@C_0guy main characters run over 100K polys each, >250 joints just in the head, >130 blend shapes in face, etc.... CRAZY stuff!

Pretty incredible.

I don't know about Joel, but a few comparisons:

Kratos: ~20k
Heavy Rain main characters: 15k
Lee in The Walking Dead: 5k
Marius in Ryse: 85k

 

[Man]

I'm looking forward to the game! but that sounds like a waste of cpu/gpu resources. edit: My knowledge base is outdated. I thought this would be ~3x above heavily diminishing returns.

Final Fantasy: Spirits Within movie faq:

The model for Aki was designed to closely follow human appearance, with Sakaguchi commenting in an interview "I think it's OK to look at Aki and be convinced that she's a human."[7] Each of her 60,000 hairs was separately and fully animated and rendered,[9] her entire model was estimated to be made up of around 400,000 polygons.[15] Sakaguchi intended to have Aki as Square Picture's "main star", with intentions to use her in later games and films by Square and the flexibility of being able to modify aspects such as her age for such appearances.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

That is... a lot. Wow

 

[iceatcs]

Ok, but show more contents. Someone to stop Sony holding them.

I mean it might coming June-ish this year.

 

[scoobs]

Sounds like a waste of resources.

Sounds like you haven't seen The Order. That is not a waste of resources.

 

[Kieli]

Uh. Is this supposed to be a good thing?

 

[Respawn]

Sounds like a waste of resources.

Everything is for a reason man. Let the game release and then we shall see. Still damn impressive.

 

[Represent.]

Not up to par on this stuff.. How much did say .. Joel in TLOU use? Or Kratos in GOW3?

 

[CambriaRising]

Sounds like a waste of resources.

Yeah the game looks like crap, could have lowered the poly count and made the rest of it look better.

Spoiler

/s

 

[SniperHunter]

they should cut some of those polygons and implement pom's on the walls and the ground

 

[Audible Phonetics]

Uh. Is this supposed to be a good thing?

Not sure if serious??

 

[EGOMON]

What about the mustaches?

 

[Nuke Soda]

More polygons means more emotions.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Sounds like a waste of resources.

30K of those polys are for mustaches alone -- so they cannot be a waste.

 

[Loudninja]

How about the mustaches?

1 billion.

But really I like to know as well.

 

[King_Moc]

Sounds like you haven't seen The Order. That is not a waste of resources.

I think we need to see how it plays before we can make a call on that. What little gameplay they showed in the trailer didn't look impressive at all.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

I hope it plays as good as it looks.

 

[dragonelite]

Give me a 5~15min gameplay slice with dev commentary.

 

[Salex_]

Ok, but show more contents. Someone to stop Sony holding them.

I mean it might coming June-ish this year.

What have we seen from other late 2014 games...?

 

[VanWinkle]

I need points of reference. Nate Drake was 30k in UC3, right? I don't know many about the polycount of characters in any of the existing new gen games.

 

[Raptor]

All those resources should have been for the enemies, for when they get shot and for those headshots and dismemberment, the more pieces of brain/hands/arms/legs and gore the better, and the more detailed the better too.

 

[Theecliff]

I think we need to see how it plays before we can make a call on that. What little gameplay they showed in the trailer didn't look impressive at all.

I think scoobs is mainly referring to the visuals.

 

[beast786]

How much were in Ryse?

 

[T.O.P]

I hope it plays as good as it looks.

^

need gameplay video asap

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Most of those polys better be going into the moustache

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Every moustache hair individually rendered!

It'll be like a hirsute version of Flower.

Most of those polys better be going into the moustache

I hope the moustaches evolve with your character as you level up.

 

[Beerman462]

Good to see stuff like this, this early in the generation. I can't wait to see the games in a couple more years.

 

[EBE]

sounds like a lot? wasnt Ryse somewhere around that area? or didnt they have a poly decrease? i thought Marius looked great.

 

[RK9039]

The more polygons, the more impressive the QTEs will be.

 

[Dictator93]

Our resident bro tim dog has something to say about this:

This guy is the next voltaire. I swear.

 

[iceatcs]

What have we seen from other late 2014 games...?

Random announcement, GDC and E3.

 

[IN&OUT]

Best looking game I have ever seen.

Sony 1st party devs are World class.

 

[ascii42]

How much were in Ryse?

~85k, I believe

 

[CambriaRising]

He might disappear if people would stop posting his twitter feed here every time he farts.

 

[benny_a]

Not up to par on this stuff.. How much did say .. Joel in TLOU use? Or Kratos in GOW3?

I don't know about Joel, but a few comparisons:

Kratos: ~20k
Heavy Rain main characters: 15k
Lee in The Walking Dead: 5k
Marius in Ryse: 85k

 

[Nickle]

They should have used at least half of those polys to make the combat better.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Not up to par on this stuff.. How much did say .. Joel in TLOU use? Or Kratos in GOW3?

I would also like to know this. I mean, it sounds a lot, but some context would be ideal. How about Lara's poly count in Tom Braider DE, for instance? I seem to recall Raziel in Soul Reaver 2 on PS2 had a huge 5000 polygons, but I'm not sure how much use that is for comparison 13 years later.

 

[Brazil]

A billion polygons on your character won't save your game if the gameplay is boring.

Hopefully the next trailers will make me change my opinion.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

What about the mustaches?

They have special mustache shaders.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Well hopefully the gameplay is as high fidelity as the character models.

 

[rdrr gnr]

I don't know about those, but a few comparisons:

Heavy Rain main characters: 15k
Lee in The Walking Dead: 5k
Marius in Ryse: 85k

Don't fighting game characters have high poly counts? Do you know the number of polys for KI characters?

 

[Bundy]

I think we need to see how it plays before we can make a call on that. What little gameplay they showed in the trailer didn't look impressive at all.

Grraphically? It looked super awesome.

 

[anexanhume]

LOL at Tim Dog's reply "sounds like Ryse with black bars. No thanks."

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Tim Dog is just jealous he got passed over for the part of Riley in CoD Ghosts, and now he's raging against the machine (PS4)

 

[megalowho]

Ready for more gameplay related announcements instead of eye candy bullet points.

 

[El-Suave]

Not up to par on this stuff.. How much did say .. Joel in TLOU use? Or Kratos in GOW3?

Kratos was at about 20K in GOW3 if the article I've looked up is correct.
Edit: I just hope the disparity in quality between the main and secondary characters isn't too jarring. That was a weakness in GOW3.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Our resident bro tim dog has something to say about this:

This guy is the next voltaire. I swear.

Is this Tim Dog the one you call Derrick?
OT. 100K polygons is impressive.

 

[King_Moc]

I think scoobs is mainly referring to the visuals.

That will affect gameplay as well, if the resources they are using forces them to exclude certain gameplay ideas, such as anything that isn't a very tight corridor.

Grraphically? It looked super awesome.

Nope, just gameplay. The graphics looked great.

 

[Loudninja]

Ready for more gameplay related announcements instead of eye candy bullet points.

Someone asked they question he answer simple as that.

 

[Messofanego]

How does this compare to other next-gen third person games? Ryse?
