Another Square RPG Flops on the 360 - Blu-ray Forum

Here's the latest review for Square's much anticipated The Last Remnant:

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=314710

In the end they gave it 6/10 citing long loading times, various technical issues and uneven pacing. It's kind of sad since it's also coming to the PS3 as well albeit at a latter date. Hopefully they would have ironed out some of the problems by then.

To put things in perspective this is the second Square RPG on the 360 that's received lukewarm reviews - the first being Infinite Undiscovery. Maybe Square ought to have remained exclusive to Sony instead

So I guess for now it's back to Valkyria Chronicles...

Hopefully they stop this timed exclusivity before it drives SE into the ground.

not to mention it was compressed and needed 2 discs.

Here's hoping they fix some of these problems before it lands in our PS3s...

Yep I was disappointed when I saw the ratings this game received. Even Gamespot gave it a bad note: 6.5/10

That's what I was thinking, are they allowed to optimize it for the PS3, or do they have to basicly leave it alone other then minor fixes?

Maybe they should just TRY HARDER. Just because a game is available for the 360 doesn't mean that it's going to suck. Look at Fallout 3, runs much better on the 360.

Some games end up running better on the PS3 when they try. Look at Mirror's Edge, that game is beautiful on the PS3. I don't like the 360 version though. Also Dead Space and Bioshock, both run and look better on the PS3.

Square is just trying to churn out too many RPGs in too small a time frame.
