General Discussion / Re: Unreal Engine 5 explained by developers

Indeed, is a huge advancement in the Art department, you basically don't have to worry about detail reducing framerate and ruining the gaming experience. It also removes the need of all those extra steps and software to be able to get them in the game. I'll be watching closely how this engine develops and if it delivers all that is promised.

They also offer advance guidance and classes for the engine features, but sadly not in my region, they do have online classes though.

General Discussion / Unreal Engine 5 explained by developers

« on: 2020-05-14 15:49:09 »

We are living in a great era for game developers and artists. You no longer need to be part of a huge greedy studio to develop your ideas and Art in videogames. You just need a handful of talented people, or you can even just do it yourself if you are a control freak. Still always remember to have all the legal stuff in order because you never know what will happen to your team. 

Unreal Engine 5, is free to use, but you have to pay them 5% if your game succeeds.

I'm very excited for this.

(FF7R is made in Unreal Engine 4)

General Discussion / Re: [SPOILERS] FF7 remake discussion time!

« on: 2020-04-19 00:26:06 »

Story and gameplay aside, the game really shows the potential of Unreal Engine 4, and is a free open engine. I wonder what is the modding potential of this game if it comes out for PC when is complete, I guess 5 more years? being an open engine helps a lot with this. Would SE stop me with a cease and desist if I made a ff7classic mod on top of this? I would mod the first mission for fun/study and love for this game, with dialogs in text and all that.

The Cloud model hair and face is not what I imagined at all. I know this is a very personal thing. I just don't like he has asian features and a asian fashion hair.. he should look like a natural blonde, not like a hair paint blonde and a lot of hair product. The body on the other hand looks good to me though. Why do you think such need to make him talk? Is not like Nintendo makes Link talk and they can pull it off. I guess the classic chibi model and text is like a book, where your imagination do the most part.

General Discussion / FF7 "Prelude" special feeling still haven't faded..

« on: 2019-08-05 04:52:18 »

I remember the first time I heard it and what I felt, I'm happy to say this song still gives me that very special feeling. FF7 The Prelude, oh what a master piece. This song can really transport me into a very special place. It takes me to a whole other world, a very special place I created as refuge from my life. I know this are only fantasies but I don't really care. I feel like I'm capable of doing anything, I feel like I could help anyone and that I'm defeating all evil and negative things from this world. I often have left this song in loop for hours and just let my emotion and imagination the control. It gently removes all my pain and fills me with a new sense of hope and awareness. I just wish I could take you there, I know you could appreciate it.

At least the comments on the videos are halarius. "Pu$$y game so bad it made him cross a whole continent for his sister's cooch", "Jamie had post-nut clarity".

Also here another massive plot fail I haven't thought of yet.

White Walkers can't touch you or they'll freeze you... he grabs Arya by the neck.

I can only imagine what they said for the final episode because for some reason there is no back of the scenes for that one, no wonder after the "kinda forgot.." fiasco.

It seems so, they are the ones who started inventing things and then they r too lazy to wrap it up. No wonder Sansa always felt off for me, it was their move. I guess their excuse was "thats not good TV George, we know whats good TV".

In fact, even the actress herself has made comment about how silly that is.

Yes, in the back of the scenes of the slaughter episode she says something like "they want me to appear dead for second and then recover, but the audience is too smart for that..." she also appears with a very insecure posture.
The writers also actually say they wanted her there only so you would care more for that scene, not for plot. They just thought of "cool scenes" not the story as a whole, leaving this mess behind.

I mean, it's possible to enjoy a show but still acknowledge the writing is bad, lacking, etc. One of my favorite movies is The Room. That movie is bad at a level beyond human comprehension. It was made by an alien after all.

The thing is we spected something deep but we got something empty just for easy entertaiment and laziness, I guess I also blame cocain for their inflated ego.
One thing is if you start watching something you know is bad just out of curiosity or fun or because some aspects of it you like, another is to have quality that turns to emptiness in the end.

Yes, but why. This is a dream job for any writer. All I can think of is that the original author got sick of their personal twists and just left them in the dark for this to happen, maybe they even had several fights. They just didn't know where to go on their own. I blame HBO really, they have to listen to the original author, and if he wanted the writers gone than thats what you have to do. Don't they have a team of senior writers to review whatever script thats handed to them, this are all amateur writer mistakes.

The Night King logic.. If I die we loose so I'm just gonna step in the middle of my enemys base when im perfectly capable of sending my generals and undead practically forever from my ice castle. This is just as unsatisfying as Madara in Naruto.

The worst for me is that there is zero development of the night king, never said a word? Villain development is like writing 101, so much potential.. I really wanted to know his back story and why he used that spiral symbol all the time. Just this has the potential for a complete season in the hands of good writers... and Jon never got to fight him.. How is there not a single white walker fight? this make no sense.. is on porpuse for a spnioff or something?

I don't feel that bad about the actors but I really feel for the Art crew, an Arty man myself, I know all the effort they gave for every detail, all of it down the drain.


Here you know even he knows he had no idea what to do, hes looking down in shame with a very insecure voice.

I would not call it terrible, all I'm saying is that you are exaggerating, there are lots of scenes that I loved. And I don't see why such and aggressive response.. Also season 7 is still on going, so I would not cast it all out until watching it all.

Ok there may be negative elements but can we not be like most humans and also foccus on the positive things? there are lots. Also season 7 has not ended yet, we are in half season. They have pretty much cleared the path for what comes, sometimes that is necessary.

I also think that the over expectation and the anxiety of waiting 1 week for the next episode and years for a season may leave you with a let down, when in fact wasn't that bad.

Also I love the scene where Jon comes back from the frozen lake. The look that Khaleesi gives really got to me.

Troubleshooting / Re: FFVII Black Screen

« on: 2016-02-03 18:29:25 »

update* I installed with "Aali's Custom Driver Installation" and all seemed to be working, but only for the first run. When I enter the game for a second time, the resolution is off again and the game crashes when I hit menu. Is like the driver is being kicked out of the registry. Good thing is I got to the first save to try way faster fixing the issues.

Now when it crushes it does throw a app.log in desktop, but is empty.
Can someone tell me what exactly this driver does? The answer of my problem is within.

Troubleshooting / FFVII Black Screen

« on: 2016-02-03 16:11:20 »

Hello, it's been a while and I wanted to play a this game again, but now I can't seem to get it to work. I patched 1.02 and used latest 0.8 aali's driver, but when I start the game I get a black screen, press enter it gets me to New Game-Continue screen, press New Game and eternal black screen. I don't see any app.log, to post, like it was never created, where should that be showing? I don't know what to do. I use win7 64bit, nvidia.

Thanks

but after a long time of testing i decided to mess with it in a virtual machine and it seemed to work on any OS XP, Vista or Win7 (as shown in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao0uGF-37Mc) so i am kind of confused as to why it works in a virtual machine and not on a real machine, from what i can tell it is most likely due to the graphics (but this is my own theory and NOT a fact), Virtualbox emulates a graphics card and appears to be able to handle MGS fine.

Thank you for the input, can it be played through this software? or is just a software for testing stuff?

I dont think zelda is more fiction than MGS, they just happen in different timeline.

Great stories can have nothing belieavable, it all depends on the way its presented and the way it evolves. If a story and enviroment successfully inmerse you in its world, you will automaticlly be playing along with it whatever that world is. For example: Zelda Majoras Mask and Shadow of The Colossus.

I would fix it myself if i knew anything about coding.

As a side note i successfully emulated it on ePSXe, in Nvida Control Panel - Color settings: bright=35, digital vibrance=41, contrast=50, sharp=0, gamma=40. Looks pretty cool, same color config i used in Silent Hill.

Come on man you cant be saying that. It adds a lot of mood and sentiment to the game. Im actually not playing this and try to emulate a ps1 version of the game, maybe im to sensitive but i need it. It is something missing, i want it all or nothing.

@cupcake

No, I havent noticed. I only played until the first cutscene that showed this though, and then went to try find a fix.


@DLPB

I feared that. Well this means the ending is all screwed up, i used to have this for ps1. This is really a let down.

Hello, im having a mayor problem with this game, the gameplay is perfect but in the scenes of real life footage the screen goes blue, i can still hear the sound though and the video can pass and i can play fine but still really sucks.

Here is how it looks:

I tried all the settings but all end the same, i also tried win 98 comp. Im playing this game in windows xp.


Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks
