Blimey every 360 running this is going to combust! | |
HYP MOAR. Seriously though, load times were really rough even back in the day, how bad could it be? | |
And even further - who says this isn't bollocks? The correct statement would have been 'We've been pushing the PS3 as far as we could', which doesn't say it's at its limits. Anyone who's seen, say, Persona 4, will agree that pushing a console to its limits takes a lot of time. DISCLAIMER: I neither have a PS3 nor intent on buying one. | |
Fantastic. The game is going to look amazing. Whoop-de-doo, it's an FF game, of course it is. Frankly, I think the series has been focusing too much on being at the cutting edge of graphics and not enough at being a genuinely fun series. I still enjoy it, but let's change priorities Square. | |
Well, I'm guessing the PS3 will actually be able to run FFXIII. Though, the price of the PS3 makes it just about as accessible as Crysis. Anyway, I can't wait to see it in action on my new 42" plasma in my room. Only like another 3 years, right? | |
I am gonna rent this, JUST to see is I will be 360-less. | |
I can see my 360 red ringing after i get this game | |
Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power level? | |
That makes no sense...
IT'S OVER 9,000! | |
The lights in our houses will flicker from the juice that game will pump! And once we get to 100% of the PS3's power, what's next ? | |
Gonna be able to fry eggs on my 360 when it's running this. And by "this," I mean disc 1 of 10 that the game will come on. | |
It's OVER NINETHOUSAND!!!!!!!1111 Well let's see because it's hard to believe. | |
I'm glad I own a PS3 then, I'll definately be PS3ing this rather than Bawksing it. | |
I thought the BluRay feature was a bigger selling point than all that theoretical talk about "potential performance" that makes about zero difference for the customer? And yeah, how much will that 100% claim really amount to when it's a cross-platform game? And more importantly, when will it actually come out? They've been working on this for so long I wonder if they're going to make their dev costs back or bleed due to cost overrun. | |
I forgot a word woops! I'm just assuming that if the ps3 version is using 100% of its power I hate to see the 360 version | |
Please, Sony have been hopelessly trying to get some groundbreaking games on it and after the completely disappointing Killzone 2, LAIR and MGS4 its only got this to redeem itself, and I am ready to see it flop. plus why are people going on about the graphics? i've seen equal graphics on Dead or Alive 4, and if they are super graphics like they say then its going to lag like no one buisness. | |
plus Blueray is overrated, there isn't enough improvement over DVD to make it the next big advance | |
I can hardly believe they will be able to push it to the limit. If the demo is only using 50% then they have a whole lot of fucking work to do to push it to 100% till the full release. Either this comes out in 5 years with optimized code or I call bullshit. | |
Anyone got bets how many discs this will take for 360? | |
100% will barely make a difference from 50%, no one will even notice the difference. Besides, Uncharted used 33% of the ps3's raw power and it had amazing graphics. Then Uncharted 2 got announced that it's going to use 100% and yet there's barely an improvement. | |
I sincerely hope that FF13 will be good. | |
You certainly can't see it, but I laughed. It will be interesting either way. I could care less about the number of discs though. Where the hell is Mazty? | |
Well considering a Blu Ray disc usually got filled with Pre-rendered cutscenes (e.g. Resistance) and FFXIII will no doubt have an arse load of these, I would say at least 2, perhaps 3, we shall see. Not like it matters though. People really shouldn't try and use this as gloating fodder unless something was cut out. | |
Just one thing.. How many times did someone claim to have used the PS2 to its full potential, only to see someone else push it even further? lets just wait and see.. | |
Oh their will be more than that, Lost Odyssey alone had 4 or so, and that game was not that beautiful to look at. And with how long FF games are, I'm expecting 5-7. Maybe I'm just pessimistic though. | |
hmmm, i usually purchase the 360 version of games as they are usually IMO better and i am an achievement whore... not to mention online but if I find out later in development that the ps3 version is superior I'll get it for PS3 | |
I was being overly optimistic. It doesn't matter either way though, as it won't really impact the gaming experience much in my eyes. If I'm honest I just want the thing on PC, and Square striking a deal with Valve gives me that hope... | |
Optimism and games rarely go together. I'm not even going to buy this, just rent it when it comes out. | |
I hope wherever you rent this game from does monthly rentals, because no way in hell are you going to finish it in, how many days can you rent games for? (I'm surprised people still rent games actually, most of the Blockbuster Video shops in Britain are shut down) | |
I am one of the few people who rent, the rental stores are usually empty save for some shut-ins. I rent because I either A) Finish the game quickly. B)Hate it and turn it in. C) The most important, I only buy games I know I will enjoy that also have great replay value. So FF 13 will probably fit in the latter but not the former. | |
so basically the Crysis of the console | |
wasn't Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2 supposed to push the PS3 to the limit? | |
How about they put all of that power into making a fighting system that doesn't suck?
I rofl'd when I read that | |
Refer to this.
I don't know what's going to happen, but this is obviously the making of the hype machine. I'll give Squeenix the benefit of the doubt, but I'm pinching alot of grains of salt. I'll believe them once I see more gameplay footage than the one in the trailer (if there is more PLEASE LINK IT!!!!!!!) | |

Final Fantasy XIII Will Use 100% of PS3's Power
FF13 Producer Yoshinori Kitase told Japanese gaming mag Dengeki PlayStation that the final version of the game will push Sony's monolithic powerhouse to its limit.
While the Final Fantasy XIII demo included with Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete - hitting Japan in mid-April and the States this June - will only push the PlayStation 3 to "about 50 percent of its power," the team at Square-Enix is looking to bring all of the PS3's vaunted resources to bear on the final product.
Silly allusions to Dragonball Z (We are only using a fraction of the PS3's true power! Bwahahahaha!) aside, one has to admit that if the claim ends up being true, it'll be quite the feat. The PS3's selling point this console generation is the power lurking beneath its sleek black frame and a game that supposedly shows the full potential of what the hardware can do might be an interesting attraction for undecided buyers.
On the other hand ... while FF13 will be exclusive to the PS3 in Japan only - in the west, it will be simultaneously released on the Xbox 360. If the RPG will indeed be pushing the Sony console to the limit, how will the 360 version fare - and will it be enough to swing the tide of the console war back in Sony's direction as far as the West is concerned?
Furthermore, FF13's long development time might mean that by the time it is released, it won't be quite so cutting edge anymore. I mean, we already have Crysis - who's to say that PC games won't keep pushing that margin?
