FFVII REMAKE CONFIRMED

[FFShinra]

Here lately we have been getting official translations of new novella/light novel stuff (e.g. FFXV: Dawn of the Future) within a year or so of the Japanese release, so I expect that will probably be the case with this one as well.

Oh most excellent.

...Now I really want them to get Britt and Briana to do audiobook of it when they do.

And that's how Aerith broke the timeline

W....wtf!? Why is that there!? Oh we're gonna have some fun breaking this game apart.

You can access the VR thing from Chadley in sector 5, that's why it's already loaded in with everything else. Decreases load times within the area since it's already there.

Of course tx Just like how there’s a copy of Shinra’s office inside Mako Reactor 1.

This > Remake

OK, so Unreal Engine 5 is out and in developer’s hands. And it turns out the “infinite resolution” asset marketing is actually very true.

Man, I hope Remake Part II or III uses it. The world would be so detailed, and we’ll never have an infamous low-res doorframe scenario ever again. (A lot of the individual objects are sort of N64-lookin’…)

The level of detail is actually mind blowing.

You can move your UE4 projects over to UE5 — I have done so with no issues. There’s no reason not to do it.

 

[Prism]

Indeed. The only thing I can imagine getting in the way is if a lot of assets were already completed with low-resolution in mind. Maybe they’d have to go back and UV and texture the high poly objects, which might cost a lot of time.

 

[Theozilla]

I feel like since Dragon Quest XII is being developed on UE5, the remaining Remake parts would be as well.

 

[Prism]

Yeah, I imagine companies like Square-Enix would’ve had access well before this latest release, so it honestly would seem that way.

No way, the ugly door for example existed in high definition in the files, it was a bug that made the game use the low resolution instead.

Everyone - We will play Yuffie stuff first.

Also everyone - Will chapter select Ch.3 JUST TO LOOK AT THE DOOR

“Low resolution” is a term that always moves around in 3D, so apologies for the vagueness - I didn’t mean just stuff like the door. When I said “low resolution” in that context, I just meant traditional game-ready models as we know them now. Cloud’s 100K poly gameplay model is “low resolution” compared to whatever millions of polys his sculpt has. In this new system, it seems to make the concept of a game-ready mesh obsolete. (Though it can’t be done with animated objects / characters yet, only static meshes - though that’s in the works)

Some objects, even at their highest LoD setting, are still pretty rough and polygonal. (understandable and they still look pretty good) but UE5 could usurp all of that.

Everyone - We will play Yuffie stuff first.

Also everyone - Will chapter select Ch.3 JUST TO LOOK AT THE DOOR

Funniest thing I’ve read all week, lol.

Fans have managed to catch a bit of new stuff explained in the Material Ultimania Plus' promotional video, and I don't know where to discuss that stuff. Should we make a new thread in the spoilers section?

It's a lot of exciting stuff, that sheds a new light on at least some scenes, and I really wish that we could discuss it as a whole, not on every chapter thread - that might be too much. Should we wait for the release though?

 

[Makoeyes987]

Just spoiler tag it here if you're that worried.

 

[Tetsujin]

Imo make a new thread.

Idk why the remake announcement thread is even still alive, people seem too afraid of just making new threads for new things so lots of stuff just ends up in here but I personally don't want more stuff to get buried in a 130+ pages long thread

 

[Makoeyes987]

Lol that's a better idea actually

Starting to make the rounds... Remake spotted on the Epic Games Store...

[LegendarySaiyan]

Niiiiice, even though I know my current PC build won't be able to run it, I am still looking forward for the PC Edition and mostly looking forward for the Mods.

Zack replacing Cloud

Mwa ha ha ha ha. Epic Store rather than Steam suits my purposes very well. Very well indeed.

This does bring a smile to my face........

What purposes? Jerking off into a pool of computer-gaming FF fans' tears?

For a sizable number of PC gamers, Remake being on EGS was exactly what they were hoping *wouldn't* happen... Especially after Kingdom Hearts was put up on EGS with no exclusivity period end date in sight. Which hints it might just stay on EGS and never be released elsewhere on the PC gaming market.

Some people really don't like buying products from companies when that company has been vocal that the people buying products from it don't have have opinions that are relevant when it comes to the user experience...
