Final Fantasy 7 Remake Comparison: 2015 vs. 2020

IGN: "The Final Fantasy 7 Remake has had a pretty long development cycle, first being revealed way back in 2015. So we thought we'd take a look at how the game has evolved from its 2015 PlayStation Experience trailer to what is finally playable here in 2020. What do you think: has it changed for the better or do prefer its older, more gritty art style?"

2020 looks clearly better!

Damn they did a reverse UBIsoft lol upgraded instead of downgraded.

Great comparison video from IGN.
I think people don't give them enough credit for the amazing job they've done since the reveal.

When the news came up that Square was taking all the work in-house, consequently taking it away from their 3rd Party contractor to 'ensure better quality', it sounded like development mess and poor management on their behalf.

Now seeing these direct comparisons, it's clear to see where the time/dedication has gone into. Whether that's better lighting, skin textures, hair, geomatry, but most of all the art direction is miles better. One of the complaints people had of the original reveal, was that the Midgar look too 'real life like' without distinct steam punk direction.

I am not a fan of how IGN edits their graphics comparison videos.

But it's great to see that the years they have spent on this made a HUGE difference visually. Most games these days look almost identical to their initial reveal visuals when they are labeled as "pre-alpha" lol

olorin8181901d ago

they're definiately not on par with; say Digital Foundary, that's for sure.
But the differences are visible all the same. It will be interesting to see how they carry over the same visual fidelity into some more dull environments (train tunnels, vents etc).

Square have been known to do great rendering and CGI for their games. Im not at all surprised that 2020 is far superior than 2015. But again technology is a lot better today than 5 years ago.

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list is a crime.

CUnit12312374d ago

Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!

RavenWolfx73d ago

Chrono Trigger at 31 makes my heart hurt.

Zeldafan6473d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list at all is a crime.

The effort here is impressive. Hope it doesn’t get taken down.

fr0sty284d ago

He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.

solideagle284d ago

ah Dreams had so much potential, I think they should have released it on PC. one can only dream about dreams sale and popularity on PC. PC has modding/creative crowd and I think it would have been a hit

gleepot284d ago

I love seeing projects like this. So much passion and time.
