The Versus hype will consume us all.

If it's PS4 only I'm thinking that most if not all the cutscenes will be in-engine. Mainly because they've stated that the team wants to embrace this design philosophy in upcoming games due to improvements in technology, and also because they have already scrapped a great deal of CG already due to character revisions.
Although being a big fan of HD CG I hope I'm wrong on this.
I have to disagree. SE's Visual Works studio is one of the best there is.

Mhmm, I agree, I think this is the direction they might be taking it (even further) which is a good thing.
He looks barely human in the top one!

Please be excited!
Last year Nomura said the game is about 7:3 ratio of real time to CG.

Can you be more specific? Change in art style? Completely different characters? Improved graphics?

My heartbeat will be pounding in my ears and I will be shaking like a lunatic.

But it's so pretty... I always love watching the endings of Final Fantasy games because the CG sequences are pretty breathtaking.
All I need regarding Versus is some form of acknowledgement along with a date and anything else is icing on the cake. Since that 2011 trailer, I swear all we've gotten are "We're working on it, okay?!" but recently they've said things like "Please be excited" or "The date for the reveal is set" so it feels like it's coming for sure.
It's likely got more to do with how the game plays or something. What we saw in 2011 looked pretty rough and all the menus looked pasted on.

I agree, but at the same time I don't want too many of those especially if they are all style no substance like FFXIII's were.
I want some Oscar worthy stuff if they are going to show CGI.

Really? I missed that, but it sounds awesome. Their CG studio is legendary, I have about 10 save files for XIII just to re-watch those glorious cutscenes.

I just realized now it's exactly 10 days.
... and now my hype just jumped.

I don't think that Luminous demo was running on PS4. They just showed the GTX 680 demo again and that was it. They didn't release any specifics regarding the PS4 version either which is strange.
And more recently we got news that Square Enix Japan will make cutbacks to the engine team and focus more on smartphones etc.
All very disappointing revelations.
True, but I'd rather they use that space for added interactive content.
It didn't help that XIII's cast looked like a bunch of porcelain dolls.

LR is at their booth and on their own live stream stuff (and playable on the show floor) - it won't be at any conferences.
Aren't PS4 discs 50GB in capacity? They could do a lot with that.
Really? That's good news then. I thought Hashimoto would come out and try to implement some foreplay with FFX HD and Lightning Returns before going in with Versus.
that's a lot of on disc DLC keys they could be selling
LR won't get any conference time outside of montage videos or something.
I honestly hope that they have changed that to a 9:1 ratio in favor of real time graphics.

He'd probably mention it but doubt they'd show a trailer.

this is good news. I don't know how I'll react when I see FFXV

No. Cherish this style of approach to cinematic presentation in games while it still exists!
Maybe towards the end of the generation. You know the drill with games reaching tech demo parity.
Yeah I usually don't care that much for CG as good looking prerendered scenes are easy to do while good in-game graphics are harder and it's generally more impressive to play a good-looking game than stare at good-looking cutscenes, but the new CG scenes were really impressive despite that.
Maybe because of how realistic/modern it is? I don't care for FF XIV's CG in comparison.

they have such an impressive CG team that I don't even give a fuck. Going to be some awesome ass sequences.

God I love that guards uniform.
It's badass.
It's badass.
I really hope you're legit
The CG here is just ridonculous.
That's right, let's raise the expectations. Agni's Philosophy at 1080p/60fps on launch day!

One of the major pros of Luminous engine is, how easily the tech team can convert CG to real time without compromising the quality.
That's what they did with Agni, visual works created the CG, then it was made real time using luminous engine.

Does Verendus know things?
For a title that is likely coming within the first year of the PS4's life cycle, that probably isn't a realistic expectation.
As far as we know now, not really no.

If he doesn't he'll be going bye bye soon.

he probably does, otherwise the admins would banned him along with Zeal (the halo guy) lol

Well I would hope Kagari wouldn't allow that kind of stuff without some info on if he's legit or not.
Yup. That's it. It's almost ominous in a manner.
Edit: Yeah. Verendus was wrong about GG. I don't think he ever explained why.
The Nintendo rumor dude hasn't been banned yet, he's obviously bullshit.
Zeal was just hella transparent.
