Final Fantasy XIII 2008 and Demo?

2008-01-29T17:45:00.000-08:00

Well it looks like one of the PS3's biggest titles is on track to make it's 2008 debut, but when in '08?
Most fans of the legendary Final Fantasy series are no doubt used to getting all excited when a release date is announced. We get all giddy like a bunch of xbox owners when a new MSG to Xbox rumor surfaces. And much like them only get disappointed. ( in our case we get hit with the delay stick.) Recently Testuya Nomura, character designer for FFXIII, has gone on to say that the long awaiting FFXIII will be a 2008 release. He just didn't say when in 2008, also he said that PS3 Final Fantasy fans will have a FXIII demo showing up sometime soon on PSN.
As much as i want to have the full game in my hand a demo would help hold me off until that day shows up. All we can do now is sit and wait like a bunch of junkies waiting for that next hit.

Here are a few rumors that are floating around about new PS3 games and PSN Store content:

As Reported By Surfer Girl - Surfer Girl Website

"Yes, Onimusha 5 is coming out next year for PS360. So are Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2."

I personally can't wait to see what Capcom has in store for Onimusha 5. Haven't played Dead Rising cuz i don't own a 360 nor do i want to. As for lost Planet well i will try that out and see.
