I wonder what kind of censorship he would be talking about. The only kind of censorship applied to games that I can think of that would only be done in the US, is that of the ESRB. And that would hardly be Sony's fault. But then one would think the same censorship applied to the XBox version.

Anyone who played Syberia 2 could maybe say what content it has that is so controversial that it would have to be censored? And so tied into the game that it could not be removed?

Either way, the message does not really provide any foundations for its accusations, so unless he elaborates some more I'll stick this in the 'whatever, XBox fanboy' category.

@Grauw: Yeah, they're such total Xbox fanboys that they aren't even releasing the game on the 360.

Sheesh.

@MehGinla: Why the hell do you want me to explain that for? I don't know what the point was. Attention, probably?

But I do know that calling them "Xbox fanboys" is ridiculous considering that the 360 is not even a target platform. There are not only two competing platforms in the universe, people, and having problems with one doesn't mean you love the other.

Why's he so hung up on releasing on the PS3 anyway? If the 360 is apparently so much easier to port to from PC, surely that's the obvious solution here? Especially if his prerogative is to stick one to Sony.

Although, getting his company's fans to beg Sony for a nicer deal suggests there's something of a love-hate thing here.

please use prerenderized environments and 3d characters and do this on the WII too, it could be handle awesome graphics that way, and it could have a good point and click interface instead of a shitty joypad moved thing.

anyway... PC version, WOO HOOOOOO

@0xC001D00D: yeah, this could definitely be cool on the Wii, but I think I'd still pick it up on the PC. I want the box to sit next to my existing PC versions. Actually, come to think of it, I bought this for XBOX as well. It worked ok, but I think PC is the way to go. Speaking of which, I think this is one of those games that never got added to the 360 BC list. If they come out with 3 on the 360, I hope they make the original BC, that would be great.

Calling April Foolshit on this one until proven otherwise, but if it's true, it could be interesting.

I'm reminded of Shivers 2, with it's "work through the game together" system. Basically just (at the time unprecedented) in-game chat, but the idea is similar.

gotta be bogus, ya?

April Fool's?

A PS3/PC game that links users across platforms.

and no xbox version.

riiiiiight...

regardless, just the idea of a Syberia 3 is badass.

@BruzeWayne: Trine is only on PS3 and PC so there is some precedent. PS2 and PC NFS had cross platform online. Again precedent

@Brandon Fletcher: fair enough.

but still, you have to admit it's pretty unlikely they'd leave out xbox completely when its SO much easier to link xbox and PC across platforms.

im sure its do-able, just seems like a really weird choice.

@BruzeWayne: it actually isnt though. the 360's online components arent as open or free as the PS3's region free, server free system. in practice, the 360 would seem the likelier candidate, because it's done things like that before. but with statistics and whatnot, getting onto a PC server with the PS3 is extremely easy.

Stuff like this is fine if it's optional, but starts to lose it's appeal when it's required, I disagree with the principle of having to connect to the internet to finish a single player game. Bonus content for linking w/ the Ps3? Ok, that's fine. But not being able to complete the game w/o it? Lame. Why can't I use the full product I paid for?
