Console peasant here, why is it an issue that it’s on Epic and not Steam?

Console peasant here, why is it an issue that it’s on Epic and not Steam?

From what I read, the Epic game store is less user friendly than steam in a lot of ways, people hate having to use a separate launcher for some of their games, and people resent the fact that Epic buys exclusivity to their platform like this. For normal people who don't care about these things, there's no real difference in how the game actually plays.

I just remembered I had found something appropriate for the occasion

Steam is just DRM that people like because it's convenient. Epic is really not that different.

Reddit users are very lame.

Absolutely perfect

How quick will mods be available? Especially outfit mods? I really want Tifa and Cloud's Advent Children outfits

 

[Torrie]

When I learned the news, I felt exactly like I thought I would.

Spoiler: NAMELY, LIKE THIS

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

I've been dying to replay 7R for the past couple of months, but I had to restrain myself due to the fear of FF oversaturation because it's been on my radar for like 1.5 years, gosh... Time does fly, doesn't it? Anyway, super looking forward to it, especially playing the Yuffie part! And, of course, the mods

Square Enix removed the $69.99 price tag from the Epic Games Store for FF7R. Although they keep the $69.99 tag for their other game Forspoken.

Probably not straight away, KHIII wasn't simple unreal engine stuff for models. They had their own custom parts thrown in. Someone had to be commissioned into making the right tools...

I'd love to see KHIII style HUD, that would be cool.

I am so happy to see the REMAKE coming to PC!! I am sure that my PC will not be able to run it as my CPU falls short, but I am so looking forward to see the game run on a high end PC with max settings and Mods which will enhance it even more!

 

[Sutsivoiran]

Wait, is it really Epic Games Launcher exclusive?

 

[Lulcielid]

Available now on the Epuc Games Store.

Here's the settings. Similar to KHIII:

Dissapointed that the graphics settings have less options than both the XII and XV pc ports had.

They didn't change the price after all.

I have always found that SE games were best played on consoles tbh. The keybords shortcuts always are clunky somehow SMH.

Ars Technica review of FFVIIR PC Port:
"Final Fantasy VII Remake on PC: A gorgeous start, but where are the toggles?"

Speaking of Unreal Engine, yes, this is currently an Epic Games Store exclusive. While picking through the EGS install's files, I found direct mentions of "Steamworks," implying that the game could arrive on Valve's storefront after an exclusivity deal expires.

 

[Saven]

How is the PC port in general for those who have played it? I'm going to upgrade a few things on my PC before diving into this one (I still need to beat a certain new superboss in the DLC on the PS5 version too).

All PC reviews say the same thing, it runs perfectly well under the listed specs, gets the job done but it's a very basic port that lacks in variety of graphic options and in PC exclusive features.

Really? Yesterday Max Dood had troubles. I watched his stream, and his game stuttered a lot in sector 7 - it seems he wasn't the only one who had this problem.

 

[Shademp]

The Ars Technica review did report on some problems with the framerate, especially when taking the game above 60fps.

Worse, the included settings are limited. The "FPS" menu limits players to a few pre-selected frame rates: 30 (same as PS4), 60 (same as PS5's default), 90, and 120. (Nothing higher for the 144 Hz and 165 Hz crowds.) As I've confirmed in tests, this attempt to lock frame rate to a rounded target leads to occasionally choppy performance when the game can't hit its mark. This problem results in something that resembles frame-pacing stutter; it seems the game does not play nice with a variable refresh rate.

At 1080p resolution, my favorite medium-high-spec laptop runs the game mostly at 90 fps, but the frame rate can drop when the camera shifts to an entirely new real-time-rendered scene or when the game renders any particle-filled explosions. In these moments, frame rate stutter is quite severe, implying that some optimization work remains for Square Enix's PC porting team.

...

The port seems poised to deliver adequate 60 fps gameplay, which is on par with the PS5, even if its 90 fps and 120 fps modes aren't as optimized as I'd like.

The game is playable on my PC!! Yeees, I will be able to try out mods
I run it with lowest settings and resolution at 1600x900.

What are your PC specs?

 

[LegendarySaiyan]

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz
RAM: 8GB

Though, I believe my PC is drunk

Spoiler

I was first playing at 1080p with lowest settings and the game was stuttering a lot. So I don't understand why GeForce Experience would optimize it to 1440p with higher settings..
