Final Fantasy XV TGS 2014 Trailer | Lord Nomura giveth us His only Son so we may live

Yeah I think I remember that too.

Off the top of my head, 2015 is something like this:

The Witcher 3
Bloodborne
Evolve
The Order: 1886
Batman Arkham Knight
No Man's Sky
Persona 5
Metal Gear Solid V
FFXV (pending)
Uncharted 4 (not confirmed)

I'm sure I'm missing something else, but that list alone is pretty insane.



Smart man.

I hope your future wife doesn't browse through Gaf. 0_0

Dont forget Star fox and Zelda u
 
One thing that I liked watching this video again, is how wide the areas seems to be! Its like they heard FFXIII critics and this time re delivering an big open-world experience! Look at those amazing horizons!! If all of that is explorable then thats gonna be amazing!

On the other hand will be disappointing if we can't reach those areas because of some invisible wall or unreachable stones.

Here is what I'm saying:

The Witcher 3 - Feb
Bloodborne - Feb
Evolve - ??
The Order: 1886 - Jan?
Batman Arkham Knight - ??
No Man's Sky - ??
Persona 5 - Spring/Summer??
Metal Gear Solid V - Spring/Summer/Fall??
Uncharted 4 - Holiday??
Tomb Raider - Holiday??
The Division - ??

A lot of big games, but there might be a window of opportunity to release it in fall perhaps (September/October). If they are confident in the title (they should be) then perhaps the holiday window in November.

Also curious to see who they partner up with for exclusive advertising.

PS4 is in a better position with the biggest install base, but Microsoft may be willing to push the marketing further with dat money hat.

Batman got pushed to june 02
 
Im guessing you watch the naruto anime and not caught up with the manga, because you cant think sasuke is good after this current arc. Good manga (naruto WAS good) can have terrible main characters. Popular=/=Iconic. Goku is iconic, Kenshiro is iconic, Luffy is iconic, Yusuke is iconic, Naruto is iconic. Outside of Vegeta none of their sidekicks are iconic

dont know man krillin is pretty iconic, who doesnt love Zoro, Rei and toki from HnK are 2 of the best characters there

sasukes whole arc was pretty on par with his character, but yeah the most recent chapter kinda left me going wtf is sasuke doing
 
Batman got pushed to june

I didn't forget Zelda U, it's just that I really doubt it will release in 2015 unless they want to rush it out.

Has there been any footage whatsoever of Star Fox, I heard it was just a rumor at the moment?

Cheers

Evolve is Febuaray 10th, 2015.
 
ehh i don't think zelda is going to release in 2015.. if does i would have to say 2015 might the greatest year ever in gaming.

i think it does.

Nintendo are smart at having a big title for each holiday year

this year it's Smash and next year it will probably be Zelda

they've obviously got some hopes for Xenoblade but they also know the limitations of the title so it won't be that
 
Yes, the characters are attractive. I'm not gonna sit here and deny that. They're cool dudes.

No idea if they will be "cool" either, since that is usually something derived from actions/personality. Although I have no doubt that angle will at least be attempted to played up for the main character (the teleport to and summon sword mechanics seems designed for that wow/cool effect). I mean Auron was a really cool guy/character, but again no idea if that is even remotely linked to being considered attractive or if being attractive applies as an accurate descriptor for that character.

They could just as easily end up "dorky" like Waka, Laguna, or Zell, or somewhat lame in the end.

Kind of off topic but I kind wonder how far in development is the true ff15/ ff16.

I'm sure they have plenty of design docs, concepts art, and pre-prod stuff done. Probably for tons of games that never ended up to fruition.

But they haulted a lot developement for ARR, VersusXIII often went without development as teams were moved to other projects. So anything related to future titles is mostly engine technology for the company, not the games themselves.
 
ehh i don't think zelda is going to release in 2015.. if does i would have to say 2015 might the greatest year ever in gaming.

I think is, it been in development longer than any other zelda beside ss , which is different, so there is a high chance it is coming out next year. Also they need a big fall game so unless star fox or something else is ready zelda will take that spot.

There is footage of it, it super early but miyamoto said that it should be ready for next year.

Rime
Tomorrow Children
Deep Down (at least in Japan)
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
Tales of Zestiria (PS3)

2015 is going to be a very expensive year (going to make the wait for FFXV a lot more bearable).

2015's gonna be RIDICULOUS for me as a Zelda, MGS and FF fan (if FFXV comes out next year, though it'll probably be Spring '16). Jesus, I have to start saving up for a PS4 and a Wii U now :D

Kind of off topic but I kind wonder how far in development is the true ff15/ ff16.

According to Verendus it's past concept phase. Also design-wise it's the opposite of FFXIII apparently.

true, it's just that we didnt even get a teaser or anything, but it's smart on nintendo's part E3 2015 trailer to raise awareness that the game is releasing a few months later. it's the same strategy SE used for type-0 the game got announced at pax during august i believe and its releasing in march 2015..SE did something smart for once.

Edit: my theory on way FFXV didnt get a release window is because they want to use the type-0 strategy..e3 2015 trailer japan gets the game in dec 2015 and everyone else march 2016. to be honest i was expecting type-0 fall 2015 title lol

I definitely think Sasuke is an iconic character, right there next to Vegeta.

I also don't know what watching the anime and reading the manga would have to do with having such an opinion.

evolve Feb 10
the order feb 20

Seems like there's a definite window for release then between June and November

Destiny, Watch Dogs and TLOU of us all show a game will sell a fuck ton if the masses find it looks appealing and with heavy marketing.even if it's not released in October or November.

isn't there a rumor that nintendo is doing a remaster?excuse my ignorance on nintendo matters since i have no idea lol i was expecting it to be star fox 64 or is nintendo working on new entry of star fox?
 
Hey guys,

I made some comparison shots ( not very well put together) just to see if the graphics changed a bit,maybe someone with better knowledge of computer graphics , e.i, lightning,textures,and all that can tell if the game is looks better now.

Watching the AI just stand there is really hilarious.

They really really need to work on the enemy attacks. Noctis can evade and teleport while the enemies have... 14th century forward thrusts.

In that section of the video he evades two attacks. When he evades the first one there's a distinctive sound.

Maybe you get something for timing your evades just right?

I think that's just Noctis making a hissy noise when he evaded. :p He also made a grunt in the second dodge.

They didn't want to over shadow hyrule warrior. You can imagine if they showed more we wouldnt be talking about it. I could see a new trailer at a future Nintendo direct or Gdc.

At e3 Minamoto said that they were making a new star fox game and should be ready in one year. There are screen shots and video of it.
 
what's the general consensus on Nomura's exit.. do you guys think the original vision of the game got compromised once Tabata stepped in or are you guys fairly optimistic?

Obviously way better. Just a few days ago I posted my concerns about the E3 trailer's models looking like PS3 remnants and I actually doubted they would change it as much as they did now. I'm very happy about the technical improvements.

Well you never/rarely see Kuririn, Zoro, Rei and Toki in any promotional material or cross promotional material. They are good characters but definitely not the first thing they think of when they think of their respective mangas. That last Naruto arc let alone chapter............. ;__;
 
If they've finally managed to get the Luminous engine working and they can just drag in the CG models for game use, then I don't see SquareEnix even needing a brand new engine for next gen. Just expand on Luminous. Hopefully it's all smooth sailing from here on out.

I'm still astounded this is not CG.

Somehow I still can't believe this :D That's Uncharted 4-tier.
 
Square are technical masterminds. I have no idea how they did what they did with Crystal Tools, but I just hope that Luminous is actually good.

Confirmed not to be CG?
That's weird because it looks CG and it's clearly a good step above the rest and the other characters.
 
Kind of off topic but I kind wonder how far in development is the true ff15/ ff16.

It's been widely suggested by fans that Hiroyuki Ito will be the director of Final Fantasy XVI, and that he's been working on it for a number of years, but of course it's speculation. Over the years, other people working at Square Enix have commented that Ito is working on projects, being purposely vague.

I think it's real time. Look at the hair on the right side of her face when she clutches her necklace. It has the same flat angular look that you see with a lot of character hair in games.

Eh... did she get a chest upgrade?
 
I definitely think Sasuke is an iconic character, right there next to Vegeta.

I also don't know what watching the anime and reading the manga would have to do with having such an opinion.

Because the anime is behind the manga and if you read the latest chapter and still like Sasuke you obviously arent someone who cares about plot or character development, it just was terrible

Whoa...the guy who did FFIX???? Screw FFXV, FFXVI will be the bomb yo!!

That's not Stella. Noticed the necklace and there's no mole on her left chin.

But it's still much better than how the other characters look, just looking at the hair, the male characters all have layered textured polys used as hair, the girl seems to have individually rendered hair, which of course is a huge step up. Also the skin, the details in the hand (nerves and veins) and the detail in the dress seems to be just on an other level.
Maybe it'a pre-rendered cutscene using the engine.
The trailer contains a few small CG sequences anyway.

SE typically has a couple different in-engine models they use: one for gameplay and one for more detailed cutscenes.
