Yeah haha, but there are other reasons to be excited. If they stay with their plans, it will be fully open world, you can travel with cars, ride an airship, the music is made by Yoko Shimomura(her music is amazing), it's not Toriyama directing it (this is the guy who made FF13 which was not well recieved) etc

It looked good then, but if it gets re revealed as a PS4 game, then it's gonna look epic. People are excited for that possibility and also the fact that it will FINALLY be released haha. E3 is where it all finally happens.

I'm curious about the ROI for the game as I said in my other post though, like 7 years is a LONG time. Surely they'd need to move at least 5 million just for break even? Pretty ambitious sounding game.

Well, iirc, they didn't start fully on development until a few years after that initial reveal, and then they got sidetracked after XIV flopped.

Supposedly, the game only went into full development in 2010 or so. Before then it was a lot of preproduction work. Probably not as expensive as we think it is, but also not super cheap either.

What the hell does that even mean?

Sony is winning the marketing battle too, for sure.

The memory partition of the PS4 seems to align with that of the One : 5 GB for gaming and 3 for OS related tasks...
A couple of tweets by Jonathan Blow strongly suggest that. Let's hope they free up some more of those resources in the near futur.

damn that looks awesome. somehow i had basically ignored everything about the game thinking it was "more of the same" from FF XIII

Nah different director and different team.

This might become a PS4 game and look even better @ E3, get hyped!

 

[DBT85]

Real or fake?

It's not "verified" yet.

Yoshida isn't verified either. Or Scott Rhode.

i've asked both if this is the real Cerny, but I doubt it.

I've been arguing that this would be the case, and why it makes complete sense, for over a month now.

I'm sure that Cerny said somewhere that the full 8GB were available for developers. When OS programs are used, then some RAM is used for that, but aside from that, all for developers.

Didn't the GG Killzone video documentation mention that it was 1GB for the OS and 7GB for the game.

 

[wizzbang]

I don't think the 3gb thing is the end of the world :/ I mean they did a hellllllllll of a lot with 512mb on the last 2 consoles. 5gb is heaps and 3gb for the OS means both of them can do some pretty cool stuff in the background.

The PS4 for a start needs to 'live encode' what you're doing into a video stream for the whole sharing thing, that's GOT to chew some major resources surely?

Yeah they've had to take a lot of breaks. It's not really in development hell, I fully trust the team making it. They have simply been distracted, just bad management from Square Enix really.

But yes you really have to wonder what the ROI is, if they sell really well then it might be OK, who knows. I think just releasing it will help the future of final Fantasy, FFXIII has left a bad taste in some fans.

Something is seriously fucked with Sony's OS if 3GB of GDDR5 ram need to be reserved. Really fucked.

 

[zerodayPopbot]

Hopefully Sony can reduce the OS footprint in time.

There's no way it's the same amount as the One's.

Wasn't aware of that. Don't know how to access the whole thing, as I just found those remarks on B3D...

NOPE! He says "we won't quite fit on the PS4". He's definitely talking about Sony's plateform.

Unofficially I've heard 1gb reserved for the PS4. As have several insiders from devs etc. 3gb for the XO.

Excellent work once again. Can't remember who suggested that one now.


As for the RAM issue, I'd be stunned if they allocated 3GB of GDDR5 to the OS.

That's the kind of Final Fantasy S-E should be releasing, and hopefully they realized that and show us more of Versus tomorrow.

I'm excited S-E. Don't let me down.

I'm sure that Cerny said somewhere that the full 8GB were available for developers. When OS programs are used, then some RAM is used for that, but aside from that, all for developers.

The OS would always be running, though. It'll always be capturing your gameplay and keeping you connected to your friends list and whatnot.

I remember Cerny saying that they were using 8GB GDDR5 and that it would be a no-limits type solution for developers, but I don't remember him saying that developers would actually get to use 8 GB of memory.
