1UP says FFXIII looks better on PS3.

http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9022412

That FINAL FANTASY XIII STICKY didn't help educate SW on this topic, because lots of people are finding this out for the first time.

Yes, the PS3 has many advantages for this game, including Graphics in CGI/FMV and gameplay. It is what it is.

EDIT :

Surprisingly, I suppose some people don't know this. Besides the TC posting his link, that Poll Indicates that people think the 360 version is superior.:?

360 Bonuses :

1. Gamerpics unlocked with Achievements
2. Xbox Live Toy Contest
   
3. 3 Disc package, you can juggle the two discs while playing one disc to impress PS3 friends.
   

PS3 Version Bonuses :

1. Superior Gameplay Resolution
2. Superior CGI/FMV Resolution
3. Superior Sound
4. If you plan to buy FFVs.XIII (PS3 exclusive) your FFXIII collection won't be in disarray between two platforms.
   
5. One scratch resistant Blu-Ray Disc to deal with.
   
6. Free FFXIII PS3 Dynamic Themes unlocked for your PS3 with certain Trophies
7. Better loading times
   
8. PC/PS3 exclusive Final Fantasy 14 PS3 Early Beta Access!

People, just settle down, this is a bit of fun. There is no ill will intended fun. : P

We've known it looks better on PS3 for a long, long time.

How are they not obvious? If I made a thread saying "360 RRODs" or "PS3 games sell less than 360 games", the reason for posting the obvious would seem pretty obvious would it not?

Knowing this. I still bought the 360 version which makes me:

A) a badass

B) stupid

C) awesome and utterly handsome

I would have to go with C as that sounds about right:D

No ****. That is because the 360 version runs on lower resolution.

Yeah, maybe that's what he meant, but it wasn't obvious that that's what he meant. I thought he meant that the obvious reasons that I alluded to weren't obvious because I didn't spell it out in an obvious way.

[QUOTE="salxis"] Well, posting the obvious seem pretty obvious sure, but oddly enough, we still get a lot of threads that don't see them as obvious. I think that's what he meant :Psalxis

Since you're giving up, I'm obviously better at chaining together sentences with the word obvious in them.

To be honest, if you lost the 1 Blu-Ray disc you would be in the same boat as if you lost 1 of the DVDs :).

^^ how was that a fail :?lawlessx

I think he's referring to the comparison pic which doesnt look accurate at all on the 360s part.

^^ how was that a fail :?lawlessx

It's not like SolidTy is know for these kinds of comments or anything.. ;)

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]^^ how was that a fail :?themyth01

Well, he's not wrong but he also seems to be getting a little out of hand trying to prove said superiority... for, you know... a manticore..

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]^^ how was that a fail :?xsubtownerx

point taken..didn't really notice the nitpicking on his part. Did the GS review mention the 360 version having better framerate? i don't recall kevin mentioning it in the video review.

also that ps3 screenshot isn't bullshot pic.

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]^^ how was that a fail :?xsubtownerx

It's not like SolidTy is know for these kinds of comments or anything.. ;)

Dude. That's not a bullshot. The in game cut scenes are pretty bad on the 360. The FMV's are horrible too. Complete compressed poop.

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]^^ how was that a fail :?xsubtownerx

It's not like SolidTy is know for these kinds of comments or anything.. ;)

And Digital Foundry's framerate analysis, where all they give is the minimum framerate during a real-time rendered cutscene, is contradicted by Lens of Truth's framerate analysis, where they give average framerate in both gameplay and real-time cutscene situations, where the performance was either the same in both or marginally better in the PS3 version.

The differences aren't gamebreaking, no one should pretend they are. But the differences are there and no one should pretend they aren't, especially in the full motion video and pre-rendered cutscenes.

Was the difference huge enough that the PS3 of FFXIII scored higher than the 360 there?

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]

[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"] Let's see. Why didn't he mention the better framerate on the 360 version? Why didn't he mention the free gamerpics from unlocking achievements? (In my opinion it isn't worth mentioning, but he mentioned a free "theme" for the PS3) Why did he put a bullshot next to the 360 shot? If the game was THAT different in the looks department, I'm sure Kevin V would have given the PS3 version the better score. Did we all forget that Kevin V reviewed dragon Age? the differences were smaller than what SolidTy is showing us, yet gave the 360 version a lesser score, even with the better framerate. It's not like SolidTy is know for these kinds of comments.. ;)xsubtownerx

You don't know what you are talking about regarding me. :| I got those screens from Eurogamer, and there are more than that, lol. There's no Bullshots, lol. So you got up in arms about me using Bullshots, when they were real? lol. Kevin V. is one guy what he does or doesn't do doesn't make the world go round. If you want to argue with those that claim GS messed up the review, as that's a topic, go ahead. That doesn't change my post.

I only put in the EDIT after my post due to the POLL's results, the TC's question, and the fact I know that FFXIII's differences aren't as widely known in SW as the FFXIII sticky prevented the knowledge from spreading at SW.

I didn't mention better loading times (Lens) on PS3 either. That screen wasn't bull, and you are wrong.

I know your game.;) :)

I posted the reason for the EDIT (lack of knowledge, TC's question, and Poll results), but some of these guys are really upset like they ported FFXIII to the 360 themselves, and I'm attacking their masterpiece.

You bought it on 360 as you said in this thread, so you would definitely be the one to know. It's just one of those things.

You don't know what you are talking about regarding me. :| SolidTy

If you say so. I was just pointing out that if the differences are THAT noticeable, Keven V would have reviewed the game like he did with Dragon Age. You willing to argue this? I pointed out that we all know the PS3 has the edge visually, but the other crap you wrote about was laughable for a proclaimed manticore. Why didn't you mention the contest you can enter for free for playing the 360 version of FFXIII? :lol:

Nah, I know your game. :)

You keep on bringing up Kevin Van Ord as if he is the end all be all of the world. Other people are already arguing this all over, I'm not taking part. I don't care what Kevin V. does or doesn't do, I never just look at one review and think, that's it. The Definitive review. That's doesn't exist.:shock:

We obviously don't all know FFXIII's superiority on PS3, as you can see, look at the POLL, the TC question. The FFXIII sticky didn't allow the spread of Info regarding FFXIII in SW.:o

You didn't port FFXIII, so no need to get so excited.8)

I also didn't mention the better loading times on PS3 either, I wasn't about to go hog wild, lol. Cool marketing like contests to win some action figures for buying inferior ports may be cool to some, but it's marketing,lol.:lol:

Either way, where were you when I was arguing Bayonetta on PS3 being subpar? :?360 Bayonetta FTW!:D Yeah, that's because I know your game, lol.

I was just pointing out that if the differences noticeable, Keven V would have reviewed the game like he did with Dragon Age.

xsubtownerx

Are you trying to claim the differences are so negligible that they don't exist? Because to reiterate the differences aren't gamebreaking, no one should pretend they are - if someone wants this game and only has a 360 it certainly shouldn't stop them from buying it.

But the differences are there and no one should pretend they aren't, especially in the full motion video and pre-rendered cutscenes.
