Tales of Symphonia Remastered Announced for PS4, Xbox One, Switch; 30 FPS Framerate Confirmed for All Platforms

Tales of Symphonia Remastered is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in early 2023, Bandai Namco confirmed

wccftech.com

Felt this was thread worthy as there was some hope it would finally be 60FPS again.

 

[Helix]

lol gg BAMCO.

so the GC version is the only one with 60fps then?

 

[Nugnip]

Why even bother

 

[Tarnished]

An easy pass then

 

[Chemo]

WHY? I just don't understand why the fuck they can't get it right this time. How hard could it be?

 

[MGPanda]

What the fuck lmao why

 

[Hyun Sai]

Tekken is 3, Tales is 30 !

 

[MarkuGarku]

lol

 

[Valkerion]

Didn't they patch it/it was modded on PC to be 60 right? Why re-re-release it without this given how much stink was made about it last time?

Spoiler

not to mention the price

 

[MakotoYuki]

So, its a direct port of Steam version?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Bummer. This is a 20 bucks release ?

 

[Blade24070]

Remake this game.

 

[mrmickfran]

Unbelievable

 

[_zoipi]

What in the flying fudge?

Also, this relewased on PC, right? What changes does this remastered has? Didn't the PS3/PC version had all the extras from PS2 or so?

 

[GamerJM]

Gonna hunt down a used Gamecube copy I think

It'll look nice on my component port ready CRT at least

 

[Kazooie]

Why can a 60fps GameCube game not be run at 60fps on Switch, let alone Xbox Series X / PS5?

$40 USD

 

[Oreiller]

That's hilarious.

People were asking this of the PS3 version like 10 years ago lol

 

[cw_sasuke]

$40 USD

Click to shrink...

That's ...a choice.
Then again people can wait for sales and it's a considered a classic.

 

[Papercuts]

480p 60fps in 2003 to 1080p 30fps in 2023.

 

[Vex]

30fps??!??

 

[Ekid]

Straight port of the PS3/PC versions for 40$/€, what a scam.

We want Destiny R, not this for the fifth time.

 

[viewtifulkenka]

Truly, nobody asked for this.

 

[Jonneh]

For those wondering why it's because the PS2 version added new content but had to downgrade to 30fps, all ports have been based on this expanded version

It's hard coded in now and even modders haven't been able to unlock the 30fps cap

 

[FSLink]

Didn't they patch it/it was modded on PC to be 60 right?

Click to shrink...

Nope, they never did. No mod for it either since the game is hard coded to be 30.

All the HD ports are based on the PS2 version, which ran at 30, and it seems like Bandai Namco doesn't want to put the time opr money into fixing this.

 

[BasilZero]

Can't believe we gotta wait another two years for another remaster of another game after this garbage

Thank you for that explanation. Jesus Christ Bamco 🥴

If anything It's surprising that they couldn't get this to match the GCN version on PS2

It's not like the GCN was much beefier in terms of specs over the PS2

but like for real, Symphonia is still Symphonia and Symphonia will always be good but come on man. It's been 19 years since the GC version was in 60fps, the borked PS2 port shouldn't still be the one we're getting in 2022.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Bamco still acting like the GameCube release was never a thing.

 

[Princess Bubblegum]

Clown shoes. If they really wanted to make the ports 60 FPS they could, they just don't want to spend the money.

 

[KainXVIII]

At least its 4k (or higher) on PC..

 

[Shift Breaker]

Have they lost the source code for this or something?

 

[criteriondog]

BRUH

 

[StereoVSN]

So same old tired port, 30 fps and all, for $40. Yeah, good luck with that one, Bamco.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Here, take this re-remaster

Thanks, oh it's so...remastered

I lied, it's actually 30fps...

 

[Sieffre]

I knew it was going to be a slapdash port of the PS3 version. The texture work does appear to be a little better, though.

PS3 version:

PS4 version:

Not sure if they just went over the textures with a sharpening filter, or if it's just due to the higher screen resolution, but the building in the back looks a lot sharper. One thing I noticed is that the PS3 version removed the thick black outline from the character models that was in the Gamecube original version, but there was a bug where weapons still had that thick outline. You can see that bug is still in the PS4 version. I would wager to guess the god-awful buzzing of the roller coaster in Altamira won't be fixed, either.

 

[Leo]

Yeah, 40 bucks for that sounds ridiculous.

 

[Dukie85]

And there goes my excitement for the announcement... welp, I'll stick to the GC version on Steam Deck :')

 

[Thordawgg]

Tales of Symphonia Demastered

Loved this back on the Gamecube and they extinguished my excitement for the steam release and then when i heard of this I should've known better than to get excited haha that'll teach me

 

[RayCharlizard]

 

[Regulus Tera]

They probably lost the source code to the GCN version or some shit like that.

because they keep porting the PS2 version every time

 

[Icebergslim]

I love when games get remastered so they can be up to date for the year 2010

 

[SmokedSalmon]

I remember hoping for 60fps back for the ps3 release. Crazy that it's coming out again with the same issue.

I want to play it on my switch, but I'll wait for a sale. This game deserves so much better. One of the all time greats.

 

[Dust]

Lol, people will pay money for this?

 

[Kazooie]

because they keep porting the PS2 version every time

Click to shrink...

That's a reasonable explanation, but a disappointing one.

 

[Hu3]

Lol, illl wait for a sale.
