That's why I said, all MS and Sony are doing are just licensing the design from AMD. It relieves AMD of liabilities and provides production flexibility for both MS and Sony. I remember MS being very unhappy with how the arrangement with nVidia turned out during the time of Xbox.
And pertaining to Agni, I know it is running real time. I would love to know what is going on, on the right panel where the clothing animation seem very primitive. My speakers are a bit busted. Makes me wonder if we'd see more detailed clothing physics and animation next gen akin to UE's Apex Clothing.
Doesn't look like it but if you have a link to correct me, it'll be most welcome.
Well....
It never looks like that.
Crysis and Planetside 2 have pretty great motion blur. And Star Wars 1313. I guess it's subjective.
Yeah, at really high speeds. But games are emulating film motion blur, not the real life phenomenon.
Never played that, but I played KZ3. It looked okay but it was more distracting than anything that interfered with fidelity.
I didn't like it in either of those.
No. This is because motion blur occurs when an object is physically moving, leaving behind a trail of reflected light. With a monitor, there is no physical movement. It's all a bunch of colored pixels changing rapidly on a flat surface. Because nothing is actually moving around, no motion blur is created. Hence why it has to be added as a post-process.
Our eyes see at a speed close to that of a camera running at 1/50 shutter speed, not an infinitely fast shutter, hence why games look so unnatural at lower frame rates.
No, you need to actually read the thread and pay attention to what people have been saying, which is that this time it's different because we actually have real-time footage of the assets being edited with their tool set on hardware we actually have right now.
Thats exactly what happened in 2005 too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysa8zof4Hfw
I'd say the difference isn't quite night and day, but it's considerably more than 1%.
Cool,how about some PS4 info?
It was a target render that they based on what they had heard the (then) "next-gen" hardware would be like (which was more than they turned out to be), it wasn't even running in real-time. AFAIK, they didn't have anything even closely comparable to even the unfinished Luminous Studios that they used for Agni's Philosophy, let alone any kind of finished development tools (or dev kits, for that matter).
It doesn't really look "far better", technically. The trailer was just so much more cinematic than the more static-cam final game that it might look more impressive, but the final game has some of the exact same animations that the target render of 2006 and there are many areas in the game that don't really have anything to be ashamed of when compared to it. The final game came EXTREMELY close the the technical level of the target render (the battle system itself didn't, but then again that kind of battle system wouldn't have worked too well). Otherwise there are some small downgrades due to the PS3 & Xbox 360 hardware not being quite as capable as they originally thought it would be. Still, Final Fantasy XIII is very close to the target render, there's no doubt about that.
And it's not an ugly game, and the facial details are actually very close. The parts polygon starved are again either the most complex or those with the least amount of focus.
Older build. But I dunno... Doesn't look that spectacular over FFXIII.
It looks like a console multiplatform title compared to its PC version. Too bad we never got the latter.
Not really, 99% of PC ports have identical geometry to the console versions.
Haven't even played past the first god of war.
Hollywood movies don't look anything like this, aesthetically or otherwise.
Nobody knows, but the whole point of the engine is to improve the tools so that there is a smoother work flow and greater productivity. It is unlikely that games of this quality will cost substantially more to make than current-gen games (the assets are close to the same level of complexity as current-gen games, just with more polygons and higher-res textures).
