Even that I am wondering about. What if Capcom hasn't been up front about Killer 7 from the beginning? What if it is being developed using PS2 as the source so it can easily be done for both systems. Conspiracy theory yes, but given how Capcom is being a two-faced devil talker I wouldn't put it past them.

Dang it!!!!

This game has really good character designs, and a creepy premise about a serial killer( thumbs up in

in the Rob camp). If it's going to be a good game, at least Nintendo is going to have it exclusive for a while before it hits PS2. But it wouldn't really sell as much gamecubes as it would have if it where exclusive; I'm not saying it was going to be a big seller, but it would have helped gamecube growth( if it's a good game) . But aside from all that, so far its looking like a good buy from me.

That's a good point, I guess we won't really know.

Factor 5 is a German team. RL is a German game, as is Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City.

Saw it coming, Killer 7 doesn't look so great. low polly, no textures, weak colors. Looks like a PS2 game. Hope it's still fun.

Actually, I believe cel shading is a form of texturing, so the game is in fact heavily textured.

Rockstar North is a Scottish team (made the GTA games, and manhunt)

Yep.

Sorry suffering from a lack of sleep here.

Factor 5 is a German team and DMA is a Scottish team.

Damn Rockstar should make a new Lemmings game instead of rehashing GTA...

I can't blame Capcom for hedging their bets, this is not the type of game that typically sells on the GameCube. Exclusivity deals sure are breaking down a lot since Microsoft entered the game (not that I'm blaming MS, although they do seem to wave a lot of money around and put more emphasis on timed exclusivity than true exclusivity)...Rare, Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, Resident Evil: "loyalty" is out the window, it seems. If it ever really existed. I'm getting off track...

This is frustrating, but then again, as long as we're still getting the game, why make a stink? Yes it would be nice if Killer 7 sold GameCubes to PS2 and Xbox owners, but how does it affect us personally? Capcom could dumb the graphics down, but it probably won't because the game has already been in development for the Cube for more than a year. Most likely PS2 will get a simplified port and we'll get the exact same game we would have if it wasn't exclusive.

Capcom always kept the door open on this one. It was never guaranteed to be exclusive, it was just only being developed for GC at that time.

Unsure exactly where i read this and i went over all the posts and I dont think anyone else has said this. Killer 7 IS gc exclusive in the us. A ps2 version of killer 7 WILL NOT be released in the US.

An interview reveals a bit more about the upcoming Killer 7 game by Capcom!

Quote
During the interview Mr. Kobayashi revealed that the game will in fact be released simultaneously on both the GameCube and the PS2 in Japan.

still no word on if the game will be released on the ps2 in the united states, or if it will be a timed exclusive if it is.

actually in this month's GI it says that they are having problem's getting the game apporved from SCEA. Meaning in America it could be a GCN exclusive

Exclusivity doesn't really matter to me, Did i like Prince of Persia less because other systems got it?

Anyway, think of it this way:
The games so great that they wanted to reach a broader audience.

it matters to me only when some systems get exclusive extra's.

"it matters to me only when some systems get exclusive extra's"

then buy all the systems. Why bitch about it when the problem can be solved by YOU taking action.
God these topics are so freaking stupid.

vudu · « **Reply #45 on:** March 01, 2004, 08:52:44 AM »

no stupider than you suggesting i need to buy a ps2 and an additional copy of mega man anniversary collection to have access to both the producer interviews and the anime videos.

thecubedcanuck · « **Reply #46 on:** March 01, 2004, 11:14:29 AM »

only buy the PS2 one then. Dont bitch because you dont have the system that has the game you want or version of it.
You guys simply sound like broken records.

vudu · « **Reply #47 on:** March 01, 2004, 11:35:05 AM »

let me spell it out for you.
the gamecube version of mega man anniversary collection features bonus interviews with the producers.
the playstation 2 version of mega man anniversary collection features bonus anime videos from the japanese series.
hence, if you want to have access to both, you must buy both versions.

i believe bonus content for prince of persia was very similar. the xbox version featured pop2, and the gc and ps2 versions had the original. or how all EA games only feature online play for the ps2 and not the xbox (or gamecube, but who can blame them). or even how splinter cell had the extra weapon/radar for the gc, and xbox had extra downloadable levels. (that last one is pushing it, because each system has a unique feature (gba connectivity and a hard drive, respectively) that makes it impossible for the others to have it.

i'm not necessary complaining about the exclusive features, i'm merely arguing on caseyryback's behalf.
