Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade PC Review - The Final Verdict
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 янв 2022
- While the PC aficionados out there who really like to get waist-deep with different types of texture filtering and asset detail might find the assortment of graphics settings less than robust, especially when compared to games that were developed specifically for PC, I think what the developer was able to throw into this version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is suitable to get the experience you want out of it.
Being limited to raising or lowering overall shadow resolution or overall texture resolution might feel like conducting surgery with a hammer rather than a scalpel, but the way these settings specifically function for this game do get the job done. Plus, there’s no denying that this is such a great, well-designed game that, if you’re really playing it to have fun, you won’t be spending too much time worrying about it’s simplified approach to performance anyway.

I was hoping this review would talk about what was new in intergrade vs the remake release. Instead, it seemed like he found 20 different ways to say the same things about the graphics customization not being good enough.
Intergrade is the PS5 version of the game that includes the higher FPS and improved graphics and such. Nothing much.
Before we move on to the review let's take a moment to thank our today's sponsor - Square-Enix
😂😂😂
Wow, this review has really made me doubt these guys reviews. If this isn't paid for my square Enix I would be shocked ,had to laugh when he said it has a healthy dose of settings . There's only textures and shadows ...oh and resolution which has DRS enabled that you can't turn off without a mod . How can anyone take these guys seriously after this review ? This is an extremely barebones port that doesn't even run very well ...not too mention it's over priced and only on the Epic sore.
It's dodgy port and this a very dodgy review !
Ya if they “missed” that, then this review was clearly paid for. And they took the deal. I can’t trust a thing these guys say anymore.
What do you mean? It got zero dislike so it should be true!
@@blushingralseiuwu2222 lmao
@@blushingralseiuwu2222 105 dislikes currently. You can still see them with a Return RUclips Dislike extension.
@@thesolucian4 r/whoosh
this video has no dislikes so i guess i'll trust it, thanks RUclips!
"Graphics - a commendable selection of options *scrolls down the camera control menu*"
This should be taught in schools as what a paid review looks like.
I can't believe how wrong everything in this video is. The game is completely broken in terms of performance.
I've actually unsubscribed. Reply here if you know trusted review channels. I miss Total Biscuit. Worth a Buy is good!
@@davebryson4965 Digital foundry, however that might be too technical for what you're looking for
@@davebryson4965 same here i know i’m late but try “ACG” he hasn’t sold out yet next to the black hokage he’s the only other person i trust to review a game & keep it real about is it legitimately worth $60
God of War... better port, better options, better performance, better price, better support since day 1. That's how you release an older game on PC.
If i have the recomended system requirements of square enix of FF7 can i play it on 60FPS on max settings in 1080p?
I will never take Gaming Bolt's reviews serious again after this one. Talk about dropping the ball...
Gaming Bolt used to be creditable, but Fake News pays well...I guess
This is the only positive review of this port I've seen. Sounds like a super red flag to me.
There is one consideration that this review doesn't cover: Mods. Mods that fix the micro-stutters and turn off dynamic resolution. Mods that make the game easier. Mods that make the game harder. Mods that let you play as Cloud in a dress for the entire game. If there is one factor that PC games always have over their console counterparts, it is mods.
Well why would you consider that? Its not part of the package. If the game has problems it should not have to fall on the community to fix it with a mod.
@@powpowx93 Dude. The bug fix was the *LEAST* important of the things I listed. And also a moot point, since the issue was addressed in this morning's patch. No, the reason mods are a valid consideration can be summed up in one phrase: "Ronald McSephiroth". 🤣
@@Starcat5 shut up brony
How is that a healthy range of display options? It's embarrassing....there's like two things you can really adjust that do anything.....it's horrible for a £69.99 game...the fact that you don't address that makes you lose any credibility.
Seems to me that square-Enix would rather pay for fake reviews than actually fix the terrible port; there is no way this game is worth 70 dollars in any reality
I agree, luckily it went on sale for 50, and if you have coupons you can get it down to 30, and at that price it’s pretty worth it. Too bad there isn’t a healthy amount of options or anything, and the dynamic resolution happening. Just gotta wait for the square Enix patch in 2 years just like nier 🥲
@@jamrah8713 how or where do you get coupons on Steam (for the games). I’ve noticed I unlock achievements and it says I unlock these….”stickers” or “trading cards”? But are there way to trade those in to get discounts off game purchases? Thanks for any help.
@@Lettuce_Play idk how, ff7 is only on epic games launcher which is so shit but I really wanted the game.
@@jamrah8713 its on steam tho...
Wow. Gaming bolt has fallen so far.
It has performance issues on most PC's. How did you miss that?
Lol typical pcs. Ps is where the games are at. Facts. Enjoy this nearly 2 yr old "sloppy 2nds" game 👍
So when God of War releases this week and it has 4K textures, wide screen support and runs at 60 FPS on the PC, is that a "sloppy second" or is that going to be the definitive way to play the game?
@@SnakeEyes327 I’m PlayStation nation but you got a point lmao. That guys got his head way too far up his ass. God of war is my all time favorite series and I can’t wait for you guys to experience it and fall in love like I did.
On my 3090 I run it at 4K 120fps with no problems. There are mods as well for some nice features and bug fixes.
I have great performance with a mid tier PC, honestly very well otimized for AMD cards
This review really does minimize the fact that graphic options in this game are bare bones especially compared to other PC ports.
That aside the game itself is awesome. Definitely worth playing.
ya the game is awesome i cant wait for part 2 too come out i have it on the ps4 and than i bought intergrade on the pc.
compared to others sure, which specifically because most ports, DONT have hardly anything. Just having more options than 30 and 60 fps is huge in my eyes. Douche comment is all I really wanted to say.
@@Yasmuraz You sound really confused about what you're trying to say exactly. Also you seriously need to work on your punctuation, man.
Do you work for IGN or something?
I love final fantasy 7 remake however I really don’t want to pay 70 dollars on the pc.
Pirate it. It was released first day.
@@nexxusty gotcha
£69.99 and it has awful performance, ok then.
Was 80.00 on Playstation they so greedy
i'm really eager to see what kind of mods will be made for that.
No Ultra Wide it seems at 80 Euro, will wait for a Sale.
GamingBolt....you guys are slipping
Can’t wait to try mods
My playthrough started out rough on high settings. I had frame drops similar to the example in this video. I paused, set everything to low, un paused, it re paused it, and set back to high. Dramatically improved my performance. I don't know if it is case by case basis or what, but it worked for me.
That would be flushing and reloading VRAM.
@@nexxusty Oh, ok cool. Well, reloading the VRAM worked very well for me.
@@steventouchton2508 Its a tactic I have used for YEARS on buggy games.
Usually works well.
@@nexxusty useful info
Did they fix it one year later??
It would have been nice if you talked about how the mouse and keyboard controls were
my God, this looks like an oficial PR answer video from Square-Enix
Playing on Steam Deck and it runs great.
Can you play intergrade without going trought the whole story?
Yes
So how much did Square Enix pay for this review?
How much did they pay you
How to lose fans and alienate your audience…
how is the improved version of the Playstation an 8 while the original was a 10? One may never know.
For my 2017 low tier gaming laptop, this game is masterpiece,,
But for my newly build high PC with all my sacrifice when saving money this game make me mad,,
The worst PC port to date.
Typical 2021 buggy release, wait for 9 months of patches...
It seems Square-Enix issued accidentally a debug version of the game that normally is not intended to the final public. This may be the cause of the many issues this game have on PC. There is no word from developers if the public will ever see the vanilla build on PC at this point in time. Pc game wiki
Square enix jrpg pc ports do pretty much always suck,and the worst thing is they don’t even care. Nier automata,which had some serious issues,got it’s first patch after 2 or even 3 years
Not the worst. You clearly haven’t played Batman Arkham Knight. That was a legendary disaster. Imagine cyberpunk on ps3/360 but for PC.
I appreciate these type of "reviews" as they lead me to unsub soon after. Thank you.
No ultra wide monitor support. Have it. Disappointed
I like the game. Really gave the characters personality. Sometime into the game, i realized there is no way they are going to fit everything in. If they somehow did do that, then this would be there ultimate remake. As someone who finished the original countless times all those years ago, I don't mind there is no pure turn based system like the original. The only con for me is lack of content, which includes the world exploration and freedom.
Biggest killer for me. I love turn base and that's not a faithful remake. This is why i will never buy it. I'll play the original on my psp instead, screw it.
Never been a FF fan, so I got this because everyone was raving about how good it is... after playing it for 8-10hrs I have to say I'm still not a fan of the series.
Thanks for the information
Does anyone remember asking ?
Nobody cares what you like or don't like.
You gave it a fair shot. Simply not your thing. And not sure why so many salty people here. It's a comment section for a review - good place to voice your opinion of the game.
Isn't this just the first disk of the original FF7? I'll wait until they get the full remaster done.
That will take years, next installments won't be DLCs, but separate games, kinda like mass effect, 3 separate games but theyre all one big story
Basically, but with a lot of filler.
This review appears to be 90% about the settings, when they should of maybe dedicated 5%.
Oh yeah we have cool settings like brightness…..you guys just starting gaming on pc huh?
GameBolt: if you would care just a bit, you would tell YOUR community that running the game in directx 11 mode will solve the stutters.
see digital foundrys video:

Ehh. A discussion about the graphics settings?
bad PC port with no options. def not a great review for PC specific
I wish they would have put in a fully turn based option, that is how i always enjoyed my RPG´s and found it relaxing. So im sad to say i got about 5h in before i gave up on the game. I would have been super happy if they had just upgraded the original visually.
The whole action based combat is what made me step out of Final Fantasy to be honest. Never enjoyed the parts since XII.
well, the original game was semi real time so I dont know that adding a true turn based system would be desirable or workable.
@@Shorty_Lickens i played it with "Wait mode" so id still call it turn based, since if i did nothing it would stay like that for ever.
@@cesco1990 Then you are not an OG FF player.. No problem with that, @spankastic is OG
Turn based isnt good
Oof. Missed the mark on this one.
HA! They deleted my very critical comment from two hours ago. What are you gonna do now, disable comments altogether?
@gamingBolt Thanks for the sponsored ad.
Everyone else: Bad port
GamingBolt: Great
I’ve officially unsubscribed.
Works perfect on a steam deck
Still kinda waiting to hear about the xbox port as theyve gone quiet on that topic
it looks alright but the serious lack of endgame stuff and true replay ability doesn't justify the price tag. I'll wait another 2 years for the price to come down.
i love those 8/10 on REMAKE where they completly changed story to KINGDOM HEART idiocity,with combat where you can just autoattack and use heal one every 30 sec.
padded to 35 hours with 16 hours of cutscenes and 5 hours of slowly walking with probably most tedious side quests since 1999.
8/10 is quite ez to get these days. 🤣
I was skeptical of getting the game because of all the buggy reviews but only experienced very minor jitters, not enough to ruin the game at all in my opinion. I'm running a 3080 so maybe that helped but overall it's one of the finest game I've played in sometime.
7th gen i5, 1060 runs everything on high, 60 fps, minor drops when cutscenes begin (similar to how they played on ps1 😂)
35 bucks for this right now sounds pretty good.
How many dislikes this video has at the moment? Can anyone share?
Nobody denies Final Fantasy Vll Remake is a great game even tho is just a fraction of the whole old Final Fantasy 7 but it's just that this PC port is the same as the PlayStation version. The game costs 70 dollars or 80 Euros in Europe, it has no ultrawide support, no graphical settings and it came with a stupid Dinamic Resolution Scale masked under the frame rate setting and most of the textures are very low resolution. For a budget console it's the right thing to do but for a PC port of any game on today's standarts it means two posible things, one SE are very lazy or two SE thinks we PC gamers are dumb. Thanks god we have an amazing modding community, on nexus are already fixes for most of the issues and for those with ultrawide monitors the Flawless Widescreen team has managed to make the game work in every ultrawide resolution flawlessly.

Why is this game 93$? (Canadian). Thats insane. Most game are like what 79$??? for AAA games. Whys this game So much more
Yikes, guys...
Seeing how many views this vid got compared to the amount of likes I'm guessing the reviewer had a bad take on some things? I think ill pass on wasting my time on this video. Always read the comments first people
Where am I ?
For younger people, they would have never played it so why not just remake some really good games with very good stories. Also for us old people, we don't remember it was so long ago we don't remember so new to us as well. I am playing the remake now I almost remember absolutely nothing just how much of a dick Sephiroth was proving a good bad guy can make a game or a show really. They should remake FF6 too will be a while of course.
Do you really have no idea what you are talking about or is this an out of season April fool joke??
Looks like you played this with controller. Worst part some of these FF game ports is the lack of real mouse and keyboard support. The vast majority of PC players do not want to have to us a controller. If the mouse and keyboard support isn't there its not really a PC version.
The game is full of bugs and problems on PC..
No.
The story/narrative is NOT great and the problems are NOT few nor small. The director completely ruined the story by injecting his Kingdom Hearts, time-traveling, Spector nonsense into FFVII.
There were multiple instances of textures that without exaggeration, belong on the N64. Such as that infamous door to Cloud's room in town (but there were more).
There is also an unforgivable amount of padding (underground subway section in particular).
Many of the side-quests were complete uninteresting fluff that belong in a random MMO, not a story focused single player game.
Oh, and for some reason they had the ridiculous idea that god-like beings now exist in virtual reality instead of the real in-universe world (and no, they aren't simply VR representations of them, you actually gain the ability to summon them after they're defeated in VR).
And to top it off, they ruin the mystery of the build up to seeing Sephiroth by having him constantly appear as an illusion to Cloud all-throughout the story, and *spoiler warning* have you actually fight him as you're leaving Midgar as the end boss, instead of wisely showing restraint until later in the story.
This game is **objectively** not a 10/10 experience.
... All that being said, it definitely had its strengths.
Follow up to above (so as not come across hating the game for the sake of hating it). .. It's not a total disaster (outside of the story).
The VO work is fantastic (a RUclipsr plays Areith, and Jet from Cowboy Beebop plays Barrett). The rest are likewise extremely well done.
The character models and animation are among the best in all of gaming.
Much (although not all) of the dialog and character interaction was well done. I could truly believe these were the characters from the original game.
They somehow managed to make cross-dress Cloud at the gay club both hilarious but unoffensive to the easily triggered twitter mob (truly an impressive feat).
The Shinra building was jaw-dropping in it's spectacle.
While I still prefer turn-based combat, and generally don't like hack&slash games, they probably did a better job at finding a compromise than anyone else has managed to do.
New characters were mostly interesting, such as the old woman and her (neice? Granddaughter? I forget) and the new take on that Don guy made for a fantastic villain.
So, it's wasn't a complete Trainwreck (although the new train section itself was pretty pathetic). But, for how important this title is, and the story bungled to the point where it simply can't be fixed, this release definitely falls short of what it should have been, despite the moments where it shines.
Too long; didn't read your youtube essay
ini tweak will help i guess
What is this review? Look at other reviews before buying this
oof, that dislike ratio says it all
Is this guy playing the sane game we are? lol
I like Tifa
You (reviewer) are a flat out liar. Your comments aren't true and you don't believe them to be. Whatever SE paid GamingBolt for this review, it's going to cost you more in the long run.
if only the dislike bar was visible
This video is the exact reason why we needed a dislike count on videos. This is embarrassing 😂
PC Ports = Tifa Mods that's all you need to know
It runs fine on my 2019 i7 with 16GB Ram and GTX1080 @1920x1080 30fps. No complaints. Game is damn beautiful to look at - really one of the very best-looking video games I've seen. Character models (for leads) are absolutely stunning. I have no prior history of FF7, so no baggage; I find the story daft, with a childish naivety and a real clumsiness of script. But still - it's a lovely-looking thing and as a fan of eye candy, I'm enjoying it despite its clownish narrative.
Does it lag when you go at max settings at 60fps?
dudes probably got paid well for this review so sad
This game is 10-15% of actual game play and over 80% of bullshit talk and walk around. SE take 13s straight corridor to a whole fucking new level. The crap angle trying to hide how generic the environment looks and prevent you from seeing far away spoting treasures. I don't know why SE can't make it like DQ11 instead they give us a god damn DMC Fantasy.
U can use this comment as a proper dislike button.
Unsubbed.
What a crap review. Half of it is nothing but this guy babbling on over nothing.
