FFXIII producer Yoshinori Kitase has told Dengeki PlayStation that his game will have PS3 maxed out.
“Doesn’t the demo use about 50 percent of its power? Of course, I think the retail version will make use of nearly 100 percent,” he said.
Does this mean it’ll redline 360 as well? How the holy hell will the consoles cope?
Kitase went on to say that there’ll be no disc-swapping in the PS3 version thanks to its hard drive and Blu-ray player.
Thanks, Kotaku.

Not lazy, just preference. Like you prefer a crappy system to a reliable one.

100 WOOT. ok. i’ve done my duty.

I don’t prefer either.
Instant fail based on that assumption right there.
Actually criticising the failings of something you own doesn’t mean you don’t like what it can do. As the consumer who bought the product, it’s my right to make a critical analysis of it.

nope.

^ agreed.
I have not own a 360, because i saw my brother go through 3 of them already. I did have a xbox, and it was pretty good.
360 not so much.

I find if you only read every 7th word in O’conner’s posts you uncover a hidden message containing details about global disasters – past, present and ….dramatic pause…. future.
What can this mean? I don’t know. But I think Nicolas Cage should be called in to investigate.

And as I have stated a dozen times already, the 360’s failing have nothing to do with the argument about the PS3’s forced installations and why they are required, which you continue to ignore despite being provided with the technical specifications of the hardware and words from the mouths of developers and tech experts themselves.

Michael – Ok, Blu ray is slower than dvd..blah blah…
but you have even said that its possible to make a great game without installs right? So its NOT always going to be the case. So its possible that ff13 WONT HAVE AN INSTALL? (caps make it true)
Can you say that FF13 will NOT HAVE MULTIPLE DISKS? Lets see your answer to that.
Shatner… is he ignoring you and he’s upset that i “ignore his comments’?
Shatner said:
Yes SERAPHEMZ.
Funny, isn’t it?
SERAPHEMZ said:
Yeah, cuz its seems that he’s hurt that i dont listen to his mumbo jumbo jargon talk and when you threw yours out there he completely ignored it, maybe cuz you know more than him like he knows more than me??

I thought HDD install nullifying RroD was mumbo jumbo jargon talk myself.

Exactly.. you’ve been gone for like the past 80 posts.

No its true. U MUST BE A PS3 FANBOY.

Yes, Final Fantasy XIII likely will have multiple discs on the Xbox 360. The resolution of the textures might even be lower. Yes, the technically superior version probably *will* be on the PS3, and it very likely that the PS3 version will be the version of the game I will rent / buy.
But so what? If having to change a disc is such a big fucking deal that it defines your choice of console to buy it on, the problem isn’t with the game; it’s with your own lazy ass.
4GB of hard-drive space on the other hand, is a much bigger deal. That’s a few hundred songs. That’s a dozen TV shows. That’s thousands and thousands of pictures. That’s a half dozen games from the PlayStation Store.
If the game doesn’t require a HDD install, I’ll be buying it for the PS3. If it does, I’ll be buying it for the Xbox 360.
“I thought HDD install nullifying RroD was mumbo jumbo jargon talk myself.
But hey, what do I know about anything.”
The entire hardware, from a pure construction point, was extremely fragile in its original run. The RRoD can occur because of the most insignificant failing occurrence in the machine’s hardware architecture.
Newer models are thankfully more reliable, but its still a problem. It’s a bit like the Blue Screen of Death; it occurred because of very insignificant problems in the old version of Windows, like a driver temporarily not loading. Newer versions just ignore them completely instead of throwing a hissy at the smallest error.
The Red Ring of Death is just an over-sensitive security measure. It locks you out of using the machine over the smallest discrepancies, which is frankly retarded, and the one who gets screwed over because of it is the consumer.

Oh really?
“The Red Ring of Death is just an over-sensitive security measure. It locks you out of using the machine over the smallest discrepancies, which is frankly retarded and only screws over the consumer.”

Yeah, I *totally* dismissed the 360’s hardware problems there, didn’t I?

Translation: even though it might break down. I prefer no install.
ok.. now im done.

My Xbox 360 has not broken down in the two years I’ve owned it. If it does, I can get it replaced free of charge with a newer, more reliable model.
I know someone with a PS3 whose machine broke down a few weeks after the warranty ran out. They had it only over a year. They had to pay to get it repaired.
I can take my hard-drive out of my Xbox 360 without invalidating my warranty. I can’t with my PS3 (at least not in Europe, I don’t know what the situation is for the rest of the world).
My data is more important than the device it is stored on.
lelik said:
R U DUMB!! OMG!!
u wont get a free xbox if ur xbox hasn’t broken down for 2 years. YOU HAVE NO WARRANTY WITHOUT RROD.
and the hard drive situation is the complete opposite.

That why I said *if* it does. Three year warranty.
