FF13 Confirmed for PC?

We've all known for awhile that FF13 was being developed on PC using crystal tools and than being ported over to Xbox360 and PS3, but now a source seems to confirm that, along with Lost Remnant, it may too be released on PC!

I wouldnt take this as concrete, but it certainly seems to get my hopes up

Any other PC users that were considering buying a console for this game excited?

actually, if you look at the post times, it was immediate...

If they wanted too they could have made a lot more FF games for PC which they didnt, why would they start now that PC gaming is getting smaller and smaller? But I dont care if they release it on PC, question is will they make it for Blu-Ray or DVD?ronnet

I didnt want to get in a debate in the wrong forum..but, FF7, FF8 and FF11 were all ported to PC, 3 out of the last 6 isnt bad, but the important thing is that they are using a new PC development platform, "Crystal tools" which allows it to be much more easily ported to PC and XBOX360 (which is probably why we got it on XBOX360 in the first place as it was very easy to port over), but on the disc issues, PS3 will get Blu-ray and any other platforms (Wii..lol) will likely get multiple dvds due to the sheer amount of cinematics.

But anyway, to make this topic more forum related, Im glad that it came out on Xbox360, one more reason to not get a PS3..if only we could get a blu-ray player add-on :(

From a technical point of view, FF7 and FF8 were awful, so if FF13 is as bad as these two (again, strictly speaking of technology here!!!), i'd rather pass. Besides: What do you think were other games developed on? Certainly not ON the Playstation or Xbox but rather on a PC (or for Japanese Companies possibly on somd NEC PC-9800 ^^), so that alone does not really mean that a PC version could be possible.Sedoras

Im getting an XBOX360 this week so it doesnt really bother me :) , but Square themselves say the new PC development platform they use allows it to be ported to other platforms much easier than before, and if It can be ported to XBOX360, it can certainly be ported to PC which has more in common tech-wise with the XBOX360 than the XBOX360 has with the PS3.

Isn't Square using the unreal engine for some of their development?

In any case modern game development cannot survive on 1 or 2 ports they have to port to as many things as possible to make their bottom line or be crushed by the overhead created from polishing the shine on games.

Hell the console war model is costing the industry more and more in 5-10 years it will be abandoned.

FF7's graphics was pretty good when it first came out. Well, at least i was pretty impressed.
