I want to be totally slapped across the face with that CG. Very happy to see this one will also be multiple discs.

Man, I wish I could go see that BlueRayMan Group one day. People say they aren't needed, but I beg to differ.

My comments on this game/machine been good or bad does not mean i like/hate the machine i am not a fan nor a hater, just i have a opinion and wish to share it.

2007-09-20 14:35:54

LMAO, not that was just ridiculous, especially when you zoned into the wrong area and had to switch a disc just to go back to where you came from.

Well, American developers dont seem to have the same fetish for over the top CGI movies, like Japanese developers. Personally, I don't care if they use the game engine for the cutscenes, as long as the same amount of time is put into the story, as I'm sure it will with Mass Effect, though I am wondering with Lost Odyssey (only a bit, but a bit none the less).
Call me crazy, but I find extravagent CGI movies take me out of the game just as much as disc switching, and it is just as antiquated, the graphics are already purty, I don't care about prettier movie moments, we aren't playing on a PS for christ sake!
I'm still going to buy the game, and disc swapping is no big a deal, but I'd rather disc swap cause the game is 1,000 hours long instead of to see some pointless HD CGI movies.

Except of course one of the most successful western developers is also known for their CGI, Blizzard.

Who's laughing now hey?

Oh you are Mr Blue Ray.

I don't see how pre-rendered CG is pointless anyway. Personally I like seeing CG in some games. I wish NG2 could have HD CG.. the CG in NG1 was freaking excellent. It's not like we've reached the point where in game engines can match pre-rendered video.. I'm not sure that will ever happen.

Now granted, there's a smoother transition from cinema to gameplay when you do use the in game engine.. but in some cases, it hardly matters.

2007-09-20 23:33:24

Well I remember Sakaguchi said that Blue Dragon had a seperate team working on the CGI (maybe this is the same), which obviously cuts development time, if all the cutscenes had to be done in realtime it would be more work for the programmers.

4 discs, holy hell, i thought we left that behind back in the psone days.

a lot of people complain about long loading times due to it breaking immersion (me included)...changing discs is even worse.

seems blu-ray isnt as pointless as most *cough* xbox fanboys *cough* thought.

i really dont like the look of the game either. i think this is gonna be another dissapointment just like blue dragon.

2007-09-21 01:42:08

Yes paying $150 more so I can sit on the couch for an extra 30 seconds every week makes much more sense!

There are people around here alot worse than KORNdog who do that Jolli.
