of your pillars. Katamari & Ace Combat as well as Devil May Cry can already be counted as units sold for me. They each are great games and I will be picking all three up (on my 360). The real issue I have is, don't try and water something down because your pissed that the company your "behind" no longer has the sole ownership of something. It doesn't take anything away from the game. Hide and watch...when others jump ship they too will not be worth playing or just won't matter. (to the ones that lost them that is)

Don't be surprised to see more of this happening, Sony's arrogance this round put them where they are now...where they will continue to be, b3hind.

Dynamic missions sounds a lot like the Belkan War, but I dont think Namco would slap on a new title to an old game? Then again they did for the Ridge Racer on the PS3 which was a port of the X360 one.

If Sony's new hyped products live up to their hype they will still do well in the end. I keep hearing people talk about how Sony Home and Little Big Planet are big selling points for them, especially since they settled with Immersion. Maybe Sony is willing to part company with the old to bring in the new. Give MS the sloppy seconds, so to speak.

Dumbest thing I have ever read. This is a business decision, which is a smart one. Your just worried that the PS3 will lose sales because of this, and it probably will. Capcom and Namco are not Sony. You have to face the fact that no console will be able to have exclusive games as a selling point, except for the Wii due to its controls. The PS3 will have to win on its own merits.

@Warren DeMontague:

Nah man; this stinks of a monopoly! Nintendo and Sony didn't acquire 3, 4 or 5 - 10 3rd parties that were once exclusive to each other at once. Something is definitley going on behind the scenes besides big money. What do all these companies have in common and how are they now tied to Microsoft? Money is one, I'm sure if someone digs they'll find other things.

There should be a law that prohibits the ammount of aquisitions a company can secure as well as profit sharing (put uniform caps in place for all companies) and there should be a time limit. (one year) This way companies like Sega (who had 10,000,000 dreamcasts in the market) won't go down in flames!

Sony and Nintendo should start looking into fair trade practices and see how they apply to the Billion Dollar Videogame market.

Put down the crack.

There is no "Divide and Conquer". MS wants to get as many games as they can on their console. Period. If it's multiplatform, fine. If it's exclusive, even better.

Was Rockstar a "Sell-Out" when they signed a multi-year exclusive deal (yes! for MONEY) with Sony? The only books that you need to open are the sales figures for the two consoles. It is unethical/immoral for Capcom to want to turn a profit?

You sound like a disappointed Sony fan who is crying "foul" to make himself feel better.

Microsoft goal is to divide the market. "Divide and Conquer" by ending exclusivity. What they are doing is no different than what they did to flood the Home PC market and business markets with their Windows Operating system. They had to pay hefty fines to the US Government for orchestrating a monopoly with windows explorer being a tie in to their operating system! Is anyone going to open the books and see what exactly they are doing to convince the capcoms, namco's and konamis from jumping ship? Are they throwing money at them? If this is the case then Capcom, Namco and Konami would be Sell-outs!

I never thought that I'd see the day where a generation/culture would support Big Brother tactics and greet Sell-Outs with open arms!

Do we all remember when the videogame boat sank in the 80's; are you hardcore gamers schooled about what happened in the 80's?

History is going to repeat itself! Thank Big Brother Microsoft and companies like Namco who lack new innovative software titles; instead we have to see 6 versions of two franchises (Ace Combat and Tekken)

Let's hope Nintendo and Sony save us from a plummet (like what happened with atari in the 80's) with expanding on the Mii's and Playstation Home and Little Big Planet.

@Kyle81: I think the Japanese developers focusing on the western market is focusing on the rest of the world really.

Japan's population isn't growing, the birth rates are low and people get older and older. So for the big labels to grow and get market share, they have to focus on the rest of the world market. Currently that's the US and Europe but could soon be developing markets like Russia, India etc.

Hello Idolm@ster. Oh also, Ace Combat sells more in america, because it's more directed towards outer japan. The same goes for Metal Gear Solid.

But hey, kawaii wai wai happy kawazari desu games on 360, and suddenly they're interested. So yeah, Katamari and Ace Combat on the 360 balance out. This is good news though, because it means I won't have to buy a PS3.

I was never a fan of the Ace Combat series. I won't even give it a try now; anything that releases parallel to the 360 is not going to be a purchase for me. All these games will be passed up (I won't purchase it) or I'll go no further than the demo or rental.

Companies like Namco, Capcom, Konami etc. better hope that the other 112,000,000 PS2 owners don't start feeling the same way I do. Even if half of us do; that's going to be a major dent!

BOYCOTT!!!!!!!

@shimpu:

But no matter whats been released, the Japanese just keep saying no to the 360. Seriously no game had more hype and possibility of selling the 360 than Blue Dragon, NOTHING..... and it failed to push 360.... Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Dead or Alive series. Idolmaster.... nope, still did nothing for 360 sales. Ace Combat is not going to influence sales either.

Really it seems that Japanese developers are abandoning Japan for the western markets, and you know why? More than likely, Nintendo. Right now unless your game is on a Nintendo system in Japan, your not going to be a massive hit now.

Sony is losing it..PS3 is dying..I never imagined the day would come when I say this but it clearly is..Katamari and Ace Combat series are of my favourite games along with Tekken and Metal Gear Solid series..if MGS4 and Tekken 6 are released on the 360 I'll buy one and forget about getting a PS3..I mean its a cheaper console.

Now the question is whether or not this takes place in the AC3/4/5/0 world or if they're doing something new again. I would love to see Usea vs. Osea vs. Yuktobania.

JUST BRING US NETPLAY/LIVE ALREADY!

I only own a PS3, so as long as the games are on the PS3 I don't really care if every other system has the game. I don't expect many third parties to only support one consoles these days, but they also haven't really been coming out with the most innovative games either. Sony still has better first party games and I'll still be able to play all the big third party titles. At any rate, the whole landscape of third party support could quickly change as the user base for the Wii and PS3 grow.

The days of having to own every console is pretty much over. I'd rather have just a PS3 and maybe a Wii then to have to fork out more money for hardware to play a couple games.

In fact the whole "console war" hate flame bonanza is because of customers that bought the wrong hardware and are envy of a game on another platform. Everybody envies anyone because of a exclusive game. Kind of lollerskates roflcopter...

P.S.: I once bought a gamecube and my envy toward the Ps2 and XBox was unbelivable ;D

This is good news. I think the MGS4 on the 360 announcement can't be too far away.

@Kyle81: "The Japanese just aren't interested in the 360."

Exactly! It's about game titles not hardware. And the XBox was like shit to them because Sony had all the exclusives interesting to the Japanese players. But since this changes, the public view of the XBox will change for good over there. Ofc they'll always love the Sony and Ninty consoles more because they are used to producing the best console. It's been a long time a western console has had similiar market share worldwide.

For me I just like that I don't have to buy another console to be able to play the games I like. It's not like the current consoles (wii left outside) aren't comparable and compatible from a development view. It's not good for the customers that consoles have exclusives.

@Kyle81: To counter your arguement, look at the games you mentioned, they sold much better outside of japan (especially Ace Combat series if I recall)... it would make way more sense to throw them on a system that is doing good in europe and north america. PLUS, I still stand by the fact that japan no longer holds the major importance it once used to... even jp companies (capcom, namco) are latching onto the 360.

Ashcraft, I know its "late" for you, and you usually give up the reigns to the day crew right about now, but any chance of a quick translation, or anyone like Witzbold (i think ur in japan) wanna take a stab, just wanna know what it says...

@Elixir:

Well they got a point. 360 has sold like shit in Japan, and the games are selling like crap as well, its sad when your best selling game hasn't even sold 200k in months of release. The Japanese just aren't interested in the 360.

And Ace Combat was a big series that sold quite well in Japan, so what the hell is Namco thinking?

Makes me wonder, are these really going to be exclusive? Karamari was reported on other sites as getting released on PS3 and Wii as well though, but Ace Combat exclusive?

You guys should read the 2chan thread on Ace Combat 06 coming to the 360. It's all "360? Japan? Uh, no." "WHY NAMCO BRING JAPPO MADE GAME TO NON JAPPO CONSOLE?" and "Katamari free sixy is no good, no japon buy 360 consoru." instead of actual discussion of the game itself.

I dont think there needs to be sabotage for the PAL launch of the PS3 since Sony is doing a bang up job on their own.

Neat news though, im all for more achievement points.

Is it just me, or are all these announcements coming awfully close to the PAL launch of the PS3? Methinks the scent of sabotage hangs in the air.

Ace Combat is huge. It's probably the most popular and successful console flight game. It doesn't hurt that the games are extremely cinematic and have great presentation, either. I remember that scene in AC5, still...

You'd never think a freaking flight game could bring that achey feeling to the back of your eyes unless you've played AC.

All this news is great! Maybe I won't have to shell out for the PS3 after all.

Just when you think the PS3 can't lose anymore, bam!
I don't think this is a particularly hurtful loss but the point is the same. This feels just like the N64 days when everyone was moving to the original PS. Easy come. Easy go I guess.

Is it exclusive to 360 though? Katamari is going to PS3 and Wii as well, but it seems extremely odd that Ace Combat would go 360 exclusive....
