I don't understand the logic behind this so called "momentum" PS3 fans are talking about.

*Sony may have a released a slim model at the price that everyone wants it at, but they're still the same company that hasn't completely addressed the casual market. Coming out with their Gem controller might help since it'll be the closest thing to the Wiimote and will draw people who want the same thing. But they haven't changed their image, they're still all about "doing everything" out of the box, and not giving you options.

*Microsoft has had their Xbox 360 Arcade sku on the market long enough to compete with Wii and PS3 for price and value. They've had their Elite console specifically targeted at PS3, but Microsoft's biggest effort has been to compete with Wii since they're number one. They're not even concerned with PS3 atm.

*And that's because despite the two distinct sides of Microsoft's strategy to compete with two distinct rivals, the Xbox 360 experience is almost entirely modular. It can be as complete as you want or as budgeted as you want it. With Project Natal coming out they're giving you more options. If this was Sony they'd be shoving it down your throats, talking about true HD this and that.

Prerendered just means that what you're seeing is a video saved on the disc and that it's not being rendered in actual 3D graphics. And CG can almost mean the same thing if you use it the way most people use it, but it's not a synonym at all. CG means Computer Generated, which is what they say in film making to distinguish anything that's been made by a computer. CG is usually (duh) a movie in that case, but the graphics themselves can be considered CG as well. View

Finally :)

But the truth is that Squeenix could've taken the same effort they've done with XIII and made any of its other games better. And personally I think they need to move on from FF.

If they think they can come back to a world five years later and still have the same success as before well hopefully it's there. I know I used to have a better opinion of their company back in the 90s and early 2000's. That's why I support Mystwalker, and so far their projects haven't let me down. View

MT Framework was Capcom's entry into multithreaded game engine development, seeing how PC architecture has gone multicore and how both PS3 and 360 have multicore processors as well.

Development on MT Framewok is done just like how Squeenix has done FF XIII: build the game initially on PC and then port it over to the consoles. Xbox 360 doesn't limit the PS3 in either case since the hardware they're coming from in the initial build is PC. To say that Xbox 360 is holding back PS3 is an incorrect and ill-formed statement. 99% of PCs today still ship with DVDRW drives...the majority of PC games are released on DVD, and that doesn't stop me from running Crysis at 1920x1080p with 16xAA.

Or from running Quake 3 back in 2000 at 1600x1200 on my GeForce 2 GTS.

The game is in HD, has been viewed in HD, played in HD, presented in HD, and confirmed to be in HD.

PS3 fanboys need to try disproving subHD MGS4 instead of this. View

Well it did play its part in proving how successful console online gaming could be, and it'll be missed but honestly Xbox 360 picks up right where it ends. For those who haven't come over yet I'd be hard pressed to find a reason why not to. And there's still plenty of life left in 360 to jump in now, especially with all that's coming this year for Xbox 360. View

ps360owner is right, jrpgs haven't done nearly as well as last gen
Like Xbox 360 and its online shooter, PlayStation 2 became similarly synonymous with jrpgs back then. But honestly it's true that jrpgs have become very niche and as well as very generic. But they became generic because very few of them maintain as much freshness as an FF. And even still, FF is burning its fuel with every game.

They have to come up with 50hrs of UNIQUE gameplay and story EVERY TIME! That's some seriously HUGE and empty drawing boards to have to come back to for every game. View

I thought about that, taking the status and whole role thing out but still leaving the effects of your decisions. Basically unlabeling everything so it would be more fluid. It must be the Heavy Rain effect. View

Yep! They done Lucas proud (and Shatner too, lol).

Final Fantasy XIII is actually a very successful way to port games to other consoles, first develop it on PC and then port it to each console using a different engine tailored for that console. That way you don't get the nasty side-affects of one console not being used to its fullest potential, though they may have some major differences under the hood. But their actual visual appearance so far has been very uniform, gamers on both sides will be happy. View

The most popular games on Xbox 360 happen to be shooters not because that's all that Xbox 360 gamers want but because shooters lend themselves to being the best games to play online. And Xbox Live being such a dominant force means lots of gamers coming to Xbox 360 for their online shooter fix.

FEAR 1&2
GRAW 1&2
COD 4
MW 2
Gears 1&2
Halo 3/ODST
BF Bad Company 1&2

Xbox 360 only became synonymous with shooters because that's what gamers play the most on Xbox Live. But that doesn't mean that they won't play anything else. And stop acting like 360 gamers wouldn't know what FF is, many of us are adult gamers that have played games longer than a lot of you guys on here. Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Tekken, Final Fantasy, Mario, Zelda, Gran Turismo, these are all names that gamers EVERYWHERE know. View

Natal might make some real progress with games finally. It might be a major bummer though if Japan ruins it with their dating sims...I can only imagine what developers over there are already working on. Same goes for that pink-headed PS3 wand toy. View

You can tell the amateurs when they say never "see" Unreal Engine again. The game engine is just logic, it's a way to get things done. In the hands of the right developers it can be totally transparent to the gamer. Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect used the same engine and yet look so different. An example outside of UE3 would be how Rare made Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo off the same engine back in 2005, and how radically different they looked from each other.

UE3 did a lot for developers this gen and Mass Effect looks beautiful because of it. Gears of War continues to extend UE3's functionality so it'll always be the prime example of what UE3 is capable of. View

It's only superior if you want the highest resolution CG movies, but the games are identical in presentation. Especially since each version runs a different engine but the project itself was ported initially from PC. View

If you consider Mass Effect a wannabe rpg I think you need a checkup from the neck up. It's actually the greatest example of breaking the mold from traditional rpgs in gaming history.

But because it's western rpg it's a fail right? Here's what defines western rpgs (roughly):

-no random battles
-no effeminate pasty-faced characters
-no magic shiny crystals, magic shiny shoes, or magic shiny scarfs
-no cheesy anime-faux teen love stories
-no cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, chickens, pigs, hybrid fluffy stuffed animals, or any other cheesy pokemans

(with Fable being the exception on that dogs thing, but seriously it's to be found on just about ALL jrpgs) View

Best of wishes from all of us here at N Corp, the nation’s leading provider of titanium-reinforced fine-toothed rubber combs and gold-plated element115-isotope particle9 assembly-level built iridium-tipped laser-guided garbage disposal units, with our patent-pending vanilla scent!

This game owns Heavy Rain so easy: no bathroom pampering! Madison Paige is fugly. She suffers from cranial-rectal intrusion. View

That's okay, from what I've seen so far Heavy Rain is more for the kind of guy who needs his bathroom-pampering and eyelash painting fix.

You know, those PS3 fanboys. View

Are PS3 owners so spiteful of Microsoft getting Square Enix to release FF XIII on Xbox 360 that they need to keep posting fake news articles and flamebait posts?

Just imagine if MGS4 came out 360...it was already subHD on PS3 so it actually would've been an improvement. View

The original Mass Effect in 2007 already beat all 3.

Mass Effect 2 in 2010 further bashed their skulls in. View
