It says in the article that they took 6 months to plan the demo and 6 months to develop it.


so 6 months to plan ideas for an engine, and 6 months to develop it, that actually sounds pretty impressive and fast, I think the article have mistranslated things.



Yeah reading it look like they started to plan out the demo as the engine was being built. And they had to learn how to use it. So six months to create the models and script the sequence and optimize really isn't that bad. As a bench mark I how long it too Epic to make their demo from initial planning to end for the UE4 engine.

work ethic? non existant.

motto? manana

point? none.

 

I can provide you a ñ so you can write mañana

I know it can be hard to believe, but not everyone in Spain is lazy, there is a motto here that says Spaniards are great workers and entrepreneurs outside of Spain, but the legal spider web we have makes really hard to prosper here. Our main problem is the fucked legal system we have, and without a good and fair legal system, it's impossible to have a good economy.

couldnt find that on the macbook.

I didnt mean anything by it... just a stereotype, which as it turns out needs to move from Spain to Japanese game developers..

so replace "manana" with "ashita"


We have the same stereotype here, I was born in the "laziest" city of Spain, Cádiz, everybody thinks we only think of party, siesta and vacation, so I'm used to it. I know you said it without malice, so no hurt was done.

LMAO very funny, SE.

On the system they ran this on, the graphics card alone (GTX 680) costs $450-500. That means either A) the next gen consoles will be insanely expensive or B) they've unlocked some sort of holy grail of magically efficient graphical rendering. Or (most likely) the games won't look anywhere NEAR this good--even accounting for how the standard specs for consoles allows for better optimization from devs.

Until they show something like this running on an actual dev kit, I'm not convinced.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

:D

How many people worked on this? How long did they actually spend each day developing/planning. We don't know that information. Some of you people really jump the gun on Square some times.

Oh but i'll tell you a rumor that should make you happy. They siphoned the Versus XIII team members to the XIV team till it's finished :P /rant commence!

We PS3 haters already knew it, so the bashfest happened eons ago. It's not funny anymore to make jokes of Versus, it's like punching a baby in the face.



Holy damn, that is why Versus XIII has not been released yet? WTF?!



Didn't I hear somewhere that Versus XIII is using the Luminous Engine? So I assume this engine is compatible with current gen? This could be the reason why its taking so long......this might be a cross-gen title. They might even be making it for 360 and 720, Wii U even....
