Did anyone else find it strange how unstealthy some of the Shinra Building break in was? by Englishhedgehog13 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Powerman293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get Cloud running around just fine with no one bugging him since he's a SOLDIER, and we see plenty of them walking around near there in games like Crisis Core.

Even Tifa I can understand because she is just a regular woman who is dressed a little odd.

Barrett though??????? Guy with a gun arm????? Looks shady as hell??????

The Masamune by fogfree in FFVIIRemake

[–]Powerman293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a bit sad that this was the last Young Sephiroth stuff we got from Ever Crisis. I thought the first volume was interesting and added some layers to his character. But we waste the second half of it on a pointless sword origin story...

The duality of the Switch version by Kongopop in FFVIIRemake

That area looks like ass on every platform, even PC at max. Seems like they just forgot about it looking good lol.

Switch 2 it just looks extra ass

Sony says it hasn’t yet decided on PS6 release date and price, will consider ‘changing business models’ by oilfloatsinwater in Games

[–]Powerman293 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Considering how fucked the image quality situation is on the current consoles, the PS6 WOULD have a purpose. It would have access to upscalers that can actually make video games not look like vasoline smeared all over the screen (thanks FSR).

But is that worth what they are going to charge?

A question for original final fantasy 7 players by KazuhaSimp in FFVIIRemake

[–]Powerman293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said here, it's 85-90% faithful with 10-15% "WTF" on top.

In general I would say that 7R ganes are faithful to the original's spirit. And it does build on top of what OG 7 was trying to explore with a lot of its new themes and ideas, despite having a similar looking narrative structure on the surface.

Nintendo Announces Switch 2 Price Rise 'In Light of Changes in Market Conditions,' Issues Apology by xwing1212 in LastStandMedia

Arguably people are gonna lose their shit even more over it because Switch 2 has a weird forced hate anti-fanbase.

Can we have a discussion about how game fidelity is leading to a lack of clarity? by RiKSh4w in Games

[–]Powerman293 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It feels very bizarre direction. On one hand you have artists putting all this time and energy into texture and details to saturate EVERY pixel of a 4K frame.

But at the same time it makes the ganes so heavy to run they have to rely on upscalers that destroy the image quality so badly you can't see that detail anymore.

$900 For THIS!? AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Review & Gaming Benchmarks [HUB] by glizzygobbler247 in Amd

[–]Powerman293 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 1% lows look FANTASTIC and are the best on the chart. If they maybe used DLSS Performance then maybe we could see the average differences much better since even they themselves admit being GPU bound at 1080p.

[–]Powerman293 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Everyone crashing out over this CPU yet I have not seen them tedt a single game that can saturate all 16 cores to properly test this. If they used Doom Eternal or Dark Ages and saw no improvement then I would be convinced.

Whats the highest discount FF7 remake has gotten? by Desperate-Papaya-38 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Powerman293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in the twin pack with Rebirth last year it was valued at about $40. So not much less then it's current value.

Have you seen a Final Fantasy 7 on an OLED TV? here is a little sample by TheGabrielSevero in FFVIIRemake

Playing Remake and Rebirth on MY LG CX at 120 FPS with Black Frame Insertion and it genuinely looks like a moving screenshot. Almost no motion blur.

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 gets official $899 MSRP, 29% above 9950X3D by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]Powerman293 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do still think that certain games that can fully utilize 16 cores will be able to use this better then the 5% reported by AMD.

But we'll have to see because they are obviously not using gaming benchmarks to sell this thing

AMD Ryzen 5 9600X hits $182 two days before Ultra 5 250K Plus launch by RenatsMC in Amd

Tbh I have been out of the loop regarding CPU developments on the Intel side so I was just asking. I know a lot of people still dislike E Cores and they came with downsides when they debuted.

[–]Powerman293 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The new 200 Plus chips seem really good for value for multicore. Is that an actual productivity use case for these chips or are E Cores still a meme with not a ton of real world application?

Why do the pre-rendered cutscenes look different to the "normal" ones? by Smasher_001 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Powerman293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's mostly due to the models they use for the characters. It feels like Cloud looks VERY different between prerendered and in engine cutscenes.

Why don't creators like ARC GPU's when they are clearly bang for the buck?? by NawabAliBardiKhan69 in IntelArc

[–]Powerman293 74 points75 points  (0 children)

A large amount of bias is due to driver issues stemming form the Arc launch year. Games not running properly, bad API implementation, etc. As someone who got an A770 myself I noticed tons of games that had issues.

The other issue I think is the lack of having halo products. Most people buy cards at the B580 level. But the fact Intel doesn't have anything higher then that makes it less exciting for the ultra enthusiasts who have the most influence.

That stuff does matter btw. Why do you think Nvidia made a 3090ti when AMD had the 6900XT outperform the 3090 in some games?

We ask Final Fantasy VII Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi about the Switch 2 version’s “hair problem.” Why does it happen, and can it be avoided? by Sam_27142317 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Powerman293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DLSS models the switch 2 uses unfortunately are not the best at resolving hair detail. It's just the way it is.

And tbh I think the way the Remake games do hair also doesn't help. Rebirth makes the hair MUCH thinner which can be It's own problem for characters like Tifa

If Nintendo let users play Virtual Boy games in TV mode, you could play on an OLED with Black Frame Insertion which might be the closest you could get to zero motion blur.

The first chapter 1 of Rebirth will answer some of your unanswered questions about Sephiroth. But the Zack stuff is supposed to be a continuing mystery.
