Developer Square Enix is really aiming to perfect its highly-anticipated and much-awaited role-playing video game “Final Fantasy XV.”
While the trailer and gameplay demo of “Final Fantasy XV” already released showed how improved and remarkable the quality of the graphics of the video game for the next-gen gaming consoles is compared to its predecessors, the developer still wants to finetune it all the more.
Apparently, Square Enix will be using the graphics technology called Luminous Studio to further up the graphics quality some notches higher. The technology allows for 8K by 8K textures and resolution that gives very sharp images since it features 63 million polygons per scene, details Venture Capital Post.
As a new graphics technology, Luminous Studio was presented and discussed by Polygon during the Microsoft Build Developers Conference held last week while running on DirectX 12 for Windows.
New launching date
With the adoption of the Luminous Technology on “Final Fantasy XV,” Square Enix had no other choice but to defer the official launching of the video game from being held supposedly at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2015 to be held in Los Angeles, California on June 6 to 8 to the Gamescon 2015 event to be held on August 5 to 9 in Cologne, Germany.
Hajime Tabata, game director of “Final Fantasy XV,” confirmed the deferment of the launching of the video game when he recently stated that E3 2015 does not give them sufficient time to fully prepare and release the game.
He disclosed that he has been talking with the marketing teams of Square Enix and they have all come to the consensus that they target instead Gamescon 2015 as the possible launching date for “Final Fantasy XV.”
Although “Final Fantasy XV” will be totally off in the upcoming E3 2015, Square Enix will still be present in the event as the developer still has other titles that it intends to reveal during the event including “Deus Ex,” “Hitman,” and Lara Croft’s “Rise of the Tomb Raider.”
Tabata also disclosed that after Gamescon 2015, Square Enix would continue divulging more details about “Final Fantasy XV” in subsequent events including the PAX Prime to be held in September in North America and subsequently the TGS event in Japan also during the same month.
Open to gamer feedbacks
Square Enix, released the gameplay demo of “Final Fantasy XV” called “Episode Duscae” on March 17 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
While the developer has yet to formally announce the release of “Final Fantasy XV” on the next-gen gaming consoles, Square Enix said that the end is already in sight, which means that it will finally come to fruition very soon.
