...should have used this engine to Remake FFVII ....FFVII Rs visuals are at least bad using the lame U4 engine ...with environments to be PS3-ps2 level........while FFXV that used this engine had an unbelivable beautiful world and also was far bigger than the urbanized only areas of FF 7R

RaidenBlack1364d ago

Division 1 devs handled the FF7 Remake.
Division 2 devs handled the FFXV.

".FFVII Rs visuals are at least bad using the lame U4 engine"

I thought the FF7 Remake looked really impressive. also While this demo is as impressive many of it's features could also be found in UE4 going as far back to 2017 and 18. UE4 also has an extensive world editor, coupled with Quixel Megascans. i think this next gen gamers should be able to see UE4 and 5's more advanced features. through the new hardware upgrades.

never understood why would you need a new account until an unless the account is banned?

Razmiran1364d ago

So you can agree with yourself and somehow feel better

UnSelf1364d ago

They can use this for Remake pt 2 exclusively on PS5

GOULDYBOBS1364d ago

Who needs plugs when your fanboys are this smug

LegoIsAwesome1364d ago

Haven't you read the latest statement of Sony? They forgot the meaning of "exclusive". All those "exclusive" they're boasting is just Timed Exclusive for PS4/5 and will come to PC. Exclusives is dead, except for Nintendo.

I thought Sony is different from MS. I guessed wrong.

Square's repeated issues is trying to use scratch built game engines still being developed for new projects. Forcing their devs to work with those unfamiliar engines.

Rainbowcookie1363d ago

Agreed and then it takes so long to finish a game that feels it could have been better. I want a truly innovative FF .

Oh my goodness that is beautiful, i hope this engine is used for FFXVI and FFVII remake part 2.

DARK WITNESS1364d ago

Wow, nice, awesome, fantastic great engine......... now go make some actual decent games using it!

anonymousfan1364d ago

I know this is about FF but damn being all vegetation like that... I cant help but feel like I want a new Elder Scrolls game and explore for hours on end.

lonewolfjedi1364d ago

they should've used this in halo infinite lol

Noskypeno1364d ago

What was shown in 2018 and 2019 looked good and was in engine, not sure why the drastic downgrade but it goes to show tech demos dont mean anything until its shown off in gameplay. Now hopefully with the delay they can upgrade it to what it was, given how COD Cold War went from looking last gen 2 months ago when it got leaked to looking full blown next gen just now

That's great news. Hopefully the Coalition can smooth some of those edges from the last Avowed reveal.

phoenixwing9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you. I was ok with it and hoping to actually play it sometime soon. Now it's like 99% chance it's delayed.
Edit: effing graphics whores

"Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you."

What the hell are you talking about dude? Avowed was already in development using the UE5. The Coalition is just helping Obsidian in the transition to its latest version (5.3)

Fishy Fingers30m ago

It already was Unreal 5, its just moving to the latest build.

Lightning778h ago

Apparently the latest build looks way better graphically. This rumor from Jez Cordin (who's credible) pretty much confirms it.

Interested in seeing more on Avowed in a few weeks.

Steam Account Transfer Via Will on Death is Not Permitted, Valve Confirms

In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.

anast18h ago

The games are theirs. People just pay to ride the ride.

Skuletor1h ago

Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway

Kornholic1h ago

This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.

So where is the outcry?

Skuletor1h ago

It's not like PlayStation is doing any different.

NotoriousWhiz55m ago(Edited 54m ago)

It's not like your account just stops working when you die. Include your email, account id, and password in the will (including the password to your email) and your survivors should have no problem using your games.

thorstein27m ago

So just give your progeny the passwords.

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Terry_B15h ago

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

just_looken1h ago

They were different because they went from being a port studio with there last port being the god awful saints row 2 pc port to making the witcher one.

The first witcher was there first actual game with there own engine the 3rd one showed there years of experience/in house engine improvements.

This witcher game has very very few of the original people behind it and its using unreal engine like so many other games.

The big elephant in the room is that they are now proudly esg supports and go to a panel of esg reps to approve there games now.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The is cdpr 2020's not the 2010's cdpr we used to know.

https://www.gamesradar.com/...

Take the blood/sex/nudity/adult humor/combat system/rpg mechanics/writing/story charecters/art/design and there passion/drive from the first 3 games throw it in the fucking trash there now you got what they have right now for the witcher 4.

New engine new writing team new everything even esg leadership so yeah "Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3"

Sonic18812m ago(Edited 2m ago)

This doesn't sound good without the original team

Kaii15h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

bRuud833h ago

Combat was never the strongest part of the series.

just_looken1h ago

True but anyone that thinks witcher 3 2.0 combat is bad would never get past the first section of witcher one.

Profchaos3h ago

I felt 3 was ok took a long for it to click but I tried 2 and I found combat controls to be my biggest barrier to actually enjoying it was about 50 times clunkier than 3

thorstein1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I thought the weakest point was the copious amount of dialog. Sometimes less is more. I remember clicking through just to get to the objective.

outsider16241h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Compared to W1, W3 feels like a masterpiece in combat..lol.

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

Hugodastrevas4h ago

This can either go very well or very badly. I hope the latter.

That is on your mobile device they copied pokemon go few years back
