This game and V13 will NEVER go multiplatform

1. http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...pe=mov&pl=game

Have you seen comparisons between 360 and PS3? 360 mops the floor with the PS3. Why do you think S-E recently licensed the Unreal engine?

2. What system strenghts. As of so far, every multiplatform game looks better on the 360. Thats a fact, just go to the link above.

3. At the Blue Dragon launch, 360 sold over 10,000 units, proving that a good RPG will sell systems in Japan. I'm sure Eternal Sonata, Lost Oddysey will sell great there as well.

4. It's called compressed data, which is something alot of developers are not doing. Plus, Square has released multiple discs before, and I have no problem having to switch discs once in awhile.

5. Square is not going to make a lick of profit with the way PS3 sales are doing now. Fact is, development costs are way too high for next gen games, and FFXIII is no exception. There is just no way XIII will make a profit if it stays exclusive.

6. Don't even have to answer that, your research is wrong.

I mean honestly, PS3 is just one big joke.

Total disaster it reads.

Ive seen nothing that proves the 360 mops the floor with the PS3. In fact of all the research I have done...(and ive done a lot of it)...the PS3 is a slightly more powerful system but only so if developers utilize it to its full potential. Otherwise they are virtually identical in power. I think that most of the statements you have made are nothing more than opinions with nothing to back them up. Do a little more research on the actual hardware of the two consoles. Do NOT used biased reviews to make your determinations.

As for the subject I personally do not think they will port XIII over to any other console. Simply because its physically not possible due to the WHITE engines requirements. Will they possibly make a FF game for the 360 or Wii down the road? Maybe...probably...but we don't know for sure untill it happens.

Oooh...I read my own post. I came across a bit harsh...sorry...not trying to be a jerk and bash anybody here. I guess I just disagree on a few things based on my own research. You are right though. A good game of any kind will sell consoles. Hell its why I bought a PS1 for FFVII. But my point remains. It will be a while before we see what will happen betwee the 3 consoles. Right now they all have thier stregnths and if I could I would choose all 3 for different reasons.

As for your PS3 vs 360 comparison of Armored Core 4. I don't see much difference. They both look very good. They use slightly different shaders it seems but thats all. In fact im kinda swinging towards the PS3 version myself. Also...ive played Oblivion on both systems and the PS3 version is by far better graphically.

The White Engine is apparently open platform, thus could be ported to the 360 fairly easily.

HS: I feel that the Final Fantasy series should come to Xbox 360 as well. This is wise. It makes so much sense to me...it has so much potential in North America and in Europe. So there's a great chance for the series to succeed on 360 as well.
[in English] And I heard they made the White Engine open platform as well.

I don't see why people are so against the game being accessible to more people, anyway.

[DeStyle]

That means they get one reason less to buy a PS3.

That pisses off those who already bought a PS3, no one
likes to see that something they bought was completely
overpriced. Especially if it costed $600.

That is why there are Sony fanboys left, they just don't want
to hear that they waster 300-400.

That's how I see it anyways.

[Vertisce]

And then you have your 360 fanboys that don't realize that in the long run the 360 is more expensive than the PS3 when it comes right down to it. And they also dont realize that the price difference isnt that great and they are afraid to even try the PS3 because they dont want to admit that something better has come out a year later than thier beloved 360. Fanboys suck. Get over it. People will buy the different consoles for thier own reasons.

Thats a good article. I never read much on the WHITE engine. If it is an engine that can be ported over to other systems then thats definately a good thing. I cant seem to find it but im pretty sure ive got an article someplace that states the WHITE engine is specifically using certain parts of the PS3s processor that the 360 simply cannot do. Therefore FFXIII will not be one of the portable games. The engine may be cross platform but that doesnt mean the game is.

Either way...they already have FF games on the gamecube and im sure they will release one for the Wii. Wouldnt suprise me one bit if one came out for the 360. Thats how money is made and I have no problem with that.

How is the 360 more expensive in the long run?
Explain.

[DeStyle]

At the moment Xbox360 is cheaper than PS3,
I have yet to see a PS3 exclusive that's really good.
Xbox360 is multi adaptable (music, movies, etc),
included is a nice 30 (?) Gb harddrive.

I used to be a Xbox fanboy, for the sole reason
that I didn't want to believe I had spent my money
on something inferior.

Now I don't care anymore, I got a good PC and download
whatever I want to play. Unethical maybe, but those
companies are loaded anyways.

Encore, main man. Bravo n'all that.

I see no real difference between any system. They're all just their for coporate competition. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo don't give a rat's ass about the fan base. They don't bother trying too hard to outshine each other because then one would dominate and there'd be no competition. Overall, that'd mean the price for the machine would rise dramatically and only the entrepreneurs would buy up the damn things to shove into their closets as trophy collectibles. As soon as they got bored with it, the richies would stop their checks and the top company would then have built itself a Babel tower that crumbles under its own weight and crap foundation.

I'll get XIII for PS3 regardless. I don't own the 3 yet, but I will and I'll get the 360 and Wii too, never you doubt. I sincerely hope (for those who can't afford PS3 but already have a 360 or Wii) that it does get HQ-ports and I think Squee can do it after their initial sales of XIII and Versus. It will take a lot of time and money but I seriously doubt it'd be a waste. These days, I think Squee is pretty good at what they do.

How is the 360 more expensive in the long run?
Explain.

PS3 is $600 US.
360 is $400 US...BUT. No card reader...no wireless...no HD-DVD/Blu-Ray. Add all 3 of those to the 360 and you are paying well over $700. Do you need all that stuff? Probably not and you will say you don't but a lot of people DO want that stuff. With that considered your getting more for your money with the PS3 than you do with the 360.

[Roto13]

I'd actually consider buying a PS3 if I didn't have to pay for all of the extra crap I'd never use. Xbox is doing it right. "More for your money" doesn't mean much when you don't want what you're getting.

Though I'll probably buy the wireless thing when I finally buy a 360.

1. What do I need wireless for? Heck, why would anyone want to use a wireless connection for a game console? Wired connections are both faster and more stable.
2. I don't need HD-DVD nor Blu-ray, because I don't own an HDTV.

The only thing I would consider useful of those would be a card reader, but that's just because I want to back-up my save files. If that can be done by other means on the 360, I see no use for a card reader. By the time I've got a HDTV, Xbox 720 and PS4 would be on the market.

It's not more expensive in the long run because of upgrades, when I never plan on getting said upgrades.

Perhaps for the convenience? Seriously, a wired connection in my room would have been fairly expensive/impractical in comparison to the built in wi-fi that lets me play games like Resistance online with absolutely NO noticeable lag. From here on, lack of built in wireless is definitely a knock against any console I might consider buying.

I would think most people have their game consoles in their living rooms, though, and a fairly long TP cable doesn't cost much.

I have mine in my bedroom with all of my other consoles which is in the basement. My computer, and therefore the broadband modem is on the second floor of the house. Running an ethernet cable that distance would be rediculous and impractical. Getting another modem hooked up in my room would be costly, as would running a cable through the walls. Wi-fi was the most convenient solution since we already had a wireless network setup in the house, and like I said, my online games run lag free so I have no issues with it.

[Roto13]

I wouldn't have bothered taking my Wii or DS online if I couldn't do it with my router.
