REJOICE! For Xbox360 will see FFXIII!

[Dragonsoul]

That's one of the greatest videos in history! It's pretty funny.

Anyways, I think I read that the Playstation 3 version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was better than the Xbox 360 version. I think I also heard and/or read that the Playstation 3 is the more powerful console. I am buying a Playstation 3 for Eternal Sonata, so I'll probably pick up Final Fantasy XIII for that console.

The best part of the video was when the general tells Adolf Hitler that Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still PS 3 exclusive and Adolf yells at him saying that he doesn't care about the game. I also like the part when Adolf says that the PS 3 version is going to have to be downgraded to go onto Xbox 360. Is that true in real life? I like the video!

At risk of flame-baiting... care to explain that logic? It leaves me flabbergasted.

[Raebus]

Haven't you heard? It's got two new characters and a clothing system. I pretty much exploded in excitment at that news, the best day since sliced bread was invented. @ Eternal Sonata.

Oh well, its his loss. He'll enjoy his PS3.

This is exactly what im talking about lol.

This is exactly what im talking about lol.

"I pre-order that game for 60 dollars. Now it's a waste of hardcore porn money!"

LOL, THE BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!

I think every game should be available on as many consoles as possible anyway. It's ridiculous that they're not. I understand the monetary benefits and stuff, but I don't give a flying smurf. It's just stupid.

Quite happy about this, as it means I can play it. But I still feel FF should stick with Sony, just because of the OMG THINGS ARE CHANGING oddness. Besides, Microtwats have got enough decent games on their consoles anyway. They don't deserve FFs because they're all dickheads. I hope they die.

But yeah. Huzzah!

PS3 games generally have a lower average framerate than their 360 counterparts. this is party because many PS3 games are a port of a game that was initially developed for the 360, and because the PS3 (again) is a harder system to develop for, meaning you need to put more resources into making the game run as well as it does on 360. If a game is initially developed for PS3, however, chances are that it'll run better on PS3 than on the 360 port.

Even if the average framerate is pretty good on both system, just a few frames per second less on one of the systems can make a noticable difference. Say for example, that GTA4 on 360 has an average framerate of 30, but in action heavy scenes, it drops by 5 frames to 25. 30 is smooth enough, and so is 25. Now let's take the PS3 version of GTA4. It runs roughly at 3-4 fps less than the 360 version. Normally, this means a little bit over 25 fps, enough to make it look smooth enough. However, in action heavy scenes, the frame rate drops, just like in the 360 version, bu roughly 5 frames. Now, the PS3 version runs at just 21-22 frames or so, which is starting to look a bit choppy.

Well your right for the most part apart from the GTA bit, which for once ran smoother on the PS3 than the 360.
Porting from PS3 to 360 gives better results for the PS3 and the 360 version will USUALLY be just as good had it been developed for it first. This depends on the engines though.
There where a lot of annoying multiplat games that ended up on the PS3 but devs are definitely getting the hang of it now.
I praise Insomniac for this because they made a lot of PS3 development tips public that no other dev would have done for business purposes. No one could be bothered to learn about the new hardware otherwise lol.
Just like the PS2, but multiply it by 2/3 times.

Anyway, I really wonder how far SE are into development. The new trailer showed mostly old footage just cut differently.

I think a framerate counter on a computer is a bit more accurate than your eyes, or something. :p.

I own a PS3 and not a 360, by the way, so I'm not really coloured by Xb360 fanboysim :p. I wish it performed better on the PS3, but it doesn't :(.

Thoses 360 guys claims "Well, it's the gamer who wins in this"
No, they don't.
Because then Microsoft goes off elsewhere and buys off 3 more exclusivities.
The real anwser is that they are screwing with sony and the feeling of the gamer.
Microsoft couldn't care less about others nor the games nor the bs they're doing to other people, including there own kind. X360 in particular.
Well, in any case, I'm not letting this get to me.
I'll continue to promote the game dispite thoses X360 players bashing out the game either way. You know, like they bashed Devil May Cry 4. Only Final Fantasy fans would have the guts to speak good of this game if they are X360 players ...

Eh?


Is that how it works?

[Vyk]

This is exactly what im talking about lol.

Agreed

I'm guessing those games will also receive a new coat of polish. Though I usually just skim over Dragonsoul's posts, I get the impression he currently has neither system. So to join in the next generation he's going to have to have to spend hundreds of dollars regardless. Where he spends his hundreds of dollars is up to him. At least he's weighing his options. Games that are available on both systems, and upcoming exclusives

At least its not like he's selling a 360 for a PS3 just for these games when they're available on both..

GameFAQ's Poll of the Day.

I don't believe any of those "never buying Square-Enix again" votes are sincere.

Where's the "it makes sense but quality will probably suffer" option?

It's the internet. There is no sensibility.
