Who here believes that the ps3 version of ff13 is a port and
that the 360 version is a port of a port?
Important EDIT: (supercedes other edits) http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/889/889012p1.html
this link provides an excerpt from e3 where a SE representative clarified that the game was being developed for the ps3 and then being ported to 360.
EDIT: Here I will compile a list of everyones opinions, if you do not vote either way i will try and figure out what your decision is judging by the content of your post.
EDIT2: If anyone has any reason why this is against forum rules, please let me know, i am new to the site, and the rules do not state that any of this is wrong. To clarify, I am trying to depict the prevelancy of a certain falacy that some have subscribed to for which i believe was developed as a slight against a certain console for no particular reason.
EDIT3: After 10 votes it is very interesting to see the results with 3 for being a port, 4 against, and 3 unsure. It's neat to see the split here.
EDIT4: some people do not seem to understand the question, here is a definition of port courtesy of the infallible wikipedia.
"In computer science, porting is the process of adapting software so that an executable program can be created for a computing environment that is different from the one for which it was originally designed (e.g. different CPU, operating system, or third party library). The term is also used in a general way to refer to the changing of software/hardware to make them usable in different environments."
wiki also defines this of game engines
"These tools are generally provided in an integrated development environment to enable simplified, rapid development of games in a data-driven manner"
EDIT 5: we are not using the term port as a translation from one plat to another. All games are ports in that sense. and all programs are ports of paper, or the brain. Right now the console is the primary target and the pc version falls by the wayside. We are talking about which platform it is being developed "FOR" like in the definition.
Both versions are ports
