Sure I'll accept it. Is the port going to be any good though?

Not sure if a good thing or not...

Probably just sick of people complaining about the PSX port.

Gonna wait to hear about the port quality but I'm definitely interested. Grandia II was one of my favorite Dreamcast games.

Any word on price point? Hoping for like $15 or lower but I bet it'll be like $20.

Am I being too negative thinking it's not that reassuring to be shadowdropped like that?
(Don't get me wrong, if it's good, I will buy it but....)

Have we seen a single screen of Grandia 1 HD? I'm very interested to see how that is going to look and a little worried lol. I'll be buying this day 1 though.
Love me some Grandia - the first game has a real feeling of "adventure" that I've rarely experienced :)

Nice. I want to wait for impressions first. Never played G1 but I reeeeally want to see how it holds up here.

Any price listed? Hoping it's $25 or less, otherwise I may be adding it to my WishList for a while...

Another vid:



Last we heard you cannot turn off the vasaline filter


I just watched two videos, and honestly, they look pretty decent to me. I can't play Saturn Grandia without buying a CRT anymore (which are surprisingly expensive!) and don't really have the space anyways, so it looks like a decent alternative to the PS1 version to me. Background in the video looked a little bit better than the PS1 version, which I guess would mean they were able to rip them from the SS ver?

Edit: Oh, I guess I could play Saturn Grandia on PC. But that's kind of a bummer.

The backgrounds on the SS ver were 3d and not rendered. All videos of the "HD" ver show rendered backgrounds for battles.

Nice, probably going to wait and see if it releases on anything else later but will pick it up at some point if not. Looks kind of bad though, oh well great games.

The SS version backgrounds were also prerendered. They were just higher resolution. You can see the seams when it zooms in, just like how you can see them when it zooms in on Parm from the battleship window at the beginning of the game.

Honestly, as someone who likes to take my time on (J)RPGs, the Switches release schedule sucks for the second half of the year. At this point, please delay something!

I suppose we don't know if they fixed the problems from E3 then? Really not happy with this port unless they do.

Hopefully they patched in the option to turn off the filter. Otherwise this is a straight up upgrade of the PS1 original despite what people say. It's sadly not definitive but it's certainly better than just emulating it.

Damn, I'm so in!

Now I'm curious if there will be any technical differences to the PS4 version? Anything known?
