I watched it just now actually. It looks good, but I don't know that I'd say it looks better than UE4. Honestly, it'll be hard to compare until we see them both in action with actual games. And I'll admit I'm quite a bit more impressed with UE4 right now because the demo I saw recently showing off the new graphical effects had them manipulating everything not only in real time, but from within the editing tools themselves which is pretty damn impressive. So I guess a little bit of bias is making me favour the UE4 right now as an actual working engine right now while we haven't seen anything that far along on Square's effort.Originally Posted by Loony BoB
If you still haven't seen it after the reminder, I strongly suggest you do so. Having seen both tech demos, I'd say I was more impressed with SE's considering overall quality, although one could point to the effects in UE4's which were notable.
I don't mind having two amazing engines at once in the gaming world, though.
Still though, more tech is a good thing. I hope they break some cool ground in that regard because it would be nice to see Japan catching up to the rest of the world.
I do wish Square would hire some artists who could paint a decent looking texture though. Some of them were quite good in the E3 demo while others were pretty flat and plain. Their questionable texture work was one of the reasons I don't think FFXIII is half as good looking as others think it is. You can have the best tech in the world, but if you can't make proper use of it then what's the point?
