So they made Bravely Default? Damn.

 

[block tower]

is the same studio that just made Bravely Defult?

 

[Yaser Tech]

is the same studio that just made Bravely Defult?

Yes.

It's very impressive, looking forward to their next project.

 

[androvsky]

Iirc, they also made 3D Dot Game Heroes.

 

[Falk]

Yes.

It's very impressive, looking forward to their next project.

I'm looking forward to Bravely Second too!

edit: they've made middleware for quite a while. I doubt their studio size would be able to utilize their own tech to its fullest extent considering the amount of assets required. But as a tech demo that's freaking impressive. Hope the licenses go far, if that's what they're planning to do.

 

[Exentryk]

They are also working on another project with Square Enix (not Bravely Second).

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Looks impressive, hope someone can use it to make an RPG from it.

 

[LX_Theo]

Based on the engine, I'm thinking not 3DS or the like.

 

[Banjotanooki]

I read it as Silicon knights for a minute, lol.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Holy shit, it basically looks like cg. Imagine if Bravely Default looked like this.

 

[dhonk]

Doesnt look too different from something that say, UE4 could pull off but whoever modeled that camera clearly loves themselves some cameras. Really gorgeous.

 

[StudioTan]

That was realtime? Damn, that's very impressive.

 

[androvsky]

That reminds me a lot of the Tri-Ace tech demo from a few years back in terms of the kind of effects they're emphasising. It might be just a standard list of benefits from using physically based rendering, but it is interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cuXgRVMvZ0

 

[-SD-]

This needs A LOT more attention.

Very, very impressive. That demo is like a scene from a Reset sequel.

I am disappointed nothing came of that.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Quick someone make a webm vid.

 

[stryke]

I won't be impressed until I know what hardware they're using.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Are they making a next gen game 0_0 pleeeeease!!!

 

[polyh3dron]

Looking forward to the next mediocre looking console game they make that utilizes none of the tech displayed in this demo a la Tri-Ace.

 

[BasilZero]

Amazing.

Hope to see more works from them.

 

[sankao]

Quick someone make a webm vid.

Came to say this.

 

[GameAddict411]

looks incredible, especially at the end when it focuses on the camera. the important question: is this do-able on the PS4/XO? if this is running on some kind of insane hardware than it's not so impressive.

 

[JordanN]

When they the showed depth of field, they were controlling the f-stop of the aperture. Nice touch.

 

[MrGerbils]

Wow... Just, wow.

 

[markot]

There a reason most Japanese companies seem to spend their time making engines instead of games these days?

 

[Nirolak]

They are also working on another project with Square Enix (not Bravely Second).

Well, they said they were /hoping to/, not that they are.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Do you have examples of this?

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Incredible.

It reminds me of The Third and The Seventh.

[A-V-B]

No way, is this real time? This can't be real time, this shit's amazing.

 

[Vire]

Super cool tech demo. Hope these guys get to make a great next-gen RPG.

 

[Eusis]

No way, is this real time? This can't be real time, this shit's amazing.

I actually thought about something, how the dynamic themes on PS3 might actually be the only practical way to get tech demo level performance out of a console: by only rendering one scene with zero human control. Certainly Dark Souls 1 had 60 FPS 1080p scenes of stuff that was in-game, and DSII's is crazy high detailed though that might be some tricks with sprites or whatever.

Similar here, I could see a PS4 doing this maybe as a dynamic theme-type thing, but nothing with real gameplay will look like this unless it's similarly constrained.

 

[T.O.P]

holy shit

 

[raven777]

well, here is there YEBIS 2 engine GDC2014 demo
advanced optical effect middleware
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBO-tI_mCks#t=90

notice some of the games that are on that video lol.

 

[ab.aeterno]

It looks amazing, but knowing we won't see a game of this fidelity makes it hard to be excited by it. Tech demos always look great because they don't have to do anything but render a scripted, small sequence.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Pretty, seems by the link they are making a next gen game. PS4 hopefully.

 

[ACIDTITAN]

Is The Luminous Engine even being used for any games we know off?

 

[raven777]

Is The Luminous Engine even being used for any games we know off?

not fully, cause the engine is not finished.

games like FFXIV ARR, FFXV, KH3 are using technology from Luminous engine (like the lightning)

 

[Bazztek]

Is The Luminous Engine even being used for any games we know off?

FFXV and KH3 are using it.

I believe XV is also using the Yebis middleware in conjunction with Luminous.

 

[andrerobot]

FFXV and KH3 are using it.

I believe XV is also using the Yebis middleware in conjunction with Luminous.

Well, according to them Yebis is integrated into Luminous.

YEBIS built into Luminous Studio (top left of the screen, setting DOF)

[gigantor21]

So...what kind of hardware is this running on, exactly?

 

[UnrealEck]

To be honest the only part that impressed me was the closeup on the camera. That looks very realistic.

 

[element]

Graphic demos = easy
Content workflow to achieve graphic demos = hard

While I love a good graphic tech demo as much as the next person, they only good so far due to toolset workflow difficulties.

Also without knowing the hardware, it is just pretty.

 

[Chobel]

Holy shit! This is too good to be real time.

 

[javac]

Looks like real life 0_o

 

[Apophis2036]

Please make a PS4 JRPG that doesn't have the combat of DMC !

 

[EvB]

This is a tech demo for their post processing effects middleware.
The agni's philosophy tech demo was using it too

It's called yebis 2

[Reallink]

What are these unicorn JRPG's you're playing with DMC combat?

 

[forknknife]

I can't wait for next next-gen
