  • MrRobbyM

    I don't know how to view each pic full :/ Anyways, this is bound to start a massive fanboy war. I heard the PS3 version runs and looks slightly better than the 360 version.

  • Erren

    Button swaps, not actual direct feed shots.

  • maxdrive

    I tend to lean towards sony fanboyism but, they honestly look the same.

  • Nabe

    The screens look exactly the same except for the buttons. Suspicious. If their point was to say that there will be no difference between the two consoles I guess this works, but I would rather see some real comparisons…

  • Ereek

    Seconded on this. It certainly would be interesting if the games looked this identical, but I don't think it's going to happen.

  • http://www.siliconera.com Spencer

    I realize it's strange that they look exactly the same, but these were sent to us by Square Enix so I they're official as they get.

  • http://pt-pt.facebook.com/people/Lyh-Scully/613703032 Lyh Scully

    ill juge when i see them running side by side , these shots are very fishy , and ofc it depends if you have a big HD tv to notice the big diferences , my japanese FF13 runs at 1080 P soooo no the versions cant truly be equal after all they are difrent consoles.

  • Erren

    They're obviously bullshots.

  • clyde_223

    i see no difference. why does this ever matter?

  • Strike_Man

    They're official shots, but Erren and Nabe are correct in pointing out that only the interface has been modified.

    The most likely reason for this is that they were created for Sqeenix to send these out to the various media outlets that only cover a single platform (such as Sony's Playstation blog or Team XBOX), as opposed to sites that cover all systems (Siliconera, Edge, Game Informer, etc.). I'm sure any console-specific site or magazine would prefer to accompany their articles with screenshots that at least appear to show the game running on “their” system, even if it is just smoke and mirrors.

    Of course, the only other explanation is that Square has created the first pixel-for-pixel multiplatform game this generation, but that's extremely unlikely.

  • http://twitter.com/atmey atmey

    Either photoshoped, or really outdone. shame on bayonetta.

  • Raiyu

    Just because they look the same doesn't mean they will play the same…not to be a “fan boy” but I'm pretty sure that the gameplay will probably be slow on the 360. (Though thats not stopping me from buying it for the 360)

  • UVERoo

    ZERO difference. At least from these screens. At least on 720p cable monitor and four eyes

  • ndjn3979

    Who. Cares.

  • crunc

    Comparing screenshots is pretty much as entertaining as it gets!

  • TetsuyaHikari

    Obviously shooped. Spencer, you've been trolled by Square-Enix if you think these are legit. These screenshots basically say, “Look. There is no hardware difference whatsoever between the PS3 and XBOX 360″ when we all know, that isn't true.

    I'm not going to start a flame war here, but I will say, if anything..there would at least be differences with the lighting (see Resident Evil 5). So, I wouldn't really put much into who these came from. I know a shoop when I see one :P

  • SlashZaku

    Probably this. Button swaps just so they don't have do a batch for each version and console-specific sites. Magazines share shots all the time (PSM/PTOM and OXM did cause they had the same mother company).

  • http://saikasou.wordpress.com/ malek86

    I call bullshot. I'd rather wait until some unaffiliated sites do a proper comparison with the final product. I'm pretty sure Digital Foundry will do it.

  • MrMee

    Early hands-on impressions of the 360 version state that they look and play identical. I remember an interview somewhere mentioning that the crystal tools engine had the same output on both consoles without favoring either one.

  • Xeahnort

    Only fanboys would care about that XD

  • kurefu

    FAAAAAAAAKEEEE!!!!!!

  • thebanditking

    Bingo.

    and

    http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/…

    There a 1px line from one and another image, for the buttons iface, thats denotes a bad editing… tsctsctsc…

  • thebanditking

    These are just button swaps, no game can be that identical on two completely different platforms. PS3 screens, 360 buttons simple as that. We wont see direct shots until its out, but we dont need to, the 360 version has already been said to be less then the original. If you only have a 360 then at least you can play the game. Though if like me you have both, then the PS3 is the best way to go.

  • thebanditking

    Spencer what are you on damage control today? Your smarter then this, WAY smarter. I have come to expect a certain level of professionalism from this site and its painfully obvious these are button swaps. Do you really think S-E wants people to be able to tell the differences in the official shots? Reguardless of the outcome thats just bad press. You know it , I know it. If this were Kotaku or Destructoid I would expect that but not here.

  • thebanditking

    No, early hands on impressions from almost every media outlet (outside Gamespot UK and 1up who I dont trust) and from hands on accounts from FF13 Bus testers (including some I know) have all said the 360 version looks less detailed and both the character models and textures are lower res, and also show some minor pixelation in the cutscenes due to the compression.

  • thebanditking

    Nice find!

    Lol,oh SE how you amuse me!:D

  • http://www.twitter.com/christaran Chris Taran

    People who want the best looking version of the game? Or people simply curious on the differences that may exist between the two?

  • MisterNiwa

    B i n g o, and Bingo was his name, sir.

    Exactly my thoughts.

  • onlymybass

    No difference…?

  • Raiyu

    That is pretty much what I read from before as well. Which is why I came to that conclusion.

  • Raiyu

    http://golgotron.com/2010/02/square-enix-releas…

    Right on the money bro. Looks like S.E. did some shooping here.

  • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

    Guys, something you need to keep in mind is that, as Spencer pointed out, these are “official” screenshots.

    Now, keep in mind that we all know they look identical save for the “button swaps” but as some of you pointed out, we do try to maintain a level of professionalism. For this reason, we can't go about claiming they're button swaps unless we have substantial evidence. Doing it in the comments (and rightfully so) is different from doing it in the main post itself. This is why we have a community of hardcore sleuths. :P

  • http://www.myanimelist.net/profile/Hraesvelgr Hraesvelgr

    It just matters to fanboys.

  • SpaZaA
  • http://saikasou.wordpress.com/ malek86

    Well, apparently Squenix has admitted it on Twitter.

    “We are looking into how the #FFXIII altered screens ended up in our presskit &will update asap. This was obviously not intentional…”

    I'm eagerly awaiting for some proper screenshots.

  • bugmeknot

    Just run md5sum on a pair of images, they are identical:
    104ee6ef19aa2670e350d77333e44288 *ff13p_fi1.jpg
    104ee6ef19aa2670e350d77333e44288 *ff13x_fi1.jpg

  • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

    I wonder how you Photoshop with accuracy like that “unintentionally.”

  • http://saikasou.wordpress.com/ malek86

    I know. That probably reads “whoops, you got us, now we have to act like we didn't mean it”.

    How long until some real screenshots, then?

  • Ereek

    Haha oh wow.

    And here there were people trying to defend SE on some sites.

  • http://twitter.com/kidfenris Kid Fenris

    “early hands on impressions from those who tested both and from hands on accounts from FF13 Bus testers…”

    Do you have links to any of these impressions? I'd like to read them.

  • http://www.creativelifeform.com/ Rohan

    So, obviously these are just images which have been taken from the PS3 version, and photoshopped to make them look like the 360 version. No way that they could be 100% exactly the same on either console.

  • ndjn3979

    You, sir, replied in such a civilized manner that I have no sponge hammers to smack you with.

  • badmoogle

    But the thing is that it was very obvious.Did they thought that the fans are idiots or something??

    I always thought that the game will have almost identical graphics for both versions but now i'm not so sure anymore.

  • http://saikasou.wordpress.com/ malek86

    I don't know. I guess some companies are kinda out of touch with the customers. Squenix seems to be one of those.

  • http://www.facebook.com/Meghterb Mohammed Al Sharief

    Yeah lol.

  • Flyzer

    If that what you say is true, this is the first multi-platform game that is better in PS3 than in XBOX 360.
    That`s why I doubt PS3 is better and because xbox 360 FFXIII engine is mutch newer than PS3, like 5 years newer.
