Final Fantasy XIII post-release comparison/garbage thread
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
Heh. I remember when PS360 uploaded some captured footage from 360/PS3 lost planet 2 demo. Curiously, at that time, he only uploaded ps3 online co-op videos whereas he uploaded single player and online co-op videos from the 360 version.DeadGzuz said:
Some gaffers were comparing ps3 online co-op videos against 360 offline single player videos to show how the 360 version has better frame rates. Ahh.. good times.

It's probably talked about but on Metacritic. why isn't EDGE review on the 360 version?
Not sure if this belong to this thread or the official one.
But don't you think that FFXIII's linearity has created a new RPG genre ? I would call it (Adventure RPG) or (Hack and slash RPG).
That said, I'm 12 hours in and I love it. Chapter 7 music is amazing. I'll start the infamous X360 chapter 8 tomorrow. wish me luck.
(afraid of duckroll lol!)

I'm pretty sure we established that fact a number of pages ago now.
The real question is if DF is going to bother to correct and/or retract parts of that article or leave it there for people to keep burning up the comments fields bashing it. :lol

they probably just played the ps3 version and pretend to have played the 360 version. 360 sites probably did the same too.

This game is loaded with issues, but CGI is not one of them.
This thread is so odd to me.
I beat the game on the 360 and never really read too much into the comparisons until now. The game played just fine throughout the entire game and I never even bothered to install the damn thing.
Oh well, I guess I just don't care enough to notice. :lol
Aye, I'll just leave it at that.

Is there anything in particular that could be causing the frame rate drops in Chapter 8 like a lot of things happening on screen or is just unexplainable?
The scary part is that it's a linear single-player game so it seems ridiculous that it got overlooked and it makes the reviews of multiplayer games even more questionable because pretty much every multiplayer game seems to suffer from technical problems that may get fixed over time or blatant balancing issues that get completely ignored by reviewers(MW2 being the biggest example of this).

In DF defense, the slowdowns problems are in chapter 8 and 11, probably they checked the first chapters to do the comparisson, who have thought that the port would do even worst in those 2 specific sections?
Chapter 8 has a few NPC's on the screen, more than in any other area, framerate drops when they are in you field of view, change that and the game runs ok again.
Same with chapter 11, when a lot of monsters show up, framerate drops.Also there's a intereting amount of cliping, some monsters appears suddenly when you are a few meters away, don't know if that happens in the PS3 version too.
So is this correct?.
- 570p instead 720p in-game graphics.570p CGI instead of 1080p
- Less self shadowing.
- Badly compressed cut scenes and audio.
- Heavy framedrops in both Ch. 8 and 11.
- Clipping problems (?¿)
- Other minor effects missing.
Anyway, I was looking at the E3 2008 MS conference reactions....so hilarious, those were good times, the port was worth only for that.

Well, there were warnings from how the PS3 version ran near the end of the game as well as preliminary evidence from trailers and screenshots.
I would think it'd be obvious to scrutinize the biggest area with the most objects on screen, but maybe that's just me.

there are people that will buy a game based on these stuff and if DF did a full in-depth analysis it would probably have turned potential buyers away.Curufinwe said:

Considering this is arguably the best story in any jRPG made so far....
Well, in this DF frame-rate comparison video, FF13 X360's frame-rate is better when you consider the real-time cut-scenes as gameplay. Although, during the battle sequences in that same video, it appears that FF13 X360 actually drops below 30FPS a few more times than the PS3 version.Zoe said:
Lens of truth's FF13 head to head video shows that the PS3 version has a slightly higher frame-rate during gameplay(battles, moving around, etc.) and real-time cut-scenes.
While we have conflicting information regarding the real-time cut-scene performance, at least in the early chapters, it seems like FF13 PS3 has a slightly higher frame-rate during gameplay.

Just got the 360 version. So, performance issues later in the game? That really sucks, because so far I think the port is fantastic. Really sucks if true, I guess I'll have to read all about it later (or just wait till I get to these portions of the game).
Anyways speaking of the port so far. I am very happy with the graphics. I'm going to play the PS3 version at a friends so I can compare, but so far I have no issues. No jaggies, clean looking, even the hair is totally fine. Rock solid framerate, I have no complaints ( so far ).
'Can't believe the port falls apart later in the game. That's some lazy coding bullshit right there.
