Final Fanasy XIII, PS3 or 360?
Posted on 02. Dec, 2008 by Demonalecks in Gaming News
The world of the Sony fanbase shook and exploded, then stood still and imploded all together the day that FFXIII was announced as coming to the Xbox360 also. Everyone knew that this was the end of exclusives and started showing most gamers, fanboys and probably developers that right now things are expensive and building a game for one console just isn’t the wisest option.
The question on everyone’s mind now is, Will PlayStation 3 version have to be held back because of the 360? Is Microsoft going to pay for more exclusive content as they’ve done before with major titles like fallout 3, and Grand Theft Auto 4? Well over at the Magic Box, they have a little bit of info that might calm some of the Sony gamers;
Square Enix revealed new info on Final Fantasy XIII for PS3 and Xbox 360:
- The company wants to build the game as unbiased to any specific market as possible
- Currently only the PS3 version is in development. The Xbox 360 version will begin as soon as the PS3 version is completed
- The game will run on one Blu-ray disc
- The Xbox 360 version is not a betrayal to PS3 fans because the PS3 version is not stopped or moved
- Right now the game is designed specifically for PS3, the team will worry about how to optimize the game on 360 when it’s done
- Scenario of the game is finished, the “Art assets” are 80% completed
- All the FFXIII games have different directors, but they are all based on the Crystal Mythology and expressed in different ways
- The game is more futuristic, it is somewhere between FFX’s fantasy environment and FFVII’s high-tech setting
- The final product will have a lot more variety of opponents and monsters. There will be more human type opponent in cities, while more beasts & organic type opponents out of town
