Will FF13 show the true difference (if any) between the 360 and ps3?

Other than the number of disks for the consoles. Do you think ff13 will show the differences in terms of potential between the two consoles? rsoxguy12

Multiplats are never gonna show the difference between two systems. They are always made with the lowest common demoninator in mind and avoid taking advantage of one consoles strength if the other console lacks there.

SE will downgrade the PS3 version so it's the same as 360 version and Microsoft won't sue them just like GTA4.

LULZCOPTER jk before the stampede runs over me.

But anyway it'll probably end up like Burnout where PS3 version looks/runs smoother because it's the lead-platform but that's about it, and 360 will have 4-5 discs.

Well, I saw the second sentence, if you can call it that. I haven't been posting in a while so I've been missing out on much of the internet slang. I apologize if that statement confused you. No, as a matter of fact you should apologize to me for having me read your "2nd sentence".

The PS3 version has been in development since 2006. If Square-Enix keeps their word the PS360 version will release in late 2009 or early 2010. The Japanese version is coming in 2009 for sure. Compare 3 years of development to 1 and half years of development. Either they'll dumb down the PS3 version or they'll rush the 360 version. Its all interesting really, if the exclusive PS3 version and Versus XIII are better then the North American PS3 version. Fans will know something is going on. Another reason why i'm importing.OutlawStarXIII

What people seem to be forgetting when comparing this "development time" between the ps3 and 360 versions, is that a good chunk of the development time is used coming up with characters, story, monsters, locations, concept art, etc, etc.

That stuff has already been hashed out completely, so it can be skipped when it comes to developing the 360 version. All that needs to be done now is making the game.

They just need to port it, it's not like developing a new game. It prolly will take less time than the localisation of the japanese version for the US and Europe.

we will have to wait and see. But if I were to guess at potential differences...

1. We will finaly see what difference Blu ray realy does when it comes to the look of the game. Carmack has already stated similar. The crystal tools engine is a super high tech engine far beyond anything on the marked atm and it will take up space on the disc.

2. We will also see what difference the cell does. Crystal tools where originaly developed for the PS3 but moved to be multiplat engine so it should optimize both CPU's and GPUs to their fullest. Though the 360's GPU is said to be alittle stronger then the PS3's we have never seen a multiplat game of this level that will have a field-day on the hardware. ANd this will probably be the game to determin who's CPU is the strongest. And since they fisish the game on PS3 first and then make it on the 360 both versions of the game will be optimized for each hardware.

Yes, the 360 version will be better.torontomapleafs

The PS3 verision will be the better one. I mean the PS3 is the "main console" that its being developed for. Vectah_Sigma

thats what im thinking

[QUOTE="torontomapleafs"]Yes, the 360 version will be better.zomgwtfbbqlol1

Give the leafs a couple more years and than you will regret switching teams.

Their has not been one Multiplat that has scored better on the PS3 than the 360. Their has however been multiplats that scored better on the 360 than the PS3 despite being launched later.

Multiplats are never gonna show the difference between two systems. They are always made with the lowest common demoninator in mind and avoid taking advantage of one consoles strength if the other console lacks there.

Final Fantasy XIII was in development for the PS3 long before the 360 version was announced. I have a feeling the PS3 version will be superior, I don't think they'll be as similar to each other as GTA 4 was.

exactly..which does that mean they just started working on the 360 version afew months ago.

i personally think the reason why the game was hold off for so long was to not only give square enix time to improve on the game,but to see how the 360 will fair in sales.

square enix gave hints about supporting the 360 years before that announcement was made.

I will think that because the PS3 version has been in development longer it will run smoother. Overall though I don't think there will be any glaring differences unless Square really rushes the 360 or the PS3 version.Wasdie

honestly prolly the ps3 im guessing will have some special features...however it will run smoother since it was designed on ps3...i mean a port generally runs worst...the bigger the game=bigger port=bigger notice in worst preformance...

ps3 version>x360...thats fact...

however dont buy a ps3 just for a better version of FF13, if u own a x360 then ur good to go.

I have a hunch it will. Even then people will just call foul on SE and say the White Engine wasn't optimized well enough for 360.Tiefster

you mean Crystal tools :P

and the engine is a muitplatform engine.

what multiplat scored higher on 360?, and until the start of this year multiplats where made on the 360 1st.

anyways like i siad b4r this is developed on the PS3 1st along wiht the engine, and will be ported to 360, and considering its not even going to be in japanese i bet it will be a half assed job (but still a good job), bcz Japan is square's BIGGEST fanbase. neways bash the 360 as much as u want but it will only lead u to nohting just like the Toronto Maple Leafs

Its not gonna be some simple port. They are changing the Crystal Tools enigne to be otimized for each console to get the strengths of both.

The 360 version hasn't even started yet. The PS3 version is thier main focus. S-E doesn't even want the 360 dev kits there as they work in the PS3 version seeing as the PS3 version gets the main focus.

all the more reason for me to believe they have started development for it in some shape or form. Im sure the ps3 version right is they're main focus,but i just doubt that they didnt even start the 360 version yet.

personally i think square enix said they havent started on the 360 version yet to maintain the trust of the ps3 fanbase. think of what the reaction would've been if square announced they have been working on the 360 version for over a year now

Doubt it, they are assembling a different team to develop the 360 version, but as on anything taking shape or form. Probaby not. I doubt they said that to maintain the trust within the PS3 usrbase because they gave them FF Versus XIII as a worldwide exclusive and PS3 owners can play both not just one.

Seeing as their is no Japanses version of the game and the english localization is not progressing that fast.

Face it, theres no 360 version yet. This pisses me off, because they will be a delay. Im pretty sure of it and no extras (stated) which really pisses me off. GS has an artcle also quoting on Toriyama that they don't even want the 360 dev kits and aren;t even worried about it. Lucky japan *sigh*
