PS3 Version Of FFXIII Downgraded Due To 360

[Garnett]

I wanted to post this because there's been loads of threads created in confusion over the article 
There was some sitehttp://www.uffsite.net/news/232/ff13-graphics-changes-in-action.htmlreporting that FFXIII has seen a downgrade, and so GT has been spewing with hate all day.


'Newer build' is WRONG
That build was originally shown in October 2008 in TGS closed theatre, but has just recently been released to the public on a DVD. So people are assuming this recently released footage is new, but it's not.

It's the same build (if not older) than the demo which they released to the public earlier this year.
Stupid websites don't even know what they're talking about.

Proof
The audio of the TGS08 trailer leaked onto the internet one day after it was shown;http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/2008/10/13/tgs08-final-fantasy-xiii-trailer-leaked-audio.htmlThis is the exact same trailer as that which was released publicly this summerhttp://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-final-fantasy/50923(goto the end) - this is the same build as what is claimed is the 'newer' build in the OP

And since the demo (that build) we've seen an even newer build of the game (which fixes hands and shadows etc) 

(These are screengrabs so forgive the quality)


You can see it's a newer build because the shoulders are softer and both Snow and Lightning have a necklace, which isn't there in the apparent 'newer build' from that article


(left) 'Newer build' as claimed in article. (right) Actual newer build

so for all we know it probably looks a lot like that first image (which was a target render/PC render)

So in short; The 'newer build' in those images is actually the same as the demo build (if not older) and since then we've seen more recent, better looking builds (E3 09).
So stop screaming 'downgrade'- because that site is comparing an old build of the game with target renders
