FF8 Remaster Sucks

youtube.com/watch?v=Ch_xNzDk6aY

tl;dw:
- All original backgrounds and FMVs only have smoothing filter, no additional work done.
- 3D elements mapping (world map etc) gets no treatment, only some texture filtering.
- The gap in models and backgrounds is more obvious compared to FFVII remaster
- All console versions are running a de compiled version of the original PC version.
- No analog controls. Only 8 directional control. PS1 original had full 360* control.
- No rumble present either.
- Performance: Original PS1: 30 FPS in world, 15 FPS in battles w/ 60 FPS menus (for limit breaks)
- Remaster: World = 30 FPS, battles = 16 FPS but menus also update at 16 FPS now which makes it difficult to do limit breaks and causes input delays.
- Overall performance is *worse* than PS1 because of the above

Based french fries dabbing on nostalgia babies.

Can they even use it for profit?

it's more the fault of the company they outsourced the remaster to but SE are still shit

I mean, use the software/a.i programming for profit? Is it open source?

No it's the state of the company and its priorities

no
fuck you

Accept the truth and be released from your slumber of mind

Did they even play test the remaster? Square remasters have always been shit. But they do fix it after some time. I'm quite shocked at how and why did they hire that studio in the first place. Do they even realize how fucking wasteful is it to first hire a studio to do your job and then having to fix the problem later. Why can't they hire a competent studio, and release a good remaster and be done with it the first time. It still boggles my mind how fucking retarded their business decision sometimes.

Yes. Even if it wasn't legal who the fuck would know it was used. Then even if they were caught I doubt some random fuck is going to want to challenge squenix in court that some grass .jpegs look similar and just paying whatever fine is likely cheaper than what they had spent on the game to begin with.

Is there even a good FF game at all? Every one I've ever tried is boring and retarded.

The only hope is the dude who made the new threat mod for ff7 to create something similar for this. And from what I've seen, he will.

soul vs soulless

FF8 sucks and always did the remaster is just keeping the tradition alive

Anyone with any sense and who wants to play this will just emulate the original and play a game made by a competent team who actually had standards and not this shitty '''''''''''''remaster'''''''''''' shat out by a bunch of money hungry gook jews

looks like a fucking n64 smudgefest, wtf!

The vast majority of Square-Enix's remasters are terrible. Even the "good" ones still have tons of little problems. e.g. KH1 is missing sound effects and fucked up the triangle button.

Nice. I have played Suikoden from that list, but I don't really play RPGs that much in general. I thought it was pretty decent and the music was nice. FF has nice music too.
It just seems every time I try a FF game I cannot get into it. The story and characters seem very one dimensional.
I was though. I just don't find anything about the FF games I have tried to be engaging besides maybe the combat. But I don't get the depth of the story, because it seems a mile wide but an inch deep.

Didn't the 1.5 remaster on the PS4 got some physics problem? IIRC it's something related to the fps boost for the PS4 since the old PS2 game is only 30fps.

It was only made so they could censor it

I honestly thought they'd at least feed the backgrounds to the upscaling AI. This is worse. This is so much worse.

>make a remaster
>don't remaster anything
>remove boobs and bush

nice

It did at release but I think most of them were fixed.

remasters are shit. news at 11.

i wonder why remasters aren't universally shunned by Yea Forums.

Unironically you should only play FFVII, FFX, and FFT.

>MUH BUSH GOT REMOVED!! OUTRAGE!! GAMERS RISE UP!!! CENSORSHIP!! CENSORSHIP!! WHAT'S THAT, A FAGGOT? REMOVE HIM!! REEEEEEEEE!!

how can you write shit like this and not feel embarrassed

I mean considering how half-assed the remaster is, it is bizarre that they went out of their way to change Siren. Totally fucked priorities.

How do people whinge about a summon getting less sexy and not feel embarrassed? Mind you this is the board that doesn't know how breasts work and tried to shout down anybody with an opinion short of "seething hatred" of Tifa's undershirt in the FF7 remaster for months.

censorship is bad, and you should feel bad for defending it

I'm not going to get mad about changes that nobody's going to even remember in three months, now that it released. It's not censored enough for anybody to give more of a shit than bringing it up off-hand in a thread directly about the remaster or in other Final Fantasy threads.

You never noticed because the models were all so janky and low res

who fucking cares ff8 is bottom tier trash as bad as ff4

It's almost as though the game was built with the technology in mind, and the people who make these remasters are lazy hacks working for peanuts.

I can't fathom why most companies put zero effort into remasters. Do enough retarded people actually buy it to make it worth any negative comparisons?

Yes.
Most people don't do the research.

Nice, I like Suikoden 3.
Need to add Xenogears, Star Ocean, Chrono Nigger, Vargant Story, Legend of Dragoon, Parasite Eve 1 unironically my favorite jrpg, Front Mission 3-5 I know it is a tacticool strategy but it has a jrpg feel., Grandia, Skies of Arcadia, Secret of Mana, Wild Arms, Nippon Ichi games.

couldn't care less

tl;dr: the new models are nice but someone just needs to release a mod to remove the background filter because it looks like shit

They're obviously altering textures so why didn't anyone notice this and tweak it? This is literally just "put them through AI uprez machine" shit.

Consumers are generally dumb. Population is so huge companies can shit out anything and a large percentage will buy it, given enough marketing. Sadly, the only way to stem this is by becoming a smarter consumer yourself. If everyone started doing this, companies will wisen up.

ay dios mio

Also that shit I see in Steam all the time where anime girls are game consoles personified.

I think they were done with the background textures when the AI breakthrough happened. Incidentally, even FF8 doesn't have a mod project involving it yet. It's all FF7 for now.

Anyone got that HD remake image with the cats?
You know the one.

It ain't about the skirts and bushes and shit. It's about censorship and not giving them an inch. When they'll censor something you actually care about it'll be too late to cry about it.

And FF9 to a degree.

Both 5 and 6 android port look notoriously like shit. Which is weird because they also cleaned up FFT sprites/portraits and no one complained about those. They just fucked up the art direction in the previous two.

You guys are retarded brainlets.
It's a remaster not a remake.
That means they can't do shit about rendering.
Guess what happens when you have an extremely old rendering system for your over world but updated graphics?
All they can do is smooth the hard edges.
Why are Yea Forumstards so brain dead?

Here's a perfect example,
Keep eating shit senpai, you're taking one for the team.

It's a problem when you have 2D and 3D assets in unison. Grandia HD also got hit with obviously just filtered sprites emulator users would scoff at.

The worst thing is the lag in battle menu.
So many misses on Renzokuken ffs

I can get not caring, I really can. But why would you ever defend it or lash out at someone bothered by it?
Censorship objectively sucks, something was there before and now it's gone. There's no reason to be happy about this.

>obviously altering textures
It's rendering.
They rendered the over world differently than the locations because it was more intensive on the hardware and they needed to save resources to get it to run.
That means they would need to completely remake the game to change how the over world renders.
Geez you guys aren't even trying to understand what you are talking about.
The reason why you recognize the difference between 2D and 3D assets is because as I said above.
You are talking about a game that was never intended to be updated.
Then they realized that some features are going to clash because of how the game was originally programmed.

What is teacher stranger danger supposed to be?

I don't think video-game censorship is ever going to go full North Korea like that.

>dat feel when Romancing SaGa 2 release has been a joy to play

I like the fact it's all so beautifully visually consistent with nothing jarringly standing out. I guess 2D really don't crack.

Get Hype

They can't do shit about rendering so they somehow put 3D models with 5 times the polygons. Weew. Nigga you know that you can port assets to different engines, or like, update them so they aren't outdated shit? Like damn, why are those who are calling the whole thread dumb are usually dumb motherfuckers?

the worst offender is definitely the ''remaster'' not having the battle menu and renzokuken input in 60fps like the PS1 original had

I wonder if people are expecting the same generational play from 3 they got in 2.

user it is in fact a remake in a literal sense, they lost the source code so they had to recreate the game using a retail copy. That's why it took so much longer than VII and IX.

It's just that they only bothered to totally redo certain assets (like party members and summons) while putting other assets through a cheap filter.

aww fuck, look at that loss of detail. not to mention fucking SHADOWS.

North Korea still fucking happened. And people allowed it to. It's not gonna be so strict with game censorship, but it WILL get worse if you allow it to.

God damn it, and here I was looking forward to it.

The original looks way better. Hilarious.

Wait, did they actually LOSE ASSETS? oh dear oh dear, no wonder it turned out like this then.

They lost the underlying source code, that's not the same thing as the graphical assets. The assets could just be ripped from a retail copy.

Capcom got caught with their arcade stick console having a freeware emulator and had to delay it

That's not at all surprising for some reason. Storage was expensive and studios routinely erased and re-wrote tapes they used to store shit on back in the day. No one considered remakes later down the road.

lol yeah keep telling yourself that
i like the new models and i'll just wait for a mod to fix the backgrounds
even on the remaster it's incredibly easy

They also lost the source assets. That is, the high resolution background images that were downscaled for PS1.

PS Classic uses PCSX ReARMed, it's fine if you actually license it. But greedy faggots don't pay their taxes so the concept of actually paying for licenses is probably foreign to them.

"cope, i'll be waiting for people to unfuck it like a normal person" lol

>limit break timing window is now like 15 frames instead of 30
this is actually a welcome change, although you still have to have a brain deficiency to miss a 15 frame window

It's their best FF remaster to date.
Also this is a remaster, not a remake.

Also you're just sperging a parrot, who cares? I'll be getting it anyway since my OC disc is busted after years of lending it to people and my younger brother fucking with the discs.

literally the only thing i don't like is the background filter and i think the new models look great and outweigh the filter issue.

Is FF7 the only remaster that came out somehow unscathed from all this bullshit?

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=391096600

Why one one just use these?

Doctor Who has a ton of serials with some only having audio and screenshots.
They've been experimenting with reconstructing them the last couple years.
youtu.be/t0q5sQ6MyjQ

That came out a long while ago, PS4 version's just a port of the PC remaster.

>It's almost as though
what do you hope to accomplish by starting a sentence off this way?

*ton of missing serials

FF7 is a straight port, the others tried to do a lot of fancy bullshit that ended up ruining everything.

>I don't know what rendering means
That's not how front end and back end programming works.
If they used a retail version then they could still take all the data but they wouldn't be able to change any processing that is programmed in the back end.

Like I said Yea Forums is retarded and doesn't even know how their favorite hobby works on a technical level.

It doesn't even cost anything to license it.

Attached: 1562470899597.png (1762x972, 1.57M)

I agree, we already know that cross-dressing section in FF7 is gone for certain. Which is shit, because ffs, we just can't have anything with a slight edge to it anymore.

The FF7 port still has the same problem of not having 60fps menus in the battles. It makes them slower.

Hopefully this isn't a serious post, because that would mean you're brain damaged.

The remake that's coming, not the port. Meant to clarify.

I was SO close to buying this the other day. I'm glad I came here to see threads like this before I did. Fuck Squeenix.

>the battle model now looks like the FMV model
why is this bad

I'm not the one paying for a censored product.

That I doubt, things will never get as badly censored as they were during the 90s, or will ever be as badly censored in North America as something like Chinese, German or certain Japanese games are with violence.

You listening to boycotting juveniles on Yea Forums makes you equally retarded.

covered up cleavage

You had me at "remaster sucks"

We've been over this retarded shit for ages now, yet you mongolids never learn.

The new model is closer to the original vision (concept art and in-game CGI renders).
The low-poly low-res textured model is trying to look like the art/cgi, but falls short. The v-cut never went below her nipples.
In addition, you don't know what censorship is.

tl;dr you're a megatard

so because in the process of making the battle model look better and more like the intended character design they covered up some blurry cleavage pixels that aren't even sexy in the first place therefore its bad?

Inferior to what? The og is worse.
Take a look at shit like the FF9 and FF6 "remasters" and tell me with a straight face that they're better.
Even the Chrono Trigger shit job was salvaged through a bunch of patches and then fan mods.
Getting triggered over OP marks you as a child.

Is it censored if it lines up more with the original vision than the original release did, or did we only lose titties and we're mad about it?

siren looked fucking ugly and the leaf between her legs looked more like a giant bush which was just awful to look at. the new skirt they gave her looks way better.
riona's battle model now looks like the intended character design used in the art and FMV sequences.
it's not censored it's just improved. if the goal was to censor the game shiva would not look the way she does.

The rendering for the world takes a lower priority than rendering models which is why it was done on the back end in this game to save resources.
Model rendering would be done on the front end so that you can change it as needed to maximize the effect on performance.
It's like how a sheet of notebook paper already has lines on it.
That's done on the back end.
Your writing is done on the front end.
The person writing can easily change what they want to be on the paper but you would have to do it in real time.
Changing the lines on the notebook paper would require changing the factory where it's produced.
That's why remasters can't change the back end.
It's purposefully hidden so that the front end programmers can't ruin the game with their changes.

Kink shaming isn't very progressive user, gay men can like whoever other gay men they want.

every single fucking time you retards keep reducing it to the one single case that happens to be the topic of discussion without realize that it's about the pattern between cases

they even have a word for it, "kaikai" I think

it has tons of artifacts looks like absolute shit when you get hands on those AI upscaled texture packs you'll see it instantly
compression does a great job masking this in videos/screenshots

You paint things are not being upgraded visually as "problems". When shit like new models isn't standard for any remaster. That's more in-line with remakes.

You not even being able to comprehend shit like this marks you as a retard not worth wasting time on, which is why this is my last (you) I'll give your attentionwhoring ass.

The absolute state of Square Enix.

Soulless vs soulless

twitter.com/dotemu/status/1138449556717297669

Dot Emu made this trash.

DotEmu is a crappy French company started out by one/two man losers back in 2007. Their main claim to fame is ripping off open source emulators and throwing them in terrible wrappers, and it performing like complete absolute dogshit.

They're buddy with another scamartist, little Frankie Cifaldi. They got the 'licenses' to most of GameTap's crappy games when that scam service folded. Scam artists united.

This badly decompiled EXE wrapped up in an emulator is exactly the kind of dogshit that DotEmu is known for.

Fuck Square Enix for outsourcing this 'remaster/port' to the most incompetent ofbaguette fuckers.

I actually did notice, even then. It didn't look like complete shit back then because better care was taken to hide it, but you could still tell.

Did they change the fmv sequences at all?

It's actually a port of PC version. Which itself was a bad port to begin with. That's why there's no analog movement or rumble. Square have to be the worst, most lazy, and incompetent devs when it comes to remasters. FF12 is literally their only good one and even that has badly cropped FMVs for no reason.

Nope.

Scammers scamming another scammer. It’s only fair that it happened to SquareEnix. It's their fault that they don't give a damn about making remasters themselves. They have the people and talent to do it. But they didn't use them.

I'm tempted to buy tactics on my phone but apparently it only controls well on big screens

This looks 100% like the high-res tool I used when I played this like 10 years ago.
This isn't a remaster, and people should investigate if they maybe stole the IP of the people who made that patch.

Attached: 1385226194904.png (221x210, 51K)

Yeah they can't just smooth out the pixels and expect it to look correct.

That's literally impossible. Models just can't transfer into movie files. There's a reason there's no such thing as a modded movie. Unless they reshoot the entire fmv from the ground up.

thats a very stereotypical portait of minorities my dude

How about the ff9 remaster?

You sound like those white faggots who’s angry that Barret sounds like Mr.T and writes how stereotypically black he is.

>faking a CRT instead of playing on one
fuck that I'd rather take my chances with the remaster.

Also to add. There's also a “bug” during PoTC cutscenes in KH2.5. Sometimes the characters moves like they're on fast forward. I don't know if people have brought this up. But I did notice this when I replayed 2.5 late last year in preparation for 3.

Mate, it’s a literal bush. Come on now.

What do you expect with a company that never bothered to preserve the source code?

Prime example of "soul - soulless".

It's so obviously not. I'm guessing you're just going by memory... because this is completely different art and upscaling, filters, everything... The two don't even look remotely similar.

Same issues with blurry backgrounds and has bad mobile port menus.

Can someone explain to me what's a source code. I don't get why didn't they just download a pc version of their old games and work from there. Like this FF8 remaster did. I genuinely don't get why they're moaning about can't do a remaster because source code is missing. Is it not the same as the files that you can get from install files?

Are you half-blind, my dude? That looks worse than the remaster, even.
Also, does anyone have a picture of this exact scene from the remaster? I want to make a comparison to show how half the students are part of the background and stick out like a sore thumb now.

The source code is the human-readable code, that is afterwards turned into machine code by a compiler. Without the source code, you only have the machine code game files, and those are really difficult to work with. There's some things you can pull, but overall it's a one-way road.

I'm just parroting this retard

So.. It's lines of programming codes. Before it being repackaged into a file? That's it. Sorry, just asking out of curiosity, I always ponder on how lines of codes can somehow morphed into a game.

tfw modders, who do it for free, make better remasters than 99% of official rereleases

The normal steam version of FF8 is literally the windows 98 version untouched. The FF7 and other ports on every platform are ports of the mobile versions. FF8's remade models are not because they wanted to update it, more like they were forced to remake many parts of it due to no source code. They didn't do it till now because of money. That's why everything is untouched aside from character models.

I spent about 20$ on a hard copy some years ago. I still have it and it sits in my X-Files for PS1 case.

I kinda regretted buying it slightly as I bought it before I knew what ePSXe was at the time.
I now feel slightly vindicated as the inevitable remaster is as the images other user are posting. That is, bad.

it's even worse but it doesn't look as bad

I can't remember what was wrong with it exactly, slower combat and buggy music I believe

See "Silent Hill HD Collection" for more details on Source Code being not available.

It's the same shit. Blurry backgrounds, poorly optimized, ugly font, etc. It's a lazy port (Like all SE "remasters".) of the mobile version.

Funny thing the FFT mobile port is actually good and the best version of the game and they haven't ported that to consoles yet.

They didn't even start preserving anything until around FF9 came out. FF7 only got ports because of its impact and one or another decided to never toss the source code. That's why all the once Japan only FFs got full 3D remakes and 6 got some shitty layering effect. No source code.

you're dumb, FF8 has been on PC for ages

The process you're wanting to know is the so called compilation.
CPUs work with its own "internal language", one that is quite oversimplistic and very hard to follow because its basically a list of numbers that do functions.
like "30 moves the number from the memory to the internal register" etc..
The job of the compiler is to get a much easier to understand language such as C and create a program that does the same thing on the CPU language, so it's a quite complex process.
And generally there's also assembly, that is a direct way to represent the CPU language in a more readable way, but it's still quite messy if compared to the regular code.

Lets suppose the code in C is:
enemy_hp=enemy_hp-20;

But to write it in assembler, you get:
ld a,(enemy_hp) ;Load enemy HP (stored on $1488) value into register A
sub $14 ;Subtracts 20 (in hex to make easier do read later on)
ld (enemy_hp),a ;Store the value back

If you use either an assembler for the assembly or the C compiler for the C code, you end up with:
3A 88 14 D6 14 32 88 14
An quite unreadable thing for humans unless you're cypher.
But there are programs named disassemblers that can automatically generate assembly code out of the binary, as well as i said, assembly is a direct representation of the CPU instructions, but as all the variable names and comments are NOT in the final binary, you end up with:
ld a,($1488)
sub $14
ld ($1488),a

No shit. I said FF8 on Steam is the same one from the windows 98 release. Learn 2 read

why did they decide it would be a good idea to use xlinear texture filtering instead of nearest?

yup that one's going into my cringe compilation

Surely remaking higher-res textures and remodelling static things like buildings would have been easy as fuck? Why did they bother putting so much detail in the character models but nothing else?

DUDE
ARE YOU ACTUALLY SUGGESTING WRITING A CUSTOM TOOL THAT RECOMPILES SCRIPTS FOR A 20 YEAR OLD PORT OF A GAME THAT IS LOW KEY SIMULATING A PS1 ENVIRONMENT (how PS1 -> PC ports actually worked back then)
ARE YOU MAD
NEXT YOU'LL SAY WE NEEDED TO REWRITE THE CORE GAME FROM SCRATCH BASING OURSELF OFF THE DECOMPILED* VERSION INSTEAD OF JUST REPURPOSING IT

* = high-level reconstruction from disassemblies (no, that's not what decompiling means)

To be honest, the PS1 FMVs were locked to 320x224, while the ones from this remaster supposedly come from the PC version which had the original 640x480 assets.

Is it like how Visual Basic is an easier to read program compared to C++. When in reality it does the exact same thing, right? The only thing closest to programming stuff that I used to learn was VB back then. I think I kinda get it. IIRC there's a thing that I used to do that have these dialogue boxes that was then connected to other boxes/nodes and shit. I saw the same thing (sorta) during FFXV’s videos back then when they're showing how they're making the game using the Luminous engine. So basically, codes>compiler>engine>game? A game engine simply put, was just translating our input and provide visuals and audio feedback to the player? Anyways, thanks user. I think it might be better for me to read about it myself than bothering you. Sorry.

Didn't know, asking a question about something vidya related is cringe now. Sorry, I should've posted another random twitter faggot so that we all can outrage together. What was I thinking.

Yes, I was suggesting that, problem?

Only VB6.0 and up, earlier versions of VB create something you could describe as an "emulator with a ROM packaged in" of sorts, but basically yes.
Also its fine.

Has there ever been a good remaster of a PS1 game?

Final Fantasy Tactics for mobile.
Aaand I guess that's it.

What the fuck

>mobile
PSP >>>>> mobile

>things will never get as badly censored as they were during the 90s
We're already getting there, Playstation's policies as of late last year are disturbingly close to NoA's during the 90's. All that's really missing at this point is the removal of western religious references. Which most localizers already do themselves the few times they pop up anymore.

Wake the fuck up already. But you won't. You'll throw out another fucking apologist argument like you faggots always do, and then call me an incel or some shit and claim I wouldn't give a shit if it weren't anime tiddies. I'm so unbelievably tired of this shit.

Now that's an actually valid example of Soul vs. Soulless.

PSP have slowdowns, yes, I know there's a fan patch to fix it, but mobile port is fixed and have higher resolution than PSP. Everything else is the same.
