The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

[Ricky D]

Although I have yet to play, if this game would have launched alongside the PS4 like it was suppose to, I think the reviews would be higher.

Kingdom Hearts III Drops Luminous Engine In Favor Of Unreal Engine 4


Kingdom Hearts III director Tetsuya Nomura recently shared the latest on the development of the upcoming title, and according to the interview with Famitsu, it looks like Square Enix have dropped the Luminous engine and are going with Unreal Engine 4.



In our earlier report, it was noted that Square Enix were having some sort of design problems due to engine-related issues. The full interview reveals that this was a problem with the Luminous engine, which was dropped in favor for the Unreal Engine 4.



“The [development] is going steadily and according to the schedule,” said Nomura when asked about the development status of Kingdom Hearts III.



“Due to having switched to Unreal Engine 4 for various reasons, we’re having trouble on some parts as far as rendering goes, but with help from the folks at Epic Games, progress is going safely.”



While it may seem like a change of engine might be a big setback for Square Enix, Nomura reassures that the development is going fine and everything is still going according to schedule.



During the interview, Nomura also said that he’s currently working on the scenario scripts and choices for the worlds. He’s also working on the latest designs for Sora and Riku’s new outfits.



Kingdom Hearts III is in development for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

When they say Luminous is proprietary for FFXV, does that mean it can't be used for anything else after or is SE done making their own engines?

 

[alleyzonjay]

I mean, it's free. Not exactly a lot to lose. 

yes youre right i dl almost all free games that come to PS+. some i would of never played if it hadnt been for PS+.

is car customization in the game? not tuning, but like car colors, rims, tires, spoilers, lights? thats what i loved most about NFS.

It CAN be used for things after. Will it be used? Who knows. You might see XV-2 and XV-3.

They're not done making their own engines they just haven't been doing it well. Someone once told me after their game shipped "Never ever try to use the same team to develop an engine and a full game at the same time. It will be a disaster." SE keeps having many disasters but for some reason they still feel like this is 1997 and they can accomplish this.

Also not sure if this was posted either:

Square Enix filed a trademark on Friday with the European Trade Mark and Design Network for "Mevius Final Fantasy." The list of goods and services under the trademark include video game software, computer game software, and a variety of merchandise.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

This is what Toriyama is working on. Don't be excited.

Mark my words there will be an article about people who got fed up with waiting for ff15, that they learned fluent japanese and went to gaming school.

Just to fly to japan to help se finish ff15.

Will DRIVECLUB PS+ edition drop today

 

[swendro]

first rusty comes by after AC news, now jetpac and Blake poke their head in to tell us about why Driveclub isn't good. Nice.

 

[still itachi]

I feel like the Drive Club Review was fair.

It was. Dude is like a racing game aficianado and gave it credit where it was due, but held it up to the best in the industry and found it to be not quite on that level.

 

[iYen]

The usual suspects.

I hope the jump to UE4 for KH3 is the start of them recognizing they can't carry on like this.
A bit of a waste for the Luminous engine if all that work is only going into one game/ franchise.

Is Toriyama's game a console spin off. I'll get hyped regardless

Will DRIVECLUB PS+ edition drop today

Around 3-5 EST.


Also great info-graphic

.

 

[a55a5in11]

[purpnyellow]

[swendro]

Streaming Spelunky

twitch.tv/swendro88

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Evil Within next week.

Let's see how that turns out.

 

[hongcouver604]

PSN down right now? SMH, I'm trying to play 2k15. Hoping Evil Within delivers, have it preordered

 

[ScroogeMcBuckz]

I would suspect Drive Club. Free game+large file+ton of ppl downloading=network strain.

 

[Ricky D]

I don't even think the PS+ edition is up yet. I just bopped Dust: An Elysian Tale, Batman AA and Spelunky but didn't see DRIVECLUB

 

[sohoguy]

Drive club ain't free, where ya getting this info from?

 

[ScroogeMcBuckz]

PS+ version is, and I don't know if it's up I'm not home yet.

 

[mags on fire]

Is the free verison of Driveclub up on ps store yet?

 

[overdoz]
