Just as a benchmark. People love comparing fps they get with their rigs. + lots of new wallpapers in that 2012 PC Screenshot thread!

Not like they're interested in PC development aside from MMOs anyway. The survey only mentions consoles

Am I remembering that tech demo wrong? I remember that still looking better than current gen games IMO

They should just release an SE branded PC tower with all the consumer-available components used to run the demo, already built together into one package with FF artwork on the exterior. The tech-demo is a great seller. SE has been rubbing me the wrong way pretty much this entire gen, but I'd day-1 a PC package of that sort if they released it.
I just watched it again for the first time in a while.
It's funny how dated it looks now, and how far we've come along this generation.
Well maybe WE don't need them.
WE are the ones putting the money down buying Square games, so They are just useless pawns.

People really need to go back and watch the tech demo's during the PS2 era.... 99% of those demos were properly shat upon once MGS2 was released, which was what, a year or so after the consoles release? And FF12 laughs@ that FF8 tech demo.
FF7 demo still looks good by todays standards, but it's not head and shoulders better than the best of the best this gen.
There really is no reason to doubt Square's ability to live up to graphical expectations. Their track record is pretty solid.

They never seem to want to confirm anything as regards to versus
They've been hiring procedural content generation programmers, which is exactly what they need to adress that kind of problem.

Square Enix definetely fired their shots, now it's the turn of the FOX ENGINE from Kojima.
It would be a curious turns of events if overseas engines will come on top nextgen.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I want to believe, but I've never seen a game look as good as a tech demo for the same generation.
I feel opposite. Every tech-demo I saw, there was something looking better in that generation. Of course, excluding CG tech-demos.
I can think of about 50 games offhand that look better than the FF7 tech demo for PS3.
Same with the FF8 tech demo for PS2.
There's a lengthy vid on gametrailers on the demo. Around 13:00 they compare it to the CGI version, holds up pretty well.

Damn that is impressive.
Not only that, but it look VERY doable with even modest next gen hardware.
When moving the camera around, you can see that even though it LOOKS amazing as a total package, on close inspection it really is not unbelievable at all. Which is awesome.
Yea some scenes actually look better in the real-time one. But thats probably because the CG one wasn't fully complete version.

Even if their tech is ready I question if they have the talent to do anything with it or if the management won't let everything go to pot, again. I really feel like their engine design has got to be the least of their worries at the moment considering even when they ship after giant dev cycles, their actual game design is ruinous.
On another note I also feel like they had the level of globalization they now want with Final Fantasy XII, without the forced style of Call of Duty rammed directly into Final Fantasy. Warts in that game aside, it was such a good choice for reiteration with its aesthetics and system design and it would have also allowed some vision in getting the brand stabilized and on a proper release schedule, it could saved some lumps. They seem stuck in this limbo where they just dont know where they want to go and everything is starting to feel more focus grouped.
Oh well, we'll see,even them stumbling around in the dark is still pretty interesting to me.
I'd imagine it'd mean FFXIV PS3, no? Didn't they engine swap for 2.0?

XIV 2.0 is a custom engine possibly with some of Luminous's technologies.

Keep up the good work, Square.

Going the by the old going (he harsh reminds me of the caped, old white guy in Versus XIII too btw.) I think those guys doing the summoning are the bad guys, no?
He was talking about reigning destruction so I figured THEY were actually the evil guys. xD
FFVI's Terra's Theme @ 14:23. A nice touch, albeit unintentional
Cool. They say it runs between 30 and 60fps.
Hmmm... hopefully we'll see it running at 60fps more often than not though.

This was the first time I was wow'd by graphics in a long time, that was very impressive!

Versus uses the lighting from this engine as well
I would say be prepared for 30 next gen too.
Meaning?

Incredible how fast technology advances.
I remember the days I played Manic Miner on a ZX Spectrum and now we have this.
Except it's not a game. The first full game using this engine won't be out until 3 years from now or so.

I never said it wouldn't be on the Durango either, but the FF devs are likely to lead on Sony hardware.
3 years is a reasonable bet, assuming the engine is almost finish. The SE console games that took forever were released with a CGI graphic and then the engine was still being finished up and we didn't get to see any real footage until a few years down the line. Here you have an engine potentially pretty much ready.
