A bit disappointed by HD 1.5

I thought you were talking about 3D graphics not cameras.

 

Why would I change the topic from KH1's camera to games that used 3D models?

 

Don't ask me.

 

Plus, some days scene are still in the original quality for like 2-3 seconds, and that is VERY bad, I mean, that should be an HD remaster. And, for some reason, in a few scenes Roxas has Sora's face. That was an issue also in KH2, where in some cutscenes he has Sora's face and in others he has Ven's face.

 

What? Source please.

 

The scene of the battle between Roxas and Riku, for example

 

you are gonna have to link me with a video and time because i don't see anything.

 

Do you have the game? If you have it on a HD screen you can see well some parts where there are quality's downgrades. Unfortunately on a video you can't see well the downgrade because of the lower resolution

 

Yeah but im not going to watch it all again. Its probably the scenes that were already recorded in the DS version. They are still 720p but compressed differently.

 

I haven't chcked personally, but I'm fairly certain nothing in the Days movies is recorded. Pretty sure it's all ingame

 

i noticed it during that scene. it was weird, it was pretty blurry at times and then crystal clear again afterwards.

well they had David Gallagher for the 358/2 Days scenes, so they could've had him voice his FM scenes. i don't think he sounds TOO different than he did in KH1.


anyways my thoughts on 1.5. it was good other than a few nitpicks. my list of nitpicks include:

1. no remixed music for RE:COM? i thought it was weird that they used all the old soundtracks for that game even though Final Mix had the new ones. the new ones sounded better (it's also one of the reasons i really like this collection)

2. the reaction command being the same button as the Assist button for your allies. i'm conflicted on this one, i like that they made it triangle to open chests and talk. but it can be annoying accidently using Sonic Blade when you just want your allies to come to you. it's not game breaking but still mildly annoying.

3. the no show fights in 358/2 days. we would see the characters prepare to battle but then the fight would be over after a brief pause that looks like a commercial break. it's weird, they could've had brief fights like some of the ones in RE:COM. or they could've at the very least shown Roxas slash at his opponents or something.

4. no Theatre mode for KH1 FM. i thought it was weird that this game didn't have it. i guess it was coded too differently than later installments?

5. not sure if this one is a legitimate nitpick but. was it just me or was this game like SUPER bright? i had to lower the brightness on my TV because it felt like they were trying to make me go blind -_-

6. no recolored Heartless in RE:COM. a minor nitpick, but after having them in Final Mix, it sort of creates a disconnect between the two games. i guess the lack of remixed music also contributes to this disconnect.

that's all the ones i could think of. it was in no particular order. they're all nitpicks of mine and none are really deal breakers for me. i thought that 1.5 was pretty good despite those tiny things and probably some other things that don't come to mind right now.

 

They COULD have, but the original didn't have it, and had specific sound effects for when they were meant to speak, why would they change it?

 

No I have the files extracted. They are all in MP4 1280X720 with audio bitrate around 280. Same with reCoM. Remade music is also separate.

 

Wow really? That seems like an incredible waste of space on their part

 

Makes it easier for playback and not having to code for the ps3. Instead of using the power of the ps3 you can use the power of a PC and have it rendered at whatever quality you want with no frame drops. BTW PS3 disc holds 50GB.

 

Well here's my question
If it's prerendered
Why not 1080p?
There's literally no reason not to have that

 

i say why not? they had the VA and they touched upon quite a bit of other things, it's not like they just threw KH1FM in as is. i don't think it would've been too far out of their way since they were doing brand new dubbing for 358/2 Days anyway.

 

Because; The voice actors voices have changed, they'd need them to try and replicate the ways their voices DID sound like , and to say the least I don't even think the original FM versions had voice actors for the extra cutscenes.

As for the camera, I never noticed an issue , the only thing I never liked in KH1 was the fact you couldn't roam about in first person view as in KH2 but this is a minor complaint as the original never had this either , other than that the only thing realistically I am disappointed at is the trophies , especially to the point where it's almost impossible to gain the Platinum without playing it 3 times over and then having to do the gummi ship missions; Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind playing the game 3 times over but the worst aspect of KH1 In general for me was the Gummi ship, which I can't complain about too much.

The problem is the actual trophy means having to complete every Gummi ship mission level 1 2 and 3 to get all the Blueprint designs; In which case is almost impossible for Hollow bastions missions.

Realistically if they were revamping and remaking the whole thing it would have taken a lot longer because apparently I heard they were starting from scratch without anything pre rendered , so I'm still pretty happy with it.

 

Idk. Probably space. Becuase all of days and recom were prerendered and it would have been huge.

 

Again though; Would It have sounded right if the original characters voices had changed, as far as I know sora's voice had changed, Riku's stayed the same. I think the reason they did 358/2 Days was because they HAD to , a HD remix wouldn't be HD if it had the DS's fuzzy sound bit output but I'm open to debate on that one , I doubt they will dub KH2.5 remix as they hadn't dubbed the special cut scene's for that either but I could be wrong for this because the voices still sound closer to KH2's voices than they did to KH 1.5
