Crytek speak about the benefits that CryEngine and DirectX 12 together yield.
Nintendo has announced a new Indie World showcase for tomorrow, and it'll feature around 20 minutes of info about upcoming Switch indies.
Still waiting on a proper direct. I can't think of anything coming out this year for switch.
IGN: "We talk to Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim about the ways that Stellar Blade is inspired by NieR: Automata, comparisons between EVE and 2B, and much more."
It's fairly common knowledge that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth enjoyed a relatively smooth development cycle, owing to the fact that Final Fantasy 7 Remake's team was largely kept intact, and the first game had obviously laid the foundations in terms of visuals and gameplay systems. It took Square Enix around three years to craft Rebirth, and it expects the same kind of timeline when it comes to the third (and final) title in the trilogy.
Might be an unpopular opinion here, but I wish the remake was a 2-parter not a 3-parter.
Die-hard fans will disagree and I get it but ... I think they're stretching the project abit too much imho.
considering how much story is in the original, i think it's fine. Everything is very well elaborated and the connection to those characters are much greater thanks to it. Like, i like seeing tifa and aerith as best friends for example. the fact the first 2 games in this trilogy basically only covered the first disc of the original is kinda crazy tho lol
@lucian That first disc was a whopper though. I don't remember the second being as long, and the third is basically just the final dungeon.
I'm glad they did 3 games. The first 2 have been absolutely phenomenal. Looking forward to the Weapons (the real ones) waking up and attacking, the underwater exploration (they set that up pretty good with the lore of Under Junon), and finally Cloud's big reveal. It'll be real interesting to see how they handle the repercussions of Cloud's behavior from Rebirth and what he's going to do in Part 3. Like the party should realistically just abandon him for being such an a-hole, and after what he did to a Tifa. They really played up the whole Sephiroth mind control thing in Rebirth. They really need to nail the emotional payoff to that. Hope it's not just swept under the rug by the party and just move on post Lifestream.
Also 3 games and then a Crisis core remaster
Then god knows what else
It’s overkill
I’d under the trilogy if they lived up to their excuse about it being about expanding the lore. Like they said the first game would heavily expand the lore of Midgar through side missions but the side missions didn’t do that at all, they were all pretty generic. Felt like a bad excuse to justify 3 games.
Least we have a potential date
Although now I’m just thinking
“Damn 3-4 years to see if we’ll ever get a FFVIII remake next”
Apparently there is a IX remake getting made. You need that to come out and be successful before a VIII remake is even possibly green lit.
But if you're thinking the FF7REMAKE team is making a FFVIII remake after part 3...that is not happening. They are definitely making a new FF after.
Well apparently IX is coming first because the VIII team are working on the VII remakes
So if they get finished then hopefully they will work on VIII next
You say it won’t but I’m hoping they will…just something less ambitious
Yikes.... Sales are already lower than expected for the sequel. Third game is gonna be lower....
I really think it should've been just one game or two at most, kept to the simple turn based combat, and no crazy changes to the story. But it's whatever. I liked rebirth but man was it bloated with so much unnecessary and repetitive stuff. Square is really betting their money on the remakes. I do admit the remakes have been the only mainline ff games Ive actually quite liked since probably 10 lol.
I don’t feel like it’s bloated, it’s more or less all the same content that was in the original for mini games but they expanded everyone’s narrative better.
I am glad they expanded even on the characters that came in later games that wasn’t in the original. It’s a weird position we keep putting devs in when one moment we say give us a complete game with tons of content. They deliver said content and then we treat it like it’s overwhelming or to much.
Crazy part is you could just focus on the story and do none of the “bloat”. Gamers really seem to never be happy when you look online forums
Wouldn’t make sense financially. 1 game would involve a mammoth amount of development time and a gamble to say the least. Making one part of the game and seeing if it makes $$$ gives reason to justify making a part 2 and 3 and make more money too.
That's pretty crazy if you think about the 2005 PS3 tech demo that started this all! I'm not sure if they ever intended to remake the game at that time, but the fan outcry for it was so incredible that it eventually became a reality! Now imagine all of the fans who have died waiting for this. :\
Which game is 240?
You must've bought from a bad scalper because I got both games for normal price each
I mean not too surprised, they already have most of all the assets already made. I just hope it's UE5 and they crank it to 11 and finish strong. I also hope they go back and upgrade Remake and Rebirth to UE5 too. BUY THE DAMN GAME PEOPLE!!
For all the complaints about GAAS and same thing getting released every year. It’s almost dumb that gamers here don’t support a game like Rebirth.
DX 12 this, DX 12 that, for christ's sake write something other than click bait articles. Or do you not have the capacity to do that?
Why is Dx12 and xbox one even still being mentioned in the same sentence? People have been hoping for something, anything, to improve xbox one's sagging performance when compared to ps4, but the simple fact is the hardware is what it is. The only way to make big improvements to a focused hardware like gaming consoles is to introduce hardware solutions, hence One S, Scorpio and Neo.
Can also ask Crytek if they finally going to patch Rise ... that Xbox one game to make it run at lock 30fps atleast!?I have the feeling the magnitude of Dx 12 is not so big...Ya. Crytek and the Bs talk once more.
So Crytek just said patching to DX12 sucks and that they needed to retool theirs specifically to get the efficiency out of the DX12 API. How many devs need to say this before people realize patching games like Battlefront doesn't utilize the API very well?
