vikingtons, do games w I've been playing 'Ruby's Rebalanced HALO: CE' mod and it is fantastic.
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

ruby’s rebalanced is the only way I can play CE today via MCC.

I don’t have high hopes for 343 but I gather their CE remaster may expand upon what was available back in 2001 and reintroduce cut content.

chiliedogg,

343 is remastering Halo 1 again?

I don’t count CEA as a remaster so much as a piss take but apparently, yeah.

This is reported to be a pseudo UE5 port (think Oblivion Remastered (💀)) and will be available on PlayStation. The core of the game will apparently be derived from Halo Reach’s iteration of Blam engine. The “technical details” are all just rumours and you’ve every right to disregard, though the entry coming to PS5 is more or less acknowledged.

I don’t believe a multiplayer component is planned.

They are likely doing a remake this time.

Too bad since Google will be killing third party apps in 2026-2027 it wont work long anyways if it blocks unverified apps already installed

Oh man the Hell House made me chuckle because it was in the original and it’s just so absurd to see it in high definition graphics haha.

So happy to follow along with your screen shots. I love this series and game and it’s nice to see other people go through it too.

I ended up going to google it for the original and found out it was a common enemy. It just so outlandish i wanted to know what the original context was. It is interesting to know it was always kind of out of place though

naticus,

Lol I feel like they added it simply because of all the people saying that of all Midgar enemies, there’s no way it’d fit in. Tbf, they truly jumped the shark with this one out of spite for what they could or should do in their game.

Did you play the first one in the reboot trilogy?

There’s a bit where she has to kill somebody in self defence and then breaks down over it, before spending the entire rest of the game plonking arrows through people’s skulls.

Yes, I played the first video game. She was slowly becoming a sociopath in that one. By the third one, she is a sociopath.

Have you played Nier (the first one, not automata)? It relates to your observation

I haven’t. I’ll check it out

The hell house fight is when I stopped playing the game. I think they did a good work with FFVII Remaster but… I also think that it’s really bad that you can’t go back to a place and go farming, that the materias cannot be moved so if you tried something that you did not like then tough luck fighting with whatever team you have.

Plus, I really miss the farming and the lack of “let me just fight some monsters for the sake of it”.

BradleyUffner, (edited )

Wait a sec. I’ve been considering getting this game, and you’re telling me they took out the ability to just wander around and fight respawning enemies? That’s a core memory I have of the original. There is no way I’m getting it if that’s been removed.

7112,

No. You can backtrack a little bit. Just like how in the first game, you get trapped in certain areas till the story progresses.

You can grind in a back area as soon as you get to Sector 7, similar to the first game.

Respawn rates aren’t that great, there is a mod that ups them on PC.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Now that you mention it, it is a bit odd that there’s no farming. I’ve never really noticed it until you pointed it out

As weird as this sounds, the screenshots make me want to play the original FF7.

I tried it back in the day, but my frame of reference was FO1/2, Might and Magic, etc., so the general JRPG style seemed off.

I am willing to give it another go 25+ years later. There are also seem to be aot of good mods for FF7.

vateso5074, (edited )

There are a few asset upscaler projects that might be worth looking into, but also be careful which version of the game you play, as not all mods support the same versions.

There is the PC 1998 port. Being from a time before controller support on PC was a thing, you’ll have to really try to weasel in controller support somehow if you want it. Some parts of the PlayStation release (glitches and spelling mistakes) are fixed, but it introduces many bugs of its own. Character models have mouths. Supports mods, but a lot of the go-tos may be pretty old and harder to find at this point, and you’ll really need a lot of QoL mods to make the experience workable.

There is the PC 2012 port, which is a (lightly) remastered version of the 1998 port. Character models still have mouths. Contains further localization changes from the 1998 port. It runs far better on modern systems than the 1998 port, adds some (not great not terrible) controller support, and some of the features from popular QOL mods that people used to add to the 1998 version are baked in. This is the version that is currently sold on Steam. Also supports mods.

Then there is the 2015 mobile/console port, which is further adapted from the 2012 PC port. Character models have mouths removed to be closer to the PS1 style. Introduces achievements, better native controller support (still far from perfect), and slightly better support for larger resolution displays. This is the version you can buy on the Xbox Store for PC. Basically no mod support because Xbox App games are very locked down, but it includes the “boost” (cheat) features that Square Enix has included in other Final Fantasy ports (toggles to speed up time, characters do max damage, no encounters) which some may hate the inclusion of, but do make it easier to just play the game for the story if you’re looking for zero grind.

@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

Cheers. I am actually looking for a KB+M experience for Final Fantasy 7, I know, a bit strange.

The 2012 PC version seems like the best bet. That being said, I have a modding guide bookmarked that seemed very comprehensive, need to just go for it.

vateso5074,

Not strange at all, it’s not as though it’s a particularly action-y game.

If someone wanted to play FF7 Remake/Rebirth on M&K, I might have a few more questions, but speaking as someone who still plays a lot of FPS games with controller, you’ll never hear me tell someone that their preferred style is wrong.

nnullzz,

It’s actually 60% ($4.79) right on Steam. Snatching this up today!

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not big on any sort of full fledged ATB, which is the reason i play the remake over the original. But from what i’ve seen the original is still highly praised and worth going back too. I’d agree and sat give it a go, worst that can happen is you try it and go “Nope, i don’t think this is for me”.

There is a shitty 2007 TV movie by ČT Studio Brno (at this point, “shitty” is redundant) Kája a Zabi, where the protagonist, little boy Kája, mashes his keyboard in frustration, causing an off-brand Lara Croft to appear IRL. I haven’t seen the movie but she allegedly speaks broken Czech in a weirdly modulated voice, and keeps asking who Kája wants her to kill (“zabít”, hence the nickname she gets). I assume she is just about as psychopathic as Lara.

Lara sneaking around a camp. Finds a letter one of the mercs wrote to his little daughter. He just wants to come home to her and only took the job to pay for her expensive private school.

She slams her climbing pick into his eye socket.

sirboozebum,

Is this for real? Never played the game.

Zahille7,

It’s just a joke because that’s exactly the kind of thing you can expect to find/do.

In the first reboot especially, since it’s on a Bermuda-Triangle-type island off Japan where everyone who’s landed there ends up marooned because of a magical storm/hurricane that keeps it hidden, so you’ll find letters and whatnot from soldiers of all different eras including the very soldiers you fight in-game.

JandroDelSol, do games w Lara Croft is a Sociopath

yeah but she has triangle tiddies

At least in some stealth games you can avoid confrontation and killing.
