Insomniac's James Stevenson: FFXIII PS3 is superior, PS3 Q1 rocks

ffxiii_ps3Interestingly enough, Insomniac Games' Marketing Manager, James Stevenson, has publicly placed his bets on the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII as the more superior version.

 

Over at his Twitter account, he made his feelings known about the game while praising the PS3's "rockin' 1st q". That's "first quarter", in case you didn't know.

 

He said: "PS3 is having a rockin' 1st q: MAG, Heavy Rain, White Knight Chronicles, and soon MLB10: The Show, GOWIII and the superior veresion of FFXIII."

 

The release of the latest Final Fantasy iteration has re-sparked the console wars between the PS3 and Xbox 360, particularly as regards the graphical differences. Some have said that if you own both consoles, go for the PS3 version, while if you have only the Xbox 360, it's not so bad anyway.

 

We'll find out soon enough when Final Fantasy XIII finally comes out in the US on March 9th, 2010.

no one would care, but its good to see that they didn't dumb down both version so it looks exactly like the other one, so we can see what they were really going for atleast on one console.

This will show them that multiconsole built in the PS3 makes the game looks better...lets see how Quantum Theory does seems the game was a PS3 exclusive...

By 'real' do you mean the weird screencaps with the mice in the picture and such? Those are the only ones I've found and they strike me as a bit suspect, if just because they have things like mice in them. I mean, wtf?

Either way, I'll probably get it for PS3, if just because I could use the easy trophies. Already have a good number of achivements to work on currently.

First they "released" pics and you could tell rightaway they were choped...then they released another set of pictures where the textures werent as nice as the PS3...sort of when you fix the texture in PS1 games on the PS2 (not sure if Ps3 has the feature) but not that bad...

who knows if they are the real screenshots...

I wouldn't be surprised if SE and MS deliberately held back real screenshots, because the 360 version looks awful.

That's right...last gen was all about th Xbox having better graphics but because MS was bashing about it...now that they know the 360 doesnt have the superior graphics they dont talk much about it...but what I mean about people shouldnt care is the same when the PS2 was the current gen...we didnt gave a shit about it...we had fun with it...people who has a 360 should not care just as some PS3 owners didnt care and had lots of funw ith Bayoneta

Gotta agree with James. 360 version isn't even HD, it's 576p. That's like a PS2 game!

I'm no fanboy, I see the pros and cons of consoles, so I have to agree with him.

PS3 can handle much more space than Xbox 360, PS3 has Blu-Ray and 360 up to DVD9 (7.50 gb to 9gb or so). About the graphics I can't say anything.

But don't forget that the gameplay is always more important than graphics. Doesn't matter if the graphics are perfect, what you want from a game is to enjoy, and there's the gameplay.

1st: Gameplay
2nd: Graphics

Microsoft could have used the dead technology, that is, HD-DVD it could handle up to 30 GB (according to Wiki). 360's HD-DVD are pretty cheap, and to use on your PC/Laptop/Netbook/whatever it's great.

The black edition of 360's HD-DVD was a limited product, wish I had one just for collecting purposes.

Alright, then if the gameplay is exactly the same, since it's 2 versions of the same game, knowing which has better graphics is still interesting no ?

You comment would be useful if we were speaking about tales of vesperia vs eternal sonata for exemple, where both aspects matter !

It's always been about damn graphics ever since this console war started.
And since most multiplatform games are based off Xbox structure... guess who gets the shorter end to the stick? Now that there IS now a game that is actually better on the PS3... it becomes all about gameplay? Stop lying to yourself...

this surprises people? Of course the PS3 version is going to be superior to the 360 version. It was built for the PS3 only at first and the PS3 is a superior console. They had to use a different 'engine' (I believe) for the 360 version

HA! It's not superior. The PS3 is capable of more, and the only reason most multiplats are better on the 360 is because they are made for the 360 and ported. Same excuse you are using for this, except you forgot to mention that EXCLUSIVES on the PS3 look better. Uncharted 2, for example. Let's see the 360 do that.

you also have to think
square enix has been using PS3 technology a lot longer than microsoft technology.
....lol that means alot i think
i've also heard thoughts saying that a lot of segments from the game were cut and now will be released as DLC just because the blue ray disc has a bigger size and they had to make it fit on a 360 disc also.

EPIC FAIL MICROSOFT

Isn't the 360 version of FFXIII supposed to be 3 disc compared to PS3 using only 1 disc? correct me if wrong cause IDR. lol. If so it is amazing if the PS3 uses only 1 disc...and is graphically better and can fit more. lol if you miss the classic disc-swapping go 360 version(thought i'd throw that in there) :-*

The graphics should be irrelevant. All that matters is that if you have both systems, might as well get the PS3 version since it's on one disc.
