Final Fantasy XV tech demo presentation by Tabata (Demo gameplay details added)
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
Wait, this isn't running on a PS4? How do you know?
If it's running this well on a PC then the official PC port will be glorious
Its a tech demo, where they have to show all the features in a pristine state. The console versions are not in a state to show like that yet, although i am convinced the trailer for TGS was early PS4 footage
Not sure where you got that. I think you might be letting your dreams run away again with your PC hopes.

I don't know why you equate that to Uncharted.
Final Fantasy has alwats had amazing set piece moments. Escaping Figaro castle on chocobos anyone?
This is probably devPC footage.
Full demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdjlI4PeEbI Still low quality though.

Not PS4? Bummer. But fuck it I'm sure the game will be great anyway.
The gameplay footage or the concept trailer? Because this seems like the same gameplay demo they made the gameplay footage with last year, just with more polish and refinements. Definitely seems like a battle system vertical slice to me. On the other hand the concept trailer was never real to begin with! It was made by Silicon Studio!

hmmm, sounds interesting, but i hope its not over powered. Maybe the game is so fast that they had to design it this way.
i don't know about you guys, but this is extremely good news to me. I feel relieved for Square to be honest if this is true. The game is constantly looking better and better(especially after this trailer and tech demo)... and i have a feeling that Luminous has something to do with it.
The gameplay one that was still using PS3-era models for both characters and environment.

Last's year's trailer straight up had noctis running through a building that was turning, jumping on vehicles that were standing on buildings that were falling, standing on vehicles spinning in the air while looking at a crazy leviathan thing, climbing up a large-ass statue that was falling (that really did look like uncharted).
I didn't see any of that in the new trailer. Might make for a nice, highly scripted intro sequence though.

Was the most important question in our minds adressed?
Does Stella = Luna?

Awesome!
I feel like they have been saying this ever since it was still versus XIII

Man I am not at home right now, but that Nomura picture makes me sad.

Very very good chance. Probably later though after the console release. Gotta pull in those PS4/XBO numbers first.

After the XIII announcement, higher than ever. I'd almost say "guaranteed", given enough time (less than two years from console release)

Well, asset improvements are expected, but it's nice to see that mostly everything showcased in that gameplay demo wasn't pie-in-the-sky nonsense like FFXIII's gameplay concept debut.
The only thing's missing from this demo, really are short-burst teleport, the effects of the rotating weapons around Noctis and the Behemoth combat set-piece of 'Noctis attaching swords all arounds its body and blows it up with magic.' Everything else is there, except a tad bit slower.
Twin sisters duh!
Very high. They can't afford to keep it consoles any longer.
Plus they are bringing over many FF to the PC, including FF13 Saga.
I bet the PC port will be delayed like 6-12 months after the console versions release.
Similar to GTA 5
I think it's the same base demo which they're using to test technical improvements. So it's the same basic area which has a short generated encounter, and they've been improving the assets while developing the rest of the game. This seems like their public report card where they dump all the improvements back into the same demo to show their progress. Lol.

no confirmation that this was said in the demo?

I think it really depends on how XIII sells. The PC gaming market is huge -- and easily accessible through Steam, but if XIII doesn't sell well then I think we can forget about XV.
If XIII sells wells, XV on PC is an inevitability.
I don't see why those models weren't workable.
Enhance skin and clothes textures and keep the rest.
All new info is in the OP. Someone else mentioned it too.

Well, the new trailer shows them in the overworld map mostly, with none of the story sequences.
I fully expect the actual scripted sequences to pretty much still be Final Fantasy Uncharted.
They will release it on PC irrespective of FF13's performance on the platform. These new
consoles are way too similar to PCs for them not to port it over, where I imagine the
costs to do so will be insignificant.
Plus, FF15 has the added benefit of 8 years worth of hype
That makes sense. Will be interesting to see if the promises made this time will hold though lol.

The trailer was from the demo so it won't feature anything as extreme.
I just don't see the E3 2013 trailer as something that's uncharacteristic of Square. They were making incredible cinematic sequences way before Naughty Dog.
Infiltration and escape of the Shinra building. Weapon attack of Junon. Battle between Balamb and Galbadia Garden. Escape from Figaro Castle in FF VI. Technolgy just allows more interactivity nowadays (something that Naughty Dog mastered, I will concede).

Lol you might want to slow down that PC hype until an offical aanouncement dude. If they don't follow through with that and you keep up these hype levels you'll come out more jaded Kagari after the Lightning Saga

That's always been an important part of KH's battle system, and I'm 100% sure this will have it as well since Nomura has always stated this was an evolution of that.
The rotating weapons is probably a special form, link form iirc, they didn't show that here, yeah.
Also there was some sort of enemy lock-on system going on in last year's trailer, they still have the blue teleport lock but the gold lock on enemies is gone.
Because they looked like butt. The improvements made to the game are massive.

Loving the party assists. Super flashy and fun. Hope it's not automated; having manual button inputs in conjunction with proximity would be great.

Amazing, but since its a Tech Demo I'm not sure if I can expect that same quality. The build scale is amazing though. And that pretty much confirms not only day and night cycle but also weather effects.
I have both PS4 and Xbox One, and am very interested to know how both this platforms will handle it.

I hope that Xbox One can handle it pretty close to PS4, thats my favorite platform.
