Look at the source of the news.

http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_e30802_home.html

Nzone is owned by Nvidia(I think? The copyright says so), I doubt they would put the news on their site if it was fake.

actually nvidia are doing their best to keep the PC gaming alive
since most of the developers gave PC the finger everyone is thinking of buying a console if they haven't already
because we buy expensive material and then leave it to collect dust

this is a good news nonetheless I just hope the combat system is a live action one not a boring unrealistic turn by turn shit

If you actually read the article, it doesn't say ffxiii is coming to pc.

It just says that they are using pc-based cross-platform tools to build the game, but this doesn't mean tey're making a pc version.

In fact, they only talk about ps3 and 360 version in the article.

Now i just wonder if all 3 versions will be out at the same time ? I seriously doubt it but you never know. I wanted to buy it for my PS3 but now if it comes to PC i guess that this is the version i will buy unless it comes out like 1 year after.

FFXIII @ 1650 x 1080 with 4 x AA/16 x AF and a much better framerate and minimal load times ftw !! Very Happy

man, that's pretty cool last FF on the PC was FF8...(edit: forgot about FF11 but for me that doesn't count^^)
nice that Square shows some love for the PC again
though, this may not be the ideal platform for this kind of game *looks at firemaster* Very Happy

Yeah
The only problem though was that the sound for both FF VII and FF VIII on PC was in midi so it sounded like shit Sad

Hopefully they won't make the same mistake with FF XIII but gaming has evolved a lot since then so it's almost impossible.

the lazy tossers didnt even really "port" FF8, i had probs with it and got onto their support and they more or less said that FF8 pc is the pcx version running in an emulator-hence the having to hit alt+F4 to exit the game ..i cant see them pulling a cheapo move like that with ff13, its an unreal 3 engine game


when there is no more room in hell, the D34D will walk the earth

They use their own engine actually. (Or so it seems.)
http://www.actiontrip.com/rei/comments_news.phtml?id=072308_6

Time to dig up the older NES/SNES titles and replay the serie to get up to date on it.
(Unsure about the PS1/PS2 versions but those emulators have also improved a bit.)

Well you don't have to play the old FF gamess to be up to date with the series since the games aren't connected to each other like let's say Metal Gear.

However if you want to play a FF for old time sakes i recommend either FF VII or FF V Smile

I bought a PS3 and o personally don't give a fuck. Only fanboys care about that pointless kind of shit anyway. "OH NOES !!! THE FINALFANTASYZ HAS GONE TO MICROSFT !! FUCK YOU SQUARE AND SONY !@$$!@$".

Doesn't it sound retarded to you ? Laughing . I mean seriously........

I mean it's not like the game made a complete to jump to the other platforms in which case PS3 owners would have a reason to be pissed off. But as it stand it's still going to be released for the PS3 so i see no reason to complain. It may not be a good thing for Sony but i'm not a Sony exec so why should i care ? I never had enough emotional attachement to a console to even care about stuff like that and as long as my PS3 is working flawlessly and the games keep coming i see no reason to panic other that stuff.

Enjoy what you have m life is short Very Happy

FF11 and 12 were no more turn-based than Baldur's Gate was.

That's assuming that it won't be a shitty port. Which is a pretty bad assumption to make.

They are now, though I think the only games FF13 will be connected to will be its own spin-offs, Agito and Versus.

Rob


Xbox 360

0.63M Japan
11.99M America
7.26M Others

PS3

2.28M Japan
5.49M America
6.70M Others

O yes they are just sooo beating Microsoft everywhere else. Rolling Eyes If your going to lie atleast make it a good one and not as blatant as this. Overall the Xbox 360 about doubles the sales of the PS3 and still carries the majority outside North America other than Japan. Now go hug your PS3 and go cry with it in your arms fanboy.

The console only has one exclusive game that is even worth mentioning and even then how long before it ports over? Its fucked on the market unless it can get some damn big name titles behind it as exclusives.

You're getting it backwards, bud! Read the article -- PC version is the real one, it's the PS3 and X360 ones that are ports Very Happy

Woooohooooo!!! FFXIII on the 360 AND the PC? Damn, now what version do I choose? Very Happy

FFXIII has NOT been announced for PC. That was a misinterpretation on nVidia's part.

Square-Enix was talking about their engine, Crystal Tools (which is what FFXIII runs on), now being multi-platform, including PC. They've only PC game they've confirmed that will use it is their next MMO, which will be on PC, PS3, and 360.

That news report from nVidia was posted during E3. If S-E had announced FFXIII for PC during the show, every site on earth would have reported.

So, I repeat, FFXIII HAS NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR PC.

Read their announcement. It was not posted today; it was posted on the first day of E3. If S-E had announced FFXIII for PC during E3, don't you think it would have been reported by every major gaming site?

Again, it is an error on nVidia's part, who misinterpreted S-E talking about Crystal Tools being used on PC, as an announcement of FFXIII for PC.

Don't get me wrong, please! I'm not calling you a liar, I'm just saying - so far - the only two sides come from you and from nVidia. I'd rather believe nVidia at the moment (even though I fucking hate that company, lol)

If you turn out right, I'll happily say "oooh, cool! Cedge was right!"

I don't think you understand. Their claim has already proven itself to be untrue.

The story on nVidia's site is NOT a new announcement. They posted that story on July 14, the first day of E3. No other sites posted stories corroborating theirs. Thus, theirs is a mistake.

Because they we're mislead into thinking that it was a NEW announcement from nVidia, just like you (no offense), when it was actually just them making a mistaken report from during E3.

Just because other sites are only now mentioning and linking to the article on nVidia's site (which is the source they're all getting this "news" from) doesn't change anything. That doesn't change the fact that nVidia, the ONLY primary-source for the claim of FFXIII being announced for PC, posted that story nearly 2 weeks ago, claiming that Square-Enix announced FFXIII for PC at E3, which they clearly did not, seeing as no one else made such a report. It's a freak error on nVidia's part.
