unless review code is a bit different(maybe beta?), or something happened with the launch version, it's locked at 30 for everyone else.

how did you get it to run at 60? there aren't any v-sync settings or anything. i'm running on a g-sync monitor.
it's not a review build thing — i wrote the verge review linked above that said it was locked to 30, so would like to update if there's a solution. i figured it was just xbox-era fixed game logic.
Is it just me or does the lighting look worse than the original release? What happened to the shadows and specular highlights?
Also I know you can't ask Canada for help but at least give us a physical release here.

Not that you should put your trust in arbitrary numbers anyway, but IGN gave Godhand a 3/10, Deadly Premonition a 2/10, and Prey a 4/10. Read what they wrote, then judge with your own eyes.
Im shocked the game has Ultrawide support! its been a really fun nostalgia trip so far, Its funnier than I recall too. I miss these sort of arcade-style mech games.
well, whaddya know. I based my perception of the frame rate off of feel, as opposed to running benchmarks, but after testing in both FRAPS and RTSS, yep, it's locked to 30fps. (I didn't include an fps count in my article and simply offered my assumption here since the thread didn't have any linked reviews at the time.)
I apologize for getting that wrong, ResetERA. maybe it boils down to the engine keeping a locked 30fps, as opposed to serving up frame time spikes, mixed with the game's decidedly last-gen look, that tripped me up? after doing this MWCXD test, I went back and did a test of Forza Horizon 4, going back and forth between 60fps and 30fps, to make sure I hadn't gone insane and stopped perceiving a difference between the two. (I have, indeed, not gone insane.)
I was playing on Xbox One earlier and all of the cutscenes had delayed sound. Like something would happen on screen, and then you would hear the sound effects a second or two later.

Seems like some effects missing and game has sound issues
Maybe Dark1x is looking into this port analysis already 😍

What a rip off.
25$ for a 15 year old game that's locked at 30 fps on PC. Apperently it even has missing effects and other problems.

Can't believe I played XD so many times over the weekend and still couldn't get my review out on time. I beat most of the levels on Hell so far but won't be going back to unlock every weapon.
Anyways, here's Wonderwall.

Yeah, the sound mix is a mess. Cutscenes are SUPER LOUD, in-game dialogue not so much.
That said, I had more fun than I expected to. This is super jank PS2 city, and it's kind of nostalgic.

I'm pretty sure they did, they were still doing multiple games back then. They had their dark fantasy team(King's Field) and their MECHA ACTION team, kind of like they did in the PS3 era.

The rimshot before the operation name in San Francisco is hilarious. They were so in on the joke.

This game is such good fun. Really does take me back to classic From from the PS2 days. This is the closest they've ever gotten to crafting an arcade experience. I miss these kind of games.
They had a lot of overlap between teams, the lead designer of this ended up being Miyazaki's lead game designer on his games and this team also made Ninja Blade and Armored Core as well as also a lot of them ending up on their current array of games like Sekiro and Bloodborne. Their old games just had a lot of variety that's missing nowadays but the quality of their games has improved.

Preordered the physical version from Gamestop this morning and noticed it's been delayed until August 27th.
They also made Murakamo for the Xbox back then.
Found this recent interview with Masenori Takeuchi about the original development of the game...

Should I wait until the audio patch? It almost feels detrimental to my joy of the game, since I can barely hear the hilarious dispatcher commentary.

The reporter is hilarious, especially how he spins your efforts.

The railgun is indispensible against the super armored enemies & bosses. Goes through them like butter.
Yeah the railgun fully charged is a super cannon. OP!
When you lose a mission and you have to do the entire stage from the start, no checkpoints, just have to go straight through. Some of the missions can be pretty damn long too! It's so satisfying though when you complete them. Hope they get in fixing the sound issues soon. Game is fine for me otherwise.

Oh wow, that's really bad. Hopefully this is fixable at some point.
This looks like when a new emulator comes out and it's missing post processing effect while playing games.

I'm willing to give them a pass on that stuff since the port was probably the resort of ritualistic sacrificial miracles.
And they're communicable, too.
I do find it funny the reviews are mostly fixated on the game itself and not the port quality, though.

You'd need a JP copy of it to run the debug, currently the menus aren't translated, but some people most likely will either test the settings and do a translation like that or edit the files.
How many of the reviewers actually have personal hands on experience with the Xbox original?

This looks super bad.
But now I finally get why I had the lingering feeling of something being way, way off with the remake. Metal Wolf Chaos' destruction was only second to Wreckless. It's a shame they botched it.
I don't know man. The original game just look more yellow and there seems to be fireworks attached to every object ready to explode.
