FFXV Windows Edition demo coming next week
- Thread starter Ishiro
- Start date
I'm going to guess that it probably won't. Maybe Square will do some kind of curated thing you could download right from the game but that seems like a lot of work for something that is only going to sell a few copies.
Eh, nah. It was neat, but felt more like a tech demo than anything. The most important thing in it was Carbuncle, and even that isn't very important.
This sounds like the Judgment Disc demo more than anything else, which is probably for the best.
They said it was a bug in the benchmark and it will be addressed in the final version:
I'm still baffled they never released that outside of the Japanese store...
steam gets gordon freeman, ms store gets free, cheap to buy items and a hacked sword and origin gets a decal of prompto to put in your car you barely use
they really made choosing where to buy your FFXV pc version easy here

I dread the thought of finding out how much I would need to spend to have all the games I play atleast somewhat regularly on a SSD, I'm currently running everything off a 2TB mechanical drive with a 2TB spare.
On the demo itself, I look fowrard to it! :D Hopefully it has a fully option-menu for graphics settings.
curious about this too. if anything, i'll just use it as a new benchmark.
Yeaaa cause if it doesnt I'll just download it to see how it runs and delete it. Dont want to play the same chapter again once the game officially comes out.
Someone with twitter ask them if the save will transfer :eyes:
MS also gets cross play and cross save with XBO version.
But Steam is the best choice since they'll get mods first.
The only way ff15 gets mods on the win 10 store is if its NOT uwp.
Hey Square Enix said those words not me. I don't know how they'll do it. All I know is that they're working on something with them on that.
Pretty sure the mods off Steam thing was a "there's gonna be mods we can't control and they'll be usable, just not easily browseable" Aka lewd mods.
Origin will be able to use the mods due to basically being the same thing, but each mod would need to be specifically created for the Win 10 version and that's not really gonna happen (and likely might not be able to happen)

depends on the mods. Minecraft W10 edition can use mods, just not the most complicated ones like shader packs. could be just a matter of having a specific folder to load them.
Really hoping they ironed out the performance bugs from the benchmark. It nearly turned me off of the PC version in general - the stuttering especially was ridiculous. I'm hoping to be able to use this as a way to decide whether or not I'll bother picking up this port.
Guess I'm hosed then. I could probably play it at 1080p, but I'd prefer 4K with HDR like the consoles.
I still need to decide whether to just get the Royal ugprade for my PS4 copy or start over with an XB1X replay. It sounds like the Royal Edition is going to transform several parts of the game from start to finish, which prompts a full replay.
If you had told me years ago that the only way we'd see an HD render of Gordon Freeman was in a FF game I wouldn't have believed you.......
Yeah you'd have to splurge a lot if you wanted to play it at better than console settings on PC.
SE still stuck in the 90's with these demos /smh
And I say this as a big fan of the franchise. They've still got some ancient relics up in the executive chain, that's for sure.

Same way as steam? This game has mod support by the developer and that's completely possible on the win store.
Ooo, as someone with an XB1 copy of the game, tempted by the windows store version for cross-save and multi with Xbox users...
Maybe the user thought the steam workshop was mandatory. Hell I doubt the best ones will even be uploded there, they'll be on Nexus or somewhere.
Yes, everything old is bad. FFS, Square is doing something other developers should do more often. It also gives pirates one less excuse to download the game illegally.
You're seriously complaining about a demo?
I mean really.
Just think about that for a second.
OH. MY. GOD. The Half-Life pack looks really cool, but the demo is wonderful news! Hopefully, more graphics tweaking will be present so we can get a better idea of how this thing will actually run!
I wonder if my pre-purchase from green man gaming will have the half-life suit... I kinda want it
It's only the first chapter in the demo so it's not going to be as spoilery as you might think. So the option is always there for sure.
But even so, the quote is about allowing the client to freely open mods from everywhere, so likely you throw them at one directory and the game applies the mod for mods outside steam workshop.
I'm asking how mods will work when you can't (easily) access, modify, and replace game files. There'd have to be a folder outside the game's directory to put the files in that the game would look through, something I can't think of real-world examples for.
They probably won't for the W10 version until actual modding tools come out sadly.
