I mean, there is A LOT of customization for all three characters. You're not seeing every possible outfit or article of clothing.

Few games match RoF's level of customization even today.

Now I'm just super happy that they included 4K textures. That is absolutely amazing.

From 83 down to 16 GBytes, Jesus, were they using raw uncompressed textures and FMVs?

16 GB base game, 83 GB with 4K textures.

Still can't believe that textures in this game will be so ridiculously big (and judging by screenshots they are not that great)

So i guess this means they just resize textures, perhaps with some sharpening filters? (like modders were doing with Xenoblade for Wii in Dolphin if i m not mistaken) So those 4k textures are not "true"... They are just upscales... "True" would be making textures from, idk, 16k original source image instead of resizing/filtering 1k texs

Excellent. This is how it should be. I hope we get a good comparison from somewhere, maybe DF.

Frankly I'm a little surprised that they heard the feedback and reacted so quick. Credit to them for sure.

Even with upscaling textures in this game can't be THAT size, something wrong here.

Kudos to them for doing this and being considerate of peoples bandwidth. I don't have the issue myself but I know people who have a teeeeeerrible monthly bandwidth.

Wow.....

I'm starting to think this may be the consumer-friendly trend: Allow base game to be small (without 4K textures and stuffs), but allow a DLC option for 4K textures and assets for those who pursue that graphical fidelity (optionally free or paid).

I think some developers did that like in games Shadow of Mordor for e.g. good idea to make that optional, because if space or bandwith.

Just saw this. Glad they made this decision. 16GB is much easier to swallow when you aren't using the HD textures.

Nicely done. It's neat to see Japanese developers being responsive to these sorts of issues.

It'll also be interesting to see how the "4K" textures were incorporated. SO4 had a ton of motion aliasing (shimmer everywhere) due to the way they did their textures, so it's possible that the lower resolution textures will actually look better.

Sakuraba did great job for this game but I liked Kohei's tacks more.
It should have been all Kohei.

The two styles couldn't be more different, and it doesn't really work stuffed into the same game.

Still can't believe that textures in this game will be so ridiculously big (and judging by screenshots they are not that great)
SO4 was 55GB and also only had 2 FMVs (though one is like 30 minutes long).

I'm not sure what they're doing. And the download size for SO4 was actually only 23GB.

I have never played it, but this description is making me excited for it.

What do you mean? This suddenly has me intrigued lol

The battle system depends a lot on the positioning of your three characters and the angles/distance between them influence a lot of things. It gets some time to learn everything, but it's a whole lot of fun once you understand it.

The JP pre-order comes with a PS4 theme, and unlocks early on the 16th.



No other region seems to have a PSN pre-order though. Also, the JP PS Store doesn't list a file size for the game yet, but looking back on the PS3 Version at 7.23GB, I could see the HD (1080p) mode being the standard 16GB one. Assuming they even bother, would Resonance of Fate be the first console game to optionally offer a 4K texture pack? Not that I think they will, because not even the best first party titles fill their games with 4K textures.



Thanks for posting this. I was looking for a US Pre-order all week long last week, so I figured it might have that option this week with the store updates tomorrow.
