No,im not dev im just sayin what i heard in The oblivion forum from dev and gamers,that ATI works a bit better in heavy shader using games as FEAR and Oblivion.


That' s Quez' s ultimate defence " No I am not a dev."

Brilliant!
There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

If Sony weren' t to OWN SQUENIX


that' s silly at least.

I think Blue ray could be a factor for some games and FF games among them.

It is strange that they give excuses - why won' t they say that their userbase , fans - are PS supporters? IT is true after all.

I also think that PS3 will sell better than 360 (it' s not that I like to see it but it' s very likely to happen) , so it' s pretty smart to release your game on the best selling system where your fans are.

Also it has been proven that great exclusive game can sell more copies on it' s target platform than a great multiplatform game on all the systems together.

With 10 million 360' s on the market by November, Sony' s stupid price, Sony likely only having " seed quantities" for launch, the possibility that PS3 could ship with no worthy games, Sony saying that marketshare doesn' t matter -- etc -- i doubt very much that Sony will outsell their competition.

I even think that THEY themselves can' t see it happening.

They were speaking in reference to the ps2 in that article... not about the 360.

Sure they mentioned the DVD not being enough, but not once did they actually refer to the 360.

" Toriyama and Versus producer Shinji Hashimoto defended the decision to release FFXIII on the PS3. According to Hashimoto, the development staff determined that one DVD would not be enough for the type of visual expression they were attempting to make. Toriyama noted that, regarding visual expression, the PS3' s shader abilities are a big factor.

Series producer Yoshinori Kitase pointed out that the use of shaders has caused some difficulties with development. Making a standard texture, something that would have been done with a PS2 game, would typically require the work of just one designer. With the switch to shaders, designers and programmers have to be paired up, resulting in some logistical difficulties.

Kitase has some insight into the differences in making a game for the PS2 as opposed to the PS3. As announced at the FFXIII unveiling press conference at E3, Final Fantasy XIII development originally started on the PS2."


I think at TGS we will have announcements regarding a final fantasy 13 game on the 360. Square isn' t looking at just japan they are looking beyond the japanese market. Their business is a global one not just primarily japan. If the 360 was struggling elsewhere throughout the world then square wouldn' t do it, but the excitement over the 360 in a number of places is well beyond what anyone expected and they will support the 360 as a result.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

FFXIII on the 360 would be Sony' s doom.

Nah, at TGS prepare for more Square Enix stall tactics. Sony would sacrifice the wives and children of all of their execs before letting Square Enix develop an OFFLINE, continuation of the series for the 360.

Backtracking an I and talking about XII for just a sec, I just wanted to post this vid, which I have to say is “Jolly good”

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_r0L6gkb1u0

Now I know I’ll have to eat up my words mentioned about dubbing (in the Dream On thread) as I’m forced to say that I really like this dub (I would still have preferred original Japanese though) and I think it was a rather brilliant choice to use British accent for the game.

…then back to FFXIII
Also, you might not have seen these (not sure if it' s all from the e3 trailer):












Edit:
As the images doesn' t show anymore here' s where I found them: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3411634&postcount=44

Also, you might not have seen these:

...and still don' t...if your linking images directly fomr a site' s URL, somtimes they change on a day to day basis so it wont be the same link thus breaking the link here. Or somthing. Use an image hosting service as it tends to work almost guarenteed.
