It seems our fears have come true and the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will indeed be a crippled one. The Xbox version only runs at 1024×576 with 2xAA while the PS3 version runs at 1280×720 2x msaa. It is far from optimized to be a perfect port, and many compromises have been made.

For instance, the trees in the background are removed, and low resolution textures for the ground are replaced in the 360 version. There’s no telling what else they had to remove in the 360 version. This means that the original screenshots posted by Square were *cough* a white lie, and their new ones supplied are accurate.
(Square left their mouse pointer in their Photoshop edited original screen caps, and were caught, previously.)

At times, the PS3 ports are crippled as well, such as Bayonetta. That game was also not optimal for the game system. All fanboy-ism aside, there are politics and programming issues aside from pure horsepower that dictate good ports.

If you have both a 360 and a PS3, these screenshots should help you decide in which one is the best to take. Another thing to mention is that Xbox will be using 3 discs and will not have cinematic scenes in 1080p. The ps3 version will be a one disc solution with 1080p cut scenes. This is highly unfortunate, as Square’s debut attempt to gain new Xbox fans has fallen flat.

I guess its fair to say to leave your Gears of War, Halo and Call of Duty gaming via. your Xbox, and leave the hardcore RPGs on the PS3.

Bonus: Leona Lewis stopped by to promote MY Hands along with Final Fantasy XIII.

FYI:

Xbox is reported to be only 18GB vs the Ps3 38GB! That 20GB’s is cut somewhere! Xbox version is REALLY screwed

^so you’re getting both the 360 and the PS3 version?!

Ah, thanks for the info Tuc. And no, I’m not made out of money. I don’t even have a job. =( I collect and sell. It’s a fun hobby for me and it helps me buy stuff I want. smile
<BLOCKQUOTE>AlexaNguyen said: Who would want to buy the Xbox version if they can get the PS3 version?? Doesn’t make sense.

I’m pretty sure I’ll play the game more than once, so why not play the xbox version to compare? And I’m only going to get that version after it’s been out for a while when it’s cheaper. Like I said, I like collecting stuff, especially when it’s Final Fantasy related. =D

You’re the money tree! jk , I’ll go with the PS3 vers.


Good thing I have both systems…

Anyway, wonder who I’m gonna give the review copy of this game too…

Square came out and said that these images were from different development stages in the game, that someone used the wrong screens for the PS3 version. I don’t know how true that is, but that’s their story anyway.

I think I’m getting both versions. I’ll get the PS3 version on the launch date and probably the 360 version later when it gets cheaper after a few months.
I still can’t get used to My Hands for the theme song. I’m fine with Leona Lewis doing it. The more promotion the better. But they could’ve used a different (better) song.
I so wanna go to the launch party! I signed up for tickets. Hopefully I could win them. Fingers crossed! smile

It’s because after they are published, the author loses the ability to edit the post. Only me, Hoc, or Jinra can fix it.

And you’re getting BOTH??? Made of money?? Hahahaha.
