The game was announced at Square Enix’s E3 2019 conference, and now it has a release date. Final Fantasy VIII Remastered will be releasing on the Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Steam on September 3rd, 2019. The release date was announced in a brand new trailer that was uploaded to the Final Fantasy YouTube channel. You can see the trailer down below.
“remastered”
Looks like a PS1 emulator rendering at 1080p
Yea their not gna do much work to it. Just upscale a little bit, that’s expected. If they said remake now that’s a different story lol
its a remaster not a remake, huge difference.
It just seems lazy to me. When I hear remaster I think of Halo 1 and 2 getting 360 and One coats of paint and Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask and Star Fox 64 getting 3DS coats of paint.

This looks like a 90s game running with a fanmade graphics pack in the mid 00s.
Yea its just a way to justify raising the price a bit usually. If it was not “remastered” they would have to sell it cheaper. Once you put that “remaster” sticker you can charge a bit higher or make it seem like there’s new features etc. just marketing. Fairly common practice among lots of developers and it will keep on happening with the newer consoles.
Square lost the original source code to FFVIII so it’s more of a remake than you might think.
Reverse engineering and remake. That’s also why the character models look terrible.
Twilight princess hd did pretty much the same thing…..
Yeah but it wasn’t 20 years old when it was remastered so it looked good.
