Look pretty good. Definitely plausible for the near future.

I don't know really know anything about tech specs and stuff, but this looked like it could just as easily be a PS3 game to me.

The thing is, even with the current gen, animation quality is most of what makes actual real time gameplay look bad. And better tech specs aren't gonna change that. Of course, these days you could slap some quick time events onto that movie and people would call it game of the year.

Too bad if that's a game, it will take 10 years to come out. I might even be dead by then.

Well, if there's one thing FFXIII got right, was being pretty

pretty late, that is

show me a ps3 game that looks this good in realtime, because I'm really not sure the ps3 is capable of this!

Those who think this could run on any currently existing consumer PC have no idea how computer graphics work.

This demo is so far beyond today's graphics it's ridiculous. Crysis 2 and Unreal Engine 4 can go to bed.

Too bad the next console generation won't actually have graphics like this though! Not only because the consoles won't be powerful enough, but because this stuff costs a fortune in time and money to make and gaming is struggling economically as it is.

But it sure was nice to look at!

I suddenly feel the urge to go drink some coke.

Dr voltchball - best in the world.

This looked pretty great. I just wonder when the console that runs games like that comes out. Because the WiiU (despite being next gen) sure as hell can't.

I want a coke... No wait... a Dr Pepper in a coke bottle.

S-E put up a feedback form on what people thought of the Tech Demo. Feedback might influence later games, who knows.

https://form.square-enix.com/a.p/933

Very impressive, but it's what you do with the power that counts, and SE can't do anything special for consoles these days.

We are living our lives
Abound with so much information

The animation is way beyond what I've seen in any current gen game.

They still make good games imo, but I don't really care as much about "golden era Square" as other people.

Yeah, and I probably care more than most. I'm envious. Almost. :P

http://img.imgcake.com/Jeffzeropngus.png

I should probably say I don't care much about it at all. FF8 through the present is probably my favorite stretch of Square, but I haven't gotten to play some of their SNES/PS1 titles yet so my opinion could change whenever I get the chance to play those.

Toriyama isn't on the credits. Maybe FF can be good again.

I care a lot about FFVII-FFX.

XIII-2 is still my current GotY. (though I've only played 2 games that released this year, so maybe that's not saying too much >_>)

Btw, due to mobile bandwidth concerns I can't rewatch it for several hours. Hiroyuki Itou wasn't listed in the credits, was he?

Hmm, Hashimoto... I'll have to do some research. I'm usually pretty good about Square names, but lately as my interest has dwindled I've slacked.

All I got for Hashimoto on a quick search was Sonic games. This...this can't be right can it?

Man, my phone is screwing up. If I'm repeating things, I apologize. But thanks, I'll do some Hashimoto research later.

Alright, seeing it twice was once more than enough for me, but I figure I'll give this thing a bump.

Even the final fantasy wiki doesn't have anything on a Yoshisawa Hashimoto.

I'm thinking he was probably given control over this project because it isn't an actual game. Either that or it is an actual game, and they're using an alias for the next eighteen months before unveiling the director at a prestigious closed-curtain event, because LMFAO SE.
