Why does no one comment on the cutscene quality, even though multiple people already asked?

 

[timshundo]

AHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Nethaniah]

This is so confusing to read. Isn't 60 FPS a good thing? Did it matter what the initial resolution was since everyone knows Durante can unlock it later? Geez.

How do you change resolutions in a game that has NO option for it though.

 

[artsi]

Good.

Based Durante. Please help us.

 

[Dead Prince]

Yo what the fuck. Pushing escape just straight up exits the game immediately.

lolwut.

 

[littlebabygiraffelegs]

I remember durante saying the framework for DS was written a week and a half before release. I don't think we're gonna see anything in a day, guys.

 

[Zexen]

No, 30 fps during cutscenes, but the pause screen is 60fps so the framerates jump. I'm 60fps locked during a battle with a GTX660 (well it is 720p only).

Also no xbox controller icons.

I have the icons personnally. ABXY START BACK The Triggers, they're all showed up.

 

[The Last One]

button icons are there, have to turn them on in the settings.

There are icons for the dualshock? ARR got them.

 

[Yoshichan]

I'm just luing down here

I dont even know what to do anymore

Doesnt help that ot says 1 hour to go

So tired of this and all the lies

 

[Mohasus]

Is it playstation icons?

Keyboard only.

I have the icons personnally. ABXY START BACK The Triggers, they're all showed up.

Hm, I'm using an Xbox One controller. Maybe that's why it doesn't work for me.

edit: I said that cutscenes were 30fps before but now they are 60fps.

 

[vio]

What makes it possible for Durante to fix certain games, but not others?

I hope FFXIII falls in to the former camp.

Different engines.

 

[Caayn]

So 50%+ bigger than the PS3 version and not a single graphical option insight? What the hell SE.

My copy is still unlocking

 

[Gbraga]

Good.

IT'S HAPPENING

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

It's crazy how The Last Remnant got an enhanced PC port, but S-E cheaped out on FF13.

Sheesh.

 

[munchie64]

We have prayed and Durante has answered. The game is downloading. I'm off to bed a happy man.

 

[GavinUK86]

I have the icons personnally. ABXY START BACK The Triggers, they're all showed up.

I can't see, that screenshot is too low res.

Spoiler

too soon?

 

[Goldenhen]

Why does no one comment on the cutscene quality, even though multiple people already asked?

Well the resolution is locked at 720p and assuming the video is 720p. The cutscene quality seem to be same as PS3 imo.

 

[Thorgal]

Good.

Durante
I'm taking it FROM here,
so says Mr. Stewart
And the goddess.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Yo what the fuck. Pushing escape just straight up exits the game immediately.

Bwhahahha

 

[Inuhanyou]

Just an FYI, you can probably buy both PS3/360 versions for cheaper than the windows port.

I would actually recommend this.

To be fair to SE though, FF13-2 and LR don't use pre-rendered cutscenes all that much, 99% of them are in real time. So when they bring those out, you'll probably be able to have your 60fps and higher resolutions.

But for this game specifically, it was always going to be an impossibility.

 

[Robin64]

Ew, the hair up close.

 

[Shahadan]

Fuck dquare enoz

I actually spat my drink.
Like, really.
Like, you owe me a new wii u gamepad.

 

[zbarron]

Good.

Even if you can't get it I'd like to personally thank you for at least trying. That's certainly more than Square Enix did.

It's a sad time in PC gaming when we have to be concerned that a high profile port of an almost 5 year old game will have basic PC functionality that's been standard for over decade. It's worse when our fears are confirmed.

 

[xBladeM6x]

I have the icons personnally. ABXY START BACK The Triggers, they're all showed up.

Thank Christ. I'm back on board, as long as

Spoiler

Durante can work his magic.

 

[JudgmentJay]

Dat lack of AF.

 

[Melchior]

I'll definitely pick this up if Durante (King Midas) touches the game.

 

[Durante]

What makes it possible for Durante to fix certain games, but not others?

Time, mostly. The effort required to do something like this varies massively with how the game was written.

I really can't say if this would be a 2-days-fix or a 2-years-fix (and thus, in practice, no fix at all) or anything in between until I get at least 2 hours to look at what it does. And yes, I like using the number 2 if I need an arbitrary quantity

I'm still unpacking for 25 minutes, so I'll have a shower now and then I'll have a look.

 

[Frumix]

I'm seriously scared they'll slack on the DLC in the sequels now.
Although the port does have the Japanese difficulty update so ehhhhhh

 

[Zafir]

You can change the button icons in the settings no?

 

[Stereogatari]

Different engines.

Thanks.

Since the game isn't native 1080p does that mean Square haven't touched up the textures, like they have done with other remasters? Or is that neither here nor there when it comes to the resolution they've locked the game to?

Also to those who are playing and have extensive experience with the console games, how good does the fps increase look and can you notice anything else that has been improved?

Thanks for the reply and hard work you've put in. I've never had a gaming PC myself, but people like you market the platform well .

 

[MayMay]

So they're not full of compression artifacts?

 

[Kagari]

Sheesh.

Pretty sure this release only happened because SE cheaply ported them for their Japanese streaming service. This is an obvious cash-in.

 

[Skyzard]

Good.

YUSSSS

^ All of this, thank you very much.

 

[shark sandwich]

Preload cancelled.

 

[Nethaniah]

How are people skipping cutscenes? Also the first opening cutscene at the mountain part looked really weird when the camera moved.

 

[Yoshichan]

Durante

I beg u

I pay u man quick

 

[Dragonborn]

Well, after DR3 and this I have learned my lesson, never preordering on PC again

 

[PfantzyPantz]

STANDING
ON THE EDGE

but yeah, I'm hurt dawgs. Those screenshots look so good, but they could look so much better...
Durante, you're our only hope ;_;
FIGHT FATE

 

[Zexen]

Keyboard only.


Hm, I'm using an Xbox One controller. Maybe that's why it doesn't work for me.

I'm using an XOne controller too, weird.

 

[Sentenza]

This is me right now:

To add insult to the injury, I bought the game on Nuveem and they are apparently out of keys right now so I'll have to wait to check this mess.

Thanks. Gotta love incompetent companies.

 

[jett]

This game is sum ugly.

 

[Yoshichan]

that's it

i'm out of here

i'm done

 

[Toth]

God the game looks so gorgeous and it's like 4 years old. What an incredible graphical achievement of the day.

BTW I see the FPS is consistently high in the screenies. Isn't the shoddy FPS the main issue of FFXIII-2 and LR? This should be a good sign for those two.

 

[Durante]

[screenshots]

At least force AF man

 

[R1CHO]

Dat Aliasing.

Dat Resolution.

Dat Filtering.

 

[inky]

Yo what the fuck. Pushing escape just straight up exits the game immediately.

They know their game is so shitty they are giving you the option to literally ESCAPE.

For one I approve. Good job, SE.

 

[Kagari]

This game is sum ugly.

I feel like the PS3 one looked somewhat better. Maybe.

 

[Goldenhen]

So they're not full of compression artifacts?

I looked very hard for those compression artifacts but haven't pick up any. I only played PS3 version not the 360 version.
