  1. Even with a fancy algorithm to "zoom enhance" you're still just upscaling shitty low-res images to less shitty high res images. They'll never look as good as taking the original 3D models and re-texturing and re-rendering them at a native resolution. My terminology might have been inaccurate but the context was not wrong.
  2. From what I understand, the source code for the original game was lost, which is why there this game went "ignored" for so long. They were probably able to take the game models and re-texture them based on old artwork, but the background scenes would've needed to be re-built from scratch and re-rendered, which would've not only been completely un-economical, but practically impossible. Yeah it looks like shit. And yeah, it's probably never going to look much better. Even that mod mentioned above was upscaling and painting over the original image. What would happen when the background used FMV is anyone's guess. FFVII looks like ass too. But everyone's been enjoying that assy looking game on multiple systems since it released so everybody's just kinda used to it by now.
  3. Playing Blair Witch and Bard's Tale IV right now.. will be playing Gears 5 on Friday.. and will check out Outer Worlds when it releases. Game Pass is so boss right now it's not even funny.
  4. Jank is kinda Bloober Team's forte. I liked Layers of Fear and i'm enjoying this one so far (i did get stuck on tree limbs though). But i do hope for their next game they try something a little different. Because all of their games are in the psychological horror genre, they all lack a certain cohesiveness. I always feel like i'm just walking around in circles.
  5. I played through Odyssey first, and trying to play Origins now. It's... been a pretty rough transition. The combat and stealth are sooo much more fun in Odyssey. Fighting on Origins is actually kind of a chore after being spoiled for 100 hours.
  6. So you won't know if you're sexing up a male or female until the clothes come off? I think CDPR just one-upped EA in the "surprise mechanics" department.
  7. Hey that's how I win most of my boss battles! I'll check it out at some point down the road. Maybe after a patch or two.
  8. I just watched a long ass rant by Angry Joe over this exact trailer. Bravo to 2K for going all-in on the exact thing that is the hot topic at the moment. I would almost think it was intentionally obtuse, but we all know that would require some form of self-awareness.
  9. I've been playing JRPG's since the NES, and while my description was exaggerated and sarcastic, it wasn't entirely inaccurate to the way some of them have gotten in the past two generations.
  10. Yay! Over-complicated battle systems and stat monitoring is way more fun than manually beating the shit out of someone. Can't wait for the 15-minute tutorial with five screens of text explaining what to do when the second meter to the bottom starts flashing at the same time as the icon in the upper left corner that lets you do the special move but only if your other two party members have 10% health and you manage to tap the X button when the moving arrow is in the green area of the power bar.
  11. This next gen will (should) be the first time I can buy a new console and not have a last gen / current gen console shelf, as the next gen will (should) play all the previous gen games.
  12. Dammit, I accidentally voted for Metal Gear Solid 4, thinking it was Metal Gear Solid 5. I played all the way through MGSV and I found it extremely average. There was a lot of repetitive gameplay that I felt would've been torn to shreds if it weren't called Metal Gear Solid.
  13. Well.. it does have PSS written on it. Oh, and I really hope both Sony and MS pass on the touch sensitive buttons this time around. MS changed to a physical, click-button and weirdly enough, it doesn't randomly turn itself on like my base XBO does.
  14. There was a game on Dreamcast called Carrier that was laughably atrocious in the v/o dept. It didnt help that the writing was also terrible.
  15. The cult is dead and medusa's a stain on kassandra's sword. I can put this one to bed with no regrets. I did this before going on vacation so unfortunately it'll probably be the only game i finish during Backlaugust.
  16. That's assuming MS didn't already try to buy them. And yeah, they made an exclusive for MS that was great and didn't sell very well. They were sitting in a great spot with Sony and would've continued to work closely with them. It's Sony's win for acquiring them, but i feel like they could've had their cake and ate it too by grabbing up a different indie dev and securing exclusivities from Insomniac for chump change.
  17. I don't have it, but i do believe the speed-up feature was included. I have FFXII and FFVII on XBO both have this feature as well.
  18. They paid for a studio that wouldve made exclusives for them anyway?
