Yeah, the game needs a little touch of color, easily done with reshade.

Well, it's a Japanese open world game from 2012. Graphically speaking, it was never going to be a technical showcase impressing PC gamers in 2016.Game looks fugly.
The game looks good enough for what it is.

Now imagine that looking worse and running like shit. Doesn't need to look amazing to be a huge improvement over the console version.

The game also looks way nicer when it's not overcast.
Whoa, leaking a cracked version of a preview copy you got for free is just another level of disrespect towards Capcom... What an ass. Well, atleast the take-away so far is that it runs very well huh? And maybe a first version of ENB will be out for the official release which would be neat.
For a game that came out in 2012, you are damn right I expect better than this. R* did way better and that game was 3 years old. Do not give me the excuse that they are a smaller dev team, or whatever other excuse. You have 3 years to remaster or spruce it up, this is abysmal. I know this game is a Neogaf darling, but excusing what I'm looking at is not happening. People need to call it out for what it is. Capcom is a big studio, they could have afforded to do something with this game. Using the excuse that it looked bad on last gen consoles, or that it somehow doesn't have to be at least graphically decent is terrible.

So... why are we even taking this screenshot so seriously when it has pretty much no AA whatsoever? Just look at the mountains. Nothing.
I'm not saying the game is a looker, but AA goes a long way.

Magic is fun and plays completely differently than melee classes. Try the hybrids too.
Dungeon design is hit or miss. Some are decent, BBI dungeons are pretty good, but a lot of recycled rooms, and honestly most of the dungeons follow a room -> corridor -> occasional stairs -> room pattern. Sometimes with wrapping around but not often. Don't expect Souls-level dungeon design sadly, but it's still better than most ARPGs.
i guess some ass-hat reviewer wanted to be "hero" for his friends

This is not a remaster though, it's a port. The game didn't sell that well to begin with so did you really think they would be committing a ton of resources to this? Also, just because it's been three years doesn't mean a team was working on the PC version the whole time. The timeframe to actually get this thing to a point where it could be released on PC was probably fairly small. Then, as MarcoZombieCannon pointed out, it seems like AA is missing from this screenshot so it'll look better than that. Lastly, what this game does really well is atmosphere, especially during night time even if it isn't a looker overall. This has nothing to do with finding excuses and more with realistic expectations.
Well my expectations in 2016 is something that doesn't look like it came out of 2006.
If you are going to port it, but at least put some effort into it, else it feels like robbery.
Are you for real?
Yeah so much better.

Well i can see effort in this port. Better dof, better textures, 4k support, up to 150 fps.

It's a $30 port with all the DLC and some touched up controls (hot keys!) and a lucrative preorder bonus. The game can be had for $22.50 on GMG right now and that's barely above MSRP for the original release.

Yeah I have no idea what he was expecting really. Completely redone graphics? LOL it's a port
It seems like it is a good port though. If you feel like 30 bucks for this is akin to a robbery then just wait until it's on sale or don't buy it at all. Again, you're expecting a remaster when this was always going to be a port.

To be fair, all the terminology abuse has sort of altered our perceptions. A lot of remasters are just ports, some ports are actually remasters, it's ridiculous.
Don't give me any of that reasonable common sense bullshit, i won't hear it!
Get the fuck out of here with that rational explanation, man.
It's not common sense to expect improved graphics from a port. If it were a remaster, I'd agree.

I think there's some retouched textures in the game. Like on the griffins and probably other creatures and armour.
Maybe they could have put some new post processing effects in the game, but it might have taken a bit of work with the old framework they had.
There'll undoubtedly be post processing injections anyway through things like reshade.
Regardless of graphics, the game is still worth the price I'd say. The gameplay is fun, soundtrack is excellent (really top notch) and the game comes with every single shred of DLC and content.

Actually, it looks like they are just using uncompressed versions of the original textures created. Not 100% sure on that though.
Also, it seems like they improved the lighting a little bit, I noticed the shading on some things such as the corners of buildings looks smoother than before.
Read my post in a snarky, annoying, sarcastic tone. (hence why the exclamation point)

It's not even bad looking! It was rough around the edges but it actually didn't look so bad, at least artistically.

Had some decent dynamic effects too. Some clothing physics, grass that sways with the wind and when you cast big spells, a rudimentary wetness shader. Not common for open world RPGs in 2012.

Seems steam users are embracing the game, it's number one in the top sellers list right now I see.
Well sure, I did, posts like your's there are usually used to imply that the poster's argument DOES make sense, not the opposite

Steam is saving Japanese gaming.
that's great news despite the leak ;-)
I guess the game has such a following that will sell like hotcakes no matter what
for real this game has capes on motherfucking capes (and a scarf or five)
and they're their own slot
that are physics enabled
ds2 bummed me out with that stuff when they added it cuz i thought it'd be like dragma but nope
real curious on how good i can get the game to look though, especially in action shots
seriously thank god they left in the ingame screenshot mode
thanks. so it won't be like the elder scrolls community which made some mind blowing mods (content and graphics wise).
