But why do they say male, I think is a woman in FFXIII.

Modern times my friend... FF is keeping up... it is obviously a transsexual... hope (s)he will not be the main character!

 

[Samor]

that's a woman. either that or square is losing it like sega.

Oh and Splatt, change your avatar back, will ya! That Kefka sprite was much better

Alas,my friend,on my adventure trough the caves of mystical mojo i've lost my precious avatar,but fear not.
Using barbie doll,toilet paper,10 year old kid and Dr.Pepper i managed to craft another Kefka avatar :thumb:
Bow to my 1337 skillz of craftiness :bow: :bow: :bow:

EDIT:

Impressive shots. I wonder why I get the constant impression that someone stole a tri-ace character here

Anyway, the game looks not bad - like a mixture of Silent Hill, The Thing and Tool Time...

And thanks for changing back to your old avatar

 

[runawayprisoner]

Darkness kinda reminds me of Oblivion graphics... And nontheless, the next Final Fantasy game still looks so good that I wonder... will it look like that in-game? D:

 

[ChankastRules]

that's a woman. either that or square is losing it like sega.

A woman doesn't have a male face like that.... and a male doesn't have a chest like that. My theory must be right, it is a transsexual... so the conclusion is they're losing it like Sega

 

[D.D.]

or ppl need to learn jp / use some common sense. besides, her face looks perfectly within the spectrum of caucasian women, some who are supermodels and actresses.

btw, for those who are still confused, that passage from the translation was about the blonde man.

 

[Exodus]

She doesn't look manly... You guys are probably just used to the feminine male heroes in Japanese games.

 

[CKemu]

She actually looks like a woman, rather than those fem-males or supa-girlies we're so used to, which is rather fab

 

[runawayprisoner]

She actually looks pretty to me. And the statement about the male character cancelled itself out with 33cm since... dudes... even a baby is NOT 33cm in length. Either that or they were talking about something else of his that was about that length but... since they only showed him and his clothes, I think that's not the case. Anyways... "related to weather but has nothing to do with Lightning"... Is it Fuujin? (Raijin and Fuujin are the only names I could think of... lol)

Some more info on Final fantasy XIII and versus

 

[Splatt]

While everything we've seen of Versus so far has been CG concept footage, Nomura revealed that we will at long last get to see the game running on actual PS3 hardware some time this year.

:bow:

:yippee:

MotorStorm Does Not Support 1080p news from 1UP.com

MotorStorm Does Not Support 1080p

By Patrick Klepek, 01/10/2007

"Between a speech by Peter Dille, Sony Computer Entertainment America's senior VP of marketing, and a Sony representative both indicating MotorStorm would debut in the US at 60 frames per second and supporting 1080p resolutions, the Internet's been ablaze with speculation about the off-road racer. Too bad it's all for nothing, as SCEA told 1UP that MotorStorm is most definitely 30fps and remains at a HD resolution of 720p.

HD is new concept for gaming, so the mistake isn't a surprise but certainly a disappointment to many with high-end televisions. According to Sony, people "accidentally got caught up in the greater context of his [Dille] point which is that we currently do have (and will be creating much more) content that does run at 1080p and 60fps for PS3."

 

[ChankastRules]

What the meant was PS3 can't handle motorstorm in 1080p even in 30 fps... maybe they should make an xbox360 version? LOL

well, anyway this is 1up so I wouldn't take it too seriously.

 

[Metalmurphy]

No its true, Motorstorm was never announced as a 1080p game, one spokesperson from Sony said that once by mistake at this week CES and Sony already came out and explain. No biggie.

 

[ChankastRules]

that sucks, 720p and 30 fps..... first 30 FPS sucks for a racing game, second no 1080p..... doesn't suck that much... though it is a bit sad the PS3 can't handle that. even in 30 fps.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Well, PGR3 runs at less then 720p (600p) and at 30fps as well and comparing with Motorstorm its a "simpler" game, less things going on in the screen. I don't think its a problem with the PS3 handling it or not, remember GH HD runs at 60fps at 1080p, they probably didn't have time to optimize it enough. Anyway the game is still pretty smooth despite the 30fps

 

[F-3582]

I get the constant impression that some people/sites tend to be a little unfair in their criticisms.

In my humble opinion everyone tries his/her/its best to make the poor old Xbox 360 look like it is as good as the PS3 - performance-wise (Halo3 w0000000000000t). If not better. No one seems to care about the fact that most games running on the 360 don't even come close to 30 fps on 720p. Don't even think about 60 fps on 1080p.

Meanwhile everyone bashes on those first generation PS3 games because they haven't yet managed to overtake those cool second or third generation Xbox360 games enough to satisfy the ridiculous needs of some editors (See: Fight Night Round 3). Yes, I know that many of these games are really bad, but look at the Xbox 360 launch lineup.

 

[dynamicVoidMain]

yeah sure, wonderful stuff, but when the 360 launched there was no competition for it, and yes, it got bashed to hell and back for being launched too early with crappy titles.

Were dealing with late 2006 now, the 360 has a massive lead with games, when people compare the ps3 to the xbox 360 they compare them because both are out at a retail level.

What do you mean 720p at barely 30 fps? GoW runs smoothely at 720p at a solid 30fps, it is then upscaled to 1080p (provided the TV supports it and you have the firmware upgrade for the 360), then comes fall of man, it runs at 30fps solid at 720p, so?

So long as were talking about framerate problems we should be looking at the ps3 btw Yeah, sure, early in its life, but right now games on the 360 run more smoothely in general.

I'm not sure what you mean, games that will run on the ps3 run at 1080p @ 60fps will be loved by many as great, and ahve been more or less really shown off as cool, yes I'm looking at GTHD, do you think people diss it for running at that HD resolution at that frame rate? They actually praise it for the very same thing.


Look, this is competition were talking about, don't think people will justify the fialings of one system or another and decide to say that doesn't make that system bad, that would be dumb. Microsoft made the decision to launch early and for now it is in fact paying off, are you to say we should ignore the advantages the 360 has over the ps3 at htis point in time because it isn't fair to compare them?


And what the hell is up with HD this or that? Sure it plays a big role in how good a game will look but GoW will look better at 480p than, say, gundam: crossfire at 720p, thats just fact. HD is good, it shows off great when it is used proper like in GTHD and adds that bit of extra realism to the graphics, but it will only do so much.


Really it's all Sony's fault they are getting all this negative press, they trumped up the ps3 as 'true HD' to hell and back, implied crazy things about it, now even when things are a-ok and not terrible news (ie 720p motorstorm which isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination) it backfires like crazy in the PR department.
