this is from a reshade mod for the game, but: "If your game's fps is suffering from stutters, make sure to disable "Supersampling" in the game's in-game graphics menu" I've seen others with stutters and this seems to help "most" people, emphasis on the "most"

If you guys pick up the "ReReckoning_ReShade" from Jb0238177 on NexusMods, it greatly increases the quality of the game as well as removing the weird blur effect on everything. Honestly the devs shouldve just removed the blur effect to begin with, game looks 100x better without it.

Wow, I never thought they would make a remastered version of my fav old game KOAR! awesome news, but I read some negative reviews on Steam saying it is buggy most of the time even on the ultra gaming PC, more bugs that weren't in the original game, only slightly enhanced graphics and nothing else. I will try it anyway and see the differences between this and the original (I played over than 100h in original and I still didn't finish it 100% damn, although I completed around 70% of main story and 100% of Teeth of Naros DLC)

Not a great remaster but I can tell you that it runs on low end hardware pretty well. I don't think this is much different than the original release which is a good and a bad thing. The good is it will run great on lower end computers even for 4k but the bad is it doesn't look better but more of the same.

The bug is quite simple. It's because of the amount of loot you leave behind. For some reason the game doesn't get rid of it, so the loot continues to build up around the world until it causes some serious bugs. Whatever you do, don't leave loot behind for now, or just wait until the update is released.

Remaster has a lot of optimization issues. As soon as you maxout everything, even on a beefy PC you won't go past 60 fps unlike the OG where you can go easy to up to 140fps. The visual changes are not worth the price if you are already used to play with Re-Shade+SweetFX tools. But if you haven't played the original, then yes, it is worth. Just play the game on medium settings until they fix the issues they have.

KoA Reckoning is the greatest rpg ever, the first game that I rated 10/10, and the one that introduced me to rpgs after a decade of racing and sports games. I'm actually disappointed that this one offers nothing beside some better graphics that I will probably not use because of my potato pc.

Greatest RPG ever? Come on, you need to try more games.
Have you played Gothic 1/2/3? (or maybe even Risen 1/2/3?)
Morrowind + mods is marvelous.
Maybe even Oblivion or Skyrim are acceptable with mods. (I admit I gave up on them though)
Dragon Age Inquisition has actually lots of similarities, in my opinion, and it's great. Spent +100 hours on this...
Then, there's the obvious Witcher 3...
I won't compare to Divinity because it's not turn-based, but any Divinity game is better, if we're talking about pure RPGs.
If you don't mind extremely outdated graphics, M&M6/7/8 are also fantastic.
Finally, Elex shouldn't be overlooked.
All of those are superior to KoA imho.
Also, when I tried KoA, I just couldn't help feeling like I was playing a mmorpg.
Something like Tera plays better(combat), looks better, and is even deeper, despite the childish gameplay and easiness.
If I had to compare it to one game, though, it would be Gothic 3, and I think it's one of the best. (with unofficial patch)
And for your potato PC, I think Gothic 1/2/3, and M&M 6/7/8 are perfect.

karam25
sure there are plenty of better games, gameplaywise and storywise. but this one was my first rpg ever so it gets an extra point and a special ranking position.
I've played all the games above (except Elex) and frankly only the Witcher 3 is a better game. Witcher 3 is perfect, and if you mean DOS1&2 then yeah, those two are perfect too.
I said that KoA was the first game that got 10/10, but there are a few other games that succeeded it like:
the Witcher 3
Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2
Dragon Age: Origins (way better than DAI)
Mass Effect 1,2 & 3
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Dragon's Dogma
Tower of Time
Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2
Pathfinder: Kingmaker
Drakensang: The Dark Eye & The River of Time
Fallout 4 (haven't played F:NV but they say it's even better)
Nier: Automata (haven't finished it yet, but so far 10/10)
if i revisited KoA now, it will probably not be as great as it was when I first encountered it (just like when I replayed NFSU2 a while ago).
finally, my pc can run some big AAA titles but on the lowest settings possible. I'll check out Elex, it looks interesting.

With the original you could easily get way more than 60 fps. The Remaster has a poor optimization. you get pretty much locked at 60fps regardless of the graphical settings.
When you have maxed out all graphic settings+postprocessing, game drop below 60 fps when there is a lot of stuff going on on the screen. If you already have the original and you have played it with the Re-Shade and SweetFX tools, then you won't see any difference.
This is not a Remaster but more of an HD Textures and an UI scaling upgrade.

Then you haven't played it wrong. The game is fully 60fps. are you sure you had FPS check on? I hate games playing @ 30fps as well, but this one is 60fps. You might have not used the right graphic setting. There are more options in game. Go replay it now

Google "loudness war".
What you call "clarity" is in fact distortion, and literally destroying the dynamics of a song. Audio "engineers" have completely annihilated music since decades. 80s was the last good decade for a reason.
Personally, I stick to vinyls just because my ears are bleeding when I hear remasters. Even most recently released vinyls usually have good dynamics. There are some exceptions, but it's really the only way to appreciate music for audiophiles.
I tried CDs of Iron Maiden, my favorite band ever. Never again.
Nothing compares to their original vinyls. Same for Michael Jackson, ABBA, Queen, etc.

For those who wonder, this is why you often feel that commercials feel much more aggressive and annoying than in the past. The sound is pushed to the maximum constantly, with no quiet/softer moments. Music is not much better... And don't get me started with equalizing...
By the way, the "official" reason for the loudness war was that people used audio devices which needed to have the volume of the music boosted to be appreciated. Phones or portable music players with crappy speakers, etc.
This means that the so-called "loudness war" doesn't even have a reason to exist anymore, since modern technologies have improved drastically.
But well, I guess they feel like there's no turning back now, and nobody dares to go back to normal volume and dynamics.

I like to think of it this way, if people show enough interest in the remaster, then there's a better chance to green lighting a sequel.
While I do think the $40 price tag is a lil more then it should be, I did love the game when I played it long ago and with the improvements and new DLC to come I'm almost willing to buy it, after a bit of free testing i think.

FOV Slider
New Difficulty (Very Hard)
Changes to loot generation
Small changes to fluidity of combat
These are the only changes. And even the graphical changes are barely noticeable

good.. the graphics were good already. Was like playing WOW but offline. They did well not to change much. Take that away.. then the magic will be gone. If you still don't like it... you might not like the game at all and should move to something else

Imagine being this guy crying out over size files in a game.
30gigs by 2020 it's like a small dent on total size when most AAA games requires almost a 100

That's not a valid counterargument - your theoretical game is that size because it was always that size. What if you came back in a few years and they released a new version that was half a terabyte?
Bet you'd see my point then.

Except that only happens in VERY FEW CASES. The N Sane Trilogy, the Reignited trilogy, The Master Chief Collection, Panzer Dragoon, the Bioshock Collection, GRIM FANDANGO, all of these are fantastic remasters that do more than just "put a new coat of paint on an old car"

Problem is it does happen, and it is trending. It's passable now, but it won't stay passable forever.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, i know it happens. But saying that EVERY remaster is lazy and only does the bare minimum is simply not true. Not to mention that when it DOES happen, people do complain and they do vote with their wallet and make their opinions heard. I've seen more negative feedback on Re Reckoning for example than positive for that exact reason, it's a lazy remaster

Yeah, I can't agree with everything he said, but he's not wrong in being concerned about how hard remasters are trending lately.

I disagree. A remaster is taking something good but outdated and making it (still) good but relevant by today's tech. Sure, sometimes you don't get much aside from fancier graphics. But the thing is - it was already good. And now it's even better. What's wrong with that ..?

Some people just want something to complain about, which is funny considering how many legitimate things there are to complain about at any given time.

They're not throwing shade at people who steal games in general. They're throwing shade at people who COMPLAIN about games that they are stealing. Big difference. It's all about having an entitlement mentality with something that you're not paying for to begin with.
The only people who have a right to complain about a product is if they shell out their hard earned money for it first and it ends up falling short of expectations. Someone who's pirating a game, on the other hand, isn't even paying for the damn thing.
That would be like someone stealing a car and then calling up the owner of the car to bitch and moan that there's no CD player in it.

While the general principle of truth is plainly seen in your point, the fact that people aren't paying for the game doesn't prevent them from observing inconsistencies that, hypothetically if they were paying for it, they would recognize as worth complaining about.
A lot of the reason people DL games upfront instead of buying them is to discover in advance if some crappy element of the game would have made it a ripoff for them to purchase at asking price to start with, right? If someone finds such a thing during those test plays, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with stating that out loud.
...So long as they don't go overboard with their griping. That's what makes a difference between entitlement and just making a fair point.

Supposedly also re-did loot generation, rebalanced some combat and removed level locks for areas. But yeah, only minor changes. it's mostly just to revive the game in people's minds and start making DLC, one is already planned.

They've quadrupled the size of the game. I expect more for that much hard drive space.

Are you seriously complaining about how much space this game is gonna occupy in your hard drive? Shouldn't you be complaining about the price?
Like why the fuck they're charging $40 bucks for the standard edition and full price for the Fate edition while doing the lowest effort to remaster a 2012 game.
Get a clue dude.

Less hard drive space spent equals more room for more games. Anybody here could just download the original, have thirty gigs left for anything else and lose nothing.
My point is, for that much extra space I expect there to be more: new areas, new quests,anything.

People with limited space should either get more, or better manage what they have. File size is just about the most petty thing about a game to bitch about. The OP of this thread is being an idiot. It's his right to complain about it like an idiot, but it is also the right of everyone else to call him out for it.

I find it hilarious that the OP is arguing over 30gb to begin with. Someone should probably stick to consoles if 30gb is such a huge ordeal for him. Of all the things to complain about in the PC gaming industry...

Wtf, it was like 10, max 15 hours straight game, and I don't think they add a content to this game, at least not to make it 10x longer.

Sure, if you rush the main story. Easily 60+ hours if you do all the sidequests and collectibles, and it had two DLCs with more stuff to do.

If you managed to get through it in 10-15 hours you weren't bothering to do any side quests or anything.

And that was it.
