Yeah because during that time the protocols was super strict some of the original VA didn't comeback such Osborn, Laura, Leonidas etc. Glad that we got Mcburn/Lechter VA in Reverie again.

Great review, really appreciate the technical side, especially since it doesn't seem that there are all that many people reviewing this. Just to ask, do you feel like there's an aliasing issue in the CS4 port? I've got a 1080p TV, and while CS3 looked fine, CS4 looks as if there's no aliasing, or perhaps it was similar to what you described in CS3 before the patch where the outline was lower res. Really odd stuff

ey thanks glad you enjoyed it, I definately feel like this side of stuff isn't reported on enough on youtube or games news sites outside of digital foundry and they can only do so much so I do like giving these games a bit of a deep dive Your issue with CS4 on a 1080p screen is rather perplexing, the PS5 if anything should still just render the game at 4k and downscale it to your tv essentially giving you 1080p with 4xSSAA, I had no real issues with CS4 when I toyed around with it, it was a pretty simple 1800p to 4K, I think tipping off NISA might be a good shout cos that seems like a real problem

Great review/analaysis! Honestly I love anything Trails, so this was an easy buy for me. I just received mine today, and there are 2 discs in the box.

Do you know if they fixed the Master Quartz named "Pazuzu" instead of "Zephyr" in Trails of Cold Steel III? It is the one that Fie is equipped with.

Is super sample back down the correct way to describe that? I've been calling it down sampling and people have no idea what I'm saying. Genuine question.

@Kraftium

4 ай бұрын

I think they're basically the same thing (their might be a slight technical difference) it is typically refered to as SSAA (super sample anti-aliesing) but you are physically downscaling/sampling an image to a lower resolution when you do it so who knows lol as for why people have no idea what you're saying I think its cos most people don't know theres a difference between rendering and display resolution

As it’s turned based, would you say it’s worth selling off my Switch carts giving up portability for the better visuals/frame rate for this new PS5 double pack?

@Kraftium

4 ай бұрын

oof thats a tricky one, personally I can't stand how it looks on switch (atleast on the tv, the smaller screen in handheld mode looks fine-ish) but if I'm perfectly honest the main draw of trails is its narrative and characters and theres alot of reading which really isn't effected that much by the switch your choice hombre

I'm a little upset because I'm 35 hours into Trails of Cold Steel IV on my Switch, but since I see they have Trails of Cold Steel III and IV in a combo package on the PlayStation 5 for $69 and Trails Into Reverie for $39.99 so I'm about to purchase it all of them on my PlayStation 5 and then start at Trails of Cold Steel III since Trails of Cold Steel IV was my first Trails game ever. It's almost like I wasted the 35 hours that I played the game on my Switch, but since I've read that the visuals and performance have been improved on the PlayStation 5 I think I would enjoy it a whole lot more than I do on my Switch because the visuals are horrible on the Switch. I absolutely love and Trails of Cold Steel IV on my Switch OLED in spite of the poor visuals. In fact it's my favorite Japanese rpg on the Switch and one of my favorite RPGs of all time. The only jrpgs that I can think of that I've enjoyed more than Trails of Cold Steel IV are Dragon Quest 11 which is my all-time favorite jrpg, Yakuza Like a Dragon, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, and The Witcher 3 which is favorite western rpg and my favorite rpg of all times.

Do these ports allow us to set the confirm button in settings? Like chatting it to Circle instead of Cross. Some Japanese games allow this on PS5 ports… Can you confirm?

I noticed reverie ps5 was sharper than the ps4 version. Are these sharper than the previous?

@Kraftium

there is a 20% res boost from 1800p to 2160p (ie 4K) but its pretty minor and theres few problem areas unlike hajimari which had a mostly perfect, if a little basic ps5 port from what I can tell

I never really appreciated quality anti-aliasing until I played Alien Isolation. On the PS3 it was atrocious to the point that your character breathing makes the environment look like it's moving all the time, even when you're holding still. In that game, it's a real problem, because everything looks like the xenomorph sneaking up on you in the dark. On PC, this can be fixed with a mod hilariously called "Alias Isolation". Your ability to be bothered by the most minute details will always amuse me. I guess it's because I grew up with video games in the early 1980s and thinking Pitfall on the Intellivision was at one time the pinnacle of good graphics. Still, your port reports are accurate. Well done! Looking forward to DMC 2!!!

The truth is when the ports themselves are kinda basic i gotta justify doing more than a 2 minute break down, so the solution is to go through it with a fine tooth comb for the nitty gritty, end of the day alot of this stuff is pretty negligible Funny you should bring up anti-aliasing and alien isolation actually. Digital foundry did a pretty interesting videon on the switch port when it came out and how it arguably looks better than the ps4 release since its a raw 1080p 30fps on ps4 and 900p 30fps but with a pass of temporal anti-a Screw 4k a really high quality 1440p or 1080p is way better most of the time

Not that i know of Only played the demo on ps4 and like 25 minutes of the full game on PC The PC port is fantastic but does have a bit of a draw backs with the facts that high settings for volumetric lighting have a huge pref hit and also while its anti-a solutions solve jaggies pretty good, they are not great for specular detail so you get some pretty bad internal shimmering Ps5 version from what ive heard is just a better looking and running version of the ps4 version, falcoms new engine really helps them alot
