Eh, seems like an okay port then. I'll wait on this since I want to play The SIlver Case and 25th Ward before delving deeper into classic Grasshopper Manufacture games.

I'd appreciate it if someone could post a screenshot of the game running at 1440p or 4K so we can confirm if it's natively running at those resolutions or if it's just upscaling.
I imagine that it's still technically incomplete since there was a lot of ambient tracks in the game, but it's still rad that they went the extra mile.
Yeah, I don't use my (wife's) PC a whole lot, but for that price, I'm getting this. I want this on as many platforms as possible.
And I'll try to figure out what the hell "partial controller support" means in practical terms later.

That usually means that you need to use your keyboard for some functions, like entering a name or quitting the game
It shouldn't be that big of a deal
Yeah, it's usually not an issue. And if you have Steam configured to see your controller as a Steam Controller, it's often possible to get around the keyboard/mouse requirement with some extra mapping.
OK, buying. Thanks for that.
Goddamn this game still looks sexy as hell. I don't think I ever beat it on GameCube.
Sad but not unexpected with these older console ports.
For full support you need to be able to hit the play button on steam (or big picture mode) and do everything with a controller. They have a settings launcher so they can't claim full. I'd assume it's entirely controller friendly outside of that.
From what? It just runs at 144hz for me. At 1440p it did at least. At 4k it's more like 80-120fps despite the GPU falling half asleep. Maybe need to look into that later.
So will this game play best with a controller or the keyboard/mouse? I notice the new controls lets you map things that were once all a single button to multiple keyboard commands and use commands on the fly that used to be limited to a menu selection.
I have my 4k monitor at 125%, will it look messed up if it relies on Windows DPI scaling? I don't want to have to switch it out for a single game.

Oh shit! Damn I wish this didn't come out the day before PokƩmon let's go. Still super fucking hyped for this I can't believe I'll finally be able to play this on my pc.
Recommend playing with a gamepad, but we made sure to include those KB/M controls if that is your weapon of choice.
Ok it seems like it was running at 1440p. It seems to take into account the Windows DPI setting so you'll need to do 100% scaling for proper 4K.
It's the best the game has ever looked though easily. Proper widescreen plus high-res HUD.
Stealth brag, I just want to call out this particular screen because there was actually a lot of subtle work done to the UI and puzzle elements to make sure it all displays properly in 16:9.
edit: This probably isn't the right thread for reporting technical issues. I'll use the other one.

I can imagine. There is a reason I made sure to check the HUD and stuff. A long time ago I was playing the game in Dolphin and that upscaled HUD stuck out like a sore thumb so I attempted to do an "HD HUD pack" for use with the emulator but didn't really have the skills to recreate the elements properly so I forgot about it. It's nice to have the game running at high-res with a consistent presentation finally.
Will be shocked if the port's actually good. Probably just buying it on PS4, to be safe.
Super excited to play through the game again, though -- when it clicked for me, I loved it.

It's not on PS4 though? I'd like for it to get ported at some point though.
Seems good to me.
While there's no way to choose your resolution, it matches your desktop resolution. Doesn't look like there's a 60 FPS lock either. There are a few quality of life improvements with keyboard mapping and the UI was touched up to look better at high resolutions.
Alright, sounds good. Thank you both.
Good job putting up the such a good looking OT on such short notice, OP!
I wish there was a little more buildup towards release, but I'm excited to finally pick it up. Probably won't run on my shitcomputer, but I need this to do well if I wanna have any hope of playing it on other platforms, lol. Not to mention all that cut story that suda talked about not too long ago that he'd like to reintegrate somehow, given the chance. Is the remastered soundtrack any different aside from the additional 10 tracks?

I love this game and I'm really happy with this remaster and all the work that NISA and the developers has done, but I cant hide my small disapointment to this.
I'm not a native english speaker, but I understand people talking fairly well. Even so, I still lose a lot of the details with hard accents or jargons, so I hoped that the remaster fixed it and added english subtitles to all the game.
I'm actually pretty hopeful this will run on my Surface Pro 3. System requirements seem pretty low.
Just got done with Angel, and I can report that this is a very good port all around. There are a couple of strange quirks, though, but hardly deal breakers.
1. This is definitely based on the Gamecube version, as some have noted above with the legacy Memory Card Slot A/B text when you're saving your game. Nothing crazy, but something that might trip someone up.
2. This issue is a bit more noticeable, but it looks like reload animations while in the game world default to 30 fps. There's really not too many reasons why you would reload outside of combat, and those reload animation cutscenes are running at 60 fps, but it's an odd little issue that seems like it ought to be easy to fix with a patch.
3. Sadly, no English subtitles beyond the Remnant Psyches. It makes the prominent space on the bottom during cutscenes even stranger since the game's framing was adjusted for widescreen, so it's a lot of literal dead space. I wonder if this might have to fall on the community to add, since I imagine that they could do some great things there, like simulating the original Japanese subtitle effects in English.

In NISA's blog post they bring up that reloading animation (emphasis mine):
NIS America said:
take the good with the bad, not that big of a deal imo
This is not acceptable in 2018
Interesting. That seems similar to the issue with the rifle reload animations in RE4, which I believe are still locked at 30 fps. Like I said, it's not anywhere close to being a problem, but it is an odd quirk all the same.
Who gives a crap, the game is a masterpiece and it seems to be running great.
This is not acceptable in 2018
This game has a long and complicated lineage which means we strove to present as close to the original as we could, fixed where possible, and kept legacy issues when/where there wasn't an alternative.
Trust me, as someone who screamed like a banshee when I was there for the PC port announcement in person, you're not going to find someone more pleased at how this has turned out!
