That's great, tho why the sudden change of heart from Squeenix when their Final Fantasy series have always been focused on the PS and not on the PC (with the exception of VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XIV)?
Btw, the last 2 are released to tap into the PC MMO market and since the majority of the games in the series are single-player, maybe Squeenix didn't see it as worthwhile to release it on the PC, I guess.  Hopefully the upcoming remake of FFVII will make it unto the PC, tho based on Squeenix's history, well... it's hard to say at this point. |

QUOTE(tripleB @ Dec 31 2017, 01:47 PM) Not that surprising though. The gap between the consoles and PC have considerably lessened, so the development process is similar. Both Xbox One and PS4 use AMD processors, with DX11 based GPUs. That's only part of the story. I recall a report sometime last year (or the year before) that many Japanese developers prefer making videogames for the consoles instead of the PC because of the low market share for their games on the latter.In the past Square only focused on a single platform. All of the FF games before FFXIII only had a single target platform during the development phase. Also, Japanese game studios traditionally built their own engines before they even build the game. Since the engine was developed with a target platform in mind (PS1, PS2 etc) porting is often not straightforward. Going forward I would expect faster turnaround time for PC ports, as it should be easier with the middleware engines like Unreal. I will definitely buy their PC efforts, in order to show support. Now where's Dissidia for PC?  Regarding the topic of PC ports, the last single-player game Squeenix released on the PC is The Last Remnant, using the Unreal Engine. Hopefully with this FFVII remake using that engine, there is a possibility... This is the 1st Final Fantasy title to use Unreal, tho. |

QUOTE(sai86 @ Jan 7 2018, 09:22 PM) yeap. if slow-pace gameplay, 30fps++ avg is acceptable for me - eg. RE7 those game. To me, I still prefer to game on my monitor than a 4K TV. On my GTX 970, I'm able to achieve 60fps on the Witcher 3 but there are times where it dipped below that, but still playable.but if fast pace combat, need to maintain 60fps 1st then graphic came later. I have no doubt that FFXV will be able to run on my PC with my current card, but see how far Squeenix is willing to scale down their graphics in the final product. I don't plan to upgrade my PC anytime soon but see how it goes. |

QUOTE(Savor_Savvy @ Jan 19 2018, 11:14 AM) This game is good for its price. Not that I'm trying to be a scrooge or anything. Just want to save wherever possible.But to be honest, I seldom buy games on its launch day, save for Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. |
