FFXIII PS3 HAS Been Adversely Affected By 360

GrieverSoul - 123 days 7 hours ago

Either fanboy or not, either console war exists or not, we all knew that one version would suffer due to the multiplatform status the game suffered.

The only thing I truly hope is that they keep the original Japanese voices in the PS3 version. I have a feeling they might cut out that feature to provide equal products in the market. Either that or increase the number of DVDs in the X360 version. I just hope they find a way to please everyone a find a way to provide the original voices.I love the japanese voices in japanese RPGs. ;)

EDIT:
@jack_burt0n
I know they said that but its so stupid to deny that to those who have the chance to get it just because others dont have a way get it on disc. Im hoping the final product will surprises us.

What is this, like the tenth story this week on the same subject matter? I think it's about time everyone got over it, you're tainting your impression of the damn game before you have even played it.

No amount of whining and moaning is going to change the fact that the game is now multiplatform, buy the game on PS3 and be done with it, jesus.

360 has yet to surpass uncharted 1 in graphics

PS3 has surpassed uncharted 1 with killzone 2. And its gonna surpass it again with uncharted 2. And again with god of war 3, heavy rain and gran turismo 5

Final Fantasy XIII could have been up there with ps3's best. But instead, square held back its potential and brought it down to the console which still hasn't surpassed ps3's 2007 title.

A year more on the market, easier to develop for and it still has nothing that comes close to touching ps3's best titles. No standard hard drive, a last generation media format...someone tell how that doesn't hold back what ps3 could have produced?

and a PS3 gamer at that, I don't care that it's coming to 360. I do care that it's taken twice as long to arrive and has been gimped. SE could have just used the White Engine and created another engine for the 360 while finishing the PS3 version, instead they started completely over with a multiplatform engine. This Automatically means the game has been modified from it's original form.

Also, while for the most part the core gameplay likely has not suffered as much as the graphics, there has likely been some level design changes. Especially when it comes to the world map, which has likely been altered to prevent constant disc swapping from players going back to earlier parts of the game. There is also a worse case scenario in which the game has been made extremely linear, similar to most FPS nowadays. Either way the original masterpiece FF13 was going to be has been altered.

Let's just ignore all the developers spending millions of dollars to make better graphics engines. Oh and the PR statements that says "Our sequel has better graphics than the last game." Oh and the millions of gamers who spend $2k on their computers for better graphics.

Sales are sales, but the real devs are the ones aiming to push the boundary, innovate, and of course that means PRETTIER GRAPHICS.

And what's better? A good game that sells poorly or a poor game that sells millions?

I own a PS3, Xbox 360 and a Wii. I also have a decent PC. I am playing what ever I want. I am also old enough to know that devs make games to sell, not to look pretty.

As for Wii Fit being better than Halo. From a publishers point of view it cost less to create and sold more. It is definately the more successful product. That is what determines success when selling a product. As a gamer, we look at things differently. The majority of people crying about Square also seem to think they have an unlimited budget and don't need to make money. That is where fans and reality take different turns.

its called progress, by you logic, your fine with playing snes graphics, as long as the game is good. Oh and BTW, devs are in the business of creating best graphics, its what differs between one game to the next. Since were talking final Fantasy, I believe 1-12 obviously throughout the series, "graphics" was improved from 1 console to the next consoles. I don't recall them going back to pixel art on a next generation console. It's so obvious that FF13 has been downgraded on the ps3 to fit with the 360. The demo of a game in early development does not get downgraded, if anything it gets better. By pics from what i've seen and can compare with old/new, its obvious its been downgraded. Any person with a a reasonable mentality can see it, but then again 360 fanboys aren't reasonable.

Here is the truth: Microsoft paid squareenix upwards of 70 million dollars for square to break their exclusivity with Sony over ff13. A few of the stipulations were that the game had to be identical or better on the xbox, and that the ps3 version could not contain any "extras" that the xbox version wouldn't be able to include. There ya go.
That answers every question. Don't even expect dlc for the ps3 version.

Just like we know who JOY is (JokesOnYou) and he does the same thing (maybe dual accounts? just saying). We get it, your name is Death, it describes the life of your arguments, we don't need to see it everywhere. Yeah, I know this is a pointless rant, but I just got annoyed of seeing "Death" everywhere bad arguments were.

On Topic: I knew that the 360 would gimp FFXIII the second that SE announced that the White Engine was being changed to a multiplatform engine and called it "Crystal Tools". That was months before the 360 version was announced. I knew that the 360 would get FFXIII then because there was really know reason to make that big a deal of announcing a multiplatform engine unless you already had something in mind for it, and since the only game in development using the engine at the time was FFXIII, with no further announced games to be using it, I simply put 2 and 2 together. And it's certainly NOT a stretch of the imagination to know that the 360 would force compromises to be made to the PS3 version.

Hell, for all we know, the PS3 version has been done for awhile now, only SE held it back to see how the 360 version would turn out, and once the weaknesses showed, they pulled out the PS3 version and altered it accordingly. Anyone who DOESN'T think that the PS3 version was gimped obviously doesn't understand the huge differences in capability between the two consoles. PS3 pushes games to their limits, 360 is content with the status quo.

Here's the problems with your arguments...

"square enix will do what they want, and if you dont like it dont buy the fricken game."

if by "doing what they want" you mean purposely downgrading the quality of the game's graphics, content, and possibly gameplay, why would you support that in any way? Not buying the game will be met by an extreme by SE in that they will completely stop making that game period instead of making it better. Plus, just accepting this kind of attitude will show other devs that they can do the same thing and be met with no criticism.

"oh also, im sure most of you forget but square and enix got most of their sales from nintendo long before sony started releasing their games"

speaking as someone who's played, and owns, every FF game except for FFXI, I can say two things. A)What the hell does that matter? and B)FFVII sold 9 million copies in it's lifetime, and exactly what console was that game sold for?

"and for the record, who decided that great games have to have amazing graphics. we know the 360 wont produce graphics as well as the ps3, so what. i personally enjoy both systems but ill probably buy this game on 360 as i dont mind changing disks. i enjoy talking to my friends with the voip on live while i play games, is this a crime?"

If it were just the graphics, I don't think it would be so big a deal. However, content is obviously being removed (i.e. Jap. V.O.'s) and we don't know the true extent that the PS3 version has been changed to accommodate the 360 version, which is being sold to a fanbase that has PROVEN they have NO interest in JRPG's (look at how abysmally they have sold on the 360), and that's what we have a problem with. Your reasons for buying the 360 version are your own.

Face the facts. Downgrading a game, especially to suit an audience that has shown a proven apathy to its genre, is wrong. As consumers looking for the best bang for their buck, we have the right to expect the best as we are paying for the best. Failure to deliver that should not be met with an "oh well, what can you do", SE should know that they are wrong, their practices are wrong, and they will be criticized for it.

Other people you can blame are the consumers for NOT buying the PS3. However, that is understandable.

However, worst of all, it is the fanbois fault for blindly buying everything Sony puts out. That just artificially increases the price and allows Sony to put out over priced products excarcebating the problem.

it is precisely microsoft's fault, as well as SE's. microsoft played on SE's greed, SE were stupid and short-sighted and didn't do good market research. hence ps3 supporters have every right to be upset with the cause of a downgraded game, which are microsoft and SE. greed is merely the catalyst, it is up to the devs to follow through. microsoft also made demands, and you better believe that those demands are that both games are equal, hence it is AGAIN microsoft's fault that the ps3 version is NOT at its best. you can try to defend microsoft and SE all you want in the typical fanbot way you do, but the fact of the matter is that microsoft and SE are to blame for a weakened game. SE used to push console limits, now they are content to make mediocre games as long as microsoft foots the bill for the difference.

Any moron can see that unless you are among the few fanbois that believes the developer/publisher owes them any sort of loyalty to anything, but the dollar.

There is nothing sort sighted about this and it is pretty obvious that SE recognized that they could sell to vastly more people that will enjoy the game regardless of how much fanboys will b*tch and moan like a spoiled child.

It's not just about graphics xbots, it is about the content that will be left out just because of your Sh1tbox360's DVD9 space limitation. I don't think MGS4 would have been the same GODLY game if it were on the sh1tbox... Too many awesome cut-scenes and content to fit on 4 DVD's.

Didn't you read the article about Tales of Vespeira PS3 and all the new content that it'll have that was left out of the X360 version because of space limitations? Well Square's going to offer that content that was left out of FFXIII thanks to the sh1tbox as DLC and considering how much xbots like to give to MS then... You know the rest of the story. A rip-off. Something like all those stories from developers that want to give free stuff on LIVE to the Xbots but Microsh1t does not let them.

Mart, Rage is has been confirmed by Carmack to be running at 60 FPS on ALL consoles when it releases sometime next year. Anyways, you just have to look at exclusives. PS3 EXCLUSIVES look miles better than 360 EXCLUSIVES. How do you explain that? Yea, some multiplats look better on the 360 but how do you explain that the 360 has not been able to put out anything remotely close to Uncharted, God of War or Killzone 2 even though it's had a year head start?

Simple answer: The 360 just can't do it. It's too limited.

@ wxer

Thanks for the link, it clears it all up:

"Carmack states that the Xbox 360 version of RAGE just about matches the 60fps framerate of the PC version, while the PS3 only runs the game at around 20-30fps at this stage in development.

Previously Carmack has stated that the PS3 is a little bit slower at running RAGE, but this is the first time we've been told by just how much. However, iD Software still intends to release all three versions at 60fps and they're confident they can achieve this. "

So, the PS3 version is running behind at the moment, thus holding up the development. It needs more hours of programming to get the stuff better, thus its delaying.

Furthermore, they THINK they can get the PS3 version up to 60fps, its not a definitive confirmation.

Last but not least, the PS3 prove from your link its the weaker console:

"The PS3 lags a little bit behind in terms of getting the performance out of it. The rasteriser is just a little bit slower - no two ways about that.

"The RSX is slower than what we have in the 360. The CPU is about the same, but the 360 makes it easier to split things off, and that's what a lot of the work has been, splitting it all into jobs on the PS3." "

There you have it. Rasteriser on the PS3 is slower. The RSX is slower and the CPU on the PS3 and 360 is about the same.

Conclusion, the PS3 isn't the best device for gaming purposes, the 360 is. Thanks for proving my point with proof in the link.

@ hderoses

awwww on one bubble and no one sees your comments?

EDIT

@wxer below

Indeed, he says he's 'confident'. He can't say anything else, otherwise PS3 owners already wouldn't pre order Rage if they were certain to get the inferior version.

Be prepared for the final news just before Rage releases or when the reviews come in. Rage 360 @ 60fps locked, PS3 version 20 to 30 fps variable and dropping down below 30 when its hammered with multiple cars on screen.

Something like Killzone 2 has framerate problems on 20fps and online shooting others that drop dead to the floor after 5 secs.

MART what f*cked up logic do you have mate... Firstly Uncharted 1 >>>>>> Any 360 exclusive (in terms of graphics)... FACT..

Secondly... GOW3 sh!ts on every 360 game.... I have read your post and the thing you complain about is the non moveable camera.... Have you ever played a GOW game??? None of them have a moveable camera.... Still it's rated as the best game last gen and so will GOW3 this gen... It's next years GOTY give some respect... Or better... Kratos demands respect....

And don't even get me started on that KZ2 60 million logic... M$ payed 50 million to get GTA4 DLC exclusivity... What did M$ get in return... Hardly anyone cares about the episodes... It barely bought M$ any funding (it sold well, but didn't bring as much as KZ2)... So Sony got a AAA title + an awesome engine at 60 million expense and M$ got 2 DLCs for 50 million... So who FU*KED up more bad eh????

Think before posting stupid posts....

"Killzone 2, simple. I don't know a 360 game that got 60 mln. to spend on an engine to get the graphics up to an E3 trailer, while the game overall is still generic."

Oh you don't. Well I do!! Its called TOO HUMAN and apparently its SH!TE. Anyways back to my AMAZING generic FPS on ELITE. DAMN its hard and GREAT! I would be jealous if I ever a saw a game on another console like KZ2!!

News just in:

xbox 360 holding back ps3 ghostbusters!
... oh wait.

xbox 360 GTA4 720p holding back ps3 GTA4 640p!
.. oh wait.

... and there's a score of further examples if you please.

Kinda makes me think that fanboys need to stop and assess the facts of the industry before they spout nonsense.
This kind of hype happens all too often.

The internet will blow up when the game is released and indeed looks better on the 360, or runs at a better resolution, or has sharper AA.. etc etc.

Just hope the mental health services are able to cope with the inevitable influx of suicidal ps3 fans, if that turns out to be true!

commodore64 - 122 days 14 hours ago

uh... it's not really 1080p, my good man.

it's 640p upscaled to make you think it is 1080p, when it's not, in fact.

But yah... carry on with your delusion. Sony loves you for it.

I'd say you wasted money on your 360. You can get the same and MORE for the SAME price with the PS3. Only ignorant consumers such as yourself would choose the 360.

Just shut the hell up Saaking. You are the biggest, saddest troll around. People are entitled to their preferences. If you like PS3 better, fine. But quit with your arrogant talking down at people. Some people like the PS3 better, some (like me) like both consoles equally, and some like the 360 better. It's all about individual preferences.

They would either be overhyped, pieces of trash like lair or haze, or they would be good games like killzone 2 that die off in two weeks. Devs know all of the real gamers are on 360. Haha, the PS3 gets treated like it has a disease 1/2 the price after a couple years for a "10 year console". What a joke.

Haha i think i told you this before but ill tell you again...

54% multiplats score higher on ps3!!! according to metacritic in 2009 and the number has been shifting in the ps3s favour since 2006.

So yeah, try to spin that.

@ amir

Tell me, how many of the reviews on metacritic are 'apples to apples' comparisons?
my guess is, none, which negates the validity of your argument, sorry.

Granted, if your stat is correct, then all we can reasonably conclude from that is that reviewers are 'taking it easy' on the ps3 scores! After all the vast majority of 'apples to apples' comparisons favour the 360!
There is so much evidence on the net on this exact topic, it's not funny.

How is it that so many impartial review sites conclude, in 'apples to apples' comparisons that the ps3 versions come off second best, yet you prefer to believe vague and ambiguous averages which have little direct comparative value?

I hope you can see the logic there.
Some Sony fanboys have trouble with it, believe it or not...

Amir51 - 122 days 16 hours ago

I suppose there is some truth in what you say, but i'd guess 50% of the scores are as you say 'apples to apples', and the fact that the proportion of higher rated on ps3 has been rising year on year since forever does, at least show that at this point, the scores are roughly on par.

Also, i do feel that even if there were slight differences that show up when 'apples to appleing', the fact that reviewers choose to ignore them only shows just how insignificant and petty the differences are. Wether they're in the favour of either console.

Bear in mind, your apples to apples arguement could just as well work in the 360's favour so it doesnt hold much weight anyway.

Anyway my whole point was to show how misinformed and delusional XBOX KINGS is, not to try and say PS3 versions fare better, and i think we can both agree on that.

commodore64 - 122 days 2 hours ago

Amir, you sem to have missed my point.

A comparison can *only* be called 'apples-to-apples' when we are directly reviewing the 360 and ps3 against each other, by comparing gameplay, screenshots, resolution, frame-tear, texture quality... etc etc.

Unfortunately, the review scores on metacritic are NOT doing that. Instead, they review each platform separately, with little to no correlation or comparative review value to each other bar the subjective judgement of each reviewer, which is then averaged and thus is subject to statistical error.

If there is a difference in these 'a-t-a' comparisons that is then subsequently 'ignored', as you said, then how does that justifiably extend to higher ps3 metacritic scores?
It seems illogical and is kind of a self-defeating argument, if you think about it.

After all, when people talk about the visual splendour of KZ2, we are CERTAINLY paying attention to these details.
Yet, when we talk about the multiplats we somehow don't - or at least downplay the differences, in the valid comparisons...

Weird, huh?
