Please please please let me diaqble the smoothing filter
Edit: I guess I won't. Fuck this. This looks horrible.

Very strange article that doesn't even go into the port job visuals and performance
"I don't wanna buy a Switch because it has no games that I want except those games that should be on PS4."
Disappointed they went back on what they said on using both the PS1 and Saturn games. :/ I was looking forward to the Saturn's higher-res battle backdrops and other details.
edit: this is some smeary/blurry shit. Did they really take this long to reveal a basic port? I was hoping for something a bit more special than just the PS1 game with a filter on the sprites and interface. And still 30fps it seems too. Oh well.
Normally I bitch about smooth filters but I thought this looked good.
Not being based on the Saturn version, and no Grandia Digital Museum expansion is pretty deflating. The filter also looks iffy.
Makes it an essentially pointless release imo, except for those who aren't happy to rip & emulate.
Wow, this looks just terrible. Why did they not fix the sprite jittering during the zooms/pans?
Edit: Wait, is this still running on Playstation integer math internally? That would be embarrassing for a remaster.
I agree. It looks fine to me. Day one
Although yeha the sprite jittering is not so great
Eh, I'll still probably get this. I love both of these games and being able to relax on the switch is the bigger selling point. That said for how long its taken to show us this, I'm a little dismayed by the seemingly low budget port quality.
Like I said though, still in given that my only options for playing the first one are my PS1 copy an ocean away, or emulation at this point.

I love how the game is already six months past due and their big E3 news are some screen shots and to say it's coming "very soon"....
What's the hold up with these ports? I just want to play Grandia 1...

Ehh it's not perfect looking, but I'll still pick it up to support Grandia.
I'll need a reason to put away my PS1 copy eventually.

Which makes the decision even more justifiable considering that collections like this sell even more on Switch in the west. Also the reason why Collection of Mana is Switch exclusive.
I was interested in getting a translated and up-rezzed version of the Saturn game. If this is really just the PS1 port with optional Japanese voices, I can stick with the PS1 classic on vita until this gets a price drop.
It looks fine, however, in the battles it looks sorta...jerky? I've never played Grandia 1 before but that looked distracting.
So how much difference is there with the Saturn version compared to the PSX? I've only played the Playstation version(s) of the Grandia games. Would there be a huge jump in quality if the up-rezzed the Saturn version?
Also, has it always been planned digital only? That's a bit disappointing, but we probably would have gotten a "download required", anyways, even if was physical.
And I don't see anything in the article on not having the Museum. Is it because it's not shown on the title screen the assumption it's not there?
But would have to say in just about everything in reading about the article sounded 'negative', or opposite of what we've been told before. The only positive was the widescreen support. Have to agree, quite disappointing. But will still probably purchase.

I have a Switch and a PS4 so I am not really affected by their decision but that doesn't mean I get it. Porting these old RPGs to the Switch only seems very weird. The PS4 is very Japanese-oriented for obvious reasons, even though it won't sell as much as the Switch over there.
Ugh, you're right. I hate this kind of cheap filter.
I'm going to pass on this one.
So, they are not using the Saturn version for anything? Ps1 battle backgrounds? Jittering? Sprite filter? Why did they bother with this?
Doing the same, I am going to wait a few months and see since I have so much other stuff to play anyway, if it doesn't go there then I'll get it on my Switch.
The hub screen seems to have... performance issues? I'm hearing audio crackling and elements seem to load in way after they should. Once they get into the game it seems smooth at least.
Not to mention, while it wasnt initially only on PS, the series is mostly associated with PS because that's where all the games ended up. It's great that Switch is getting them obviously, since Grandia has never been on Nintendo platforms.
They missed out on getting my money with the huge gap of information. Winter 2018 my ass. Just finished Grandia 2 last week and now have little to no interest in this. Might buy it down the road used at some point just to have it. Would've been a day one buy for me if they released anywhere near where they we're originally supposed to.
The Saturn version has better textures, better water effects, better battles.
Someone should've asked them why they can't commit to a release date after it's already 6 months late.
This is infuriating after a year of radio silence. It's just shitty PS1 emulation! What the fuck, man.
Lots of new info here. Sorry if it's been posted and I somehow missed it:
Digital only, will consider PS4, based on the PS1 version, no filter options.
It looks like a skip from me.

I'm really, really disappointed that after all this time this is what they are coming out with.
Depending on the price on release it might be a pass for me which makes me really freaking sad.
