Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Cutscene Screenshots

Now that we know that the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster release will be on December 26th in Japan, we can finally have a closer look at how high def some of the cut scenes will be. The HD remaster is clearly miles better than the original graphically and the screenshots do not disappoint, showing off incredible visual emotions from Tidus and Yuna. Take a look at the screenshots and let us know what you think!

I wish they remastered the cutscenes better in GOW collection. It was odd how the actual game looked better then the cutscenes lol. Good job here though. =)

Pozzle3831d ago

The same goes for the Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica HD releases. The gameplay sections looked great, but the cutscenes were fuzzy/pixelated as hell.

FamilyGuy3831d ago

Dag-namit!
I'm really gonna have to buy this game again lol
I've still got my PS2 version and save files. FF10 is probably my 2nd favorite game of all time though behind Castlevania Symphony of the Night. Though worth of criticism, my 3rd is WKCs 2: I loved the game, the online community and you just can't play a game for over 2000 hours without admitting it's your favorite lol. RiP the online servers though.

Back on topic, definitely picking this remaster up. The PS4 will keep me occupied till it releases in the U.S. though.

GotEnder3831d ago

i cant decide if i will get the vita or ps3 version, im assuming cross buy would be asking to much?

Stsonic3831d ago

Would be nice to have super HD remake for PS4

haftarun83831d ago

That and/or PC. Could've just used the cutscene assets for the whole realtime game engine, doing a full DX11 version (including full camera and object motion blur, bokeh dof, and dx11 MSAA that also handles alpha textures like Crysis3's implementation (maybe some adaptive supersampling AA options too while I'm at it?))that would port to PC and PS4 pretty seamlessly. Dev bang for your buck, and everyone wins! Sadly it probably won't happen :(.

Taislin3831d ago

The first two and the last one are not cutscene screenshots

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow214d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga214d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183213d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB214d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic213d ago (Edited 213d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo213d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic213d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

FFX and FFX-2 Do Not Need a Sequel

As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.

If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.

shinoff2183342d ago

The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3

-Foxtrot342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

Nope

https://www.finaland.com/?r...

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously

"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"

Thank God anyway

It's better when each FF is a different Universe

Snookies12342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

CrimsonWing69342d ago

@Snookies12

I thought they said that was just a joke:

―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”

―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”

―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.

Name Last Name342d ago

@Snookies12 those are just easter eggs

-Foxtrot342d ago

@Snookies12

Easter eggs man nothing more

Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected

I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day

Flawlessmic344d ago

Nope but I sure would love a remake of ffx, my fav ff game along with 9.

JokerBoy129342d ago

Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.

shinoff2183342d ago

I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo

Abnor_Mal342d ago (Edited 342d ago )

I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark

Okay didn’t see others already said it

gold_drake344d ago

technically, they already do. in form of a novel and audio thing.

but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.

not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.

shinoff2183342d ago

Sorry for the spoiler if true

Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.

Name Last Name342d ago

Yes, the Fayth ask Yuna if she wants to see him and they dream him up again.

shinoff2183342d ago

Thanks. That pretty much what I read.
