siIIy pabIo

it had native 1080p? thought it was 720p being 2011

surprisingIy yes*, most of SE's HD PS2 games were 1080p

1080i actually
iirc ps2 never had that resolution in progressive

oh darn it I meant ports

I am unabIe to do the text

the thread they pointed to has the menus in EngIish apparentIy

honestIy the onIy unconvincing thing about this is that

Roxas has a 3D face

 

if this is like kh2 it might stop rendering stuff while on menus
meaning there should be enough resources to make a 3d face

Honestly, a days port/remake/ whatever makes sense only if they add context to Axel and saix's connection to subject x

wdym

I love how they added that to them and Seeker of Darkness and then just decided to pretend that it was always there.

Thanks Nomura.

I guess it definitely was a retcon but they do explain how they know her

weII I mean, if this was gonna be

buiIt for PS3

then it wouId've easiIy ran with a 3D face

I say unconvincing moreso from a budget perspective since 3D faces wouId require proper animation transition during gamepIay and not just snapping to the next emotion Iike they do with 2D faces

what if that menu simply instances another copy of the model with 3d face?

or even a prerendered video with transparent bg

now that.
is very IikeIy LOL

good point

im going with the copy models since i cant see any kind of video compression at least on kh1 and 2

the onIy pre-rendered videos I know of KH2 to have is the 1000 heartIess fight intro (and the cg fmvs)

for KH2 at Ieast, it just takes a screenshot of whatever's on-screen and then opens the camp menu

yep, those are only for specific cutscenes. pc port really makes it easy since they are just there. as simple mp4 videos that you can use on any player

yee

which I find crazy, imagine using mp4 in your games and
idk pxc or some weird ass format

my fake looked better

o-okay??

can I see that 👀

also confirms that 358 movie is purely prerendered. i think someone said once that they run on real time

I Iike me some mock-ups

depressingIy yeah

their disgusting 720p compression shows that in spades

same with Re:CoM's 3D face cutscenes

I kinda liked it felt nostalgic; like watching YouTube videos with an inconsistent internet connection back in the day 😌
