Last February, we got some exciting newsthe coming of Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers on the machinery of PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and on PC. The title is available Digital Foundry took the opportunity to analyze the various editions on video recently, and delivers some relevant information. “Inferior performance to the PS1 game”, the team does not go out of its way in its remarks.
To sum it all up briefly, with graphics in “classic” mode, players are viewing a raw and slobbery image, originally designed for 240p screens. For 3D objects, the resolution varies between 900p and 936p. the frameratehe is “worse than the original game”. During the fights, the game drops in the 15-20 fps, even in the 10 fps when the screen is crowded (during a big spell for example). Ditto during certain phases of exploration, the number of images per second switches… There is also Stutteringjerks, at the end of a confrontation, something that is not present in the 1999 version. In short, and you will have understood it, it is not too much joy…
For once, we invite you to watch these few minutes to learn about the visual differences. Of course, fans hope that patches will be released soon to solve these little problems of framerate. Wait and see…
