"Chrono Cross" Remastered Version Face Performance Problems. Porting of transplantation following "Chrono Trigger"

"Chrono Cross: Radical Dolly Mars Edition" seems to be facing severe evaluations from the release to a few days. The PC version has a severe opinion on a STEAM user review, etc., and the problem is pointed out for the console version. The cause of the game seems to be a game performance issue.

"Chrono Cross: Radical Dolly Mars Edition" is the remastered version of "Chrono Cross" released in 1999 in the first playerStation. Masterpieces and famous RPGs are drawn as a work that follows the "Chrono Trigger", and a magnificent adventure will be drawn across the two worlds. According to the STEAM page, the remastered version of the D4 enterprise name is described as a remasted enix.

In this remastered version, "3D model HD reduction" "Callais Last" "Sound quality of BGM" was included. In addition, the ability to improve the ease of play, such as enemies Encount ON / OFF function or function to make the battle easier. Besides, the sound novel "Radical Dolly Merso-no-stealing gem" that became a prototype of this work scenario is also included. PS4 / Xbox One / Nintendo Switch is released on April 8, April 7, April 8th. In the official Twitter account, it was thought that the questions from the user also responded to the needs, such as answering the mame, etc. However, this work seems to be facing severe rating from fans.

STEAM User Review in this work is a "pros and cons" status that attracts 656 posts at the same past 656 posts and evaluations. A status of negative opinions from domestic and foreign users can. And, as a problem, it is a problem that is the performance of this remaster version that stand out in particular. Specifically, the phenomenon in which the frame rate falls sharply due to combat or some scenes, is reported. Also, this phenomenon seems to occur not only for the PC version but also in the console version. Digital Foundry, which provides technical analysis of game software / hard with YouTube, etc., publishes analysis results for this work.

Digital Foundry says that the remastered version is "more performance than the first PS". If you actually check the verification videos, the operation in PS5 using backward compatibility to PS4 has the result of the fact that the frame rate tends to be lower than the original version of the primary PS. Also, the same tendency was seen in the Nintendo Switch version. Although the original PS version is low, it seems that it can be said that it will work stably. On the other hand, in the remastered version, when the drawing is switched to a classic mode close to the original version, it is also conveyed to be a relatively improved frame rate.

In addition, in this PC version, there is also a voice that has improved by setting change from the GPU control panel as well as "changing the anti-aliasing setting." In any case, it seems that it is only possible to deal with the user for a while. Backgrounds that occurred such performance issues will also have a background that "Chrono Cross" was a highly transplantable work. In Q & A by the official Twitter account, Q & A "original version program and graphic data were not complete." In the remaster, it is thought that a considerable part was reconstituted and reconstituted, and such strikes are likely to expand as a performance issue.

In addition, Mr. Hononono Hononori involved in the original version is also comment on Twitter for these issues. Honon is involved in the art director in "Chrono Cross" and is currently a monolith software director. According to him, the original version of "Chrono Cross" has been reported that the programmers were working hard not to interfere with the problem with the frame rate due to the variable frame rate specification. It is a valuable testimony by the party. When combined with the answer by the above Q & A, the wonderful craftsman of the original version is likely to be a challenge due to the dissipation of the source code.

Due to performance issues, "Chrono Cross: Radical Dolly Mars Edition" that has become slightly painful. At present, it seems that it is only possible to relax with the user side settings. The "Chrono Trigger" released in STEAM also faced with the lack of optimization, including graphics, and largely lowered the user rating. After that, the update is conducted for the same work. Improvement is applied and the evaluation is recovered. I want to expect that there is a similar response.
