Final Fantasy XIII PC |OT| Lightning must not be forgotten
- Thread starter Yoshichan
- Start date
I wouldn't even unlock it if it was 30 FPS
For this game, I'd rather put any additional GPU headroom into running it at higher quality. 6k 30 FPS here I come!

The XIII games were always interesting from a technical perspective. Unlike most series which build upon their tech and improve visually the series regressed on that front.
You had original XIII which was developed as a PS3 exclusive for some time and then lead on PS3 when it went multiplat. On PlayStation it boasted high levels of detail, poly counts, polish, IQ, AA and stable frame rate. Even Pulse being fairly expansive held a solid FPS with all the monsters around. Then you had the 360 version which was sub-hd and had some massive fps dips.
XIII-2 was built as a multiplat title from the start. The framerate took a massive hit across both versions. The sky boxes were also massive downgraded and it made the visuals much less impressive. Along with that monsters werent even visible on the field so you would think they could keep the FPS locked.
Lightning Returns was simply constrained by budget. Less resources so it was a rush job and the least polished title despite being the 3rs entry. Sure the environments were bigger but the polish went downhill.
XIII original on PS3 was really impressive technically and its a shame they didn't build upon that. Looking forward to seeing how it looks on PC.

I won't bitch about the framerate lock, my monitor is 60hz anyway. Just as long as the lock doesn't do anything funky with my inputs or is v-sync based.
Who am I kidding, I have screen-tearing issues anyway even with only 60fps.

6k ;_;
and here i am with my new 4K TV i believed it was the top notch. lol
but im not going that far. im just gonna play it on my regular 1080 PC screen.
im pretty confident that my crossfirex would be able to run it just fine.
also, durante-senpai noticed me!

paradigm shift you say?
Wait really? So you have to wait to release? That's stupid.

Looking forward to this myself.
Trying to get into FFs, have always wanted to. The only thing I don't like about FFs is the Turn based Combat, (Hence why I'm looking forward to FFXV a lot), as I feel I'm:
1. Not so good at it
2. Boring in practice
Trying to overcome these though, playing through FFVIII when I can, and FFXIII, I did try on 360 once, but wanna give it a better attempt. (That and on PC I imagine it'll be glorious)
Downloaded FFXIII last night, took around 5 hours. Never downloaded something to big before on PC, so hoping its worth it!

So if i;m reading right it's locked to 60FPS and full 1080p?
Any idea of levels of Texture levels and tessellation etc etc?

where did it get confirmed its 1080?
It's 60 FPS, no information so far about rendering resolution.

Nothing about max resolution yet. I hope it's not 1080p, it'd make my 4k monitor weep.

Ah must have misread about the resolution
suppose at least we know about the FPSIf somebody manages to make a free-cam mod I would consider getting this some day. The chocobo park level (chapter 8 was it? oh man I forgot everything >.<) had a tall fancy looking clock tower you could never fit in the view, it would be cool see the levels from unintended angles.
Let's go !
Holy shit. And I was so happy with me 11MB/s

When does this unlock? Strange that a game wouldn't unlock at midnight.
EDIT: NVM, I cant read good.

pretty sure not as bad as mine

I pity all you muggles with mere consumer-grade internet - I had this fully downloaded a mere twenty minutes of me starting preload.

Am I the only one that had to delete some files before installing this game?
My 250GB SSD was not enough... and I'm considering buying another one...

the only thing im ok with my ISP is that these 400+kbps has been solid so far.
they are pretty cool guys and dont apply throttle to me.
oh and the ping to USA is usually low (40-30ms)
Let's go !
51MB/s is exactly 51 times faster than my download speed

High-res screenshot thread will be so glorious for some of the set pieces of the game.
I would certainly try. I don't expect it will be though.
