A PS2 upscale with a 30fps lock for $70...

I'm floored. Even I can't accept this.

Seems to have caught your attention.

It is a bit perplexing. I bought it personally and it doesn't even have ultrawide support while an emulated version of this would. It's like, I'm happy to support the company but it feels weird getting an official product that lacks in ways compared to a community supported one.

Yes?

Yea, thats going to be a pass for me. Persona 4 is $20 and uncapped. But a $50 remaster is capped....at 30fps. Nah

with denuvo I might add. sega/atlus, I am dissapointed even when PLAYSTATION is releasing games on pc with no denuvo and more than 60fps

Don't forget the compressed audio quality.

[xd]

the fps lock is due to the old cutscenes breaking if the game runs at any other fps

[Mitsukai]

the original game was 30fps. plus it's a turn-based game; you don't even need 60fps

I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of reasons why it's locked at 30 and not just because of the cutscenes. It's the same reason that there hasn't been any 60 fps mods for emulation of this game as it breaks a lot of the game logic. Apparently the compressed audio has a lot to do with the fact that the music is dynamic depending on the moon phase so a lot of the audio related to that was not available uncompressed. The question with that would be do you get rid of the dynamic music altogether or keep it in compressed? Do I think it's kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥? Of course and I wish there was more considering the price point, but it's far from unplayable.

and same horribly compressed audio as original (and no turbo mode for combat or movement)

The game itself is great, it's worth it just for the game itself but the port is terrible, 2021 and they are releasing a full price port locked to 30fps and terrible music quality. Hopefully there are mods to fix both of these things or i'm buying this on switch instead lol

Switch versions has all the same problems, is the same price, and won't run higher than 720/1080. Not sure why people keep saying they'd prefer that version over the PC, besides portability. It's not like it's a PC port issue, it's a remaster issue in general, due to the weaknesses in the original assets. Can only do so much when you're only doing a remaster and not a full remake.

Honestly, having played it a couple hours, the FPS was never really that noticeable due to the nature of the game and the music issue is jarring but you get used to it.

Because I can get a physical copy at cex for cheap and trade some crap ps4 game I don't play anymore for it then

Blame Atlus for being too lazy and letting a third party handle this remaster instead of their own in-house team like they did with P4G.

The fact they didn't pay Unity full price (UNITY LOGO APPEARS IN LOADING SCREEN SO THEY CAN SAVE COST) says a lot how cheapo they are. They treat mainline fans like ♥♥♥♥.

the original game was 480P. it's a turn based game and you don't even need 1080P or 4K.
human eyes can't see more than 480P and 24fps anyway.
