I think as people have said, 360 is pretty much close to dead on a lot of things over there as most people have PS3s, so they might just be focusing on the majority there. I don’t doubt there’ll be a 360 version over here.
I’ve been eyeing BB since CT, but never got into it. Now’s as good a time as any, I guess. I was instantly disappointed with P4U so went back and bought CSEX, convinced a friend to get it with me and we’re both learning the game to get ready for the eventual release of CP. Not sure if I’ll bother with one of the new characters since everyone is pretty much new to me as it is, but they do look like great additions to the cast.
I can understand why they are saying only PS3. The 360 is not that popular in Japan. It’s the least popular of all the current systems really. And this is not the first time we have seen this sort of thing. Look at SFxT. They favored the PS3, due to in part how big sony is in japan. Sony was more willing to work with Capcom then microsoft because Microsoft probably didn’t see a profit in it, because they knew it wouldn’t sell much in Japan. Many other games are favoring PS3 over 360, except for the CoD series.
That being said, they may make a 360 version for just America. Maybe make it download only.
the game is way more bigger than the size limit for xla games, and it needs a physical release first to be on games on demand.
so if there is a 360 version for the international release, it needs to be a retail release
Acronym goes from CSEX to CP…
Just keeps getting more and more unfortunate.
Are people seriously debating whether or not it’s going to be released on the 360?
Lord have mercy of course it is. PS3 dominated Japan, but the 360 slightly “Dominates” in Europe and America. Imagine those sales figures yooooo. Especially since Persona pretty much raped every fighting games sales since god knows when.
Also. Extend was by miles the worst BB yet. They managed to kill online variety and make every ingle character in the game boring as shit with only a few changes. I honestly don’t know how they did it.
Anyway. Roll on this new BB. I’m so hype it hurts, I just wanted a new Blazblue, and Mori answered.
I know that i sold well in japan, hopefully it will do well on the rest of the world despite the region locking fiasco.
I see, they nerfed your main.
Eh…arcade versions of CS are 1.3–1.4GB and VF5FS is like 1.9GB. Make some of the other mode content DLC like that game and it might work. Paying half price for BB without the modes I never play other than to unlock Mu would be pretty great actually.
FFXIII was PS3 only in Asia originally, so there’s hardly no precedent for that.
you are forgetting that while yes the arcade version of the game is around 1.5 gb to who knows if its bigger now
the other features that are present on the console version add more weight to the game, on the 360 the iso of bbcsex is around 7.6 gb, on ps3 the iso is around 9.5gb.
and are you really suggesting on annoying the public by releasing an incomplete game and sell all the other features like dlc? yeah right i can see that working.
its more probable that the game would be ps3 only for asia, and be on both consoles for the rest
Really looking forward to this, would be nice if P4 Arena brings more attention back to these types of fighters.
Uh, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I mean hell, I play Noel, and she went from S to A- and I welcomed the new changes with her. The people that seemed most upset were Makoto mains, some Jin players, and people who were hoping Tsubaki would get made good.
Also, I always abbreviated Extend as CSX.
I main Bang.

If I had the option for buying a full game for $60, or just the basic fighting modes for $30 and the rest for another $30 I’d actually be pissed to be on the console with the former. Down the line you do get screwed over by less discounts on console download games though. BB story mode has a huge volume of of audio and HD video to make that file size, and the story sprites and CGs aren’t all that insignificant either given the resolution and format they’re in.
But yeah, CP is definitely bigger to start with, but I don’t know if it’s “bigger than 2GB” bigger, at least not without features like old stage select.
This kind of links to the arcade thing, japan is so freakin’ myopic. “Hey lets ignore a HUGE potential market, at least as big as here… here’s the only place that counts, right?”
oh boy…
Announcing only the ps3 version of the game it does not mean that it would not be one on the 360, and even if there is not a 360 version on japan/asia, that does not mean that there are not going to be one for the western market.
And how is being myopic to decide not release a game on a console that in that specific market is not selling anything that is put on it, and the console itself being considered dead?
If anything, is foolish to release a game (if they really are not going to release it) on console that is pretty much dead on that region.
Yeah, I pretty much agree with a lot of what was said. I don’t recall hearing a single thing that would suggest they wouldn’t release it on 360 over here.
Indeed, so far, they only said that the ps3 release is assured, they have not said anything about the 360 for everyone start this stupid argument, for what we know they would made a 360 version but the announcement is on hold because, i don’t know, they have to renew a license, a contract or whatever.
if they’re favoring one system over another because its big in their own market, and ignoring another, bigger market, that’s myopic, regardless of the game. (And that’s what the guy above me was saying was going on)
But, I think Daid is just taking any opportunity to tee off at me, so time to quit feeding ><
