GDC 09: Square Enix silent on Last Remnant’s PS3 version

I hope nobody here’s planning on holding their breath until The Last Remnant (PS3, Xbox 360) finally hits the Sony PlayStation 3, because if this report’s any indication, we may not be seeing that game for a long time. If at all.

I hope nobody here’s planning on holding their breath until The Last Remnant (PS3, Xbox 360) finally hits the Sony PlayStation 3, because if this report’s any indication, we may not be seeing that game for a long time. If at all.

According to Wired’s Chris Kohler, Square Enix‘s Hiroshi Takai said during GDC that he can’t say anything about The Last Remnant‘s PS3 version.

Now that statement by itself doesn’t really say anything, but think about it in the context of this conversation, copied verbatim from Kohler’s Wired blog post (the “I” refers to Kohler):

“The Last Remnant,” I said, “was originally announced to be Square Enix’s first multi-platform game. But the PlayStation 3 version hasn’t come out yet. Is it still happening?”

Silence.

No one wants to speak. Finally, someone ventures: “Well, the PC version came out this week.”

Me: “Yes, it did.”

More silence. Everyone’s kind of glancing around.

Takai: “Well, as for the PS3 version, I can’t say anything about that.”

Me: “Alright, then.”

Maybe I’m being to pessimistic here, but that definitely doesn’t sound too promising.

• Last Remnant for PS3 hopefully to get Japanese dialogue
• Last Remnant director: Square Enix doesn’t have a favorite console, but 360 was “a lot of fun”
