    Dragon's Dogma is a Capcom RPG that's pretty good. Thread here:http://www.rerolled.org/showthread.p...ma-Dark-Arisen

    I didn't outright hate FF13, but I do think it's one of the weakest titles. The only genuinely bad one I've played is FF2, though I haven't played FF3 yet. I guess I should download it to my PSP.

    Anyone who doesn't think this significant of a difference won't matter is pretty much crazy. Plus, not only is that quite a significant power difference, there were a few leaks about the PS4 being much more accessible to program for and that developers had much more access to the hardware while...

    A significant power difference also separates the two. There is an awfully big difference in how their RAM works and the bus customizations and the GPU difference is pretty big (supposedly). Reading is fucking hard for this board:http://gamasutra.com/view/feature/19...rk_.php?page=1

    Yeah, that's my biggest impression of it by far. I think they're going to be in for a rude awakening when Sony gives them real competition in the NA market and they don't dominate it to the extent that they did this last generation this time around and that they're going to be feeling pretty...

    13's not very good, 13-2 is pretty good though. 7/8/9 you're probably really better off emulating with epsxe since they're extremely painful on the eyes otherwise. 1/5/6 on PSN are all perfectly playable though.

    Second worst, maybe. FF2 has a special place in hell as the absolute worst for sure.

    Nah, FF12 is pretty decent compared to FF2. That shit is seriously bad. Has like a worse leveling system than Oblivion did.

    Sony has long since changed their bullshit behavior towards third parties and they have said as much. Also the head PS4 system architect is super fucking white.

    No, it wasn't. Some parts were, but some really important parts were not (hi ram!). It was also a horrible bitch to program for and developers were all given manuals in Japanese and Sony basically made them translate it all on their own to start with. That is a completely different situation...

    And that does not mean that they will run and look the same. That means the level/game design is based around the weakest one, not how well it runs or looks on a given system. Jesus Christ, that's totally dropping the ball on understanding what conforming to he lowest common denominator means...

    If, yeah I know it's just an if right now, the reports are right they are most certainly not going to look and perform almost identically. That's some fucking asinine shit dude, there's a significant enough difference in the specs that goes well beyond what the X360/PS3 are to each other. This...

    There's only one III:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_IIIIt's an NES game that is also on the DS and PSP, it is not FF6. America has used he proper numbering system since1999and that's what we're using here, anyone not using it is adipshit. Tuco has deemed it so.

    It will, if you design for it. This shit isn't going to run anything and everything under the sun at a maxed out setting though. It's notthatpowerful. It's still not going to compare to what a high end PC can put out.

    Except neither of them have enough power to outputanything you could throw at themat 1080p @ 60 fps. You could easily bring both the known system specs to their knees if you wanted to and with the supposed differences between the two the PS4 could look and/or run significantly better if you went...

    FFII is the single worst Final Fantasy game ever made, you are not missing anything by not having played it. I'm pretty sure Versus XIII isnevergetting released. If it is, it won't be called Versus XIII and will have been rebranded as FFXV or something else.

    There's nothing secretive about the Xbone's GPU. They're getting the same APU (CPU/GPU combo chip) from AMD that the PS4 is, only less powerful (18 compute cores Vs. 12 compute cores) and they likely aren't doing as heavy a custom job on the bus to make it better as Sony is doing with the one...

    I'm a fan of whatever the best bet is. The X360 was for a long time and I was a huge PS2 fan before that, etc. I do not see the Xbone being the best system this time around by any stretch of the imagination. I have absolutely 0 company loyalty. I go with whatever will serve me best.

    I don't know anyone who bought into CELL. The spec leaks on the other hand have been spot on and they have the Xbone's GPU unit, which is basically the same one that the PS4 uses, being significantly less powerful. 18 compute units on the PS4's version Vs. 12 on the Xbone's. Other than that they...

    The PS4 isprobablygoing to be a better system because, chances are, it's going to be a good bit more powerful. Better ram with amassivelybetter bus and customization and access to more of it (games are capped at 5gb on the Xbone) andverylikely a beefier GPU if the leaks about it prove to be true...

    Final Fantasy I, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX are all on the PSOne Classics part of PSN. There's also XIII and XIII-2 for regular PS3 games and this fall FFX/X-2 are getting a HD Remake on the PS3 in one package. I don't think III is on PSN, could be wrong. XII might be getting a HD...

    There was absolutely nothing of value said in the "architecture stream." About the only thing they did was further confirm the spec leaks of them using inferior DDR3+ESRAM setup. The most probably scenario is that the leaks are true and it's using an identical CPU and a GPU that's something...

    Nope, totally separate games. The only ones that fit together are direct sequels like X-2 and XIII-2. They share some common themes and references, but for all intents and purposes they are completely separate worlds and universes.

    Pretty sure they didn't say CoD was coming first, they said CoD map packs were coming first - which is business as usual. The X360 has had timed exclusive map packs/DLC forever now.
