Excuse me for a second, I need to use the toilet… Everything that was wrong with the game 13 years ago is still here, and given how far we’ve come in terms of gaming, some of those issues are even more apparent this time around.ĭid the developers add anything to this new version? Yes they did. Gameplay-wise, the game still maintains everything I mentioned in the previous paragraph. No new lighting effects, no improved texturing, no new shadow effects, not a single framerate improvement.
This version is nothing more than a direct port, with no visual improvements other than its new resolution during normal gameplay, as the FMVs are still in the original resolution, looking quite ugly in the process.
To put in simple terms, the Xbox One version of Phantom Dust isn’t a remaster, like Microsoft is trying to convince you in the Xbox Live store.
Couldn’t even be bothered to upscale the FMVs?
