Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: Re: Yes, pre-rendered cinemas have a lot to do with game engine tech you retard

[quote name="Zsenitan"][quote name="Entopy Stew"]A friend of mine got FF7 for the PC. His vastly-more-powerful-than-a-PS1 video card made the engine look like Lego Final Fantasy due to the almost complete lack of facial detail. The face you fight at the end of Star Fox had more polys. Fucking Miis look more realistic. -/ES/-[/quote] I don't understand why people are having a problem with this point. I'm not talking about game engines, I'm talking about emotional involvement. Dude was trying to pull "nobody gets emotionally involved in games like they do with movies" and I am straight up demonstrating that they certainly fucking do get emotionally involved with games like they do with movies, and I will show you an entire roster of RP Sephiroths that pre-date Advent Children to prove it, and it has nothing to do with exquisite in-game visuals. If you REALLY wanted to argue this point, you should say "but Zseni FF7's graphics were kind of groundbreaking at the time, so this situation is more congruous to Robert's contention than you'd like to think." But instead everyone wants to talk about how Sephiroth is gay. Fucking fine.[/quote]
