Grandia HD Collection for Nintendo Switch brings two great JRPGs into HD while adapting them well for the hybrid console.
Review - Grandia HD Collection on Xbox may not appeal to everyone, but those drawn to it will find this to be a great package.
I assume there is a pc version of this? Never got to play these games back in the day so it's tempting to try them out now.
Angelus Victor said: The 90s and 2000s era of gaming is both nostalgic and underrated at the same time. So many series got their start, not knowing how the future of gaming would be back in day. Well,nostalgia is definitely the king, so it’s not uncommon to see old games remastered in HD so that you can play them on your modern console. Now, does Grandia HD Collection live up to the expectations? Well, it’s complicated.
and this after the director said that "they'd "have to make 4k textures if it were ever to come to playstation and others"
I'm still buying Physically. Nice to get these older games on modern consoles. I'm not overly worried about 60fps 4k resolutions and all that if I'm being honest.
The Nerd Stash: "NPCs are assets, not obstacles in the Grandia HD Collection. The music is beautiful but used as a backdrop, allowing you to focus on the game's diverse worlds. Characters from each game are charming, with the first game having a better protagonist, and the second having a superior supporting cast. The battle systems are still unique to this day, and these games are now fully democratized to all of the major home gaming markets. It's timeless for connoisseurs of the classics, and essential for those seeking a truly unique JRPG."
Bring this onto the ps4 please!
I need this now!! My dumb ass sold my dreamcast version and didn't give it a full chance. Didn't get into RPGs till later. So happy is coming to switch in HD.
I love these games. Still have my originals on Saturn, PS1, and Dreamcast. Shame Grandia 1 is based on the PS1 version. Saturn version was so much better. Something about Game Arts and Grandia ports on PS systems always looked worse. Portable Grandia 2 esp is great.
Anybody else notice that the article said Gradia 2 has only seen a port to the PC? Did they not realize it was ported to ps2 after the Dreamcast release. Granted it was not a good port but it was ported.
