Gaming - FF13 Port status - View Post

 Lol, now the PC version (If it comes out) will be the port (Even if it was the development platform)...

Let me ask you something...

If a new game, announced by X company claims that the game is exclusive to the PS3, and the game can only be made (Or is only possible) on the PS3, and later the company claim that the game will come to the 360, (Getting busted by the "Only possible on the PS3" comments), then a few months after the launch of the game, the game is announced to the PC, and is discover that the PC version was the development platform (It was developed on the PC but only published on the PS3/360 at first).... which one is the port and which one is the original???

the port will be which ever one was changed to be workable on the different platform. If a PC with same system specs as ps3 ran the game better than the ps3, then obviously the pc is the true version.

Hmmm, i'm thinking that you believe this is some kind of fanboy thing i'm hanging onto, which is why you are so persistent in not understanding me. Well, get over it, because i haven't liked ff series for a long time, and i am glad that people who do like it are going to play it.

My whole motive for this argument is to stop people saying the ps3 version is a port because they have some kind of animosity and are trying to make the games equal (which they already will be more than enough for you to have to resort to name calling and mud slinging)

Hint, Console versions are port of the PC build, and I´m not making it up, Devil May Cry 4 is another proof, first, PS3 exclusive, later, multiplat, later they said that it was made on the PC first and the port it to the console, finally a PC version with stable framerate, better resolution, more content... etc, the same goes for FFXIII... but hey is like wasting words, you don´t get it...

Yes DMC4 is a great example. I totally agree. But you have no facts to show that this is the case for ff13, you are implying that all games programmed on a computer make them computer games first and foremost. that's not entirely true, as most games programmed on a pc will not be ABLE to run on a pc.

BTW porting from the PC to the PS3 and later to the PC again will be extremely dumb, but hey if thats how you think, lets be grateful that the devs are more intelligent...

no what is going to happen is that they will stop using the engine to build the game eventually so that they can get all the extra coding possibilities with the ps3 (graphics/shading/etc). They will then take this and translate it to 360, changing some things to get it all sorted out. The 360 version may end up looking better than the ps3!!! After that wthey will go back to the code before they touched everything up and touch it up using the c/c++ or whatever the pc language is and release that as the pc version.
