Gaming Rumor: Chrono Trigger DS

[Gore]

I'm not excited for this at all.
Nor was I excited for FFTA2 or any Final Fantasy game ever.

Anyway, reading the comments on Kotaku...Chrono Cross was a great follow up to Chrono Trigger. People are whiny because it didn't include Crono, but the storyline as well as the tie in with Chrono Trigger was great. The only problem with the game was the intro was really slow, but when the story picks up it moves along pretty well.

I'm hoping that this "port" will include the extras that were in the PSX version i.e. the anime cutscenes + the appropriate ending that ties this Chrono Trigger to Chrono Cross.

At last, been hoping for a CT port since the FF1&2 remake was made for the GBA. Even if the extra dungeon is only filler and doesn't give much extra content, just the fact that I can play it anywhere without messing with the PSP emulator (which in my opinion runs it decently, but doesn't compares to the real deal) is worth it. Just hoping that the touch screen functions doesn't replace the buttons (or at least that only apply to minimal locations like in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow) or that the don't make an "enhanced" version of the soundtrack (some Squenix OST remakes are good like in FF: Crisis Core, but some of them suck hard).
Anyways, happy to know of the port, but I would be happier if a release date was made public

They'll up the graphics, DS's 2D is miles ahead of SNES graphics. I really am glad that I don't have to keep playing the original on my PSP.

 

[Zane]

I hope they won't "up" the graphics.. sure if it looks abit refreshed but still 2d then sure, but if they try to do a FF DS makeover.. then no.

What PSX emulator should I use to play Chrono Cross ISOs?

 

[granville]

I'm REALLY going to have to assume it's 2D and the scans depict the DS version. All articles so far point to it remaining VERY much the same graphically. I've whipped up a comparison shot between the original game and the DS scan:

SNES:

DS Scan:

Unclear though the pic is I think it's from the remake. I have one piece of evidence to support this: the text box appears to be transparent. You can just make out the background behind the box. It wasn't transparent in the SNES version. There's a possibility I'm wrong here, but I think I'm right. I'll admit my ignorance if proved otherwise though.

I don't mean up as in go to 3D, that would be awful. Children of Mana looked gorgeous and they should do something like those graphics.

 

[Artheido]

Not rumour. It's confirmed.

EDIT: Countdown site here.

Well... Not a countDOWN site, it just shows the time with a clock that makes that Chrono-tick-tock

Did they confirm US release for holiday too or its Japanese version?

 

[granville]

Yeah, the US release was confirmed holiday 2008 by the press report.

 

[seracrux]

I hope they remake the game, they can probably use the FF4 or DQ engine.
CC was great although it did kill off the leads of CT and negate that game in the process, btw I played Cross first so maybe that influenced me. I like the fixed XP concept, no more grinding hehehe.

 

[epicelite]

I might actually buy this rather then wait for it to be uploaded somewhere.

It's playable, but kinda buggy.
