Lloyd: …Here, it's the Symphonia remaster.

Colette: Thanks.

Lloyd: Cinematic, isn't it?

Colette: Yeah. Really cinematic.

Lloyd: It's actually 60fps.

Colette: …What?

Lloyd: I had Namco Romania make it as smooth as the original.

Colette: Oh, hehe, yeah, of course it's 60fps.

Lloyd: I lied. It's actually 30fps.

"""Remastered"""

Has there been any other modern port that runs at half the framerate of the original? Can't think of any.

Tales of Symphonia is one of my all time favorite games, but these remasters have some of the most disappointing remasters in gaming history. The game deserves so much better. Bamco is either cheap or incompetent.

I could just emulate the Gamecube-Version on my Series X and this would be far superior @ 4k/60.

 

[STARSBarry]

Collectors edition better come with this.

The PS2 version broke 60fps support beyond repair. Any port derived from the PS2 engine will never be 60fps, it's the way it is.

 

[Celcius]

If they can remaster both the original and the sequel for the ps3 remaster, they should be able to offer both the GameCube and ps2 version on a single disc for this new remaster. Then let people choose, since apparently they don't have the original source code or the technical competence.

 

[Shifty1897]

My first GameCube game. I played the crap out of this back in 2004 though, not sure I feel like going back to play it again, especially since those graphics haven't aged well and it's 30 fps.

 

[DavJay]

Couldn't they package abyss with this?

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

1. What is that steelbook
2. Kinda random how DotNW isn't included
3. I've played the PS3 version. 30 fps feels so much worse, the shading is worse, and I want my orchestrated opening!

I'll just repurchase for the GameCube. The only thing I really care about missing from this version will be the 2 anime cutscenes that were added but they're like 15 seconds each anyways

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

Sounds like I'll be emulating the GameCube version instead

I still remember the utter bewilderment I had at that scene the first time lol

It's 5D chess.

A Wii would be your best option. I'm not sure about the state of Gamecube emulation.

Dolphin (wii/gcn emulator) is actually pretty damn good these days. Was playing Metroid Prime 1 the other night at 4x resolution with only a few stutters here and there.

 

[kiphalfton]

And this is why dolphin and pcsx2 are a godsend.

Have you turned on Ubershaders? That should resolve it.

 

[darrylgorn]

1080p and 30fps?

Make it 4K / 15fps you frame rate whores.

 

[adamsapple]

New story trailer, with an option to watch at 1080p/60 FPS.

While the game itself will be 30 FPS.

You can't make this shit up.

Why does this game look exactly the same as my PS3 "remaster" cost more and not include the second game in the series?

Because it's a very low effort cash grab relying on nostalgia.

 

[Esppiral]

I'd replay the superior GameCube versión at 60fps and 4k on my Xbox, thanks.

Greed, laziness, incompetence.
