The PC footage in question begins around the 1:45 mark in the video. And yep, that sure looks like Final Fantasy XV running on a PC with some rather lovely grass tech and lighting at work there.

Alan Wake 2 Review: A Must-Play Psychological Horror Experience
Easily, the best horror game in years.
In 2010 Remedy Entertainment released Alan Wake, a game where a writer is pulled into a horrifying world seemingly of his own creation. Alan Wake was a game that I bounced off at least two times. Despite the game being well received by critics and fans, I felt like its gameplay was just a repetitive slog that even its unique story could not overcome. When a sequel was announced by Remedy, I found myself extremely indifferent to the news. Still...

Review: Starfield
A safe, if not soulless, journey through the cosmos.
Bethesda Game Studios releases are safe. They are familiar. You know almost exactly what to expect when a major new release from them rolls around. They instill a feeling of "I know this game won't be groundbreaking, but I know I'll have fun." Yes, there are some obvious differences, but the heart of each Bethesda game is almost universally the same. The recent release of Starfield is no different. To put it bluntly: Starfield is Fall...

Auto Generate New Rally Stages in Dirt 4
This seems like a really cool addition to the Dirt franchise. Starting with Dirt 4, you will be able to have new rally stages generated for you. This should, in theory, provide a near limitless number of fresh tracks to both race on and share.
Codemasters and Koch Media are calling it "Your Stage" and with just a few button presses, you'll have your generated track all ready for you to play.
Your Stage allows you to produce a near infinite number of unique stages at... -

Developer Night Dive found that "Unity is not a great engine to use if you want to make an FPS on console." This is according to statements made to Polygon by game director Jason Fader at GDC.

According to PCGamesN, Tabata's special demo reel had a number of very familiar Final Fantasy XV characters running around through some fields. The demo utilized Nvidia's TurfEffects that allowed for the scene to render 100 million blades of grass that properly reacted to the characters running through them. It also showed off Nvidia's new fluid dynamics and fur that is part of their Gameworks systems. ... -
