The Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII has been confirmed as being significantly inferior to the PS3 original, with Xbox 360 in game graphics at 1024×576/2xAA versus 1280×720/2xMSAA on the PS3; texture quality and draw distance on the Xbox also suffer degradation, far from the “identical” versions Square Enix promised.
Preliminary comparison shots of the two versions illustrate the difference:
Previously players of both versions had reported noticeable inferiority – now this appears confirmed beyond doubt.
Incidentally, after being caught releasing clearly doctored comparison shots of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, Square Enix released some “genuine” replacements – however in a less that reassuring sign they left in a mouse cursor on several of the Xbox 360 shots, visible in the top left:
It’s not clear whether sheer carelessness or some other reason is responsible for this; in any case the reason for their initial reluctance to release genuine shots is perhaps now clear – they insisted the versions were “identical.”

but its still the same linear game lol
Actually, a new feature exclusive to the 360 version allows you to mix and match it's twenty CDs for a different convoluted story each time.
Obvious PS3 fanboy.
The captain could have sworn that the pandas comment was true.
I concur!
Got me too.
I like pandas even more from now on. :3
pandas <3
ooh naruhodo!!!
Even though you failed to make fun of a console, I have to say that if there was a game like that, I would definitely play it. Imagine the mind fuck you could get from playing it in random order.
But would said fuck give you an orgasm? If not, then it'd be pointless...
Can I question that?
Where have you been in the last 2 years?
Didn't you know we can install games on HDD. Or your just thinking that HDD is there for fun purposes? So you don't have to swap discs?
Regards
Factsman
You have to swap discs any way lol... but they are only 3 discs... the real problems are the graphics :V
still the same boring troll posts from a guy who hasn't played it, fuck off
I have played and I can vouch for the linearity. This is just as bad as Xenosaga and with less interesting characters.
lol yeah
whole game is inferior
yaarrrr
It's funny, was expecting the 360 fanboys to say stuff along the lines of:
"Game sucks anyways, so what!!!"
And sure enough, here we see it, hahahaha.....
It DOES suck. Final Fantasy hasn't even been worth playing since FFX. From XI forward it's been garbage. These aren't even Final Fantasy games anymore they're more like the offspring of World Of Warcraft's retarded cousin and a square-enix janitor.
oh well it sucks really it's pretty bad FF13, things like eternal sonata or tales of vesperia is why the PS3 wins to xbox 360
you are right , its too linear , ive been playing the game on 360 and i dont see diference in in-game , its dosent seem like those blurry images , but video quality its bad , its like dvd quality
So are they going to release the game already?
same shit different console.
Really, couldn't fool the captain.
Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd. Nerd.
Think this is a scandal?
Let's go back to the so-called "Good Old Days". In the back of comics I found ads for popular games that were ported to "Home systems", so they had to force these lonely tortured programmers to push out equivalents of arcade games on various systems with entirely different programming languages and capabilities, almost always far inferior to the arcade machines they were supposed to be played on.
Here's and example: Frogger

Now, this is where you can compare the screens for the "Superior/Inferior" port. And I remember tons of passionate fights, including REAL ones over who's game system was better...
But that wasn't bad, what was worse was the "Movie to Game" ports in the 4bit-ish days... Look up the abomination of "E.T." anyone....
Not that there isn't a difference between consoles. I'm sure the X-box Ninja Gaiden has a better "Sheen" effect so the pornstar pretending to be a ninja has more glistening breasts after she's rescued from the Vore monster. And that was after dialogue so stupidly painful to listen to she deserved to be Vore'd... Just wish there was a "Hot Chocolate" patch where the Ninja could slap her face and just tit-fuck her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlqGS5GeLH0
/clap
Thats strange becouse this game looks decent even on ps3 :] .
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ahahhaaaha not even 3 dvds can make up for the game... still looks works... taht prooves that the 360 is inferior...
Well... I might enjoy the game since X which is my favorite was linear as well.... well until the end that least you do some back tracking... damn
Go back to school.
the whole time people has been saying "this game is linear" as it was wrong,
That's WHAT THEY WANT and Enix know better than them, the error maybe was to make it so explicit so they can notice it and can argue about it, lol
Yeah X is my favorite too, I like old school RPG's too but FFX is my favorite movie and video game at the same time.
OF course people is going to argue about anything, look at us, we haven't played it and are already trashing this title that we ARE GOING to buy anyway.
FFX was also my favorite. Looking back it was pretty darn linear. It may have appeared more open but it was still get from point a to point b. Only till you got to the airship towards end could you go anywhere you wanted whenever. Seems like FFXIII is going to be similar. Granted I haven't played anything between X and XIII (which from what I've seen other people say it was a good thing)
fan boys make me sad. Please stop posting.
don't burn yourself up for nothing... you can always ignore the comments you dislike.
DOTD :3
my god anon you are a moron. way to represent sony...
Its like the shitty Bayonetta port but reversed!
lol not even close.
Actually the technical difference does seem to be about the same, save for all those hours of non-interactive FMVs Final Fantasy fans are so fond of.
yeah but bayonetta was INTENTIONAL. this is just the REALITY that microsoft couldn't pay enough to keep quiet or enough to fuck the ps3 version.
Honestly, IMO this is not anything about the Xbox's capabilities, this is Square cutting all the corners they could on this game. It's a damn marathon sim, not an rpg, and their lack of work shows.
now I wonder if MS will throw down the money to fix it, like Sony did to fix the loading times in Bayonetta
I'm buying a DSi so I can play this game.
It's not worth it. Buy the DSI, Skip the game. It's even worse on PSPgo :c
if they would just release for pc instead, this stupid argument wouldn't exist and the game would look many times better....
PC Gamers typically don't buy JRPGs in North America because JRPGs typically don't get released on PC. It's a vicious cycle not made any better by the typical PC Gamer. Either they make a build of the game which can run on both consoles and in Windows/Mac, and the game gets slammed on the reviews because its graphics are inferior to other games in the same general release schedule, or they make it as good as possible, requiring an increased budget, to make a game that won't see nearly as many sales as a cheaper-to-make release would be on consoles.
Either way, it's a losing proposition most companies don't bother touching any more.
Yeah, MS bluescreens are so much better!
lawl when was the last time you actually bluescreened on Windows XP?
I'm no windows fanboy, I use Mac, but I personally haven't seen a bluescreen in years.
XP is no longer as unstable as it was, it just sucks in terms of performance these days.
My wager is that you just never switched bluescreens on.
If your computer ever rebooted by itself, and you weren't sure why, that was a would-be bluescreen that just had the kernel reset the computer instead.
I find it strange that no one noticed the absence of the big f****g turtle-monster on the xbox version...
@Anon 22:23: That's because these are real comparison shots, not those so-called "button-swap" bullshots.
As for XP's BSoDs, I have a recurring one when attempting to update my MSI K9VGM-V's BIOS, although probably it's MSI's shitty software fault and not Windows's.
And then one showed up when installing avast!'s free antivirus on my little brother's netbook. I was able to remove most of the files and registry entries and replace it with AVG, but it's still a little muddled and I'm not sure about the consequences yet.
Then again, SpliNT, Square Enix could most certainly port it to Mac OS X and GNU/Linux... yeah right, lol.
Yet the chances are that you're using one yourself right now.
last I heard it IS coming for the PC.
