Why are the graphics so bad??

[toughnails]

This looks like a Gamecube game. Everything is flat shaded and low poly. What did they even remaster?

[George]

Well it's a PS3 game. They just improved textures. Not worth the pricetag in my opinion, however I'm a sucker for tales games.

Grace F remaster is based on the ps3 game which was based on a Wii game.

Well worth the price tag to have the game on PC in my opinion.
Far better battle system than Arise, for one.

Isn't the battle system like an older version of Berseria's? AKA the enemies have like 10 elements and you need to constantly edit your combos to match the weaknesses? That's tedious af, I struggle to see the appeal.

No.
Well, it's similar, but Graces f's combat system is definitely superior, and you don't have to keep editing your combos.

I just brought up my ps3 copy and compared it to this version and it looks way better now like way better. It is actually pretty bad looking on the ps3 for how low the pixels were since the ps3 was limited to 720p for videogames even though blueray movies worked at 1080p on it which I always found odd.

The original Graces is a Wii game.

Game is originally a port from Wii, just look at Vesperia that released a year before Graces, it just looks better.

PS3 wasnt limited to 720, games like Rayman: Legends and Locoroco Cocoreccho ran at 1920x1080, but the console was far too weak to run any demanding game above 720p or even at 720p, SO:Last Hope runs at 930x512 in battle.

Why the graphics look bad? A simple Google search on what platform the original game came out on would give you plenty of info :D

Honestly, considering the game's roots, I think it looks fantastic.

uhh it really has nothing to do with berseria's. You're literally supposed to mash and spam combos in that game until you hit weaknesses to, well, keep spamming. In graces you need to know what you're doing, the sheathe/unsheathe mechanic feels fantastic.

[MaximaEnfield]

its a WII game. What do u expect? Even the ps3 version wasnt that updated to begin with

[sunofpearl89]

not sure if trolling or a hopelessly fickle graphics snob

Helps if you use DSR and force MSAA to 8x.

I'm playing at 8K, 8x MSAA and it looks a lot better than it did out of the box.

---

You need a -1.0 LOD bias on textures if you use 2x DSR though, just FYI. You can force that with Special K under D3D11 texture filtering settings. Without it, the anti-aliasing causes loss of texture detail.

i cant help but notice these so called remasters of older games have a habit of throwing more paint on the character modles and saturate the colors and ♥♥♥♥ up the character lighting It just makes the textures look too busy and have out of place coloring in the environment. the older versions looks better.I noticed this with atelier rorona dx the shadows on the characters are too dark and cause detail to be lost change in texture looked weird ps3 one looked better
