FF13-Slightly-Worse-360.jpg


UK-based online gaming publication NowGamer has received the final code of Final Fantasy XIII for Xbox 360. After beating the PlayStation 3 game, their team decided to look into the differences between the two.

They pointed out that the Xbox 360 version of the game is faced with lower resolution textures causing characters’ clothing to lack as much detail the PlayStation 3 version offers.

Some objects and enemies in the environment appear to be less detailed, as well, both in texture and geometry.

Finally, they stress the game’s CG as “extremely compressed” compared to the PlayStation 3 version comparing it to the “stunning HD” blu-ray offers.

Believe it or not, this isn’t surprising. I think we could of all seen this coming. Could this have been the reason for Square Enix’s recent bullshots?

I was expecting this, but overall this is an opinion, so I'd have to see for myself.

I really hope this doesn't cause a huge uproar, though.
 
Ugh.... :rage: i HAVE BOTH 360 AND PS3 but I want to buy it on Xbox 360 and I dont want this kind of news stopping me. The GAMES are exactly the same shit. This is just people dissing the 360 vesion because OMG its The fist FF RPG on 360 lets DISS it! Well you know what people who say that can go Die >_> Im getting it for 360 because I like Xbox more than ps3 :gasp: The graphics are ALMOST the same who cares of a slight difference. "Omg im not gonna play the 360 version cause it has 0.1% worse graphics" Well GTFO 360 dissers.

Yeah I could see it a mile off. It'll end up causing mass arguments, maybe not on FFF but elsewhere. The problem is, the likes of GameSpot and IGN are biased towards the 360 so they'll just stir shit up :ffs: I'm convinced this is the reason the started messing about with the comparison screenshots though.
 
Nothing really new. We all knew the Xbox 360 version will be graphically inferior for a long time. This doesn't really confirm it anyway - it's a matter of opinion.

I don't really care how graphically superior the PS3 version will be anyway. Both versions look stunning in terms of visuals - it's one department SE really put a lot of time and effort in.
 
You know, it's funny. I heard how the 360 would have better in-game graphics, by being crisper or something.

I don't care about the 360 capabilities. I have a PS3, not an XBOX 360. The 360 could have phenomenally better graphics if that was the case, but I wouldn't care. I already pre-ordered FFXIII for the PS3, so the ship has long since sailed *shrugs*
 
Yeah. I'm still getting it on the 360. One, because I have apreordered and also because I personally prefer the console.

Also, like Adri said, I'm so happy with the fact that I can get it on the 360 at all I'll take pretty much anything as long as the graphics were up to the consoles usual standard, all comparisons aside.
 
It doesn't look much different to me anyway, even though it was made for the PS3. I'm still getting it regardless, i don't care for graphics as much as those people do. Least the game was made for crying out loud.
 
To be honest, I hardly think the graphics matter. They'll probably be slightly worse, but a little thing like that won't stop people from buying it.
 
I don't think it's really a big deal that the PS3 graphics are "slightly" better. I'll be getting it on 360 since that's the console I have and I've already preordered it. It'll still be the same game anyway.

And if this causes a stir or uproar, people really need to find something better to do with their time. :wacky:
 
It's no sweat off my back.

Even if I had the 360 I would still get the game even if the grahics are a tad worse then the PS3. Big deal

As others said, i'm sure those that are getting it for the 360 cause they dont have the PS3 will be throwing a fit though, it don't bother me
the game should be the same otherwise, no?
 
i have the 360 no ps3 sadly only have 360 because got it as a gift.
so i don't care if teh graphics or a lot worse i still be happy as hell i love ff and so fk happy it coming out on teh 360 i pre oder it over a year ago
 
Other hands-on comparisons describes the Xbox 360 as looking slightly better than the PS3 version, so I wouldn't put too much into this :D Hearing different things from different publications does make me interested in seeing some screen-by-screen comparisons though.
 
Oh God, here we go. Watch the die-hard graphics fanatics and Xbox 360 fanboys moan about FFXIII getting the short end of the stick on the 360. Especially after Square Enix released those screenshots. "Slightly worse" will translate to a lot of people as "considerably worse" and I can just see tons of people making a big deal out of this.

As someone who doesn't really give a damn about graphics, this wouldn't bother me at all. I'm only getting FFXIII for the PS3 to avoid disc swapping (even if I only have to do it twice, I hate multiple discs) and because I need more games for my PS3.
 
Well since this is the first Final Fantasy on Xbox it doesn't surprise me that there are some who might be bias. Opinions saying that PS3 looks "Slightly" better, I tend to disregard because it's kind of sad that games have become all about graphics and not gameplay.

Me personally I don't care about the multiple discs and swapping, so long as the gameplay is pretty much identical for both consoles and it still fun... who cares after that.
 
I think the issue of graphics is a little pertinacious. However the graphics will only make a difference to a handful of people. All of this is assuming the TV you're watching the game on is up to the standard! People will buy for which console they own, as not many have both consoles.
 
This doesn't affect me, as I have a PS3 anyway, but I don't care much for graphics anyway. They're always just a bonus for me. Story, gameplay, atmosphere and music come before graphics for me.

That said the difference isn't going to be enough to warrant a ":rage:".


And ouch to the new article. Leaving the mouse is quite a mistake. Though the article says that the screens don't do it justice and that the 360 version actually does look better than that, so I don't understand why SE would make such errors in getting screenshots for the 360, or why they are finding it too difficult to get a decent shot of it.

One even features the mouse of the person who captured them, suggesting they may well have been captured from a video using the Windows Print Screen function.

I wasn't aware that the Print Screen function also includes the mouse cursor as well.

But really - SE really aren't doing themselves much of a favour here. How hard is it to produce good quality screenshots that are a good representation of what the Xbox 360 version looks like? Surely a small division of such a talented company can manage that?
