By definition several means more than two. that posters statement stands.

Despite the "official" definition of "more than two, fewer than many", in modern English it pretty much always means "More than a few, fewer than a dozen".

Nobody calls 3 several. (or if they do, they get weird looks, like just now) It's usually used when it's a small number, but big enough that you can't immediately say an exact count at a glance. 5 or more usually.

BTW can you still redeem Duscae codes if you buy one?

Nope.

I edited my comment because of the controversy. I apologize if it fried any brains.

Lmao that only makes me curious to see what it was.

 

[Krammy]

What? No.

?

You saw it in person? The e3 Titan demo has been reportedly smooth for both Xbox and PS4.

No, I'm talking about the Microsoft conference with the live demo, it looked like it was running with a lot of dips.

SE admitted the demo was an older buggier build than what was on the show floor on the 2nd day stream, that and Mat ain't good.

I'm really liking the trend of dynamic resolution in games. I'd honestly like to see it become standard across the industry when it comes to consoles. It allows for more stable framerates while also allowing for a sharper image a large amount of the time.

Streams aren't really great for judging framerates.

Dark from DigitalFoundry played and saw the e3 demo in person.

Just a tad on Xbox One. The resolution was still very low, as expected, but the part of the demo I played was running very consistently at 30fps with no frame-pacing issues. Definitely a big step up from the demos we've received for download in terms of performance.

The section I played was on the way to the Titan as I only had a short time.

I did watch some of the PS4 version being played and it looked quite smooth as well.

I'm starting to feel confident that the performance will be taken care of by launch.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Im glad they are prioritizing frame rate, but it is disappointing that the IQ will likely be bad.

Good to hear this, I'd love to feel like that 10 years of hype wasn't for nothing.

Here is a video of the Titan demo running on PS4:

I think both framerate and imagequality look pretty good in the video, at least as far as it can be told with YouTube compression. Actually I think the game looks really great here.

You can also see how to use items as well as the current version of the main menu, it looks a bit more finished then the last time.
The item menu pauses the game like in Episode Duscae so you're not rushed.

I have to be honest, this video makes the Titan fight look waaay cooler. It actually makes sense and is easy to follow.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but wtf were they thinking showing that specific spot of the fight without much context on stage at E3.

 

[Ruff]

So are all spells in this game going to be like a grenade type thing?

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Only the elemental ones. There is still the mysterious "Ring Magic" they said is specifically tied to Noctis's ring.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

They really should ditch the TAA, it doesn't look good. Duscae's FXAA was better and didn't result in those weird blocking artifacts.

I'm honestly surprised that they managed to make Titan look fun. I had lost all hope for set pieces. Looks like if you inflict enough damage, Titan gets staggered and you can inflict direct damage. There's more than just dodging.

Tabata did say that this is from an updated build, and you can really tell. Wonder if the Lucian desert looks better in this build...

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

That AA part on the OP sounds really weird...

 

[Styles]

I just wish the fight wasn't so scripted.

 

[Balls]

I just wish the fight wasn't so scripted.

Set pieces are always scripted.

 

[The Last One]

You know, I'm surprised that they didn't mention anything about the royal ring's magic.

 

[wmlk]

Wonder if this ties into Ring Magic:

They're trying to achieve some cool technical stuff with them, like Noctis soaring up with (or materializing into?) a cloud of water particles in "spiritual form" and then slamming hard into the ground again in "physical form" when using a certain weapon

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=178590965&postcount=1112

Or, that could just be a weapon you get after beating Leviathan or something.

It could be, I was actually thinking the royal magic would be more like Meteor, Ultima, Flare, Holy and this kind of stuff.

 

[InsaneTiger]

I don't know, nothing is making me feel good about this game. The long development hasn't helped but playing the demo the combat seemed so bland, "hold down button.". Maybe something isn't clicking.

 

[The Last One]

I just noticed the 13 slots for the Armiger ins this picture. Pretty cool.

Wow you're right the framerate looked incredibly smooth even when there were a lot of particle / smoke effects on screen.
Seeing this footage actually makes me incredibly hopeful that the final game will have a stable framerate no matter the situation.
