FF13 Now for Xbox!!!!!!!! *shit brix*

[Darkangel]

I just hope the Xbox doesn't bottleneck the game. If it was still PS3 exclusive it could have had truly amazing visuals, MGS4 is a good example of what the PS3 can do. Also using up a whole Blu-ray disk, they might have been able to have a fully voiced game. Sure you can have more than 1 disk on the Xbox but I'm sure Square will want to have as few disks as possible, which could influence them to not put as much crap in.

It was unlikely it was going to be fully voiced anyway. Hell Final Fantasy 12 didn't even have text speech for everyone. The issue is not with disk space,more with not enough content for everyone to speak. Blu-Ray is mainly useful if they intend to put multiple languages on the same disc otherwise a duel-layer DVD with compression should suffice,Mass Effect etc have done well with DVD.
And the white engine doesn't even utilize the full power of the PS3, it only uses four of the six synergistic processing elements of Cell. It's not the 360 that will bottleneck the game more the Complexity of Cell. Square have already said they are finding the PS3 a real challenge, and not everyone can invest so heavily on the PS3 like MGS.

Final Fantasy ..huh? sounds kind of gay

That video brings to light some very real issues and frightening shortcomings of gamers everywhere who are too deeply emotionally invested in their console of choice. Potentially very dangerous and always very scary (esp. if you choose differently).

FF Vs XIII is still a PS3 exclusive as far as I know, so why be so damned sad about this? If MS gamers want to play any of the other ones, they have to play on consoles other than MS's anyway, so what is the problem here?

I'm prejudice against anyone, ANYONE who owns a PS3.

It will still look the same, as they have stated numerous times that it is being developed on the PS3 as the lead platform and being released in Japan first. Only then will it begin the translation process for the English-speaking territories and the porting to the 360. PS3 fans have little to worry about in terms of performance as it will be thoroughly optimized for their systems.

Which is funny since other smaller companies without the pedigree of a SE are not complaining and are doing brilliant things (Sucker Punch, Level-5, Quantic Dream, and Media Molecule come to mind).

Yes, but not much is expected from them. PS3 users expect alot more from Square than those little companies. Square are expected to make FF13 uses the full potential of the PS3 and look as good if not better than MGS, and if they don't live up to that hype then they will get a lot of stick.

Yes, but not much is expected from them.

I beg to differ here. A LOT is expected from titles like Little Big Planet and the hype machine will only get more insane as it approaches launch. Heavy Rain is another that has generated some good hype since the emotional debut trailer. I have no doubt we will see much more of it soon. inFAMOUS will undoubtedly draw direct comparisons to Prototype, but they did marvelous things with the Sly Cooper series on the PS2 and so a lot is expected of them too from the fans.

Don't forget White Knight Chronicles (or Story or whatever you want to call it).

 

[Kyorisu]

Tough to impress, huh?

Yes my interest in video games is directly correlated to the amount of weather craft in the air, but all I see is swamp gas.

/serious mode

Square goes multi-platform, sells lots of shit. Massive profits are had. Everyone wins.

Cheap upgradeable blu-ray player. Get off your high horse and come mill around with the other peasants.

It won't, they actually recopy a lot of the same file several times on the Blu-ray disk to help componsate for load times. It should fit on 1 disk, and if not then 2 disks should suffice.

The actual system itself shouldn't bottleneck the game, MGS4 was said to be able to easily be put on the 360 by Kojima himself, wasn't it?

Aren't Blu-ray players now cheaper then the PS3? And why do people honestly care about system exclusives, all these fanboys revolting that FF13 is now on the 360, why the **** do they care, they don't get to see any of the money Sony, or Microsoft makes.
