Dear modders...
It's always been awful.
MT Framework is freaking magic. Dead Rising had zero slow down and dynamic events among the hordes? Lost Planet 2 was huuuuge and could contain levels within levels and display both for each player so no interruptions? Crazy Capcom REALLY should've sold the engine to other studios. They'd not be in the crisis they are now. But that's unrelated
Please UE4, don't suck. Pleeeeeeaaaaasssse. Square-Enix doesn't seem to have a good history with western engines, and I REALLY don't want long loading times in KH. I'm not even familiar with KH having loading screens in the past and it's not something I want to see. Related: D4 came out. Its wiki says it was made on UE3, but the UE4 wiki says that D4 was made on UE4. It looks like UE3 to me, but asking anyway to see if that's a demo of the engine.[DOUBLEPOST=1412849439][/DOUBLEPOST] I don't mean to counter Libre here, because he's not wrong at all, but a big problem in the last gen is that so many games used the same engine and didn't diversify their profile enough. That's not going to be a problem for Square Enix with KHIII. However, there is a reason big developers swear that every game should have its own engine. Even, ironically (and maybe hypocritically), Insomniac Games. The reason for that is if you build an engine with the design of a particular game in mind, then you know it's going to handle everything the game needs- no more, no less. Which is great for a game because you can kind of prioritize the systems you want. In terms of an engine like UE3 (I'd say UE4, but I can't speak for it honestly), or MT Framework (Capcom, but to a lesser degree), the engine is more universal meant to handle few particular situations and is a rather broad spectrum. But as Libre said here, because they don't have to program an engine, they now have more time to focus on the game portion of the game, which you'd be surprised how late that comes into play. Is it a problem? No. With UE3 in particular it was because it handled models in a particular manner, it was easier for it to render dark colors with complexity and depth (a lot of colorful games on UE3 were either still gritty or very simple to counter this, so I've read), it was really bad for action games (How Killer is Dead functions on UE3 I do not know), and it was known for long loading times and big texture pop ins. So we had a lot of games that had similar patterns that, frankly, didn't need to be there and arguably put a bruise on a generation (I disagree with this sentiment, but it's arguable that we lost a lot of identity due to laziness). A more positive example for using a universal engine would be MT Framework from Capcom (which basically exists to render things at very high quality, make big areas, load well, and have lots of things going on- it's actual magic compared to UE3) or iD Tech 5 from... erm... iD. Basically, with that in mind, it could mean a lot of things for KHIII and a lot of it depends on how stable the engine itself is. It could mean PC release because UE4 is a pc-based engine so there'd be no porting involved. But, like the finished Luminous Engine, the work is still in Square's hands. The engine switch isn't going to give them an excuse if they fuck it up.
That was my favorite track from Final Mix, iirc.
Guys, the source is Badass Digest. Move along, there's nothing official here. If you read the BAD article, you get their source: This is all speculation from a site called "HitFix." To clarify, he did not say that they would reboot Spider-Man. They want their Spider-Man to have some Avengers play dates. In reality, the Sinister Six movie, the Venom movie, and ASM3 are still being made and are very big productions. To clarify even further, it's rumor.
As the console warrior here and hater of Steam.... FFXIII won't be inferior at all on PC. Playing it on Xbox if you have the choice for PC is dumb. Really, really, dumb. Have fun with Pulse slowdowns. The only time a console port is superior is when the game is designed around the controller and putting everyone on the same ground. Multiplayer can arguably be a better experience on console (don't shoot me here, I more mean that because everyone has the same tech, they're on the same level, however TV size can ruin this to a lesser extent). Most of the time there's no difference. The best TPS ever runs at 30fps and it's stuck on console. It's fine. In the case of an RPG with known slowdown? Console may not be the best option. Ask Last Remnant how it's console release went and how it actually works and became a damn good RPG on PC. EDIT: Any one who wants PC gaming only is also an idiot. Consumer options, where we are not with both physical and digital, is great. In addition, Steam-only is a problem because no quality control, let alone first party quality control.
Thanks guys! Every single post and skype message made me feel very appreciated :)
Meanwhile, I've been up for 20 hours in an attempt to fix my schedule.
Eh, my personality type alters on the social situation and my enthusiasm towards that situation. I'm a beta around my family, I'm outgoing in crowded environments, I like to be heard, but when invited to do things I usually scoff. I don't care for these tests because everytime I take one I get a different result. I'm as pervy and silly as Issun from Okami, I'm bombastic like Gene from God Hand, and I easily sympathize and am all about taking action like Wei Shen from Sleeping Dogs. Boom. No test. Paycheck.
Sabby, I love you, so I won't say anything about you getting staff after showing you like to be a regular for days out of the year <3
Did someone really suggest making house animals strays is a better solution? Like, these animals without survival instincts should be let free and all will be well? Was that a thing said?
YESSSS I STARTED A THING
Dear thread, If I have disappeared, it's because Hyrule Warriors is TOO MUCH GAME.
He's writign about his shortcomings while he falls short. Meta.
Shocked Lords of the Fallen didn't win. Shocked. That said, can't wait to play Evil Within.
2007? Cowboy Bebop sir.
That's Ben aka Rainshine. Not Below. But when you switch the names, you got it.
Captain America Says the Jew?
Today, KHV was found to be so pretentious that it was cut off from the rest of the internet.
