Blizzard CGI vs Square Enix CGI

Blizzard is probably ahead but I love me some SE CGI.

What is this about SE CGI not being relevant to the story? Lol, CGI is used to tell the story itself ...

yeah, no they dont

I dont even remember Starcrafts boring CGI cutscenes, i sure as hell remember Cloud vs sephiroth, and looking at youtube views, i think people agree with me, Cloud vs sephiroth wasnt even cgi

Ultizer

Final Fantasy 7 had the worst CGI out of all PS1 final fantasy games

and by the way, this cinematic was more epic then any CGI found in FF7 imo

in my opinion Final Fantasy 8 had the best CGI out of all the PS1 final fantasies, the intro was so epic

to be honest if there is anything to be offended about its the quality vs quantity argument. SE produces far more CGI and as this thread proves if they are second to anyone its only Blizzard, Its almost as if people are saying SE CGI is not quality. . . anyway, I remember when CGI was a treat, I wish it would go back to being that way.

From the screens provided I'd almost want to say Square Enix.

But in general definitely Blizzard. Some cutscenes in the original Starcraft look better than most new ones.

CGI is still a treat . It's rarely used in FFXIII.

Blizzard are better imo.Warcraft 3 CGI's are still brilliant today and Starcraft 2 CGI's are amazing.

Edit: plus the music in Blizzards CGI is much better than SE

I was talking about the industry as a whole really,

I cant believe people say blizzard

most people on system wars havent played the PS1 Final fantasys thats for sure

its much easier for blizzard to focus on one CGI trailer per 3 years than Sqaure to do about 30 per game

For everyone who played SC2, the answer is obvious, for the rest: check the vids, they are superior in every aspect. I do love the art style of SE though

Square Enix CGI is always "pretty" but I often find it just anime/pop crap (even though I like anime) including the final fantasy series, it often feels tacky, other than a few exceptions the emotion and "Epicness" is often left in the dust with music and sound effects, and voices.

Whereas Blizzard does less, they nail pretty much every one they do perfectly in every aspects.

Though I wish the Zeratul vs Kerrigan fight was longer.... bit dissapointed.

For me its been Blizzard since Diablo 2.

I would link SC2 CGI but it wouldnt be far for Square Enix lol.

Btw Blizzard /end of topic.

Yet, that moment brought the definition of "epic" ten levels up.

I needed to change my pants twice in less than a minute because of the "OMG!" feeling.

I like SE by all means, but they cannot match, I cant think of an FF CGI I found more impressive than Blizzards, it just doesnt happen! :P

squarrrrre

Blizzard by far.

They don´t even use mocap. That´s how good they are.

Thats is easily the best cinematic in the game.I watched it 5-6 times before I continued on with the missions :P

Gotta say my hat goes off to SE, but both are pretty much equal but SE's bredth of style as a larger company with different game/art styles is what wins me over. Hell Parasite Eve was one of the best looking games of it's time period.Jynxzor

They didn't do the CGI in PE1, but they did do the CGI in PE2.

As a reminder SE made CGI for Deus Ex 3 trailers :P don't bash something just because it has eastern style

IMO bot Blizz and SE are leaders in industry in this terms

I'm excited to see the CG in T3B, even though it's a PSP title.

Star Craft was 1998, right? I think the CGI in Xenogears was a little better, although infrequent and very short.

Blizzard and SE both makegreat scenes for sure... I'd say they are about on par with each other. At least, I think they are both enough in the same ballpark that it probably comes down to your preference of game. But SE cranks out that level of CGI far more often than Blizzard.

So SE. Sue me. :D

I´ve never seen Xenogears CGI,maybe you´re right.

[QUOTE="hakanakumono"]

[QUOTE="Arach666"] That trailer was probably the best CGI that I´ve seen coming from SE.

If I'm not mistaken, the picture quality in Starcraft also took a loss in quality due to 256 colors (indicated by the blotchyness of it).

They aren´t using the Parasite Eve name,that´s what got me confused.

[QUOTE="hakanakumono"]

[QUOTE="Arach666"] Yeah I know lol,I think it´s mainly due to the fact that it´s Deus Ex that got me so excited.:P Hmmm,what´s T3B?Arach666

I think they're withholding the PE3 name because they don't want to discourage people from trying it who weren't exposed to it before. A large portion of the PSP audience in Japan was probably too young for the original games.

Indeed,that looks a bit better...

[spoiler] ...but not as epic as Starcraft!:P [/spoiler]

Blizzard, though Square Enix does have some very impressive CGI.

Oh come now, it's Xenogears. You really ought to play it. ;)

Wait a minute, are we forgetting that CG movie Square Made, Spirits Within?

There is some suspicion that they lost the rights to the name. That and it's no longer about deviant mitochondria.

It´s going to be a bit hard to track it these days though,probably only online.

I buy practically everything online, unless it's new.

Xenogears manages to be pretty epic with dinky little PSX graphics (although they were well done).

At least that´s what wiki says.

Anyone else vote that the Warcraft Movie shoud just be a CG Movie done by the same peopel that do Blizzards CG stuff these days?
