Final Fantasy XIII Will Use 100% of PS3's Power

[letsnoobtehpwns]

Gonna be able to fry eggs on my 360 when it's running this. And by "this," I mean disc 1 of 10 that the game will come on.

Ewww... You got your FFXIII on my eggs!

I'm horribly confused with this Final Fantasy nonesense. The first two were medieval and so I gave 7 a shot because everyone said it was a blast. Two minutes in I was controlling this bear of a man with a gun for an arm through a nuclear reactor. Is this one in the future as well?

to the limit, does it match up to my computer (not bragging or anything, just wondering whether I would need to upgrade to stay ahead) 3GHz AMD9950 BE, 9800GT OC'd, 4Gb DDR2 800MHz. ?

An interesting pardicamnt came up, the great Indigo_Dingo, the sly bastard, has asked me to post his thoughts on the subject as he is currently sorting out his own ban. If this breaks any rules, I'll remove it right away at the mods requst.

While I'm sorting out this ban, I need to play puppetmaster and get other people to post my thoughts. On the 100% FFXIII thing...

Yawn. By my count, we have this, God Of War III, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo 5 and Quantum theory claiming that they'll be using 100% of the Ps3's power. God of War III has an independent engine running solely for making eviscerations look more real, has branching QTE's, sentient and mobile levels and 60 FPS (dropping to 30 FPS when there's 50 enemies on screen, but thats hardl;y the point). My point is, you can actually see where the power is going. But with this - they're doing what, exactly, that uses that power?

I will say this, though - the release date for the game in the west will, unless they drop that simultaneous release crap, start approaching the Duke Nukem Forever level.

Don't bother quoting me, this is Indigo's opinion.

How much of this "power" will be used for the actual gameplay and how much will be used to drive the overblown cut-scenes and pre-rendered vids?

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!

I refuse to believe this purely because it is history repeating.

After the PS2 was released, dev's kept talking about the "untapped potential" that they had exploited to use all of the hardware. 2 years later, better games were being made that proved that the PS2 was capable of better things.

I reckon that a year after FF13 finally comes out, we'll see something more advanced released.

If its true though, Im expecting something GODLIKE to come of it.

i will need to use every ounce of my brain power to keep my brain from imploding as a direct result of horrible acting.

Anyone who's seen, say, Persona 4, will agree that pushing a console to its limits takes a lot of time.

I don't understand what you're getting at here. Persona 4 only took 17 months to develop and it used the same engine as Persona 3 (which came out in 2006 and looked cheap then). Okami is surely the PS2's crowning (graphical) achievement, given that it still looks way better than most games released for PS3 & 360.

OK, P4 might be a bad example. Or not, I'm sorry, I really don't have any real kind of expertise on console gaming. But what I was getting at is: It's usually really late in the console life that the games which make real use of the platform's capabilities are released. And I think the PS3 will still see a few years with major improvements over FFXIII.

I doubt it

the PS3 has been a big letdown
maybe only FFXIII Versus would be close to using it, the standard one looks poor, i thought they had learnt with 10-2 that having the main character as a girl dosnt work, so its destined to fail
