Dodger Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Guess I'm not getting a Switch anytime soon. Last time I went to Walmart and just checked to see if they might have any they were out of PS4s and X1's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 How has GTA V not attained a 100% attach rate across platforms by now? How many months since it released has it NOT been among the top games on the NPD? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'm still on the fence about FF VII. It does actually look good, but I've got so many RPGs to play that I already own, it's hard for me to justify this one. I'm sure it'll go down to $20 soon enough and I'll pick it up and feel less guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you can disagree with "textures take forever to load in, hair has weird screen-door patterns and skyboxes, including skyboxes that the characters specifically draw attention to, look like early 2000s jpegs" but uhh, well, you can't really disagree with facts, now can you? Unless all that "looks great." Game is all over the place visually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokt Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 While a large majority of the game does look visually impressive. Xbob isn't wrong here. The most prominent are Cloud's apartment door looks completely unrendered and the horrible skybox they specifically have you look at while grappling up the wall. With many other small instances here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck there are some sections in the slums, I dunno when you're around those kids (I don't know what chapter) and the texture on the wall just doesn't load at all or just looks like low res butt.

crispy4000 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I’m half concerned that the skyboxes wouldn’t look any better on PC and would just stand out worse in 4K. It’s a solid looking game on PS4 Pro. 30fps 1440p but without frame pacing issues as DF noted. That’s more important to me than the occasional blemishes. It’s impressive that it doesn’t drop frames in most battle sequences. Okay, maybe fat chocobo does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff like skyboxes, I just don't care and barely know how to identify them, nor do I care to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 The thing is that I never had one problem during the stuff that actually mattered in the game. There’s pop-in sometimes walking around sector 6 and stuff but I never had any graphical limitations ruin the gameplay. Cut scenes were always nice.

crispy4000 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I thought the slum-level sky boxes worked out okay. The times where you looked down from the upper plates, or on the way to Shinra were... yikes. I don’t think it could be helped by better resolution. Heck it might even blend better on a 1080p set.
