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.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
