Why do Square Enix not wanna use the Luminous Engine for anything outside of Final Fantasy XV? The Final Fantasy VII remake and Kingdom Hearts 3 would probably look better using it but they use Unreal 4 instead.

Hasn't it been reported a few times that the Luminous engine is a bitch to work with, and not worth the effort?
>>330799672
because unreal 4 is better

because you are retarded. Until do a bit of research before making retarded threads.
Luminous engine is still in development, and it is being developed alongside XV. The dev team of Luminous is part of the FFXV dev team.
so
1) The engine is still not complete and the development team is working on it at the same time as XV, so it would be impossible to send the team work on KH3 or FF7R.
2) They never, never said that Luminous will only be used for FFXV. Only that Luminous is being used for XV and it will only be used for XV until XVs development is over.
>>330799672
IIRC they only have one team trained to use it.

While you may indeed be correct, this will not stop OP from being a knee-jerk reaction faggot who doesn't think anything through.
The real crime is the Fox Engine.

I was under the impression the engine was had finished development around 2013.S-Sorry.

If you killed yourself this world would be a better place.

>i have no idea how game development works
okay anon, theres a thing called money and investments and if it costs more/time to to develop using the luminious engine and unreal is a cheapr better alternative then there you go
>sony
Is your head full of hot air?
Because it's not a particularly good engine and is optimized like shit.
Even that one scene with the witch that looks really good required 4 Titan Xs to run at 1080p30.

I ain't gonna deny the last part but I'll link the article I saw it from when I find it. It was an IGN interview with an SE rep and dated July 2013.
Give me a moment.
Why are the japs so fucking retarded? Deep Down, FFXV, MGSV, all games with disastrous development cycles, built on poor-quality in-house engines which will never be used for other games. I am amazed at what a colossal and tragic waste of manpower, talent and money they have all proven to be, producing something that has a subset of the functionality of off-the-shelf engines in 2015.

I wouldn't be surprised if fucking Lumberyard is a more competent engine than most Jap engines.
>>330799672
Of you followed the development you would know it's because luminous is unfinished and they are making it alongside XV, this is a standard practice to make a game engine alongside a game to prove that engine, so once XV is done then so will Luminous, and SE already said that they have other games planned to use Luminous but just that XV will be the first
The reason why 7R and KH3 aren't using it is because of that and because all Luminous devs are currently on the XV team too, business division 2 is the advanced technology department of SE and that is the division making XV
KH3 is business division 3and 7R is business division 1

Because they made that demo look insanely good for the heck of it, that chick's hair alone has way more polygons than any screen of XV will ever have
>>330803432
>that chick's hair alone has way more polygons than any screen of XV will ever have
It certainly didn't look like it, her hair looked about on par with pic related.
>>330803542
>59 fps
reeee

>>330803729
Immediately you can see the "squareness" of the stray hairs in the far cry one while the witch looks smooth
Not that it matters, no game will be using models like that anytime soon, her hair got 6 million polygons while a full XV frame has 5
>>330801340
Japan's development practice of building an engine from the ground up is why their games take so fucking long to make.

Because it's been 11 years of development hell and we're only sitting one rumours of a release date.
They announced the ff7 remake and the following year is announcing that it's readying completion. Luminous engine is gorgeous and a technical masterpiece but I don't think they quite know how to use it efficiently yet.
