[Review] The DioField Chronicle
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: September 22, 2022
Developer: Square Enix / Lancarse
Publisher: Square Enix
To say that Square Enix has had a busy year would be an understatement. Between high profile new IPs and the return of older games that few will have heard of and fewer still would have played the first time around, it was easy to overlook The DioField Chronicle, which was given somewhat muted fanfare despite the big names attached to it: co-developed by Lancarse (who recently co-developed Monark, but are perhaps better known for their work on Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey with Atlus), music by Ramin Djawadi and Brandon Campbell (of Game of Thrones fame), and with artwork by Isamu Kamikokuryo (Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy XIII), it seemed as though this would be one of Square Enix’s hits for the year. But is this a chronicle for the ages, or better left on the shelf?

Video: NieR: Automata Switch vs. PS4 comparison
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
A new video for the Switch and PS4 versions of NieR: Automata have emerged, covering the graphics and frame rate.
By all accounts, developer Virtuos has done an admirable job bringing the action adventure game to Switch. We already know that the title targets 30 frames per second on Nintendo’s console rather than 60 – and that’s further backed up here. But this may actually be a good thing as the PS4 version, while targeting 60, can fluctuate – and that doesn’t always lead to the best experience. Elsewhere we see that the game apparently goes for a resolution of 1080p on Switch when docked, but with temporal reconstruction.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn graphics and style explained
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Square Enix is bringing back yet another classic game before the end of the year in Tactics Ogre: Reborn, but not all fans have been on board and there has been some criticism levied against aspects like the graphics. The original title featured pixel graphics, and while Reborn retains the style, the art has a smoother look and the text font has been updated.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn producer Hiroaki Kato was asked about how the smoother look came to be in an interview with IGN. He ultimately explained that Square Enix was “thinking about how to show it on new modern technology with high-resolution screens” and “to show the power and beauty of the original pixel art on modern technology without them looking terrible.”
