Good stuff coming out of TGS.
The Tokyo Game Show train keeps rolling, and this time it’s stopping for the Grandia HD Collection. Gung Ho dished out some of what players can expect both games to have.
Grandia:
- Enhanced details to UI, sprites, and texture art. 2x to 4x upscaling
- Original cinematic videos receiving visual enhancements
- Widescreen support and customizable resolutions for PC
- Addition of MSAA, bloom, normal mapping, and blur effects
- Steam cards and Achievements
- Japanese Audio and Subtitles, English Audio and Subtitles
- Language Support: English & Japanese
- Digitally converted game manual
- Utilizing PS1 & Sega Saturn source code
- Gamepad and keyboard support with remappable controls
Grandia II:
- Digitally converted game manual
- Utilizing Grandia II Anniversary Edition source code, which originally was based on the Sega Dreamcast source code
- Fix PC video/audio desync and switch to XInput
- Add support to exit to title
- Japanese Subtitles added, for Switch version
And even after all that, that still isn’t everything they’re adding to the games. That said, the one puzzling thing is that they’re actually releasing the collection in North America and Europe before Japan. As a matter of fact, they have no plans to release the games in Japan. Which is super odd, but there’s probably a reason.
