Support NeoGAF

[theofficefan99]

Welp stayed up for more than just a PC announcement but I guess this is all we're getting for right now.

 

[Koozek]

I think it was Platinum, yeah.

Yeah, forget about that real quick then, lol.

 

[Enclose]

170GB!?!?!? Im done.

 

[Lashley]

Most definitely won't be double dipping, but I'm glad it came to PC finally.

Hated it on PS4.

 

[elyetis]

Fuck yes.
Waiting did end up meaning no double dipping, and getting a patched + DLC experience from the get go.

 

[TissueBox]

WHooooo! Thank Bahamut! Can't wait. ^^'

 

[brotkasten]

Early 2018? Could be just in time for the new Nvidia flagship GPU.

 

[Death Penalty]

Will keep an eye out for mods and the like, or any changes that come officially from SE that might make me more inclined to double dip. Thought the combat system was one-note and often a bit of a mess, but with some TLC it could be pretty special and PC seems like the most possible place for that to happen. At the very least, a modder could pretty easily remove the gathering/crafting ammo element from magic, and edit out the silly little grenades, for instance. Maybe even fiddle with the summoning system.

 

[Zeneric]

Sweet. Day one.

 

[TheEndOfItAll]

Chanel:

vs.

Walmart:

You vs. The guy she told you not to worry about.

 

[StarVigil]

Finally we get the version the Sunhi has been playing all along.

 

[shiftplusone]

I hope the windows 10 HDR bug gets sorted before this launches, but my 1080ti is ready

 

[JudgmentJay]

Welp... glad I waited despite buying a copy for PS4.

 

[Sad Affleck]

Origin? This is HUGE.

[Ydelnae]

Key visual for FFXV:WE.

Also, their statements regarding DLC included in this version of the game makes me think they are going ahead with the idea of paid DLC not included in the Season Pass (which will end up being the content that got most votes during the June poll, most likely).

170GB? Someone should tell that Gamezone...

 

[Sinh_Magnus]

I'll probably get this cheaper at a later point, I enjoyed the game and this seems to be on track to become the definitive version of the game content/quality wise.

 

[Kinyou]

It's always been a pretty game but this looks nuts. Especially the grass and hair

 

[Mechanized]

Hope my 970 can run this at high settings.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

I was 100% that those beasts would benefit from HairWorks. Still not that very groundbreaking like I expected.
Also where are the VXGI shown at previous tech demo? Scrapped?

[Shifty]

Ugh, man. Played the PS4 version on launch and had a bad time to the point of quitting when I hit Altissia. Now I want to give it another shot with the various improvements.

You can bet your bottom dollar this isn't coming out at a reasonable price though. Since they've already had my money, I'll wait for a sale.

Edit: Whoof at those recommended specs. They either don't know yet or this is going to be a right bastard to get running smooth.

 

[Ferr986]

Dolby Atmos, wonder if that also comes to the XB1 version.
PC vs base PS4?

PS4 looks way better than that, that's an old ass pre-release screenshort.

 

[dreamfall]

This is awesome news! Hope there'll be some great new content to explore, while not feeling limited by hardware. Put in a solid 60 hours and didn't really scratch enough the game on console, despite completing it!

Lol, yeah, it's sure to be a monster... hope it's optimized well enough!

 

[Mediking]

Enjoy the game, PCGAF! Not all of FFXV is bad. But man... that OT is gonna be full of story complaints. Lol

 

[BY2K]

170GB!?!?!? Im done.

What where?

 

[c0de]

The biggest issue on PS4 was the frame-pacing. Seeing the game in the video makes it immediately look way better because it feels silky-smooth. I can't believe Square didn't patch it yet, although the game received tons of updates to get fixed.

 

[Zafir]

Not surprising but cool never the less. Maybe one day I'll play it through again on PC to see the improvements they made through patches since release.

 

[Shifty]

For a second I thought that Cid clip was bigging up NVidia HATS instead of NVidia HFTS.

The industry's #1 advanced hat rendering algorithm.

 

[BasilZero]

170 GB

Lmao!


I'm not even surprised though.


FFXV on PS4 atm is around 60 GB I think and its gonna get bigger with more updates I bet

 

[BigEmil]

Origins but not GOG?

 

[texhnolyze]

What where?

170 GB

Lmao!

This probably explains it.

That likely pertains to the WinStore version as there's no support for alternative language data as optional downloads.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Well, when you make a Final Fantasy game with a shitty story that's what happens.

 

[Shifty]

First-person looks rubbish unless they're keeping a surprise VR announcement under their NVidia HATS.

 

[Dragner]

Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice...

But good for the people that wants to try it.

 

[kewlmyc]

Hmm, maybe I'll actually beat the game this time.

Hopefully the port is good. I love Nier Automata, but the fact that it still doesn't work for a lot of people is a problem.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Looks way better than the PS4 version

I have it platted on Xbox One, over 130 hours but god damn it looks AMAZING on the PC.

So crisp!

 

[BasilZero]

This probably explains it.

I see.


Gonna get it on Steam but not day 1.


I'm still playing through the PS4 ver....(finished the main storyline but trying to plat it now ;P).

 

[Japanmanx3]

The hair on the Garula was crazy.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Why does it need 170 GB though? Better textures? It is ~45 GBs on Xbox One.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Was hoping for official mod support but I guess people will figure it out anyway.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Finally I'll get to play it yesss

 

[prudislav]

Why does it need 170 GB though? Better textures? It is ~45 GBs on Xbox One.

4K cutscenes?

 

[mieumieu]

This probably explains it.

Not really. All versions contain the same two voice languages (including whatever voice lip sync data there are) and texts (and some localized textures) should not be that big.

4k textures is most likely the real reason.

[Gbraga]

Awesome! Really looking forward to replaying it at 60fps. If my PC can even handle it at that framerate, of course.

It'll be my first time through the DLCs as well.

They should add another platforming dungeon, that would be the best.

 

[texhnolyze]

Yeah, 4K textures AND cutscenes. The movies are probably at 4K by default.

 

[Hektor]

4K cutscenes?

There are no prerendered cutscenes in XV
(Except two minor ones that were patched in)

It's practically called VXAO now and is still in.

[Renekton]

Looks like the purest PC eye-candy, assuming your rig meets the recommended.
