IMO one of the main factors behind the Teen rating of the OG is that the OG was rated back in 1997. Values have shifted quite a bit since then, and things are not rated the same way they used to. Just keep in mind that, for example, political correctness was not a concern back then. With similar...

IMO, language wouldn't be the only element that would be constrained if the remake were aiming for a Teen rating. A lot of things would have to be watered-down (blood, drug and alcohol references, "suggestive themes"...). I really hope it doesn't take this path. Else I'd be angry enough to shout...

At first glance I'd say problem with face normals. If that's the case, when you're in Edit mode check the Shading/UV tab on the left hand side panel, select all the faces and click "Recalculate". In a general manner, if you set the shading of an object as "Smooth" and you see weird shading...

Just in case you need a bookmark. Indeed, knowing the shortcut keys in Blender makes a huge difference. Honestly Blender is the only program where I used shortcut keys extensively.

Well if you need any tip with Blender let me know ;)

Indeed. SE has already released FFs which had seen a change of director during the course of the development.

Yeah. Too bad it cannot be switched according to the in-game date. Actually, ever since I got to play Bethesda franchises (starting with Fallout 3), I was thinking they should implement seasonal changes since a playthrough can span over such lengthy periods of time (in my current playthrough...

Blessed are PC players... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIDsHVZICp4 I wish I could play that on the PS4

That's a tough call, I'm quite nuts about FF7 environments. I'm probably less curious about Midgar than other locations, because I've already seen many HD renditions of Midgar (AC, remake trailers, or even our work at Team Avalanche). Nibelheim and the Nibel mountains were of great interest to...

Just to confirm: yes I was :D

I agree. IMO the number of concepts developed for FF XV which could be perfectly transposed to FF7: R successfully is remarkably high.

IMO you know when the art direction has done an awesome job when a game is able to age well, like that. On a completely different art style, I had a similar feeling the last time I replayed Mirror's Edge.

I completely agree. I personally even went to buy the 3 in import and try to play it in Japanese (which I don't understand at all), relying on whatever translation I could find to follow the story. In the end, I enjoyed it a lot, better than 2. However, the original was still better in my eyes...

Yeah, their "strategic" decision to make the 2 and 3 for PSP, and then not bring the 3 to the West because "the PSP market is too small to cover the cost of localization" >_> ... Better than nothing I suppose. I really enjoyed the franchise and I was kind of sad to see it go.

I think you are insane, but don't let me stop you :)

To be honest I haven't really felt like participating to the case-over-the-hilt discussion, namely for 2 reasons: - From my experience in 3D modeling, as long as you don't have really clean cut screenshots of objects in near orthographic view, it's very difficult to judge of sizes and length...

So... that's the version I've come up with given what I could glance from the newer trailer. I aimed at an anodized aluminum look for the black metallic part, and it took me some time to figure that the guard seemed to be made of a similar material. Then I aimed for a worn brushed steel for the...

It's untextured so far, I'll work on the materials later. Then I can add some materia orb, change shaders (namely to check out the difference with/without volumetric emission), and we can see how that compares with what we've seen so far.

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week :) If the materia in the trailer has been modeled as some kind of glassy marbles, then it's normal that they look so dull: there's little lighting and half of each faces an unlit metallic surface. That's just how light works. EDIT: On second thought it...

Regarding what might be materia in the Buster Sword round slots: The way they look actually corresponds to a glassy material. Given the lighting and the place they're in, they receive very little light and don't yield a lot of reflection. If you want the materia to "shine with magic", IMO you...
