Support NeoGAF

[Dawg]

It's over, period. consoles lost their last ace, and that's the end of their hopes and dreams.

It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for consoles. They have nothing left, nothing they can reveal tomorrow would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for any one, hardcore or casual, to substantively invest in a console. Except if they want to play Destiny. Which will also come to PC at some point.

The age of consoles is done.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Isn't it a one time sign in?

Maybe they patched it for VII later on, but I remember you couldn't save or load without being signed in to your SE account for VII. Might have just been the SE store version. Still pissed me off.

 

[Durante]

Now thats a fair price

I'm even more amazed at the European price though. I'd never have expected them to price it fairly when it is already that low anyway.

 

[PaulBizkit]

I can't believe people are actually happy for this. The game is horrible, like REALLY bad.

Everybody says the same before playing it:

C'mon, the game can't be a hallway ALL the time. And the story in XII was messy too.


Then they play it and say:

OMG, it REALLY is a hallway ALL. THE. TIME. There are no shops, towns, it is really LONG. Fal'cie, Al'ciet, Cieth, what the hell am i doing? who do i want to defeat?? Who are these people??


Hopefully mods will make this game worth the $15 it costs.

 

[Eyothrie]

No controller support? Steam doesn't say partial- or full controller support

 

[demosthenes]

If it sells well we might get Type 0 HD too.

Before SE was just putting PS1 games (FFVII, VIII) on PC. Now that they've put XIII I believe everything will eventually hit PC. I expect XV to probably be like GTA5 though.

 

[Plywood]

Do want.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

No controller support? Steam doesn't say partial- or full controller support

Additional Notes: A game controller using Xinput is reccomended for this game. (If using a DirectInput based controller, please use the driver side key configuration to adjust settings as required )

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I am more than happy to buy the trilogy on PC just wanted for the upgraded visuals alone. Even if my opinion hasn't been so great on the trilogy, I can muster interest in a far superior visual presentation as well as better load times.

 

[On Demand]

I hope so. That way I could hold off on buying a PS4 for just a bit longer.

Pretty big news. As with MGS V and GTA V, hopefully this will be the norm for this gen with console versions coming out about a year before the PC version. If so, I can wait for FFXV and Kingdom Hearts 3 since I have no desire for a PS4.

Sony should be worried. How many others will be doing the same?

This is why exclusives matter.

 

[patapuf]

Isn't it a one time sign in?

I think it's their own store that has the afwul DRM, i don't know if they scrapped it by now.

 

[Kouriozan]

Wasted 120 hours platinum-ing it on PS3. You finish the game at 30 hours.
Never again.

 

[Trago]

Well that's that. XV will come at some point.

That's a good price too.

 

[GhostTrick]

I'm even more amazed at the European price though. I'd never have expected them to price it fairly when it is already that low anyway.

I'm wondering if it's not a pricing mistake ! Cheaper than both FFIII and IV !
Also... nearly 13€ for FFXIII...

 

[Dragon1893]

If it sells well we might get Type 0 HD too.

I think that's a safe bet at this point. Why ignore that steam money?

 

[Caayn]

Bought, even though I already own the 360 and PS3 version, just to shows support for Japanese big budget games on PC.

I'm even more amazed at the European price though. I'd never have expected them to price it fairly when it is already that low anyway.

Second this. A fair price for us in the EU compared to the US. Other publisher should take note.

 

[Dinda]

I just bought it and it cost me less than FF IV yesterday.

 

[BasilZero]

I have ffxiii and xiii-2 on ps3 and I enjoyed both. Gonna double dip on this.

 

[Valnen]

It can't be any worse than FFX.

Every FF is worse than FFX though, because FFX is the best =p.

But seriously, this is an amazing price. I hope the whole trilogy is just as cheap.

 

[mcz117chief]

Pre-ordered.

 

[Durante]

Yeah. I bought it just now for €11 to be on the save side.

lol, what mods? what games other than bethesda games these days get mods worth anything anyways. It sure as shit ain't the same scene as 14 years ago.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Not many will do the same.

Hence exclusives.

 

[KainXVIII]

Direct X 11? What could that be?

Some good optimization, HBAO+, tesselation

Spoiler

(we can dream!)

Also - : 30 GB available space, so its xbox360 or ps3 port?

 

[ohlawd]

Wasted 120 hours platinum-ing it on PS3. You finish the game at 30 hours.
Never again.

lol I plat this game about a week after NA release and I almost plat it the 2nd time on a different account (I'm actually close to finishing up Tortoise farming, just stopped cuz reasons)

fucking love FFXIII.

 

[Lulubop]

Before SE was just putting PS1 games (FFVII, VIII) on PC. Now that they've put XIII I believe everything will eventually hit PC. I expect XV to probably be like GTA5 though.

Those weren't ps1 games, those where PC rereleases of two FF games that came out around the same time as their ps1 counterparts.

 

[Toki767]

If it sells well we might get Type 0 HD too.

If it sells well I hope we get the full Kingdom Hearts HD Collection on Steam.

 

[KingSnake]

Great price, pre-ordered. I'm really curious how this looks on PC.

 

[Trago]

Hey, there's always first party games and the occasional Bloodborne.

 

[ShowDog]

Hopefully we will be able to import a save that skips the first 10 hours or so. I heard it gets better but I couldn't make it past 3 hours on console and I do kinda hate to miss a mainline FF.

 

[impact]

I love this series and I wish they'd all be on Steam along with more JRPGs in general.... but I can't support this. The game is terrible.

Should have been Type-0. I would have gladly bought that on Steam >_>

 

[GhostTrick]

Anyway, I did my part:

 

[Kezen]

I hope it does reasonably well so more Japanese games come to PC.

PS3 probably.

360 cutscenes were heavily compressed.

 

[Dinda]

Yeah. I bought it just now for €11 to be on the save side.

The same price is in the press release, so i don't think it's an error. Crazy Cheap.

 

[ashecitism]

I can't believe people are actually happy for this. The game is horrible, like REALLY bad.

People are more than likely happy because of what this could mean for the future. XV and all every other titles and all.

 

[Atlas157]

Time to play this beautiful game at 1080p60

 

[Raitningz]

GOOD MAN!

I'm right behind you bro

Don't forget to buy XIII-2 as well

I've bought it for some of my friends too

 

[Valnen]

lol, what mods? what games other than bethesda games these days get mods worth anything anyways. It sure as shit ain't the same scene as 14 years ago.

Yeah this is pretty much what I think when people talk about the modding community for upcoming PC games. It feels like only a small handful of titles actually see any attention from modders.

 

[LiK]

Yeah. I bought it just now for €11 to be on the save side.

Prepare for the worst

 

[Durante]

Prepare for the worst

What do you mean? I already played it on PS3.

 

[vinnygambini]

This basically confirms Square Enix's strategy moving forward - release their software on multiple platforms, one might see an eventual release of Final Fantasy XV on PC, count on it.

 

[LiK]

What do you mean? I already played it on PS3.

All of them?

 

[Damerman]

I thought the post came first?

I don't really know, but i do remember some people saying that the person in that vid was a gaffer and it was a parody. not 100% sure though.

 

[IcyRhythms]

I wonder who Square has doing the port job. If it's not 1080p 60FPS, gonna be hard for me to care.

 

[The End]

30 gb install, so I can assume it's using higher-quality ps3 movies?

 

[jorgeton]

Nice. I'd like to see LR:FFXIII with the graphics maxed out on PC. It ran ok on PS3 but it did have a level of jank that maybe the PC port will overcome.

 

[Nillansan]

I'll buy it at that price.

 

[Toki767]

What do you mean? I already played it on PS3.

You're actually going to play it a second time?

 

[Gbraga]

Want to pre-order, but afraid of a terrible port.



Looks like they just chose press shots from the PSi version.

I don't own my PS3 copy anymore, so even if it's locked 720p and 30fps, I still want it.
