[Big Green Anus]

Ocarina of Time quality compared to the awful Star Ocean 5.

‘Kay

 

[Seik]

Fuck yes, will buy on PC for sure.

I fucking loved SO4...I know I'm in a minority though lol.

 

[brawly]

Nappy time in 4K

 

[CaviarMeths]

Well, I actually finished SO4, which is more than I can say about SO5.

'Kay.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Was SO 4 the one where some amazing gifs came out of? If so, will be more than happy to see 4K remastered versions available.

 

[graywolf323]

wish they'd give us SO1 & 2 instead :-/

edit: I know SO2 came to PS4 in Japan and it sucks that it didn't come to the West >_<

 

[Alric]

Pc, wonder if a certain 'Kay monster can be modded out or muted. Yes, this could be ok.

 

[Infernostew]

Of all the games they could remaster...'Kay.

 

[Sentenza]

You have to wonder who asked for this.

 

[Fdkn]

but why

 

[KillerMan91]

Fuck yes, will buy on PC for sure.

I fucking loved SO4...I know I'm in a minority though lol.

Same. I guess it helped that my first time was International version and so I could avoid the awful english dub. Damn character art was bad though.

 

[Jubern]

Why...?

Give me idk, Valkyrie Profile 2

Spoiler

I liked SO5 and you should feel bad for trashing it.

 

[Relix]

Not even worth it free.

 

[Aru]

SO4 was so much fun for me
Don’t know if I would play it again, but it’s nice to see Star Ocean on PC

 

[thekiddfran]

Damn so the shit PS3 game.

I would have prefered a remake of the PS2 game

 

[Fiendcode]

Oof. Star Ocean should’ve been a trilogy only.

 

[poncle]

Great news, hope it will be released in the west too!
Will be great on PC with all that pointless grinding modded out.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

‘Kay

 

[Kyoufu]

How about they remaster one of their good games instead, like Valkyrie Profile 2?

 

[Pooya]

Did tri-ace make this? Are they still alive? It's on their propriety engine, I'm guessing it's not outsourced.

Of all things to remaster, they do this shit though?

 

[Lightning Lord]

Ocarina of Time quality compared to the awful Star Ocean 5.

I'd rather replay 5 than deal with the likes of Edge, Faize, and Lymle again. And Meracle. Heck the entire cast was pretty much insufferable.

 

[Bishop89]

die in a fire Lymle

 

[Yohane]

Why not a Star Ocean trilogy?

 

[Grim Patron]

Not even worth it free.

[OVDRobo]

If you mean this one:

then no. That's Infinite Undiscovery.

Can't imagine too many people will be excited for this. We need a new, good Tri-Ace game someday.

 

[Zafir]

Ocarina of Time quality compared to the awful Star Ocean 5.

They're both erghhhh.........

Star Ocean 4 is basically only propped up by its decent gameplay. At least with 5 I didn't want to rip my ears off during 75% of the cutscenes.

 

[Chobel]

Of all their games, SE decided to remaster this?

 

[poncle]

How about they remaster one of their good games instead, like Valkyrie Profile 2?

VP2 is a technical mess built around the very specific PS2 hardware, it's very unlikely we'll ever see a port of that game unfortunately.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

but why

Things like Star Ocean Anamnesis, Star Ocean 3 HD and Star Ocean 4 HD are keeping the IP warm before Star Ocean 6 announcement Doubters gonna doubt, but they know it's coming.

 

[eternalcircle]

More realistic doll like expressions!

 

[SliceSabre]

Nah I'm good.

 

[RS4-]

Star Ocean stopped at 2 for me.

 

[ULTROS!]

Will buy.

I want to see this in amazing 4K: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlN4E-1I80Q

 

[cm osi]

that's not a game i'm gonna buy again.

i enjoyed it, killed the ethereal queen and got all the endings (iirc) but i'm not gonna play it again

 

[Laplasakos]

This would be great but i doubt it's happening.

At least the IP is not dead.

 

[Cikay]

I'd rather replay 5 than deal with the likes of Edge, Faize, and Lymle again. And Meracle. Heck the entire cast was pretty much insufferable.

Yeah ok but if you skip the cut-scenes, SO4 is actually a good Star Ocean, with multiple planets, a lot of locations, dungeons and content.

SO5 felt so small and had no sense of a grand scale and epic adventure. That's really bad for a Star Ocean.

 

[Call Me A Hero]

Looks like tri-Ace is remastering their old games these days.

I would love to see a complete experience of Infinite Undiscovery, the way tri-Ace wanted to make before meeting the deadline by MS.

 

[Transistor]

4? Ewww

I want a good HD remaster of 2

 

[ViciousDS]

sweet......the one that actually has camera cut, cutscenes


star ocean 5 I couldn't survive more than 30 minutes......static cameras in conversations and everything destroyed it for me.

 

[rulerk1]

I had fun with it so I’m hype. Might even platinum it this time

 

[OrionX]

I think I've had my fill of this game. I nearly drove myself to the edge of insanity to get the platinum for it. Ah, memories~

 

[ULTROS!]

SO5 felt so small and had no sense of a grand scale and epic adventure. That's really bad for a Star Ocean.

I'd say SO4 was what I imagined from SO: actual space travel. None of the other SO games fulfilled my desire for interplanetary travel. Minus the cutscenes of course.

 

[Tsunamo]

Plot aside I had a lot of fun with the gameplay.

Might endup picking it up again considering I had to suffer through the long loadtimes and diskswapping of the 360 version if it comes West.

 

[jrush64]

This game.... kay

 

[Dark_castle]

Eww no thanks. Gimme Infinite Undiscovery port instead.

 

[thelastword]

Lol, since when is this game hated so...?

 

[Kyoufu]

Lol, since when is this game hated so...?

Since it came out.

 

[Transistor]

Since it came out.
