Staring at a Garula's butt in first person does not look fun.

That being said, the rest is fucking drop dead gorgeous.

It's possible to think the game looks gorgeous while also thinking the first-person camera looks awful.

It's missing any wobble we've gotten used to. Any amount of shaking as the character moves would make it better. It's far too smooth. On top of that, I don't understand why it even exists. FFXV is one of the last games I'd think of that needs a first-person mode.

Weird how in this build of the game the Hairworks, Turfworks effects and Shadow Libs are incredibly evident, but not in the Benchmark that was released a few weeks ago (Garula Hairworks doesn't self shadow in the bench). How rushed was that thing?

The first person mode seems... not great. But options, even hackneyed ones, aren't a bad thing.

the FPS mode is not to actually play in guys. its just a more accurate photo mode without noctis getting in the way of the environmental screenshots

looks nice... one thing i did notice from that video... that i never noticed in the game before... Why does Prompto and Ignis walk animation look like they are sneaking everywhere? Gladio and Noctis walk just fine, while the other two look like they are suspicious and about to do something?

Gatari franchise. Its very cerebral and out there, going into various types of art styles, pov's and pushes the suggestive line(as that gif implies), but its a great franchise.

Now navigating it is probably as daunting as Type Moo if your not a veteran lmao
Eeeeh. Watching it in release order is completely fine. Also, never actually seen it referred to as just 'Gatari', even though it makes more sense than Monogatari for the series overall I guess.

Back on topic, the first person view still seems like such a stupid idea to me. Granted, I think the game is chock full of them, but like... How the fuck is any of this going to work when you're fighting a dozen things and all you can see is giant monster ass?

I was looking forward to first person mode but yeah, unfortunately it looks like its going to be more than a lil awkward in combat and the animations.

Thats a shame.

You'd think with how much they talk about the mouse and keyboard controls that they'd actually be using them in the video.

Still, I'm really looking forward to replaying this on PC. Really hope it doesn't disappoint, the benchmark seemed pointless.

By the looks of it I'll be struggling to run this at max 1080/60 in my 6600/1070. Looks pretty amazing though.

First Person mode looks very strange during combat. Like it's an glitch or something.

Don't understand why they even bothered with first person. Looks horrible.

That benchmark ran awful for me. I wonder if the final game will be even worse lol

Looks great. Reminds me of the footage from 2014 running on a dev pc:


We've come a long way.


It's really interesting, the IQ on that footage hasn't been seen since, but i'd say the actual game on console ended up ultimately looking better than this.

But even without the Nvidia upgrades, it's gonna be excellent to see the PC-quality assets and lighting restored on the PC version

They finally manage to land close to this build, wow. The PC version has more lush and dense foliage, which is wonderful, but it's still not touching the lighting from that 2014 walkthrough. Some shots looked like CGI at a glance.

It's a shame the Luminous Engine was so unoptimized, I really hope Square Enix fare much better with their next engine. FFXVI is going to look absolutely gorgeous.

My CPU is a 7700k, and others are nearly identical. It seems that my rig will be fine with it in 1080/60 with ultra and every Nvidia effects. Good!

It's terrible, I could see why having a first person mode for exploration but first person combat just doesn't work. It should just automatically switch to third person when in combat.

Man this looks good but my i7 2600k / 970 combo just aint gonna cut it.
The first person mode looks horrible, game is best enjoyed by watching boyband running around.

First Person would be interesting for exploring, but i would need an instant toggle to go back to third person for combat.

Just disable the Gameworks "features" and your machine will be fine that stuff usually tanks performance for very little gain and AMD cards like mine are SOL with it enabled anyway.

Yeah the 1st person mode looks like a mod rather than an actual feature. Still, nice to have it than not and the rest looks great.
