Squeenix Final Fantasy XIII

I think because they did that port for their streaming service in japan. Streaming services are shit and don't require 1080p games so no work on resolution.

If they only did it for Japan they wouldn't have bothered with a Western release. People have suggested they have to pay licencing costs for the English dub - royalties to the voice cast or something like that.

- cutscene videos have bad bit rate than PS3 version.

I expected this, the ps3 version maxed out a dual layer Bluray, this port had dual audio for a similiar size.

I would have thought the 50GB download would have taken care of that.

They would be insane not to release it to west. It's dictionary easy money even if they would need to pay for VA licenses.

It is actually just 30GB compared to 40GB for ps3 version. 60GB is because it has jap audio cutscenese with jap lipsync (so every cutscene*2)

My download from Steam is 50GB, not 30GB.

 

[Perkel]

Because it is packed. When you unpack game (after downloading) game should be 60GB.

Actually you need whooping 110GB free space to install it as you first download 50GB installer and then you need 60GB for actual game. After game installs 50GB installer is deleted.

 

[GrainWetski]

The cutscenes are 20GB per language.

 

[Perkel]

gadesato update is up.


Still fucking 59% to download....

You can download that graphic mod/fix thing from here:

The installer will grab the latest version.

That's not really an issue if you use a good codec. If you go to your favourite torrenting site and search for Bluray rips, you'll often find the same films in two different sizes: ~10GB and ~50GB. The latter are encoded with the MPEG-2 codec, while the former have been either re-encoded into or ripped from Bluerays using MPEG-4. I am certain you'll find videophiles that can tell by the pixels whether something is MPEG-2 or MPEG-4, but for normal viewers the two are basically indistinguishable.
In short, they could easily fit it in if they re-encoded their video. Installing new codecs on a Windows machine is much easier than on a console and would allow for better compression. I guess you can hardly expect it from a developer that can't even add 1080p support though.

There's a hi-res patch out already and I still haven't gotten my key from Nuuvem.

 

[Tehdagah]

Durante already fixed it.

He uploaded already (lololol) to gamesyde 1080p/60fps video

He did it in less than 60 minutes people.

This does look pretty good for a PS3 port.

Because Visual Works simply downscaled their assets to PS3 quality same with skyboxes. Everything you see actually is there in backgroud. Techology wise game isn't stellar but from art side (env) is phenomenal)

Lake breshia even today is fucking amazing looking place i'll do some screenshots when my game download completes.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Contemplating contemplating...

Spoiler

Okay forget it.

By the way did the same environment artists who did Macalania in FFX do Lake Breshna in XIII? Because that ice looks a lot like FFX's.

I was going to not remove this from inventory.

+56Gb

It doesn't look nowhere near ffxiii's

When does combat become more than just auto-attack with Lightning? It's fucking boring.

Post-game

About 3/4 of game.

Also switch off auto attack and minimap in options.

 

[Duraframe300]

I dunno

On second thought, though. Probably not. I thought its possible because of the overlap between the teams.

 

[Perkel]

Beside being ice i don't see how it is at the same level art or tech wise.

But yeah that place looked good in fx.

Also both of those games are very similar to each other but one of them had actually good story thus problems like complete linearity were forgotten.

Yeah, i see no difference.

 

[pippin]

inevitable Humble Final Fantasy Bundle.

oddly enough, there were no ff games in the recent squeenix humble bundle.

I meant art style wise of course. But yeah probably I'm fooled by the ice being ice.
