I feel like we’re only a year or two away from announcing a game and its remaster at the same time.
That PS5 version looks like shit. I own the original and it’s a lot of fun. What the fuck up with the lighting?
How tf did they think a PS3 era piss-filter would improve things?
There is so much you could absolutely tear into, what the hell do they think they are doing?
I know the fan mod project for FF8 is jokingly named Demaster in protest of the official remaster, but I never thought a large company would release an honest to god demake of a game - and charge you for it!
I liked the FF8 remaster. The field models are just field models. It’s not like they look like the FMV cutscene character models on the original either. They’re just so distorted that you have to imagine the FMV characters.
Editing out Siren’s bush was a sin though.
Edit: Oh, and getting rid of vibration. I had forgot about that until just now. That was 100% the worst part of the remaster. I hope they’re fixing that, because otherwise what’s the point in the demaster?
Edit 2: Also losing omnidirectional movement since it’s based on the PC port. Same reason there’s no vibration.
I haven’t played it, but the trailers I’ve seen were night and day better than the original.
I played a few hours on PC yesterday and if somebody is saying it looks worse than the PS4 version I’m questioning their sanity.
On the other hand, raytracing, HDR and frame generation are all completely broken and it is a disgrace to charge 70 bucks for a remake of a 9 year old game and not even do basic QA on their PC port. You also need a PSN account to play your singleplayer game.
