Support NeoGAF

[Kagari]

At least PC is in there.

 

[borsdy]

Trophy support?

 

[Diablos]

For some people this might be systemwars, at least, if they want it to be... but to me it's just a harmless comparison.

 

[h3ro]

Trophy support?

:lol

 

[Kagari]

Trophy support?

No.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Looks the same to me, but I'm going to be picking up the PS3 version because I missed out on the 360 version.

 

[mintylurb]

No.

Trophy support patch: $3.99 Berieve!!

 

[borsdy]

Thanks for the infos

:lol

yea?

 

[h3ro]

Thanks for the infosyea?

Sorry for my reaction, but I think Burnout Paradise is going to be the first third party game to support trophies. No way a Japanese dev would do the same.

 

[Dark Octave]

The 360 was darker in one scene and another scene the PS3 had foliage and a blur effect on a light/sun rays. Other than that, it's a coin toss.

I've seen this sort of mind state twice before, why is this?

I've seen this sort of mind state twice before, why is this?

Some JPN devs just don't know how to work the online space (of which content patches such as Trophies are a part of), Namco Bandai are pretty much the worst offenders of this with the way they handled Katamari (release day 100KB keys to unlock content on disc), SCIV (ridiculous DLC charges for things like costumes, etc) and on and on.

I just think we won't be seeing any sort of patches for JPN developed games that have already been released, especially one that releases in Japan first followed by a worldwide release like Trusty Bell/ES. Until Sony mandates them (Probably now in effect) in all games, no reason for them to put the effort into a niche title that will sell to it's intended target, trophies or not...

 

[thuway]

Well the game is out in Japan, someone get those script additions in here.

 

[Cdammen]

Well I do see some differences in lightning and water reflection but I don't really give a damn. It's pointless making comparisons.

 

[Subtervotion]

The green light coming through the doorway there is a bit weird looking in the second shot.

This. It's the only difference i can see in the screen shots.

P.S. Eternal Sonata was AWESOME!

 

[burgerdog]

I didn't notice any difference other than small loss of detail on this shot in the ps3 version.

360

PS3

 

[alistairw]

Two reasons why bandwidth was wasted here:

1. They both look the same.

2. ES is a crappy game.

I'm with this dude.

PS3

I think the detail is still there, actually. Look at the pillar and you'll notice that there's a harder light on the 360 version that makes the normal mapped details on the bedpost more apparent.

 

[thuway]

I think Namco / Bandai might have made these changes intentionally. Even so, I already own the game on the 360, I just want to know if the script changes make the story bearable.

 

[Witchfinder General]

Eternal Sonata was a lovely, mature game.

Simple? Yes, the game was very linear and suffered from limited enemies and a very linear game but that's only a problem if you expected something with the budget of Final Fantasy.

As long as you can find a copy that's been discounted then I suggest anyone who likes RPGs and is willing to try something different give it a shot.

 

[Speevy]

Wow. That's quite a difference. I mean, it's like...wait, not it's not.

 

[Mohonky]

What's with the lighting in the PS3 version? It's non-existent in the doctor / chopin scene and harsh as in the sewer scene....

I suppose if you call the generic 12 year olds you play as as "mature."

"Mature" is something like ... I don't know, the Shin Megami Tensei games.

 

[makingmusic476]

The lighting coming through the opening on the right in those sewer shots looks off. It looks much harsher and defined on the ps3 version, and more realistic in the 360 version.

Anywho, I can't wait for this game. Chopin ftw.

 

[purg3]

Look at the waterfall in the first pic, lighting is better on 360 version. Doesn't really matter much though.

Except the characters were facets of Chopin's personality and represented different elements of himself as he grappled with the concept of death.

How many games intersperse detailed excerpts of a noted musician's life between chapters whilst playing hauntingly beautiful classical music?

 

[speedpop]

This thread shows that some people on GAF take things way too fucking seriously.

I never knew Chopin had a loli side.

And how many of them actually linked with the story more than a passing causality? This game could have been about some made up composer and interspersed details of their life and it would still work the same way. You're taking the link farther than it should be simply because it's Chopin.

The moments of his life were a welcome aside, but hardly the game unifying function that you imply it to be.

I never said they were inexorably tied to the gameplay, rather it was a nice way of contrasting the more vanilla aspect of the JRPG.

 

[Pachinko]

So it has the same look as every 360 to ps3 port- that is the say if textures could be set at a quality level like a jpeg image, the 360 version is at 100% and the ps3 version is around 90%, almost imperceptible difference. PS3 version winds up looking a tiny bit softer because of that change and going by the dungeon screenshot, the lighting must have been handled a bit diffferently.

Virtually identical.

 

[manzo]

Seeing from the videos that are at yoda.dip, the PS3 version is missing the sparkling water effect and saving takes like half a minute.

Very nice port, almost identical.

Looks like the the lighting in to doorway section isn't being rendered properly in the PS3 version and they never bothered to fix it.

I don't blame them. All the missing effects are so scarce and unnoticeable.
