1up - FFXIII on 360 runs just as good as the PS3, not a sloppy port

To clarify, 1up's Jeremy Parish says that, athough the PS3 version is the ideal platform for FFXIII, he was pleasantly surprised that the 360 version runs just as smoothly as the PS3 version.

It's good to know that the 360 port isn't sloppy and the only thing negative he says is the disc swapping, and the PS3 version might have better audio. Also to note, he says he didn't get a chance to see both games side by side. But he was still impressed how good Square-Enix ported the game to the 360.

The Xbox 360 port was developed in parallel with the English localization, specifically for international audiences. That sort of situation almost always amounts to compromised ports and lackluster technical performance.

It was therefore a pleasant surprise when I discovered FFXIII runs just as smoothly on 360 as it does on PS3. It's a brisk, action-packed RPG with tons happening on the screen at any given time (and the series' requisite flashy visuals cranked up to full throttle), yet I didn't see a hint of slowdown or choppiness or screen tearing or any of the other visual hiccups that serve as hallmarks of a sloppy port. Admittedly, I didn't see the two versions running side-by-side -- the bus set them apart with a looping trailer dividing the kiosks -- but I honestly saw no tangible difference from my time with the PS3 version.

I know people were worried that FFXIII would be compromised when it was announced for the 360. This article should ease some worries and 360 owners should be excited that FFXIII will be great!I know I criticised the game for being linear, since FFX is my least favorite game. But I always said I'm still looking forward to playing FFXIII. I'm glad to hear this. I'm glad to hear that the 360 version is a good version.

I guess I need a new hard drive.

Not surprising seeing it's much easier to port a game from ps3 to 360 rather than 360 to ps3.

Happy to hear that.

So much for "bubuteh ps3 version will be teh graphical superior" nonsense.

Should...should I be disappointed that it does?siLVURcross

Some people will be.

I´m not surprised.

Still, dont buy the 360 version guys. Let the next FF be exclusive to PS3. Drakes_Fortune

The way you love the series so much, it would seem like you would want as much people to enjoy it as possible. Guess not.

Just for that, I hope VS 13 goes multiplatform also, or the next FF is Wii exclusive.

Or DS exclusive like DQIX! :P

Why would he be surprised that it runs just as well?

I'm not convinced the PS3 one will be better right now, considering a lot of multiplats look clearer and the textures look better on the Xbox. Even if it is a port of it, it may end up looking better... I guess we'll have to wait for a graphics comparison.

This ^

Basically the game was built on the PS3 and then ported to the 360 so those issues shouldn't exist.

of course it runs good, they had to dumb down both versions because of the 360 so that they would both run the sameRenzokucant

THIS^^^ Don't deny it either lems,we've heard of this happening throughout the past year

No i really dont have a problem with it if it doesnt affects the game. Who are you to tell me otherwise? I even used to say it was stupid to praise Versus just cause it was exclusive to Ps3.
