Looks like FF12 quality.

 

[Mad_Ban]

If those aren't the result of a bad capture on Square-Enix's part, then wow.

It looks sub-HD in some of the battle shots, and HD in others (like this one).

 

[ZeroRay]

Wow, Square's PR sucks hard.

 

[Shadowlink]

Damn you SE!

Wow so those are actually screenshots from Squeenix, with the mouse pointer and all. :lol

Here's what happened. Squeenix is so lazy they haven't even bothered to capture proper 360 screens to go with their "promise" about fixing the alleged "mistake".

These are probably pathetic prntscrn grabs from the b-roll footage they released to journalists recently. Which may or may not be PS3 footage with the HUD tampered with.

 

[7Th]

...HD in others (like this one).

That's because the shot you linked is a PS3 screen released as a 360 screen; check the date.

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Indeed.

 

[Misterinenja]

Those pics are bullshit. :lol They look like screencaptures from a shitty video (mouse pointer!). There's no way the game is going to look like that (even if some of you hope it does).

 

[ULTROS!]

Is this the only decent pictures? :lol

 

[Dead Prince]

Let's just go with that's the ps3 shot with 360 button on it.

 

[Mandoric]

Oh wow if that's not an intern fucking up caps this thread is gonna explode.

(on the other hand, that's exactly what a shitty cap card and horrible PS export settings produce, so don't get too excited yet.)

 

[7Th]

Is this the only decent pictures? :lol

Look at the date; that's an edited PS3 screen. :lol

 

[PhatSaqs]

This is great food for the console warriors :lol

 

[fernoca]

New pic guys!!
Xbox 360 version of course!

 

[Dresden]

I think a comparison thread should be put up soon. This thread is going to go into the shitters soon.

 

[ULTROS!]

This is great food for the console warriors :lol

You said it. :lol

Is this Bayonetta all over again?

 

[danwarb]

Look at the date; that's an edited PS3 screen. :lol

It's an edited PS3 supersampled bullshot perhaps.

 

[badcrumble]

Oh wow if that's not an intern fucking up caps this thread is gonna explode.

(on the other hand, that's exactly what a shitty cap card and horrible PS export settings produce, so don't get too excited yet.)

The washed out color and the weird edges owing to some amount of image compression, yeah. But the dithering effect and the poor texture filtering are noticeably more pronounced. Still, perhaps they're amplified by the other issues.

 

[Rad-]

Mouse pointers :lol :lol :lol

 

[neojubei]

Look at the date; that's an edited PS3 screen. :lol

whoa you are right. ..

 

[Kagari]

I'll wait to see if APZonerunner gets a reply from Square, then sure.

 

[7Th]

That's exactly how the Japanese PS3 version looks, I don't see how it would be a bullshot.

 

[badcrumble]

Isn't the SquareEnixSonia tweet sort of definitive enough? The screens are clearly horribly, amateurishly grabbed, but they're official.

 

[Pooya]

:lol :lol :lol , holy shit, I don't know what to say, as someone who already preorderes the 360 version, I'm really disappointed , hell last remnant looks way way better than this shit

 

[Dresden]

It's almost like they thought, if they look too good they won't believe us!

 

[ULTROS!]

So... Is this picture real then?

 

[Misterinenja]

It's almost like they thought, if they look too good they won't believe us!

Probably the case. :lol

God they're clueless.

 

[Paracelsus]

All joking aside, Square sucks big time. That's disrespectful towards people who are gonna buy the 360 version. Three weeks left and no sign of a proper 360 screenshot yet. Ok, it's a Jrpg so graphics aren't the most important thing but I mean, come on.

 

[OverHeat]

The joy of having all 3 consoles...PS3 version for me. Those 360 pics look like shit.

 

[Mandoric]

The washed out color and the weird edges owing to some amount of image compression, yeah. But the dithering effect and the poor texture filtering are noticeably more pronounced. Still, perhaps they're amplified by the other issues.

The shitty edges all over, especially on Light's hair, are very reminiscent of a particular mass-market 720p capture box I have the displeasure of working with every week.

Plus, c'mon, FF11 looks better on the 360 than this, using PS2 assets.

 

[danwarb]

That's exactly how the Japanese PS3 version looks, I don't see how it would be a bullshot.

It doesn't have that image quality though. It's a higher-resolution render, downsampled to 720p.

There's something odd about these screens: (very mild spoilers)

Behemoth King standing up yet the break bar still shows ???%

Spoiler

Really? Max of 3000 HP in chapter 11?

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

You said it. :lol

Is this Bayonetta all over again?

Bayonetta ran like shit on the PS3, console war stuff aside.

Is it possible that FFXIII will run just as poorly on the 360 as Bayo did on the PS3?

Entirely.

Will it happen?

Dunno.

Spoiler

You can break a standing King. He just resets HP/break/probably hate during the stand-up animation. And 3k is very reasonable for ch11, that's about where I was at the end of the chapter before I started doing hunts.

Isn't that the PS3 edited pic?

 

[Metalic Sand]

Yea they do. I cancelled my pre-order for now and will wait for $40 price point.

 

[dreamer3kx]

I just cant believe this is a actual 360 shot, that seriously looks like the wii.

Spoiler

My point on the standing King was that you should have already beat him enough that you'd know what the ???% is. I guess they could have just not driven up the meter at all.

As for the second,

Spoiler

guess I leveled up more than I remembered :lol

Isn't that the PS3 edited pic?

Oops :lol :lol :lol

 

[sam27368]

I thought these might be bad captures as well, but the battle menu is quite clear. (Baring in mind I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to capturing)

 

[ExtraKr1spy]

Wow I thought the mouse cursor people were mentioning was the finger one that was selecting options for the battle menu but then I saw the shot with mouse pointer like it was from windows :lol

 

[marathonfool]

I'm so confused by what just happened.

Can someone explain what's going on? Some are saying that's the 360 screen shot, others are saying it's an old PS3 screen capture replaced with 360 buttons.

What's what.

Anything with an upload date of the 17th is a 360 "screen shot".

 

[APZonerunner]

I'll wait to see if APZonerunner gets a reply from Square, then sure.

Well, the response was akin to OH SHIT, basically. So sit tight, wait for the inevitable retraction and the third round of screenshots.

I threw up a mocking story, too. I couldn't resist.

I believe the Feb 12 ones were the wrong pictures (PS3 screen caps with 360 buttons) whereas the ones now (Feb 17) are the new pics from SE.

How hard it is to take direct feed shots...

 

[Mandoric]

I'm assuming

Spoiler

that they just have a low-leveled save in mostly-untouched Pulse that they trot out to make SSs. I could see them going to the spot that's really popular for grinding, waiting for KB to kill the other mob so it'll give them a close-up, and him raging sometime during that process.

 

[Wazzim]

That are problems from the capture card, REAL ingame screens on any console of any game look sharp and not like that.
Do you really think that SE would work a full year on tweaking the engine to get that **** result??
lolol:lol :lol

 

[APZonerunner]

For those completely missing the fucking mouse and talking about capture cards and shit:

 

[Rad-]

Duh, it's 360 emulator.

 

[Mandoric]

For those completely missing the fucking mouse and talking about capture cards and shit:

If you're playing the game through the capture card, you're probably then screencapping from another program, which can easily pick up your cursor if you mouse over the play window.
