Interview
And I answered, “PS3 exclusive, of course.” - Nomura on FFXIII
In this months issue of Dengeki Playstation Tetsuya Nomura has been interview in which he finally mentions Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
“Nomura says that with the help of the disc space on Blu-Ray and the Hard drive in each PS3, The evolution of Final Fantasy XII to XIII will be as big as the evolution of Final Fantasy VI to VII. He also says that Final Fantasy XIII will probably be the first game to use the full specifications of the Playstation 3. Another interesting thing he mentioned was that the airship present in Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be able to take part in airborne assaults over the world map. Hopefully we’ll see that in action soon. Finally, Dengeki also asked him once again whether the games will be Playstation 3 exclusives which he replied to with “Of course”.”

Unreal Tournament 3 interview: PS3 love, Xbox 360 later
Epic Games Vice President Mark Rein has been interviewed by Eurogamer on Ureal Tournament 3 for Playstation 3. Mark explains how Playstation 3 is a primary choice over the Xbox 360 at the moment because of it’s open network so users can share maps and mods. During the course of the interview Mark explains why UT3 might not make it to Playstation 3 this year in Europe.
“Eurogamer: First things first, are we going to see the PS3 version this year? And what’s happening with the 360 version?
Mark Rein: The 360 version’s not till next year anyway, so all I can say is we’re still hoping for the PS3 version to be released this year. Europe’s a problem because the certification process in Europe takes longer. They’re testing all these different languages in all these different countries, so I doubt it’ll be released this year in Europe. But I don’t know. We’ll have to cross our fingers and wait and see.
That’s such a terrible, non-commital answer [laughs]. But that’s how it is! Sorry.”
