Square Enix Confirms FFXIII Is Not Exclusive To PS3


Recommended Posts

Thinking about it more, it has to be either to the PC, the 360 or another game altogether to the Wii. It would be too difficult to maintain a similar game on the Wii and it would be too stupid to ignore the advantage of making a game that would only work on the Wii because of it's unique control scheme.

That being said, if it comes to the PC or 360, shouldn't a port either way be very simple? I mean from what I understand making a game for the PC pretty much means you can port it to the 360 with little problems. Why ignore the 10million console installed base?

I told you SO! :laugh: :rofl: :p

and I can't tell anything else cuz I know WAAAYYY too much about this... :shiftyninja:

He knows something about FF360 that I want to know! *explodes*

A Final Fantasy game on the 360 would be awesome. Not some FFMMO, I don't like MMOs. I want to sink my teeth into a juicy story filled with characters I actually care about. I've played so many disappointing games lately :(

Okay, simply because you responded my hopes have gone way up. If it's not coming to the 360, I will personally find you and tell you how disappointed I am to your face! :p

It would be extremely easy, but the even cooler fact that makes this all the more believable is the fact that the engine on which FFXIII runs is made to be multi-platform, meaning that even a port from the PS3 to the 360 would be extremely easy as well.

haha i read this the other day, shook my head, and figured this would make it on neowin eventually. now, i'm not saying that ff13, the main game, is not going to the 360, but this report does not confirm or deny anything at all. this site doesn't list their source (which should give you an idea of how credible they are), but they are referring to comments made by motomu toriyama in australia's psm, saying that Fabula Nova Crystallis "isn't just limited to three titles" and that "it's not simply exclusive to the PS3 and mobile phones". he does not say that ff13 is going to be multiplatform, he said fabula nova crystallis will be multiplatform. fabula nova crystallis refers to the series that ff13 will be part of (sort of like how ff7 branched of into a series of different games), not the game itself. as of now, ff13 is still a ps3 exclusive. but that may change in the future.

just wanted to clarify that this is not an official announcement that it's going to the 360. if you don't believe me, go here...

i'll quote what this site says

I'm glad I read through the thread before posting. I was just about to post the same thing, lol.

I was going to do the exact same. Unless I hear it explicitly stated, it's still considered speculation that they're referring to FF13 specifically.

Would be nice to see it on the pc but I remember how bad FF7/FF8 ports were.

RE4/DMC3 are suppose to be pretty average ports as well.

Think we need to see a FF game for the pc built from scratch!!

Shouldn't be an issue anymore with the new engine... It's platform-independent, so it can port easily from one to the next.

Outdated HDMI specs *cough cough* :devil:

Let me ask you something.. Do you have an HDTV that actually supports 1.3 HDMI? If not, I don't know what you're complaining about. Also, even if a device/television does support HDMI 1.3, that doesn't mean it's actually using any of the big features it comes with.

FF8 was pretty good actually. The FMV's were finally up to the quality as the PSX one's, the MIDI support wasn't screwed up, and the backgrounds looked far cleaner despite the resolution increase. But I will agree about FF7, even though the PC port was how I played the game.

You and many people forget the audio, HD audio that parts of this medium. Yes I will have a full flung pre/pro with 1.3 specs once they come out in the late summer early fall. To hell with the image, my HD set works great with component or VGA, however to get that HD surround sound audio, HDMI 1.3 is a necessity.

I'm absolutely addicted to FF I started way back when on sega. So I"m very happy to hear that news. My fiancee saved up for months to get his 360 so at least now I know I have a chance of playing FF again.

Sega? do you mean SNES? atleast to my knowledge they were never out on the genesis.

I'm totally baffled why anyone would care if it's coming to the 360. I could understand if it were cancelled for the PS3 and then became a 360 exclusive or smth, but who cares if it comes to the 360 as well? It's not like you won't still be able to play on PS3 as well. I think it's totally pathectic these fanboys getting all worked up about exclusives. I mean, get a life. Your system still gets it so who gives a fack?

Seriously, it's ridiculous. The uproar for DMC4 being a non-exclusive was retarded as well. I'm not sure if you saw it, but there was an actual petition online saying that if Capcom kept it non-exclusive that PS3 owners would boycott all Capcom games. How moronic is that?

You asked the same question in the "PS3 gets 2 360 games" thread. The issue with it is that exclusives sell consoles. Think Sonic or Mario. If you take away the exclusivity of playing specific games and add to that the fact that the games look the same on the 2 systems you pretty much have no reason (excluding watching movies) to purchase the more expensive console. Thus sales suffer and the more expensive console leaves the market.

Cloudstrife also mentioned that if you start porting everything, since the 2 systems are so different, you end up with a lowest common denominator game instead of a game that can take advantage of the system's strengths.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
