First of all, the two most obvious things: prerendered objects.

FFX is somewhere between PS1 era FF, and full 3D. It uses many 2D backgrounds in areas where the camera doesn't move. These are most likely being remastered in HD

The cutscenes operate on a similar principle, they need to redone in HD and in widescreen. Actually, they don't HAVE to be, many HD remakes have lazily reused the same CGI, in a 4:3 resolution... but I can't see Square Enix doing that.

Another thing, however, is that the cutscenes are probably being redone. Watch the opening, it's ridiculously jittery. It's somewhat masked by the low resolution, which makes it look more like pixels popping around than anything else, however, when upscaled to 1080p using PCSX2 or something to that effect, it's RIDICULOUSLY noticeable. I'm betting Square Enix is taking the time to make their cutscenes not be so awkwardly animated

 

The opening is pre-rendered. And I guess being an early PS2 game doesn't help that.

 

I'd like to think they are making a Final Fantasy X HD Collection. Both X and X-2. After all they're going to have to do something about X-2 and XII. They've done a lot for the first nine.

I thought it might have been to perfect the voice acting, but I haven't been keeping up on if it will be released overseas so maybe not.

You made me want 1.5 even more than I already did.

There's nothing TOO keep up with. We haven't seen anything new, and we don't know anything new

No it's not. If it were prerendered it wouldn't be upscalable (Or at least, it wouldn't look like it)

Is that so? I guess they didn't want a repeat of FF13 Versus. Well, I hope your theory is right since it would make FFX HD one of the better remakes apparently.

Actually, it's pretty similar to Versus, just worse. They announced the game, and since then we've heard a few words and seen one piece of art.

At least Versus has trailers

Yes, it is pre-rendered. And you can upscale pre-rendered cutscenes. I upscale pre-rendered scenes all the time.

It's actually a remaster. Square Enix confirmed it was a remaster about a year ago. IGN have an article on it.

If it's prerendered, it's prerendered at 480i or 480p. The FFX cutscene can be upscaled, stuff like the KH intros CAN'T be upscaled

I should note I'm talking about TRUE 1080p and such here. As in, more pixels. Not stretching or something

Wow, I hope it isn't this bad for Kh3. Assuming I'm not just looking through rose-tinted glasses and DDD and 1.5/2.5 are the KH version.

Lol, I always just tried to say FFX HD to avoid getting it wrong. I actually saw your topic clearing up the difference between a remake and a remaster also. I'll probly remember now, thanks.

I don't know about Final Fantasy's pre-rendered cutscenes. But as for Kingdom Hearts. They're very low. If they were uploaded to YouTube in their original resolution it would come out as 240p. This is why our Re:Com, KH/KHFM and KH2 pre-rendered cutscenes are only 360p.

Well the CGI looks terrible in terms of resolution when I play on PCSX2 at 720p or higher

I just explained why. They're a very low resolution.

I was just pointing out that FFX probably has a similar resolution to KH

Anyways, the point is, FFX's opening isn't prerendered

Have you extracted the pre-renders?

Why would I have to. I've already proven that it's not prerendered.

That's a regular cutscene, not CGI.

That's the opening I was talking about. The one you claimed was prerendered.

Yeah, the opening to X was definitely a tad...shaky. As were many of the regular cutscenes, for that matter. I'm assuming they would have to clear that up in an HD version, though I do wonder exactly how HD they intend to make it...

Or better than an HD collection of both X and X-2, how 'bout a short prequel containing Braska, Jecht and Auron as well?  I heard they were considering making that be the storyline for X-2 originally.  And, personally, I think it'd make a terrific game.  I've always been fascinated by their side of the story.

I still expect this come out before Versus.

Anything comes out before Versus lol. 

I like to think they're just making a PS2 FF Anthology, taking all the PS2 Fantasies and putting them in a collection. I doubt thats actually whats happening but whatevs.
