Final Fantasy XIV Benchmark

XIV is not simply a re-realise of XI. They are re-doing the whole thing so its best to think of it as a separate game rather then comparing to XI.

The Beta for PC is coming out before PS3 beta so I believe its made for PC first, though I do not beleive that BETA PS3 will be too far behind. These (and for future) HD monitors are more widely available so its good they can cater for that.

Also, I beleive I read that the PS3 does not play many game at 1080 but runs them at 720 instead.

Well obviously it's a whole new game. But i still have my doubts whether or not its a PC game or port.

And every game should cater for every resolution. There is no excuse not to anymore.

It is a PC port, it is developed on the PC and ported to the PS3. SE said they are doing it that way and that is why the alpha and early betas are PC only.

If it's being developed on PC, why so lazy and have no full screen/resolution support?

I'm sure the full game will have decent support (hopefully :P), but still kinda sucky for me to not be able to get a good taste of the game due to it being in a 720p window ¬_¬

The Last remnant runs only in 16:9 and letterboxed for any other, and im pretty sure some others are too.

16:9 and letterboxed in 16:10 yes, but you can still pick pretty much any other resolution. I'll agree that the letterbox thing is a bit poor, but unfortunately this seems to be a bit too common with ports these days regardless of the dev.
 
The alpha has only just finished and this is a benchmark program (Though i am miffed at the lack of full screen for this) of course theres no multi resolution support, it wasn't something that needed to be tested in alpha. The whole alpha was windowed 720p. How about we wait until they actually start the closed beta soon before complaining about resolutions?

Also as mentioned by a few other people the alpha was PC only, and the PC beta will be starting soon. The PS3 on the otherhand has no mention of its progress so far, quite obviously developed for PC and going to be ported to PS3 exactly like FFXI was.

I guess that's a good point. The only PC game I've tested in alpha run in 640x480 full screen for quite a while... So I put 16xAA on the test machine and it looked decent enough :P
 
Im in the Beta and there 13 resolutions to pick from and windowed mode is the default in that also.

Downloading test now, pretty crappy DL speed though.

Frm what i can see from posted images it's the same as the start of the game after you first make a character.

We have similar setups. My mobo is a MA770-DS3, we have the same RAM and graphics card, and our CPUs run at the same speed. :p
