White knight chronicles to run in native 1080p with FF XIII image quality

Here is what Dengeki scans of WKC say-

-First RPG on the market to be native 1080p
-Storyline quality on par with that of DQ series story lines
-Image quality approaching that of Final Fantasy
-Aspects reminiscent of Monster Hunter

@cahill

Lets not overhype it. Dont give a chance to you know who later to say but but but...
WKS is new IP and especially in Japan it is hard for new IP to break into the market. For example amazing Rogue Galaxy sold only 400k in Japan, lifetime! And RG in my book is better than DQ8 that sold over 2 million in Japan, japanese are very strange so go figure....

That said i still expect WKS to be big in Japan and in first week i expect between 300k-500k. Life time it should get over 1 million but it will take some time. Of course it depends if Sony will bundle it as they should.

I have been hyping this game alone for almost a yr. Glad to see some of you guys are joining the band wagon:D

I really didn't expect close to FFXIII visuals or 1080p native but with the one yr delay it really looks like level 5 is going all out with this. The game creator already said its the greatest title he has ever worked on and he thinks it will spawn many sequels. Considering level 5 makes ace JRPG's for them to say one is the greatest they ever made means its going to be awesome

This is the JRPG to get. The only JRPG that can stand on the level of WKC is FF at this point. Can't wait to play

Actually back at TGS last yr the developers hinted they were aiming for an early 2008 release in Japan...guess it wasn't so early afterall:)

And the game WAS NOT announced last yr, it was announced before PS3 launched but it was not supposed to be a launch title

"I think WKS will be bigger than FF13 but not as big as FF13 versus "

Why bigger than FF13 (cuz its also on 360) and not as big as FF13 versus (ps3 exclusive). Did i miss anything else ?

Cahill, you're so freaking delusional. WKS is not going to be as big as FFXIII. Versus won't be as big as FFXIII. No level-5 game, except the Dragon Quest game, has sold over a million in Japan.

Wow, I just lost a bubble for speaking the truth. Alright FFXIII sucks because its on the 360. Versus and White Knight Chronicles are the only AAA JRPGs this gen.

How is this a megaton? The PS3 has been out for 2 years now, games should all run in native 1080p, like I was promised by Sony. It is the more powerful of the two real current gen consoles.

I can't wait for this game though, just finished Rogue Galaxy last week, really looking forward to this one, an it's nice to know the game will look great in full 1080p.

I'm really trying think of why the 360 doesn't have many 1080p games, while the PS3 has a good number of them now. While I'm pretty certain the PS3 is the stronger system overall, with more performance potential, one common line of thinking out there is that the 360 has stronger GPU component, and that it's generally the easier system to develop for. At least that's one line of thinking.

2.3 - @Statix
If im not entirely mistaken I recall reading somewhere that the 360 can't have fullHD resolution due to that it doesn't have the support for it. it has 1.2 hdmi hence the ps3 has 1.3 and that makes so the ps3 can display 1080p and the 360 only can upscale 720p to fit 1080p monitors but the pixel count is still the same as 720p.

not sure as I said before but I know that the 360 can't scale trueHD 1080p. Microsoft is tricking people in to thinking that it can just so it won't look "inferior".

Why don't you people just go here and actually learn something about the resolutions on both the 360 and the PS3:

2.6 - The EDRAM
It is because of tiling and the size of the edram. Fast - but not big enough to handle 1080p. XB360 will be generally better is some resolutions when the edRAM can be leveraged - which mostly is if I remember correctly just a little bit under 720p.

And let's also not forget Cahill, Buzz! Quiz TV is in native 720p, why is that? And you not making any good points, your just proving you have PS3 underwear and can read ;D

oh, and what's your PSN? I would love to do laps around you in Wipeout HD tomorow.

2.11 - The problem with HDMI 1.2 is that while it does support 1080p
It can only run at that resolution at 30 Frames Per Second. HDMI 1.3 (which is what Sony put in the PS3) can do 1080p at 60 Frames Per Second, which is what we see in titles like GT5: Prologue and WipEout HD.

The 360's ED-RAM chip is more of an offset in order to offload bandwidth from PCI Express. However, it can only handle 480p with 4x Anti-Aliasing, or 620p with 2x Anti-Aliasing due to its small size of 10MB. 720p frame buffers are 13MB, and 1080p frame buffers are 32MB. Thus, tiling comes into play and the benefits of ED-RAM are lost. The degree depends on how many tiles have to enter and leave ED-RAM before post-processing is applied.

3.3 - the water
the water is very impressive(better than gears2 water...way better), the graphics are great imo they are a little bit worse than Gears2, but the fact that they are making you look closely for a game of that size and comparing it to a game gfx wise that has very small corridors and a fog of war to avoid issues is ridiculously good in and of itself.

and to me clearly shows Insomniac's game is better.

1080p games are impressive but you wouldn't really notice graphical issues at all if playing games in resolutions like the DMC4 game has. But i love the fact that it is made with people who have these tv's in thought.
