Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition details version resolution and frame rate differences

[Matrix XII]

Going to pick this up on the switch. Yes I’d like 60fps everywhere but 30fps while running around isn’t a huge deal to me.

 

[Oniletter]

Definitely expecting drops on Switch to go along with the 60/30 split.

Of course you do.

 

[MechaX]

Meh, 60fps ain’t saving how janky a lot of shit is on the field in Tales games, especially in Vesperia.

Will still probably go for the Switch version on this one

 

[jeelybeans]

Hoping for no drops on Switch as that's the version I'm getting! :) Want to be able to play this on my daily commute.

 

[Jade1962]

they never once said it was a remake. its always been a remaster...i dont even really get what the point of a remake would be considering how good the game looks in the first place

Remaster with the lost content

Hmm, not sure where you got that impression. It's always been touted as a remaster with the missing Japanese PS3 content as far as I can tell.

Ok this makes sense. Thanks for the correction. I just assumed it would be a remake. The comments in the thread about the performance make more sense now.

 

[Chucker]

For those waiting for news regarding X and Pro, I wouldn't.

Bandai/Namco still haven't patched Tekken 7 for X and it looks like muddied ass on a 4K set.
Soul Calibur is still broken on the Xbox/X.

They don't have a great track record.

 

[Linkura]

I figured PS4 would be the lead platform, and preordered accordingly despite also having a Switch. It's nice to be right.

 

[jeelybeans]

I just realized Switch has no trophies either so I can enjoy the game at my own pace.

Trophies always make me start feeling obligated to do everything lol.

Obviously I sitll want to see all the cutscenes, extra dungeons, and what not since I enjoy the characters and world of Vesperia. But the stress of the trophy goes away haha

 

[Pooroomoo]

Switch for me. It's the only way I have a chance at completing any game these days (more than that, I've never completed as many games on any console/PC as I do on Switch).

Why don't you just hide notifications? I did that, and haven't thought about trophies and achievements eve since.

 

[Menx64]

Switch version for me.

 

[NihilisticKing]

ps4 version it is then.

Same.

I do have notifications hidden but before I boot my game I still see the trophies and the percentages...

 

[SantaC]

PC with mods and 4k it is

 

[Chaosblade]

Max 4K resolution on PC is weird, don't know why restricted resolution options are still a thing.

More curious about the details of variable framerate. I doubt it's unlimited.

 

[Ravage]

I expected some improvements with the Pro version but it's not a big deal. The base PS4 version is basically perfect for my needs.

 

[Khanimus]

Literally nothing important or demanding happens outside of battle that would demand 60. This seems fine.

 

[ThatRandomCliff]

About what I expected for a Tales of Vesperia. Luckily the framerate out of battle isn't detrimental to the game play. Will be getting it on the Switch.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

PS4 it is. I'm looking forward to platinuming this. If I could do Xillia, I can do this.

 

[woman]

In battle 60fps is all I care about

 

[Kentaro Oe]

I've always wanted to play this, almost did on 360, but I'm glad i waited to get that extra stuff that only came out in Japan.

 

[asagami_]

I don't have a Switch yet so I guess I'm going to grab it for PS4. I'm pretty hyped for ToV since... 10 years ago? lol

 

[Ametroid]

Was debating whether to buy this for Switch or Base PS4, think I might go PS4

 

[Papercuts]

The fuck. So I should get it on a base ps4 over a 1x? :|

 

[Durante]

I hope the "Max 4k" on PC isn't true.

It doesn't make any sense, and it would be a downgrade from previous Tales releases.
On the other hand, if "variable framerate" means "more than 60 FPS" that would be a huge upgrade.

I7, 16GB RAM and a GTX 970 for 1080p/60 FPS?
This can't be right. We are talking about a 10 years old game here and this is getting me kinda worried about the port quality.

 

[Bomblord]

Switch having the same resolution as the other versions seals it as the version to get for me. Hope I get a chance to get it.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Switch it is. 30fps outside battle is a who cares for me.
Plus portable tales man

That’s the way I see it too

Footage from TGS seemed smooth. You can find them here in this thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/fi...-definitive-edition-on-nintendo-switch.69780/

 

[Ametroid]

I don't know, changing between 30fps and 60fps often will be quite distracting I think

 

[kvetcha]

Already preordered on Switch. “Equivalent to the original” is just fine with me.

 

[K.Jack]

Crossing my fingers in hoping that Variable Frame Rate on PC means, "whatever framerate you want", even far above 60fps.

 

[Green Slime King]

Works for me on Switch but the fuck is up with 30fps on Xbox?

 

[GhostTrick]

QLOC is porting it. Any reason they'd lock to 4k max ?
That max 4k might be japanese mistranslation I guess... I hope so :s

 

[Harp]

Is this a good place to start with Tales? I've never played any of the games, but that Switch version is tempting.

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Switch it is, started playing this one last generation but for some reason dropped it early on. Looking forward to taking it with me on the go.

I think/hope it is probably just an instance of "that's the highest we tested".

Especially if it's a QLOC port then that becomes much closer to "think" than "hope". They know the basics!

It is bamco, you should be worried.

 

[jeelybeans]

It's considered by many to be the best Tales game for the modern era and this one has a bunch of new content. So yes.

 

[Acquiesc3]

I adore this game, but not having pro support would be a no buy from me. I don't even care about 60 fps for this title, just give it to me in 4K.. that's not asking much for a 10 year old game.

 

[Juryvicious]

Switch version for me. Excellent home and portable port, how can I not? Super excited to play this again. One of my favorite games of the previous generation.

Same here. Being portable means I'll actually be able to put the time in to beat it. BotW taught me portability makes long epic games way more palatable.

 

[Enforcer]

Sigh.

Gonna be hard choice to make next month.

 

[Bitanator]

Switch for me, since I'll have KH3 in my PS4

 

[Derkon]

Looks like PS4 is the way to go for me.

[Navi]

On the few available videos of the Switch version running in handheld mode, the performance seems smooth. Granted, the videos were recorded at 30 fps, but it still looks great. Portable Tales of Vesperia, what a time to be alive.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

Everyone in here with the "10 year old game" and expectations of ease of porting what is basically the PS3 version (not the 360 version) to modern systems with the very high likelihood of mangled code. I'm not saying it's a thing to sweep aside, but you've got a Japanese dev porting a previously Japan-only version of a game where the lead console being ported to performs better than the others. they probably, basically, ported the PS3 version to PS4 then ported that to the Xbox and Switch, hence the lack of 60fps outside of battle (whether it matters or not is up for debate).

The "Max 4K" is probably "up to 4K" and that's as far as they tested because the people running it above that are incredibly few and far between. I'd be surprised if the number of people getting this more or less at launch and are wanting to play higher than 4K (read: at 8K) are in more than double digits.

 

[Rei dos Vermes]

I'm praying for ultrawide support on PC. Sorry, but I can't go back to 16:9 anymore.
