GungHo Online Entertainment will release GRANDIA HD Collection for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 26, the company announced. Physical edition pre-orders will open via Limited Run Games
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.
It exists, doesn't work on Steam Deck though, which is a pity, I've had the PC versions since release.
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."
Going to order it now. I own the Switch version but I’d rather have it on PlayStation
Ordering mine tonight after work.
According to fans this was a let down. If you still have a CRT play the Saturn English fan translation, its the best way to play. The developers were told in advance that the visuals looked terrible for Grandia 1 'HD' and they didn't listen. They kept the awful blur filter.
Apparently Grandia 2 'HD' is good though.
Grandia 2 is in my top 10 games of all time. Maybe top 5. Absolutely phenomenal
Still wish Grandia 3 was added. I'll still get it I missed out on Grandia and Grandia 2 when they came out back in the day.
Great games. I'm not sure if true, but I'm hearing people say these still have the same visual filter that people complained about on the Switch which is a pity if so.
I really hope we get a re-release of Grandia 3 someday though.
