Yebis is an optics middleware. It's not an engine. Comparing screens from a trailer which is a year old with something even older is also kind of ridiculous.

NextLevel4334d ago

People shouldn't even be looking at screenshots, it's all about the gameplay. I don't even care if it's SD, any where above 15FPS is also fine.

Malphite4334d ago

Are you crazy? Even if you don't care about the graphics at all, everything below 30fps has a significant impact on the gameplay. 15 fps would be nearly unplayable for most games. Also SD resolution wouldn't allow devs to include as many details.

I agree that gameplay is important resolution and performance have an impact on gameplay and immersion. There is no reason for devs to aim for anything below 1080p at 30fps.

Destrania4333d ago

30fps is completely fine, 15fps is not.

The_Hero4334d ago

The game looks better than the E3 presentation.
Previous videos had this game built on last gen and I can see quite the leap.

Godmars2904333d ago

Middleware software they have no apparent intention to use for the full release of the game. Meaning that, like this discussion, Square's only wasted production time and resources.

Nevermind that what's been shown may not even look like what's been shown. In fact its a near certainty.

Abriael4333d ago

Yebis hasn't been developed by Square. It's a rather cheap middleware developed by Silicon Studio that was just used as a placeholder.

FACTUAL evidence4333d ago

Can you guys all believe that next year will make this game 10 years since we heard about this? To me it's do or don't. My hype died a half of decade ago.

Godmars2904333d ago

"Yebis hasn't been developed by Square."

And what does it matter: they using it. Not for the main production anyway.

The point was however how they're burning through money, making empty, pointless claims, and in general just puttering around.

I was really confused and thought the new footage was old, and old footage was new. I'm so happy that's not that case. That would be massive graphical downgrade. ;P

BlackWolf124334d ago

Not really sure which screenshot is which.

This is a stupid clickbait article.

bouzebbal4334d ago

2 pictures to showcase the animation? is this article trying to troll us?
well the game has been shifted from PS3 to PS4 so why an article to state the obvious?
gamingbolt is about graphic difference and esram... can we have some gaming news please instead?

Elda4334d ago

Of course the graphics are different knowing one version was the defunct PS3 version compared with the now PS4/XBO version

abstractel4334d ago

My most anticipated game based on E3 2013 footage. Getting tired of waiting though.

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom368d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk77368d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125503d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501502d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne503d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989503d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga503d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989503d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga502d ago (Edited 502d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69503d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid502d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69502d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp503d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion755d ago (Edited 755d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled755d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
