Some new vids have just been posted up showing off the Luminous engine. The hair, lighting, materials... actually ...it's all just great!

This looks so impressive I thought it deserved its own thread. This is Squares new tech for the Next-Gen systems for those that don't know (ie PS4 / XBox720). These are from a tech demo they're showing off behind closed doors during E3: Source: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201206/06015843.html
One thing that's promising though is that they have shown this demo in real-time, being manipulated in Maya (I believe it was revealed the killzone 2 demo wasn't actually real-time).

Just remember it's a real-time render (they never even said it runs at an interactive framerate), and so it doesn't represent game quality. It does look bloody awesome, on the other hand.
