Titan build? I meant the PAX build.
I know. But he said it was shown. I was point out how you can be shown something and complain about the camera, even if you haven't gotten your hands on it.

It's the part of the sentence you didn't bold.

I was really excited about PAX demo IQ, i hope this IQ stays for the final build, especially happy with lightning system.

I'm sure it will look even better by release since they are working hard every day to polish the game up until the game comes out. Both the PS4 and PS4 Pro version of FFXV will be a beautiful gaming experience.

Little thing I haven't noticed before, it's very minor.

It probably doesn't mean much, perhaps the second pic have that filter for trailer sake only, I just find funny that it took me 5 months to notice this.

You was at PAX? I thought they added free car steering at PAX build, which everyome experienced.
Yes I was at PAX, and yes the playable demo had steering (so I'm guessing it's not exactly the gamescom build).

But the IQ, honestly, was bad. And this is coming from someone who is not a graphics junkie.

There was a huge difference between the playable demo and the gameplay they showed at the panel in terms of IQ. (the uploaded streams' compression don't make it as noticeable I guess)

In fact, the ugly IQ was also noticeable in the panel when they showed the Chocobo Racing footage.

Either they're two different builds, or the difference between Xbox and PS4 is very noticeable D:

I always thought that those were two different builds of the game. The Reclaim Your Throne trailer has better image quality than the Japanese Uncovered trailer. I doubt it was just the filter making it look different.

I loved it! You can read them here.

TL;DR: This game, content and gameplay wise, is looking really good. I stopped worrying about those aspects of the game.

I can't say anything about the story though, because there was not much of it in the demo, and that's fine, they also need to leave room for surprises.

Looking back, was FFXIII's praise prior to release any comparable to XV's currently? Press-wise at least.
It was hype as fuck. Expectations were definitely not met.

On the XIII 'Uncovered' video they showed Pulse and kinda gave the impression that the game would have more open areas. If you look at the little non-cutscene, non-battle, and non-FMV footage they show, it's all in the one open area: Pulse, even featuring a Chocobo.

The game feels like a really solid and good product, but somehow the marketing and other stuff doesn't inspire the confidence it should, or doesn't get the message accross (lol warp strike). Get your shit together SE.
i think the same way, the marketing is not very good (they nailed it on uncovered tho), but good preview.

they only show earlier gameplay/areas so the epic stuff is unknown yet, no CGs either, hope TGS trailer can change that.

Edit: new promotional screen

was browsing google and found images of the Sirocco restaurant in Bangkok, wouldn't be surprised if they took inspiration from this for the party scene area:




Wow nice find! Since the game is a reality based on fantasy, I love looking at where SE gets their inspiration from. To take a real location or landmark and give it that FF tweak is always fun to see! Now I'm wondering what Tenebrae was based on?
