Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

[BelgianRofl]

DeadRiser, I regret to inform you that the 2005 tech demo was in-game footage. It was not a pre-rendered cinematic.

No, it wasn't. That's a cinematic.

Funny because that quite evidently applies to you, since you don't even know basic effects like bump and normal mapping. Or you compare the graphics of games belonging to completely different genres (and with completely different specs that have to be met by the engine).

There are several elements in that cutscene that show clearly that it's prerendered. The effects are mismatched with the models, and there isn't a PC, at the moment, that could fully render that scene in real time, with that polycount, level of detail and depth of field, at that resolution and with that framerate.

Cutscenes can be made and rendered in many way, while there's an engine base in that cutscene (otherwise it wouldn't be a tech demo), there are so many levels of prerendering that it isn't even funny.

So, you ran out of arguments. What's the next ultra-negative trolltopic? Give us a teaser.

I'm hoping it has something to do with how lame his name is... oh wait

You're trying to convince everyone that the 2005 tech-demo is a pre-rendered cinematic. There's no way to speak to that on an intellectual level.

Hehe! I never truly understood what a forum 'troll' was...until now! Thanks OP ^_^/
