Members Kerouac Posted March 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 Let's focus on the real issue here, which is that God of War III will rip Final Fantasy XIII's head off and {censored} down its neck. I gotta admit, I'm excited about that. I haven't finished GoWII yet though, so even though I pre-ordered it, it'll be awhile before I get around to it.

Members Extasyguy Posted March 9, 2010 Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 So you've played it? Does it feel like a polished ready-for-release product? There are MANY reasons game graphics can get changed. You have no way of knowing them. Fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrVisual Posted March 9, 2010 Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 Says who? Has someone actually measured? The 360 can upres just fine too.edit: 720p, apparently. 1080p that aint. PS3: 720p gameplay, 1080p CGI360: 576p everything Yes, it has been measured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Extasyguy Posted March 9, 2010 Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 The 360 version is worse no matter how you look at it.http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-final-fantasy-xiii-face-offRead it.PS3: 720p gameplay, 1080p CGI360: 576p everythingYes, it has been measured. I like this quote: " However, by just about every measurable criteria, it seems that the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII is a quick port where the existing PS3 material has been very roughly manhandled and bludgeoned into shape in order to work on the Microsoft console. " ..and this is Eurogamer who many accuse of MS bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerEvil Posted March 9, 2010 Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 To me it looks like the PS3 screens are sharper. I assume the 360 graphics look softer due to some compression as blue ray holds more info. I have both systems and a couple really nice TV's. Maybe I'll do my own comparison and shut the {censored} up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey whatever. Believe what you want. Everyone whos played the demo (you dont have to live in Japan since every PS3 game is region free) says the same thing as me. Dont you have a PS3? Im surprised you find that so unbelievable after playing games like Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, GOW3 demo, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phishmonkey Posted March 9, 2010 Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 I don't get these critics bitching about how it's linear When have Final Fantasy games ever been examples of brilliant open-ended game design I think pretty much the whole first disc of FF7 was a straight line, and the only time you do go non-linear is to do some dumb {censored} like chocobo breeding FF 12 was really non linear, but it wasn't really a typical Final Fantasy game either I'm not sure if I'll pick it up. I've been trying not to buy new games now and there are others I've been meaning to get that are less likely to disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pamackie Posted March 9, 2010 Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 FF 12 was really non linear, but it wasn't really a typical Final Fantasy game either FF12 was fantastic. I actually enjoyed playing it. It was relatively fast and open, hard as hell, and the plot didn't suck a bucket of balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im surprised you find that so unbelievable after playing games like Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, GOW3 demo, etc. between the idea that Square completely gutted the game's graphics in the less than a year between demo release and japan street date; and the idea that console fanboys are just {censored}ing irrational kooks, ill go with the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RiffDaemon Posted March 9, 2010 Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 If I absolutely hated VIII, IX, and X, is there any hope for me in enjoying anything about this one? (I'm dead serious. This is not a troll post.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kerouac Posted March 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 I kinda want to buy a DS just so I can play the sequel to Final Fantasy II/IV. I think if Square Enix did one of those as DLC it would be huge... like Capcom and Mega Man 9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
