Interesting picture. Action menus are visible so this is most certainly a mid-battle shot.

Quite an unexpected move for them to update an old recruitment page with this new image. The hype for E3 is feeling more justified, ever so slightly.

Tetsujin · 05/28/2018

This should be front page material, right?

***Lex*** · 05/28/2018

Yip, should we try and up-res the image a bit for the article?

Shademp · 05/28/2018

Personally I find the up-res'd pic from ResetEra (see previous thread page) to be good enough. =)

***Lex*** · 05/28/2018

I made a post on the FB.

Newspost made

***Lex*** · 05/28/2018

Nice newspost Shad. Someone on the FB thinks Tifa might be in the image to the left of Cloud, but I'm not so sure.

Strangelove · 05/28/2018

seeing a hd model and comparing it with the original game has made me want them to do what they did in one of the newer metal gear solid games, and have optional skins with the retro designs

i want to be able to play in a realistic 3d midgar as a weird clunky lego cloud in purple parachute pants

The two things that might vaguely resemble Tifa are a wheel (far left) and some weird light reflection (immediate left), IMHO anyway. Make of that what you will since I'm not renowned for my sight.

I think you're quite the sight to behold.

There's possible speculation that the screen shot might be a trailer, since it appears to be in play but nobody is using the controller just sitting there.

I could see that, but then I think that's just the menu... if you're talking to the left of Cloud, behind the menu.. kinda looks like she's running away from it and that her boobs are below the highlighted action bar... might just be a trick of the graphics though.

I think people are just seeing boobs because that's what they want to see

Had the same thought but didn't think to add it to the article. Now I added this bit to the newspost:

With the game seemingly being in action, but nobody holding the PS4 controller at the desk, there is reason to speculate that the footage here is from a trailer. Other possibilities are that the remake has an auto-battle feature or that somebody off-screen is playing the game.

EDIT: Okay after reading the following post by hian I decided to remove the above paragraph since at this point the speculation becomes too lengthy (albeit fascinating).

More likely, hamaguchi doesnt give a fetch and just the controller down for the picture.
It could be paused too, as playing a game like that in dev build he will have access to tons of stuff like that.
A second and perhaps most likely option is that it's just a still.
It's a carefully staged photo where the controller and the still are props for framing this image as a device for creating hype.

I doubt hes reviewing a trailer on a tiny work station monitor when they have rooms in SE with giant projectors and surround sound.
Also, Hamaguchi is not the person likely to be reviewing trailers. That would be Nomura and Kitase.
Hamaguchi deals with workflow and management, not with creative calls.

I think this picture is interesting because it points to them doing something closer to a 1:1 remake than was previously hinted. That, or the link was intentional in some capacity and meant to soothe fears.

Same as you, I think. I've been here a lot... You must have a lot going on your mind, I suppose. Yeah, but I'd rather have nothing for a change. How do you do it? Well, it comes with practice. I can think of nothing. I do not feel the need to occupy my mind with nonsense, just to avoid thinking about what really matters.
