ROFL...my pc of 4 years ago can run this game.

Unarmed_Civilian3507d ago

the game came out 4 years ago. overall it's pretty similar to devil may cry 4

saladthieves3507d ago

Wait what? FFXIII is coming to PC??

Mikefizzled3507d ago

Did you two just have the exact same back and forth on the sites comments?

Unarmed_Civilian3507d ago (Edited 3507d ago )

@ mikefizzled

nah , i was just being lazy as him so i just copied a post too.

kreate3507d ago

It came out in 2009, so 5 years ago. I hope it would be optimized enough to run on old hardware.

Magicite3507d ago

they are doing regular port without any improvements, I guess.

starchild3507d ago

There are always improvements.

ABizzel13507d ago

They could have at least added new textures throughout the game.

TheParanoidx3507d ago

You should be more than happy that you'll be able to play it with no problems..

NovusTerminus3507d ago

Yeah, my 7 year old PS3 ran it fine!

Really, this game is not that demanding (or good for that matter) but they might be testing the waters for FFXV.

MadLad3506d ago

Terrible decision, if so.
Give us an extremely late port of what many fans consider the worst in the series . . . to determine the interest in a new, much more promising looking title . . .

To be fair, Square Enix/Eidos have been doing well by us PC gamers as of late. I don't really see that as being the case. They seem to care about PC gaming as a whole.

Yay, I can run it on Ultra (if there is an ultra)

kevnb3507d ago (Edited 3507d ago )

So it's all three games bundled for $15? That sounds ok actually, not the best games ever but at that price it's fair. I actually enjoyed final fantasy 13 once i stopped comparing it to other final fantasy games.

Kane223507d ago

no, FF13 comes out first for $15.99 and then the other two early next year.

kevnb3507d ago

Oh ok, thanks. Still these games are going to go for $5 on steam sales, I'll buy them at that price.

DevilOgreFish3507d ago

"30 GB available space" The Movies too will be 1080p, that's great news. I wonder how this will also look on a tablet.

trywizardo3507d ago

this is the reason why i stopped being a PC gamer a while ago , PC is getting this after 5 years of its release , and console games are getting ready to play type-0 and XV
yes i know PC have the graphics , but almost all of the games have more issues than consoles (lazy port), and most of action-advinture games comes too late on PC (that if they ever come). and sorry for my bad english ☺
P.S : this is not a troll .

DevilOgreFish3507d ago (Edited 3507d ago )

I saved up and got both. one good reason though why i love PC is the endless archiving of games of both old and new. there are no inconveniences of letting go old games to embrace new games or vice versa on PC.

The only thing stopping your selection from growing is your hard rive.

voodoochild3463507d ago

Of course pc gets CONSOLE games late. People play on pc to play pc games and better versions of the games that come to pc also. If graphics and pc exclusives don't matter to you then play on console. It's not rocket science...

gamernova3507d ago

Bro, you're thinking about it all wrong. The fact that devs are going out to their way to bring games to PC is because they now have massive respect for what is the PC gaming market. We got dead rising 3 and titanfall and I truly expect even more console exclusives to find their way on PC. Do you not think that if FF13 sells well that perhaps we could get same day ports of other FF games same day as consoles? Things are only getting better on PC. Definitely seeing different days from the days that PC wouldn't even get some multiplats.

kevnb3507d ago

its the kind of game I wouldnt expect on PC at all, but little by little we see japanese devs starting to support the pc.

MadLad3506d ago

Blew my mind when I noticed it on Steam earlier today.

The 7 Best Final Fantasy Characters: Unveiling the Legends

While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.

220°

The older it gets, the more I respect Final Fantasy XIII

Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."

Einhander1972125d ago

FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.

I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.

I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.

Nyxus125d ago

I always liked this game, and I agree, a rerelease for current gen would be nice.

Shane Kim124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

Gotta take off the nostalgia glasses. It's the worst FF. Shiva as a bike, I mean come on.

Elda124d ago

Shiva as a bike is strange but saying FFXIII is the worst FF is not at all a fact, that's simply your opinion.

Terry_B124d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

When I got my series X a year ago, I bought FF13 for nostalgia reasons but ended up being disappointed. When I first played it around the time it launched, I didn't have a lot of experience with final fantasy games, so I enjoyed it. Fast forward to when I played it again, I found that the game had many unnecessary filler moments instead of just giving us meaningful content.

The game is also very linear and a quote on the article said it best. "It is like a sewage pipe that leads to the ocean until it opens up on Grand Pulse."

The story didn't make much sense either and I believe it is my mistake as I played the FF7 remake on PS5 prior which is a night and day difference in terms of pacing, storytelling and likeable characters even though cloud is aloof.

FinalFantasyFanatic124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

Probably was a mistake to play any of the golden era FFs first (e.g. FF6 through FF10), it makes it harder to enjoy some of the FFs that aren't as good. I think FF12 was where major issues with the series started becoming apparent, and it just got worse from there.

FinalFantasyFanatic124d ago (Edited 124d ago )

I didn't really care for it that much, the only saving grace was that it had a better story than 15 (overall it was better than 15) and possibly 12, and even then, you had to read some of it through primers, like reading a book. Plus the battle system was reasonably fun for what it was, even if it was more the spectacle that was exciting for me (e.g. summoning). And to be fair, the 13 trilogy got better with every games, I still don't like Snow though.

Gamingsince1981124d ago

Ff13 is only good if you haven't played a ff before, or any other games that are decent for that matter.

-Foxtrot124d ago

It is in fact no way the best Final Fantasy game, it's one of the worst

Linear corridors, Cutscene, Fight, Cutscene...rinse and repeat

Dialogue and characters are pretty bad, especially Lightning as the main FF hero, they literally said they tried to make a "Female Cloud" and they failed.

Story was pretty awful

I could go on

I think the only alright thing that came from the game was the music.

Elda123d ago

That's not a fact that's your personal opinion. The game sold 11 million copies between its 2009 release up until 2014 including critically reviewed as an 8 out of 10 or an 80 out of 100. The game does have some issues but it's not at all a fact as one of the worst FF games.

-Foxtrot123d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy123d ago

N4G commenters such as yourself aren't the majority. The game was well received.

gold_drake125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.

i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.

but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.

but i like 13-2 more :)

i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy

Eonjay124d ago

Xbox kinda did. Besides the video files of course which are still best on PS3 due to bluray.

Snookies12125d ago

XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!

Eonjay124d ago

Totally agree. FF 13 was okay but 13-2 is my favorite FF game ever.

shinoff2183125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.

Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5

KillerB124d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
