Support NeoGAF

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Thought the specs and visual changes are worth a separate thread.

The PC version introduces new features and customizations to take full advantage of the platform:

LIGHTING - Lighting has been adjusted, and the game's overall rendering of light is significantly improved. The updated areas and cutscenes present with even greater beauty and clarity than before.

FRAMERATE AND RESOLUTION - NVIDIA DLSS support means that frame rates can be enhanced and image quality upscaled. There is now also support for variable refresh rate (VRR).

TEXTURES - The Level of Detail (LoD) for background models and MIP maps for background textures can both be freely configured in the options settings. With this background polygon density and texture density can be set higher than was previously possible, allowing for gameplay with higher-quality graphics.

PC SPECS

CONTROLLER INPUT SUPPORT
Connecting a DualSense® controller with a PC allows players to use the same controls as the PS5 version. Keyboard and mouse support has also been added, alongside the option to freely customize the controls between world exploration and combat or mini-games.

STEAM DECK - The Steam version is planned to be playable on Steam Deck as well.

They seem a bit high for what the game offers in terms of graphics. The lighting, lod, shadows and textures were not great in the console version, I am curious to see if the pc version will fix all this

 

[Ailike]

Im curious, all other things being equal, is anything in Win 11 additive above 10? Or is it just on the chart for reasons?

 

[Lootlord]

Is there a part 3 coming or is part 1/2 the full FF7 remake?

 

[ElFenomeno]

Is there a part 3 coming or is part 1/2 the full FF7 remake?

Yes, part 3 is the end of the trilogy. 2027 most likely.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Waiting for part 3 before buying these two.

 

[Lootlord]

Ok thanks. So noch rush to play these... gonna wait for a trilogy bundle or so

 

[mopspear]

The recommended specs are slightly less than FF16. FF16 runs great for me so I think I'll be fine.

 

[mèx]

Looks good. I'm mostly worried about stuttering, we will see.

 

[spons]

Month old news?

 

[Outlier]

My hardware is ready for the Ultra experience.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Will these dudes be smart enough to include a shader precompile before starting the game?

 

[CliffBronger]

Why low settings requires win10 and the others two require win11 is baffling.

 

[iQuasarLV]

Can I get a summary? Some of us work at places that actively block social media at the firewall.

 

[Calverz]

I feel like this will be a bomba

 

[rofif]

I am telling you.. that 5080 with 16gb is dead on arrival if games use that much at 4k today

Appears you need HW RT as a hard requirement. So no GTX or RX 5000 series.

Month old news?

Yes

That would be a no considering quality of SE’s ports usually and subsequent lack of patches.

There's a screenshot that's night and day floating around

Some ps5 shots just so we get the reference.
This is quality mode on base ps5:

They’re not even the same screenshot. The PS5 version once again has that bug where textures don’t load.

Lets show now the not so good looking parts

This is unacceptable

it's a joke. I've taken both on ps5

 

[DenchDeckard]

Please add a good shader compilation.

I don't want not of that stutter struggle....

...I'm ready and fully expecting there to be stutter struggle.

Why focus on bad when I can show good.
(I posted example of bad lod above too lol)

Remake had (perhaps still has?) stutter issues regardless of shaders. This being open world in an old UE4 version, it's kinda scary.

 

[GrayChild]

I know it's a hot topic right now, but Square should definitely migrate to UE5 for the last game. Most of the issues with the engine were up until v 5.3, and the tech is mature enough to handle the scope of the game.

Making UE4 punch way beyond its weight truly shows.

Don't think they can justify the cost, lol.

That what I hated about it, just remake the old game in one game and get it done! SE is milking the shit out of this game and wonders why sales are declining

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

16gb of VRAM is a disgrace for those new 5000 cards

 

[namenotfound]

I'm looking forward to seeing how ugly it looks on a Steam Deck to approximate what may be possible on a Switch 2

 

[Self_Destructive]

Yeah it does. You can actually fix it though, if you set -dx11 in the properties, and then use DXVK-gplasync. There's also a config file you have to create for DXVK-gplasync, but it's super easy. After that, no stuttering at all, not even running around all the Slums and Wall Market.

Somehow though, I suspect with the DX12U requirements that this game won't have a DX11 path available so DXVK will be out of the question. Hopefully the improvements they've made to their streaming tech specifically for Rebirth and it's open world, can translate onto the PC version as well. I'm doubtful.

 

[Certinty]

I just completed this on the PS5 Pro last week and regardless what I think about the actual game, are you seriously telling me the lighting will only be improved on the PC version?

Honestly, it’s so beyond bad when you go from a bright place to a dark one and vice versa it’s laughable the game even launched like that.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The pieke of shite hopefully will be smooth but Unreel 5 has issues

FF7 Rebirth launching for PC 1/23/25

Seems like a fair few are picking up part 1 on steam. Small but steady increasing player count past few weeks. Been playing it non-stop the past few days to prepare for Rebirth. I bought it on Steam years ago, but never played it due to the game suffering from stutters and not fps drops on my...

Nice added to OP.

Edit: ignore see this is just duplicate info!

 

[Synless]

I can’t explain how amused I am it has steam deck support but they didn’t release on ps4. No wonder they were disappointed in their sales, they shot themselves in their fucking foot.

Steam Deck’s CPU and memory subsystem are faster than the PS4’s.

 

[proandrad]

No way in hell do I trust this game to not be a stutter fest on pc.

 

[flying_sq]

We will need a demo on PC, Remake wasn't that much of an improvement over PS4.

 

[Imtjnotu]

i doubt the Garbage ass textures were fixed.......

this is one of the worst visual games ive ever played

 

[squidilix]

Mod Edit: Duplicate thread. Merged with the old one.​

Any mentions of DLSS, FSR or XeSS?
I mean, the game running at 1152p on Performance Mode on PS5. (Wich is Graphical Quality Medium but better than 1080p) But the game is Blurry as hell.
Oh boy, I dunno why.. but reconstructing under 1080p (with DLSS / FSR) looks like is a fking mess on this game.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Wonder if we'll see a demo

Its big open world and while you are basing opinion on ps5 version, it was 30fps at 4k or unstable 60 at 1080p something, so that already show sits either optimization or what they have running under hood. Also 5600 with 2070 super is lower mid-end pc tier now, so thats not that demanding.You can literary build pc like that for price of disc model ps5
