So, FFXIII everything everyone hoped for out? At least from a demo?

So I'm still waiting for my import, but I'd like to know what everyone whose played it already thinks of the FFXIII demo. Was it good? Was it worth the import?

And one more thing...I don't speak a lick of Japanese. Is there some kind of menu translation floating around somewhere?

I like how the battle system looks, but if it was like XII, I wouldn't complain. I liked XII's battle system.

When I see the new trailer with the gameplay, I really question Killzone 2's ability to be ported to the other system.

FFXIII looks good... and if it can be ported, why not Killzone? (Sony owning GG aside, of course.)

That's my problem with Sony; they said Killzone 2 wouldn't be possible on any other console, and if XIII was still an exclusive, they'd say the same about it too.

Do you really want KZ2 ported? Or are you just mad about the fact that if FFXIII can be ported, then it must mean that they lied about KZ2 not beig possible on any other system. Thats just a marketing statement of you ask me. Of course KZ2 could be done on PC. Of course KZ2 could be done on 360(maybe not all in one disc though). The only game that has the right to say that is most likely Crysis.

No, just seeing your post got me thinking about my recent impressions of the FFXIII trailer, which got me thinking about how it looks really good for a multi-platform game when compared to an exclusive one like Killzone.

It's not that I want Killzone ported, because I don't really care about that. I'm just curious about whether Sony says these kinds of things just because the games are exclusive or because they're actually true.

Its most likely not the latter.

Your just seeing trailers not actually seeing the game in High Def or in your face. Killzone 2 is out now and you'd hope Final Fantasy 13 would look as good or better than Killzone 2 by the time it's released 2009-2010. On another note your just seeing it on PS3 it's japan only and ps3 exclusive there. The 360 is just a port, I won't argue graphics cause it will most deffinetly look about the same but you may have to downgrade on sound and disc. Besides I would only buy this on PS3 if you have both systems anyway to complete the collection with F13 Versus.

WHAATT !!! ff13 resembles ff 7 , train intro scene, people from the slums rebels against a evil cooperation,the first boss looks like the scorpion looking boss look from ff7,damm this is gonna be good.:)

Final Fantasy 13 can be done on xbox360 but its just gonna look alot worse,

and if xbox360 can do a ps3 equivalent of killzone 2 graphics, why hasn't any 360 game matched killzone2 or even metal gear solid 4 graphics yet....and ff 13 will supposedly have more and better graphics than then both of those games. :)

I can see where you are goin with this, but there are some things you need to remember.

1: Remember the flood of rumors that MGS4 was goin to be ported to the 360? Well as most of us know, Hideo Kojima himself stated that would not be possible because MGS4 was optimized to the PS3, meaning that porting the game would be tough to do. Plus, there would have to be major changes if the game was goin to be ported.

2: The gameplay is based on the PS3, in Japan, FF XIII is exclusive on the PS3 only. Thia alone squashes your question.

As great as FF XIII looks, the videos we see are not in the awsome quality we would see on an HDTV because the vids we see now are compressed even though (for example) Gametrailers.com proclaims them to be HD, they are not really.Killzone 2 right now shows how great the graphics can be in this gen, far supierior than any other game based on a console out now. Since FF XIII is still in development, it would be obvious that it will go much farther graphic-wise imo.In conclusion, you can't really question Sony on this one.

after DLing ff13 n gow3 demo on PSN, seeing it in HD on my 40inc, all i can say is i cant wait for these titles to come! shoot, i play those demos every now n then to remind me of what is ahead within a year's time frame, n the fact that they just look incredible! just waiting for ff13 versus demo to DL to salivate on too! 8)

So did any of you responding people actually play the demo? Because I clicked on the topic hoping to read of some impressions.JKnaperek

If any of you haven't read it, there's an article about the demo on IGN, about as long as a video game review. I didn't read it because I'm trying to not get my hopes up about it... it looks a lot like FF7 and that's a pretty tough act to follow. Expecting FF7 is the main reason I haven't really enjoyed a FF game SINCE 7 so I'm trying to detach myself completely and go into it without ANY expectations.

From what i know,it plays like ff x-2,real time battle system.

I really dont get these arguments of 'can it be done on the 360'. It most likely can but the point is that it is not. PS3 games look better than 360 ones(exclusives i mean) and thats how it is. The 360 has no Uncharted, no killzone and thats what matters.shabab12

I guess Gears Of War 2 doesn't look any good?

Not here to start any wars though, as I own both systems and they both have their advantages. But I have a feeling that both systems can play and run the same games, once they've been optimized of em. Hideo says that MGS4 would not be possible on the 360 without some major changes, and although it might be true, I think it's more of a programming thing. I bet MGS4 CAN be done on the 360. The graphics are great ,but nothing a 360 can't handle. I think what he means by big changes would be multiple disks and some changes in coding. You have to realize how different the 360 and PS3 are to program on em. I don't know personally but I've read enough interviews from developers to know they have to program certain things differently. A game that is specifically made with 360 in mind could also be turned to say it couldn't be done on the PS3. MGS4 was developed with the PS3 in mind and nothing else. However, if he wanted to, I'm sure Hideo could make the translation with pretty much nothing lost. The only difference would probably be the 360 having multiple disks. But this is all speculation.

I just don't agree that one console is so much better that the other cannot possibly play each others games. I think it's all in the programming and dedication of the developer.

I will admit, KZ2 is the best looking game I've seen. But I doubt the 360 can't match and exceed, just like I know another PS3 game can.
