I'm on episode 2 of LiS 1 and the subtitles aren't there and instead has the code for the dialog as the text e.g. Cue_E2_1A_Bathroom_TakeShower_Victoria_070
This is pretty rough, there's multiple examples of this popping up all over Twitter
After kinda having an ok time with True Colours on day 1, but entirely 'not great', the one thing I couldn't do with this was buy blind on day 1
By the time they'd patched a lot of stuff and added 60fps, I'd seen all it had to offer and it wasn't compelling enough (like LIS1 and BTS) for multiple plays. You could argue this is the case with many games that come out of the gate hot, which is fair, but with relatively linear games like this it hurts more
At least the powers that be didn't delist the original
I went back to the original LIS on XSX with frame rate boost and auto hdr enabled and it does run smoother than this remaster. The upgrade to 4k is nice though. They really turned up the saturation in the remaster. Mouth movements are improved, but it's a pretty minor change and they are still not great. I'm not gonna play any more of the remaster until they enable 60fps and fix the other bugs.
According to the LiS subreddit you can force 60fps by setting XSX or Ps5 output resolution to 1080p.
Yeah the remaster doesn't look great.Obviously a cash grab but no surprise here.(hey it's Square Enix).In fact,the game didn't really need a remaster,just some "improved lip sync" patch tbh.And i don't think it's improved really much in the remaster.Well in fact it depends on the moment.
Played most of the first episode and...the lighting is so...flat?I don't know why.Also some faces are...i don't know.Max for example is a bit different,Also teeth.And the texture on the clothes was not necessary and give a weird mix of stylished graphs and realism.It don't think it works well all the time.
I kinda want to replay the original instead.Sure lip sync was not great at all,but lighting and textures was less generic to me in the original.
(Game by itself is still great,of course )

Can't believe that after the videos I saw of it, and the bugs being described, they dare to ask 40 euros EACH. That's crazy to me.
Edit: Oh it's both games in 1? Still too much for how little it improved though. I got 2 emails from steam so I thought you had to buy them separately lol.

Sucks that these aren't so hot right now. Guess I'll just go through Uncharted PS5 remasters instead and circle back once these get some patches in them.
Sucks that I bought them already but eh. Not going to bother for a refund when I know I'll just buy them right back when most issues are fixed.

Auto hdr works with before the storm which is nice given it doesn't in True Colors. And they never patched real hdr for the dx12 rtx mode 🚮. Weird they didn't include a 120 fps cap option but easy to fix in nvidia control panel.
Steam forum posted some comparisons and even in Storm there's clearly been work done. Shadows, textures etc. Bummer for console peeps issues

Interesting to hear that the next gen consoles don't have a 60 FPS mode. I just started playing on Stadia and there's a 30 FPS and 60 FPS option for it there (High Resolution and High Framerate).
Granted I'm only on a Series S, but it's silly how LiS2 has better IQ and runs at 60fps while the remaster of 1 looks and runs the way it does.
I'll still bear through it for the facial improvements but this AA and 30fps is rough.

Honestly the main thing I want to see is those pre-rendered scenes being rerendered at higher res and bitrate, It really takes you out the moment I feel when the image quality takes an extreme hit like that, and they currently look like a streamed YouTube video, at least on Xbox.
4k 120 fps is nice on pc 😉
Before the Storm has annoying Unity Stutters every now and again tho. Really hate how excessive the chromatic aberration is too
Chloe was absolutely unbearable for the first hour or so but seems to be getting a bit better. Some of that teen speak dialogue made Riverdale look like Shakespeare. True Colors was a big step up for Deck Nine

Well, managed to get 3 scenes into Before the Storm chapter 1 before it crashed back to the PS4 OS.
Not to happy I bought that stupidly expensive version of True Colors now.
But on the plus side, when you pull up Chloe's hand in front of your face to see your current task, it's completely remoded!

Before the Storm still doesn't have TAA, at least not any effective one. The old Reshade SMAA solution for the original doesn't seem to help.

I am angry I paid money for these remasters. Yeah, I got the True Colours bundle on sale with these, but it appears it was a complete waste of money.
oh no baby, what is you doin.
now im glad i didnt pull the trigger on this yet. True colors burned me with a bug that caused constant crashes, couldnt play for several weeks.
This is actually ridiculous. It was one of the best scenes in the game. SE what are you doing??
Maybe the remaster is based on the mobile port release which released some years ago, since it was ported to Unreal Engine 4.
Imagine paying full price for the bundle, learning the Remasters will be delayed and seeing the bundle go on sale before the remasters are even out. And then they release in this state...
This is sadly really souring me on LiS.
This game has weird technical issues on PS4 that I just checked on the OG Xbox and PS4 versions doesn't have. It's a very weird bad thing.
imagine all of that and also not really liking True Colors :(.
My story.
It's amazing companies don't see how this reflects really badly on them, and the brands. "Let's do a remaster quick cash grab," put up a small amount of money to a skeleton third party team, and release a load of crap.
Looks like I'll hold on for now, gonna wait for some patches. LiS holds a special place in my heart and I was looking forward to revisit the game, I can wait a bit more.
SE recognized they stumbled upon a love brand, which a significant number of players have a really strong affinity for, and they've been milking it dry ever since, sadly also including True Colours, its DLC, and pricing, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the main game.
Heh, yeah same here. I feel awful thinking about how much I paid for the big fancy edition day 1.
I just finished off Wavelengths on Tuesday too, and ran into a progression bug right at the end that apparently still hasn't been fixed.
I love their games, but I've had pretty annoying/serious bugs in all of Deck Nine's LiS games and now with BtS Remastered crashing back to the PS4 OS on me, I don't even want to play them in this state.
I don't recall having any bugs in Dontnod's games. Looks like Deck Nine's games are now Wait for a Sale for me in the future.
Shame this released in the state it has, I'm sure the devs are trying their best and would have preferred a delay to get it right.
SMH. You'd think they would have just delayed a bit and fixed this kind of stuff. It's a remaster, not some hot new release trying to make it out by the holiday sales rush or something. There'd be little blowback over a delay for this kind of re-release.
