[Ash]

We need a simp button

 

[Sykar]

Considering that apart from that one video I have not continued to watch any other content from her nor have I ever given her or any other woman on any video platform or anywhere else money so I fail to see how linking this makes me a simp.

will there ever be a soundtrack on this level in a video game ever again

This one's Epic Store exclusive.

 

[LESS T_T]

Yeah, on December 16.

Actually I wonder. The leaked date from Nvidia GFNow was June, 2022. Maybe this is 6-month exclusive instead of 1-year one, and is coming to Steam in June.

Why wait? EGS has a shopping cart now!

Remake? Don't you mean "fanfiction"?
That last minute change to the ending was absolute shit. At least it won't have Denuvo... Right???

 

[Tyrr]

The PC version most people will play, will not have it...

80,- € for basically a third of the original game.

That really takes the cake.

What a bunch of greedy bastards.

2 years after the original console release as well. Just for fun, I took a look at the physical PS5 price on Amazon and yeah, it's significantly cheaper than to buy this digitally on EGS. And it'll launch full-price again on Steam in a year's time.

Anyone buying this is a fool, leave SquareEnix to their phantom audience on EGS.

 

[Alter Sack]

I am normally not someone condoning software piracy.

But considering this rip-off price, pirating even seems like the moral thing to do.

 

[Bahamut]

Supposedly the port is pretty barebones, so 80€ is even more ridiculous

on the bright side theres no denuvo

The port is getting high praise for its optimization, but I noticed it's because the fps cap setting is also functioning as a resolution scaler. I could tell when playing at 4K/120hz, the game was much blurrier compared to 1440p/120hz which means it was downscaling to maintain 120 fps.

Shenmue 3 is free-to-keep right now on epic store

So yeah, turns out the game's VRAM management is fucked. Even people with 8gb plus VRAM are experiencing the hiccups and stutters when running around. Someone submitted a note to the PC Gaming Wiki about it:

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_Remake_Intergrade

Issues unresolved • Link[edit]
Heavy FPS drops • Link[edit]
The game can drop fps from 120 to bellow 30 fps when texture settings is set to high on a GPU with 8gb or less VRAM. This may be caused by bad VRAM management as the issue is solved by altering between low and high settings that will force a VRAM flush. A patch to fix this is expected but with no word from the developers about the issue at the time of this edit.

A video example:


Those always happen in the same areas, and are 100% reproduceable. Depending on the area, you can't go for a few steps without some sort of asset streaming or VRAM-related stutter.

Currently the only way to play the game (mostly) stutter-free is to use the 'Low' textures, which are equivalent to the original PS4 game's assets, and even then you'll still need at least 6gb of VRAM to be stutter-free, even with the 'Low' assets.

Only hope right now is that Square fixes the VRAM management via patch, but I doubt that'll happen... otherwise just gotta play the game with the PS4 settings. It's still a gorgeous game anyway, but I really wanted to use the new textures they made :/

 

[Alter Sack]

Well, Square really seems to hate poorfags.

First they sell an episode for a staggering 80,- € and now you even have to buy a new gpu with over 8GB of Vram to play the game without issues.

 

[Villagkouras]

I've played this thing on my PS4 which sounds like an airplane from all these years. It was the most quiet game in a while and I thought that they did an excellent job in optimization.

Shader compilation works differently on PC/DirectX, so it doesn't matter whether the console version was "optimized" or not, and PS4 hardware handles it uniquely to boot, which is why Horizon Zero Dawn had so many issues when ported to PC; HZD used a lot of unique PS4 functions that were not emulated correctly when ported to PC.

I figure even if you want it, wait for the customary Squenix 50-80% price drop post release as well as whatever patching they're going to do. I refuse to normalize the price bump they're trying to push on this game or Forspoken. Luckily for me, I'm not overly interested in either to begin with, but even if I was...

 

[kalganoat]

Holy shit this game is padded AF.

 

[GhostCow]

Every time I'm reminded that this game exists I get so angry thinking about what could have been and how many fucking retards are encouraging Square to make more bullshit like this by giving it good reviews. I hate this game more than Ontopoly hates Larian.

 

[Ash]

Clown world my friend.

 

[Duraframe300]

Holy shit this game is padded AF.

I mean thats the least surprising aspect of this game.

Anyone with half a brain could have figured this out when they decided to only make this game contain Midgard. A section of the original game that, while memorable, was probably 1/10 at best of its length.

Of course there were a million genuisses that sucked off Square Enix on this decision, but that’s just something I’ll never get.

Not expected this to fall straight into fanfic theory right after reactor blowup with all ghost things and something that appears like time traveling sephiroth. Still game kinda works when it comes to original scenes, that sometimes feel like original but bit more fleshed out. Feels more like fan a service game, not a 'true' remake
