General Gaming / RE:Tales of Symphonia on PS2: English version rumor

« on: July 31, 2004, 07:11:42 PM »

I really don't care about ToS on PS2. ToS is already out here. What I'm excited about are ToD2 and ToR. I hope Namco's really considering releasing them.

That doesn't mean a PS2 version won't ever be announced for North America.

I don't think Namco ever said that ToS would stay GameCube exclusive.

Nintendo decided to go with integrated rumble for Gamecube, so they "copied" Sony. Just as Microsoft copied BOTH Sega and Nintendo by having slots in their controller. They copied Nintendo because Nintendo had the controller slot idea first, and they copied Sega by having 2 slots. Just as Nintendo would be coping Sega if they had decided to put 2 controller slots in Gamecube's controller. Yes, Nintendo originally came up with the idea, but sega expanded on it a bit, so Nintendo would be copying.

"6.Buttons named X and Y"

YES. Nintendo naming buttons "X" and "Y" is true innovation. Next time maybe they'll introduce a controller with buttons with DIFFERENT letters in the alphabet??? I hope so. It'd be great.

"The Gamecube Z button is a better, more modern alternative."

...I think the R1 button on the PS2 controller is a better alternative to the GameCube Z button.

"Sony released the Dual Analogue to answer Nintendo's analogue control, and then the Dual Shock to answer Nintendo's Rumble pak feature"

I thought there was only a Dual Shock.

"17.The 'No Look' style button layout
Description: People don't have to look down to obey the on screen command to press the 'B' or 'Y' button – It's position and shape mean you know by feel"

I remember where each button on the PS2 controller is. It isn't very hard. I remember buttons by their position on the controller, so having different shaped buttons doesn't help me. It just makes you end up with a controller with odd shaped buttons.

"Funny, the company that introduced rumble to controllers made it standard on their next console, but because another company got a console out sooner, they are copying?"

Yes, they are copying. Sony had built-in rumble first and they copied it.

Well, if Viewtiful Joe and now Killer 7 are rumored to be ported to PS2, then it's only fair to think that Castlevania: LoI will be ported to GCN.

...Yeah, and it's fair to think that Star Ocean 3 will be ported to GCN too! ...

Sony obviously loves piracy, being a game developer and publisher and all ...
And speaking of dreamcast.. it's easier to pirate dreamcast games than ps2 games! so you really shouldn't be mad at sony for getting rid of dreamcast! you should be congratulating them! because sega allowed evil piracy!!!

I'm a fan of Tales of Destiny and Tales of Eternia (Tales of Destiny II in America) and can't wait for this game. I'll be getting it the day it comes out. It's a shame that the Tales series has done so poorly in America.

Er, My point was that Namco should not care about the user base size ratio. Namco should care about how many copies they'll sell total.

Namco should not be all "YAY! WE SOLD 400,000 COPIES ON GAMECUBE WHEN WE COULD HAVE SOLD 800,000 ON PS2! OMG IT'S GREAT BECAUSE GAMECUBE HAS A REALLY SMALL USER BASE"

People have PS2s for the Tales series. The last Tales game sold about 900,000 copies on PS2. That's why I think ToS probably would have sold better if it was on PS2 instead of GC.

Quote
Not really. It maybe would have sold double on PS2, if its lucky, and the PS2 has about 10 times the user base of the GC. Which means more percentage of GC owners would have bought it. This is selling very good for a GC game.

Why should the size of GC's user base matter to Namco? The size of the console's user base is irrelevant.
