360 and PS3 FFXIII engine work done 'simultaneously'

http://www.videogamer.com/news/360_and_ps3_ffxiii_engine_work_done_simultaneously.html


should be really interesting to see when both versons are finished

You heard it here first - I bet the 360 version will look better. SE has much more experience developing on the 360 than the PS3. Keltoid

however it was originally built for the ps3. They have been working on that version alot longer .

I think they'll both look similar, but SE do definately have more experience with the 360. Though the specific FFXIII team probably doesn't have all that much hands-on.

Orginally built using PC tools

"We contacted Square Enix, and according to the company, "The game is being built using PC-based development tools, but that doesn't mean it's being created for the PC platform. Our current plans are to release FFXIII for the PS3 and Xbox 360 only. Sorry for the confusion!" So to recap, it's being created with PC-based dev tools, but with plans only for PS3/Xbox 360 console release."

So that actually makes the port to xbox 360 extremely easy.

Well atleast it was just a warning! Could have been worse that is for sure.

Agreed

And on top

1. 360 version will have its own development time after the PS3 one, which means they will have a much better optimized engine by that time to tailor to 360

2. it is far easier to develop for, so far easier to optimize and reach near max capacity

3. nearly all multipltforms look and perform better on 360, especially the latest Fallout 3, Riddickand Resident Evil 5, which means as games get more complex, 360 goes even further ahead visually than PS3 than the less demanding multipltforms

4. as it seems they have been working on the engine for 360 for ages, and beeing easier to develop for means it will probably be far better optimized already

i am done wz all thiese arguements abt which version is better, plzzzzzz tell us something new.

Even if Xbox360 looks better (although I believe they'll look just the same). I'd still get the PS3 version.

Why? Coz PS3 has FFXIII and not to mention FFvXIII too... Compared to Xbox360 having only FFXIII.

It's kind of common sense what to buy if you love the FF series. :P

wait wait wait, cows kept saying that the 360 version hadn't even been worked on yet...

That's because the base game is built off of what has become a multiplat engine.

wait wait wait, cows kept saying that the 360 version hadn't even been worked on yet...

WilliamRLBaker

In a way it hasn't. The basic game is being worked on right now. It's currently being streamlined to run well on PS3. Later it will be modified to run smoothly on 360.

In what way ? Since the engine is beeing made the same time as on PS3, it is beeing worked on 360 for years

this game is gonna flop hard on the 360...............how well did LO sell in america again???........for that matter how well has any of 360 jrpg sold on the system in america........360 just isnt a jrpg system, they are wasting more money then making trying to bride companies for their games.

Syn_Valence

So much for all those who said the 360 version will be a port. I expect both versions to look similar.

opex07

That's not saying much. Valkyria Chronicles is still the best JRPG this gen.

Don't see how FFXIII can flop.

Syn_Valence

About 800.000 worldwide

Now how well did Valkyria Chronicles sold on PS3 ?

400.000 !!!!

So, FF13 could well sell double on 360 worldwide than on PS3

Especially considering that will probably look better visually, like nearly all mutlipltform titles on 360, and 360 costs just 199$

And of course having more disks in the package is always a huge plus for collectors like me

no in a way isn't what cows said they said absolutely no work in any way shape or form had been done on the 360 version that the ps3 version would be finished first, released to retail then the 360 version would be worked on.

On Final Fantasy XIII itself, I'm saddened that despite people owning both PS3 and 360 consoles the game will release on - because of Microsoft's greed, I, and EVERYONE else interested in the game must now wait not just for localization, but ALSO for the 360 port to fully complete (and play a very dangerous game of avoiding the spoiler deluge/coverage from Japan's earlier release) until both versions for International Release are complete, ONE OF WHICH IS BOUND TO BE INFERIOR, and I'm concerned neither version will be able to fully exploit the console system of choice as best as it could have were it to remain exclusive, harnessing the full extent of the abilities of either machine, all because MoneySoft wanted to take a bite out of its main competitor, Sony.

What could have been the greatest exclusive jRPG of this generation due to full costs towards research and development on a single console is now being relegated to at least 2 platforms of different architecture, putting a hindrance on what could have been 100% of an experience...

..And that frustrates me to no end.Brainhunter

and that has any thing to do with or being microsofts fault? its obvious from the use of moneysoft and other fun lil names you use for microsoft you have no real argument, but yes any ways how is that microsofts fault? isn't it square thats making the game? wasn't it square the ones that decided to release the game all so on 360? since not a single cow has proved that any money was exchanged, As for that your terms are wrong, If microsoft wanted it on the system and gave money to get it on the 360 then square are infact the greedy ones since they took the money offered if there was any money offered for that matter.

as for that why is one going to be bound to be inferior? you mean the ps3 version? because the 360 being the better, and easier system to develop for it can't be that system, since blu ray has yet again been proven by every recent release to be of no real benefit over multiple dvds, you have nothing to back up your argument * of which there really wasn't any* except your own speculation, if you have to blame any one blame square.

P.S: it has been proven in the past that if 2 games are engineered at the same time for their particular system they take advantage fully of that system, its when a game is simply ported over that problems occure.

I wouldn't be surprised if both look and ran identical.

Have a look at Valkyria Chonicles sales

Japan

US

Sum

Now Lost Odyssey on 360, a game from a company that is not even 1/1000000 as known as Sega

Japan

US

.

Now, Valkyria outside Japan sold about 200K and Lost Odyssey about 700K !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now i think it is not hard to guess why Square wants FF13 (and later i am sure FF13vs) on 360 outside Japan

Also after these news, the chances for PS3 version to look better are now zero, and for 360 to look better have gone up to 99%, like almost all mutlipltfrom games, and that one gets extra attention for 360 for many months after PS3 too

the ps3 version will have more jaggies less textures and a slightyl slower fps..bet on it..daveg1

You guys need to stop with the ''360 is more easy to work/code'' yeah at so point it is,but it has its pain in the butt moments,and just a bit more friendly than the ps3 architecture,but not by much.McdonaIdsGuy
