Why does everything have to be final fantasy?


It's Squere Enix, why make a new name when you have a franchise that can be whatever they want it to be? It's a good franchise for a next gen showcase anyway given the heritage of the last couple gens, I mean this looks like their CGI from last gen.

Oh wow, I'd love to see that world. If they made a game like this my faith in the Final Fantasy series would without a doubt be restored.

I seriously doubt this will be the standard for next-gen games. If it is, consider my mind blown.

If this is what we can expect, then it suddenly made the Wii-U seem alot less significant for me...


This, Samaritan/UE4 and to a lesser extent Watch Dogs, and Star Wars 1313 seems to be the industry saying that they are ready for some very powerful next gen consoles.


I sure hope you're right, because I honestly didn't expect CG level graphics in real-time on next-gen hardware. But if this is how it turns out, it's gonna be really exciting.



I don't know why people tell me to get a life. I'm a gamer, I have lots of lives!

The FFVII real time tech demo was a PS3 demo with as much detail as you can put into a single scene on the PS3 without to many set pieces. Not what you would realistically be able to do if you wanted a large number of set pieces.

This however is a completely different story, the real time here has thousands of active characters at any given time and looks like a CGI from this generation. If this is indeed the true power of what the PS4/720/Next-Gen PC's can handle...than WOW huge, huge, huge, HUGE processing boost from this gen to the next.

Were talking around 16 Gigs of Ram for this to be even remotely possible, let alone the GPU/CPU.



...uhh...ill just put my favorite quote of all time here.

"Welcome to Pain, the second of three...You have dealt the first...now deal with me!!"

Here's a wallpaper for all of you.

Genuinely great-looking character design that is fairly un-Squeenix. Excite.

It looks fantastic, but square-enix, where are my games?



Do not allow yourself to be blinded by fear and anger. Everything is only as it is.

very similar to diablo 3 cutscenes good

Oh yeah, Versus XIII's lighting is being done by using this engine. Of course, doesn't really matter much when they don't show anything...

I was so disappointed that Versus XIII was entirely absent.... looks like your thread was right after all. I'm really irritated that SE is capable of producing a story and setting like this and not make anything of the sort for the past 5-6 years. The lighting is indeed very impressive...

They are all on IOS and Android dood



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

Supposedly, Versus is using this engine and that's why the game is delayed, according to adriasang
