Square Enix, the folks behind Final Fantasy, are working on a new game engine. And hot damn, it looks fantastic.
Recently, Square Enix showed a real time demo of the tech in action. In the above gallery, you can see how a pre-rendered version stacks up with a real-time version. This shows just how stunning the real time visuals are.
Also, in the above gallery, check out the real time renderings of a man’s face. Likewise, stunning.

I actually think the real-time shots look better. dunno what to make of that, though.
The depth of field is pretty high on the pre-rendered one so it looks blurry, also the real time one has cool little red particles floating around. There is also a lot of bloom on the light sources in the pre-rendered one I think it looks better on the candles and his armour.
GET READY FOR THE TERMINATORS. THEY ARE READY TO POTATO.
Have they been listening to GLaDOS again?
