Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS3 Version Of FFXIII Downgraded Due To 360

Xoj on 04 September 2009

the engine it's not longer being pushed.
Square enix changed from "we will use the full power of ps3".
to "we will make them the same" a while ago.
it doesn't matter if the ps3 was polished first, it won't be pushed.
nomura said this in a interview, one of reasons versus still it's a exclusive was to avoid that. multiplatform rule.

^^it wont but they will reduce the amount of free roaming places so that both verisons are not that different. Why would SE do this? $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Half that article is complete and utter bullshit. Multiple DVD's won't affect pacing at all. How does the fact that the game is being put on multiple DVD's on the 360 affect in-game area visitation on either console in any way?

Also, when was it confirmed that there has been a graphical drop? I remember one topic where a bunch of people got angry because a supposed graphical drop, but it turned out that they were comparing CG to in game shots. I guess some people still haven't realized that the majority of what we've seen of this game pre-2009 was either not in game, or was running on PC.

I can't believe that people are still taking obviously biased articles like this seriously. I've lost count of how many have been posted on this site alone.

that depends on how square structure the game.

but assure you 360 version will have you re insert disc # ? to go back to some towns.

there is a a way to prevent that making the structure or the game different so u don't have to.

but that means downgrading ps3  open areas, so both consoles get the same.

not confirmed but highly likely, now that both consoles are the same =(.

i got the demo 1080p video its Stunning =(-

It's bullshit Xoj, because you have to assume one of two things.

A. That the game was multiplat from the start, and its design was originally inteneded for multiple discs.

or

B. Despite the game almost being completely on the PS3 at the time of the 360's announcement, its flow and structure, as well as story and pacing was actually monumentally shifted to accomidate for the lack of revisiting certain areas.

 

FFVII was on 3 discs. How's that?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

One thing that pisses me off, is that it takes one hell of a selfish gamer to wish that 20 million people would lose access to a game so they could have the option to choose Japanese language.

PS3 fanboys come up with these conspiracy theories like "FFXIII was a multiplat fro the start" in an attempt to tout the PS3's supposed gaming superiority, while flaming the 360 and the great betrayer, FFXIII.

Ya know what, the game is what it is. Buy it or don't. Stop worrying about potential, you are starting to sound like an elitist jerk, but it's a parody because you're only sporting a PS3.

Very true, then again there is something called an "unpleasable fanbase"

^ Dsister...Let me put this in an example you will understand...

This is the equivallent of if Halo 3 wasnt a MS sponsord IP and it was being ported to the Wii with th same release date...See the downgrade? would you love Halo 3 as much then?

Didnt think so.

Yes, I would still like it. I really do not care about graphics.

See, now your just lieing to me...That is Utter bullshit and we both know it...

1.) The graphics wouldnt be the only to suffer

2.) Pure processing power differential between Wii and 360 would kill 50% of the Gameplay aspects of Halo 3, at least...Think Conduit...Thats what Halo 3 would be.

 

 According to Saviorx(who actually owns a Wii) you are wrong

[9:07:26 pm] saviorx: ...........no, it wouldnt

[9:07:42 pm] saviorx: the online may miss one or two game types, but no

[9:07:51 pm] saviorx: gameplay would stay relatively the same

I cant tell if your being sarcastic or no noooooo!!!!



...uhh...ill just put my favorite quote of all time here.

"Welcome to Pain, the second of three...You have dealt the first...now deal with me!!"

Wow at the ps3 fanboys hate. You guys are acting like the graphics are going to be utter crap and make the game unplayable because of the 360. If it pisses you off that bad don't buy it. I'm sure that when XIII Versus comes out the graphics aren't going to "blow the XIIIs graphics out of the water". They'll be better I'm sure, but not "ps3 vs Wii" better. And Lost Odyssey was on 4 discs and I don't remember any areas I couldn't revisit on any disc (could be wrong on that one).

HAHAHA did you play FF7?, some towns and places were eaten out in disc 3, same for FF8.

some kind of time distort shit was added in the disc 4, so you couldn't go back to some places.

it was recommend never leave to the space in disc 3 to go back. and it sucked, u have to do everything even beat ultima weapon because u couldn't go back =(.

The gameplay shots shown before were nothing but bullshots so that has nothing to do with 360. The NA and EU versions of FFXIII will not have Japanese audio however it's just a few otaku's which will suffer and that is not a big deal. The voice acting for the English versions looks very good and if you want to play the game in Japanese get the Japanese version.

Simple as that, the 360 is not hindering the PS3 version at all. People are acting as though FFXIII will have English SO4 quality voice overs.

I'm kinda ticked at the Japanese voice thing >.

Rafi and other dude - The roaming thing is false..ok The PS3 version wont be effected by it..you act like FF13 just separated in to 3 bluray disk..you might have a point then but its still 1 disk on PS3
