Square Enix has filed a new trademark for Final Fantasy 7 Dirge of Cerberus. Is the company looking to bring the game back?
Arrowhead Game Studios chief Johan Pilestedt revealed that Sony PlayStation doubled the development budget of Helldivers 2.
Proof of concept for a promising new technology.
I did note that the Xbox frame-gen implementation is not perfect. There appear to be intermediate freezing issues when there's a camera cut during cinematics, but while a bit annoying, it does not intrude on gameplay (a quick look at PS5 doesn't see this issue manifest)
Xbox Can’t catch a break recently
"I did note that the Xbox frame-gen implementation is not perfect."
Grasping at straws I see.
In the video John literally says that FSR 3´s implementation on Xbox Series X is far better than the PC version on release, and they are very impressed with the results. Especially considering that they didn´t even expect such performance to be possible achieved from 30fps. Not even AMD itself recommends 30fps for frame generation.
And... perfect? It´s not perfect even on PC to this day, so I´m no sure what you mean by that.
Maybe it´s perfect on PS5, I don´t know. It would be nice if you post the source of the analysis video of the PS5 version you saw to back up your claims.
"Xbox Can’t catch a break recently"
Don´t worry about the Xbox. There´ll be PLENTY of upcoming first party games to take advantage of FSR 3 in the coming months and years.
Indiana Jones, Avowed, Fable, Shattered Space (Starfield), Gears of War 6, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3 and many many more.
Also, I´m expecting a FSR 3 update for Hellblade II rather sooner than later.
Great times ahead.
"It would be nice if you post the source of the analysis video of the PS5 version you saw to back up your claims.'
no I just quoted from the very article we are commenting on, these were digital foundry's words, saying xbox isn't perfect, but on the ps5 version, it doesn't see the issue manifest.
Console warring over a framerate pause during non-interactive content in a first-of-its-kind implementation in a game no one gave a crap about when it released 9-10 months ago.
Gotta love N4G.
I watched the DF video and they hadn't even tested the PS5 version yet. They tested the Xbox version is it was available first.
Maybe theres a different video..
@Tocoboto
You see that top comment? “Game changer finally!”
That is an attempt to pretend that this is Xbox only and that it’s a new thing.
So I just hope you are aware of that when you put the blame on purple101.
Its promising tech and what's even more funny is that it was DF that was saying it wouldn't work. If fact they were pretty emphatic about it. What's stupid about their claims is that consoles are just specialized PCs. Now imagine if they combine this with a different upscaler like TSR or the upcoming PSSR.
DF act like they know as much as the engineers that work on this software but they are not even close to as knowledgeable they only have tools that give them numbers and then they act like they are experts.
I'd think there's a chance PSSR and frame-gen could yield better upgrade performance for PS5 Pro than PS4 Pro did if this is how well it's going to be working on consoles. I'm curious about input latency though.
Sony removed an interview with Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann, stating that it didn't "represent his perspectives and values."
Welp at least they corrected the record but honestly why wouldn't they just use his words instead of paraphrasing for PR reasons? Glad to see Neil stand up for himself and get the truth out.
This is pretty ludicrous to be honest! How did Sony get an interview with their own guy so wrong. If you read the transcript Neil put on Twitter compared to what was quoted about Naughty Dog's next game, it's laughable how badly he was represented. What he said was fine.
Glad he got the chance to clarify.
No one is mad about the statement you're referencing.
The development community is concerned with the opinions he shared on AI.
please read the article. It says that the released version was paraphrasing what he had said:
“Druckmann later went to social media to clarify that the interview did not accurately report the actual words he said, even providing his own direct transcript to show that it did not match up.”
What do we need to be concerned with exactly? He posted the entire direct transcript.
Depends how it's used? AI has already been used in many businesses with success. If it's used to simulate voice actors without their consent, that's obviously bad. If it's used to streamline and automate certain functions or generic items during development, like data logs or background story information, maybe there's usefulness there.
AI is a hot topic and everyone is going to weigh in on it, but it is inevitable and it's up to us to speak out against misuse of it. Let the developers be excited about the possibilities, it's not like it's EA or some exec in a suit speaking on this topic, or Neil commenting on monetisation possibilities. He's a gaming guy, so maybe there's value there that he sees.
@S2Killinit
Jesus man, how about you read what Neil actually said on Twitter
FROM THE MAN HIMSELF
https://x.com/Neil_Druckman...
Nothing was mentioned about his AI comments, that's all 100% true, he literally makes a point of what part of the interview was misleading by screenshotting the exact part taken out of context. The part where he mentions "redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming".
The Development Community is actually pro-AI as it will help reduce their workload. It's uninformed gamer community people who don't understand how they will utilize AI in development that are concerned.
Christopher,
I don't disagree the development community is open to AI's inclusion, but as we know, there are also concerns. The labour is often at odds with the execs and I sincerely don't trust them to do right by their employees.
As a precondition for utilizing AI, I think pushing for unionization at developers using AI to support development is a bare minimum requisite.
The devs and execs want efficiency, but it's not really in the same way.
More like he got a lot of criticism, and it isn't the first time he's stirred up controversy so they want a do over.
Lol dude, what he said was nothing close to controversial. The link to what he actually said is in the article. He never said Naughty Dog's next game would redefine mainstream gaming.
So he did say hand animation is dated and AI is the future, just that their next game won't redefine gaming.
But his shitty AI comments still stand
Talking about using it for creative things like writing, dialogue, stories then pulling the same old "there's still ethical issues to address" which is what all AI lovers love to say at the end of bigging up AI so they don't get as much flack.
People keep thinking that the interview being pulled means everything he said was misquoted when the worst thing he actually did say during it wasn't misquoted at all.
It's not his fault people have nothing better to do then twist his words or whatever he's doing into something "controversial" so they have an excsue to complain.
Not his fault, but if you're gonna express your opinions publicly then you should prepare for people to express their opinions on your opinions. His comment about hand animation rubbed people the wrong way, and we've yet to see how AI will help or ruin games so people have very strong opinions on it. His concern was that he didn't say their next game will redefine gaming, which let's be honest, ND normally pushes a few boundaries when they release a game so it's weird that that's the only thing he wanted to correct lol.
Never said I had an issue with opinions on opinions but calling an opinion or comment "controversial" is something else entirely. People can get angry about AI assisted development all they want but its gonna happen, just like everything else the gaming community complains about and ends up happening anyway, Like it or not AI pretty much has to happen in the development space to keep costs down or there potentially wont be any AAA games in the future to complain about.
He could have said anything and there are gamers that would triggered by it. Console warriors and cry babies who have never gotten over their videogame daddy dying in tlou2. Lol.
Lol, most of those are just mad that there were gay girls in the game while manly father figure died. It was too much for them 😆
I really hope with the FFVII Remake we don't just get FFVII related stuff for the next 3-5 years or so.
Hope they remake it, would love to play with good controls
Why? The game was trash unless we are talking about a remaster if that’s a case make it a double pack with Crisis Core.
Maybe Square and Gackt are on good terms again. If that's the case then we could get a true Crisis Core remaster and more.
SE will milk this masterpiece to death.
