FF7 PS3 techdemo: w00t!!!!

Crap game, video was way too dark (I suck with computers though).

Anywhere it's downloadable so I can actually see what's going on?
 
Are there pics of this demo anywhere? Stuck on dialup and can't download any movies. And shit, I wish SE would just do a remake of VII to satisfy all the rabid fanboys out there so we could stop hearing about it.

Thanks jiggle. That is quite nice. I'm not a huge fan of VII, but if SE did a remake with graphics like that, I'd play it. That's supposed to be real-time?
 
SE needs to stop cockteasing us and just go ahead and announced the damn thing... you don't keep revisiting 7 this much if you don't realize how popular it is and how popular a remake would f'n kill.
 
It looked really really nice but I'd rather Square use their resources on something new rather than something I played 8 years ago on the PS1. I mean sequels are bad, but remakes of games are even worse on the innovation scale.
 
Very awesome demo. I love how Aeris' dress animates and moves. It's pretty cool to see something in real time (I'm assuming) surpass the original fmv. Good stuff! Next generation can't come soon enough!

Agreed. The movement of her dress is awesome.
 
Whats so great about that video?

It seemed like the video hitched a few times too. It also seemed to be prerendered and not realtime.

Looks more like a movie to me. I am not very trustworthy of Sony these days. Especially since I feel they were pretty deceptive when they unveiled the PS2.

Even though everything they showed then has been topped?
 
i think this vid could be realtime.. the graphics werent THAT mindblowing.. the area instancing was cool.. zooming in and out, but who knows if thats for real

the 360 demo seemed to have more geometry, but havent seen a high res version of it yet.

I don't get it... PS2 could render that FFVIII ballroom scene, supposedly.
They've gone backwards? :D

Err, no.

I'm not sure how serious you were, but the dance scene shown on PS2 was nowhere near as complex as the original CG. It was just two characters (as opposed to the entire ballroom full of people) and it lacked a lot of detail even still.

This new demo shows off the intro of FF7 done in the style of Advent Children. It's a whole lot more detailed than the old FF7 CG...

No they weren't. Every tech demo on the PS2 has been topped. You should go watch those demos again. They aren't nearly as impressive as you might remember.
 
Golem, The video says PS3 tech demo. Why would they it be CG if its a tech demo.

Blew me away. The fact that they had Aeris + CLoud and thye looked about the same as the CG movie version.

:fap fap

Wasn't there a tech demo where they "supposedly" did an FMV scene from a FF game in real time?

And topped when? Near the end of its lifespan? The PS2 was underwhelming for the most part IMO. I don't mind if others love it, I just don't share their opinion on the matter.

What, exactly, in your opinion topped it anyway?

Techdemos are BS IMO. From all vendors, not just Sony. MS pulled the same shit as well with the Xbox.

They did the ballroom sequence from FF8. PS2 pulled it off but the sequence was independent of control + AI which (both MS + SONY is guilty of) makes the assessment on how actual PS3 + X360 titles will really look a bit hard. F Just look @ Tiger Woods + NBA26k. :)

FX-2' yuna/paine/riku highrez models are quite well done though. I can't recall how comparable they are but they're very good considering its using the FFX engine.

Whoa whoa whoa, that pretty much shows that you are running on memory. That pic that SSX displayed is from that same demo and it was matched right away by The Bouncer (poor game, but great tech demo). The Bouncer featured models of the same detail running at 60 fps.

I don't know if I can agree that Silent Hill 3 topped that tech demo.
Click to expand...

How could you not agree? The character models in that FF8 demo simply aren't as complex AND there are only two of them on screen. Go dig up the damn thing if you can. It looks nowhere near as good as you seem to be remembering. Most of the OTHER demos actually look pretty bad by today's standards (the FROM Software demo especially).

You'll find you're in a tiny minority, then, populated mostly by haters in denial.

Your kneejerk reactions based on a self-confessed lack of knowledge are of little interest to the rest of the world.
 
You can tell it was realtime just off the fact that the Cloud model doesn't look as good as the model in FFVII:Advent Children (check the new trailer and compare)

I'm no hater. There is more to Silent Hill 3 than just the characters. The environments I didn't find to be all that impressive. It's the entire package that counts, not just a tiny part of it singled out.

I'll believe the hype when it's been proven to me (i.e. I have played actual games that look phenomenal).

I have no doubt that the PS3 will have great looking games, but I am not so quick to jump on the hype bandwagon when so little has been shown and many times companies have shown prerendered videos saying that they were tech demos. I am no hater, but I am also not going to just fall for hype at first glance. PS3 can "show me" and not "tell me" when it gets closer to release. I am pretty sure final hardware doesn't even exist today - so explain to me how the tech demo trailer is even possible.

Well guess what? The environment in that FF8 demo is very simple and that demo only features two characters on screen.

You are clearly in some sort of denial phase here.

Then why would you be impressed with the FF8 ballroom? The background isn't anything impressive.

I don't know why its so hard for people to accept that Sony came through on what they said the PS2 could do.

Well, if he doesn't remember the demo, FFX or X-2 or the bouncer, then the discussion is pointless. If you want to bring up impressive ingame imagery.. MGS3 is all you need to showcase the prowess of PS2.

The "entire package" of FF8 wasnt anything spectacular. You must need glasses if you can't see that Silent Hill 3 looks better than FF8

I played MGS2, and while the models were impressive - the textures were bland and very poor. In fact, Solid Snake - among other things - seemed to have nothing but flat colors on him. The PS2 can push plenty of polys and has amazing fill rate allowing for awesome particle effects, but it's textures suffer most of the time.

Sony was relying on devs streaming textures more efficiently. They figured their memory bandwidth would alleviate that problem. To me, it appeared that devs really couldn't overcome it many times.

what is this?! World of Mana?

DR_COGENT. I said MGS3. All the vegetation + great character models + great snake model.. nevermind. You can't read.

I haven't played MGS3, so I am not going to comment on it. I am only going to comment on what I have played since it wouldn't be fair. I will have to get a chance to see MGS3, but I don't have a PS2 anymore, so it might be a while. I can read just fine.

I have seen screeenshots though, and it didn't appear to look much different than MGS2.

I thought this was funny

So you're focusing on backgrounds and textures now on how the PS2 didn't top its demos?

I want to see that damn ballroom vid again, not just a screenshot.

Maybe it has been topped. Maybe I am jaded after all. I don't give out my trust so easily anymore though, and I am very skeptical. PS3 might be all that and a bag of chips, but I am still going to wait and not buy into every single movie that gets put out.

:lol

Not selective at all. It's called getting old. Heh.

What I do remember is getting my PS2, hooking it up and then saying to myself - this is it?

That is something that isn't easily forgotten especially after all of their hype videos.

If they are going to release tech demos that look fantastic, they shouldn't launch the console with games that don't even come close to touching them. That's just not right.
 
An exclusive, full remake of FF7 like this would sell like a billion copies and single handedly win the next gen console wars for Sony, even if they didn't release any other games.
 
as much as i love Squarenix i think the presentation sucked major ass!
not impressed at all by the graphics and the demo!

it was nothing compared to Killzone and UT demo
 
Dr_Cogent is on with his Sony hate again I see. Not even the ignore list can make that schmuck invisible to me.

mods do your thing

Please. Spare me. There is plenty of MS and Nintendo hate going around here as well.

My attitude is, I will believe it when I see it. I am certainly not as nuts as a ton of Xbox haters and Nintendo haters on here. Get a grip and a sense on reality please.
