When EGS leaked FF7R on their back end months ago it was just "FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE". There was no mention of Intergrade. Discord even detects the PC version as just Final Fantasy VII Remake, even though its Intergrade.

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade releasing on EGS in December 16 (Up: Coming to Steam eventually)
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
For $70. Then one year later they delist it and put up Intergrade as another $70 game with no option to existing owners to upgrade. Yes I'm still bitter about DQ.
Wait, they launched it without Denuvo? That seems like a fuck up they'd actually really care about.
why? they already got paid for the port. no need to protect it.
Not really. KH and Neo TWEWY didn't have Denuvo. It's what they do on EGS.
Considering they effort the put into the port and since they get paid from Epic, Denuvo was a cost they probably didn't want to do.
That is completely meaningless since all FF are standalone games. Just play the newer ones or at least start from the SNES games onwards or you'll get burnt out. FF2 is not even good.
you can actully chose the DLC in the main menu, you don't need to beat the game to play it.
DRM like that is usually good to help prevent pirating for a while after launch, but losing out on that money probably doesn't matter at all because they've already been paid. Putting any extra care for a better PC port or DRM is just extra money burned. Why spend it when the game probably won't overcome their guaranteed income with or without any protections against piracy?
Just for that remark I'm going to spend extra time savoring X-2 and XIII.
If you're doing that you shouldn't play this instead of actual VII, they're different games. And it's not like they'll be done with all the chapters before the PS6 anyway.
Yeah, I intend to play this after XV, going by release-order. I already know it's a different one.
That's pretty cool. It's a good way to see how it evolves. Hope you enjoy!
Support all button prompt but I think it works like a generic controller and rumble didn't work for me via Bluetooth.
Dualsense is fully supported when USB connected. The generic input via Bluetooth is a very strange bug indeed.
So haptic feedback is supported by the PC version of the game or are you speaking in general terms?
triggers too? Did the PS5 version of the game have adaptive triggers even?
Didn't notice any adaptive trigger implementation yet after many hours of playing, seems they didn't use it. In an interview, Square said Dualsense features were to be only partially supported, so I guess they meant just the haptic feedback.
I get everyone is happy about this coming to steam but if it's in the same state that this EGS version is would it really matter?
I think some people just want all their games to be in the one library for ease of access.
If it's going to be bad either way, better to have the convenience factor there at least (and it might be cheaper too, so there's that)
I agree with this.
It annoys me when people say that others can play remake, and ignore ff7, since "they're the same game" now, and that the original ff7 is now irrelevant.
I'd argue otherwise and say that ff7 original, advent children, and all the other compilation material are now more relevant, and important than ever, if someone wants to really get into remake.
It all depends on how square handles this post release. If nothing gets fixed, modders will fix it and it will get rightfully review bombed on steam. It will probably still sell a decent amount though. As it is now, the EGS/pirated version runs near perfect with mods applied (ultrawide fix 2.0, dynamic resolution disabled, forced DX11, etc.). Who knows if we'll get any fixes from square by the time it hits steam.
Square really just sent this one out to die. They collected the EGS payout, dropped the game on the floor and ran. It legit wouldn't surprise me if square had one of the facility janitors handle the port on their days off.
Yeah that's true it definitely is more convenient and the prices are typically lower plus more frequent sells.
Ahaha I had to laugh at that last sentence. I do agree that modders definitely will eventually fix everything if it hasn't been done already and the review bombing would be welcomed when deserved. Maybe they'd learn to stop half assing their ports.
The fixes posted by modders were literally done so within hours of release to a day later. It'll be interesting to see how Forspoken on steam turns out.
I don't see how modders can fix a known issue with UE4 on PC with the micro stutters?
Modding this game is a hard. Not a lot is accessible. The most you should expect is model, music swaps, AI upscaling the pre rendered scenes and ini tweaks, along with the stuff that's already there and maybe texture upgrade (big maybe). Don't expect anything regarding the stuttering issue as that's down to shader compilation and the only way to "fix" it would have been to make sure to pre compile them, which is entirely on the developers to implement.
Damn well leaving it up to square and I literally have no faith for a fix. They've just proven it game after game to rarely if ever come back to patch anything.
Is there a way to share the shaders like on emulators like Yuzu or Ryujinx?
I have tried several raw and compression formats and nothing seems to work, maybe because of how they introduced oodle compression during intergrade development.
Shaders are always precompiled in UE4 you can't cook a project without it and it takes a good while to do so but they still need to be optimized for every GPU and Driver Version out there and that's something game devs can't do in advance unfortunately.

So every UE4 game is doomed to terrible performance? They can't fix FF7R?
Played about an hour and digging the game a a lot!
Is there any way to enable Japanese text? I tried setting the EGS language to Japanese but that still didn't do it.

Dunno UE5 might fix it in time but from what i heard it's actually even worse atm.
Check if its supported in the store listing then maybe try -language=ja as a command line argument or maybe -culture=ja idk I think some games in the past used that.
There is a mod that was just released today shows both Japanese and English text at the same time. It should be on nexus.
Haven't tried it personally, so not sure if it actually works well. Just saw it in passing.
Let me know if it works properly, since I'm quite curious myself.
I mean that's a given i was just talking about shader related stuttering in UE in general, there is no real fix atm but better hardware might fix it in time.
That said in theory it should actually be better in DX12 but in practice it's worse compared to DX11 for some reason. I wonder how Vulkan performs but i don't know any game that supports it, despite the engine supporting it.

Just tried the mod.
You'll get dual English and Japanese text during cutscenes, but the menus and UI themselves are still all in English.
The Unreal Engine 4 DX12 stutter is caused by the W10 security feature called "Control Flow Guard". You need to deactivate this for the game. It won't get rid of all the stutter but will reduce it a lot.
Modders won't always come to the rescue of publishers and honestly nor should they.
I've seen UE4 DX12 games that don't have it or where the devs mostly fixed it post release so devs certainly have some control over it and it can be fixed.
