Chrono Cross’ Wonky Port Finally Getting Some Fixes

It was virtually a yr in the past that Square Enix launched Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, a “remastered” model of the 1999 traditional on the PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch that, nearly as good as the unique recreation was, was additionally a really dangerous port.

Here, amongst different issues, are a number of the complaints we had final April when first taking part in the sport on an OLED Switch:

• Elaborate, pre-rendered backgrounds now look blurry and smeared
• 3D character fashions, rendered in increased res, stick out like a sore thumb within the new environments
• Combat usually stutters and feels unresponsive
• There aren’t save states (however there may be auto-saving within the overworld)
• There’s no choice to swap graphical types on the fly
• FMVs haven’t all the time been upscaled cleanly
• The HD fonts are clear however look misplaced

See what I imply? A nasty port! The recreation, and followers, deserved higher. And higher is what they’re about to get, with Square Enix promising an replace coming later this month that may attempt to repair a number of the model’s issues. How lots of them they’ll repair, and the way properly they’ll repair them is anybody’s guess, however addressing them is at the least a begin.
