Yeah I know and I'm saying in a mutual way that FFXIII runs the same on both platforms.

You just get two more discs on the 360 version, there is no difference in performance.

oh wow, i'm going to get the xbox version cause it must be better value if you get 3 discs for the price of 1 sony one, LOL

It's exactly the same other than the Xbox version has 3 discs and the PS3 is only one disc as it is blueray.

On the Xbox version you go through disc 1 and 2 in about 15 hours then its all on disc 3.

I was told it downloads the cut scenes onto the hard drive from discs 1 and 2 to make the game smoother.

Though you never actually see any downloading. I have a 360 and a PS3, like them both in different ways...

It's like a blond chick and a brunette chick, they both deliver the goods but in different ways.

Sometimes you just feel you need a blond that night but then you want some brunette after, so on and so on... :cheers:

It's all personal taste and opinions, just have the best of both worlds I say :laugh:

I think you missunderstood me.

FF13 was created on the playstation engine (originally was started on the PS2 engine then moved to the PS3 engine). The PS3 runs the true uncompressed video and audio on a 50GB Bluray disc (most PS3 games run the old 25GB Bluray disc) while the xbox has compressed audio and video so it could fit on three discs as the uncompressed version wouldn't fit on three discs.

Also PS3 runs it in 720p and the xbox runs it in 576p however both can be upscaled to 1080p.

Not trying to argue the point if the PS3 one is better, as it is a bee's dick in difference to most people, however just saying, FF13 was created with the PS3 in mind, i've was following the development of the game for a while last year.

From all accounts I have seen, the PS3 version is said to look much better. It has a considerably higher native resolution (720p compared to 576). Though I haven't played either, just going by what people are saying.

The game is a bit of a disappointment compared to previous releases. It might not be so bad for players new to the series though.

Characters are great, visuals as always push the PS3 to its limit’s, the detailed menu’s/”datalogit” and character status are well laid out and easy to read (best of the FF series IMO) and storyline is well, ok. As for gameplay, I feel it lacks a lot compared to its predecessors. FF12 battle system shits all over this one and as for character building eh, average.

You are right.

But when there both running at 1080p like you said, it's a bee's dick difference in FFXIII case.

Now if FFXIII had double the loading times and had performance issues for the 360 compared to the PS3 then that would be a problem.

There are many games out there that perform better on different platforms but damn I cbf to get into that haha

Anyway enough of this NERD conversation... My work is almost done, cant wait to get out this hell hole.

Yeah I heard about PS3 Versus, looks like there will be more extra content on the PS3.

bout half way through the 5th ark, 25 hours game time, had all my characters clocked for their 3 base abilities well before the fight with barthalandus (sp).

still somewhat annoyed at how ridiculously linear it is. made me rage pretty hard a few times.

being able to level up weapons and equipment is an interesting touch.

paradigm shifts, eidolons, chaining attacks and the ability to freely swap and change party leaders is pretty awesome. i also love how stupid tough some enemies are if you dont stagger them or are using the wrong paradigm.

im assuming ill end up on gran pulse for some free roaming pretty soon. hope so at least.

all in all, its alright, but the ff series has been a bit iffy since square enix.

vii rocked, i still play it to this day. viii sorta sucked, but the bosses were interesting, ix i thought was f**king brilliant, treasure hunting with the chocobo was an easy way to kill hours at a time. x was alright, finished it a few times, x-2 i got maybe half way through before i wrote it off as a failure, didnt play xi, and xii i completely clocked 3 times now. f**king brilliant.

2 of my biggest pet peeves (save for the linearity) are both to do with the combat system. party leader dies and its game over. cant revive them. they die, youre f**ked. and the way the 2 other party members act automatically. im so used to being able to control what each party member does. makes some encounters simply too easy.

You wont be saying its to easy once you get to A class hunting missions that's for sure haha

If your at the ark your one step away from free roam grand pulse!

Finished the game, now im just doing all the "A class" side quests and getting ultimate weapons.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
