The Best Way To Play REBIRTH - Max Reviews: FFVII Rebirth on PC

I can't wait to jump into Rebirth again. I bought it on release on the PS5 but didn't get to finish it due to my home burning back in April of last year. I was having such a great time with the game and now I get to do that again!

[@beezysgs]

I'm an RTX 4090 owner myself. But I remember a time when titles like this really made me feel like crap and like I was missing out because I only had a console. It's not cool in my opinion.

[@Zachary_97]

I used to be in that same position too.

[@TLparkZ]

Inb4 someone thinks he seriously did that....again

[@Th0rneo]

What’s ironic is that the people who are adamant that there’s little to no difference between the PS5 and the PS5 Pro will also scream that the PC version here is light years ahead of the Pro.

[@dediualex3554]

Ps5 pro is legit the strongest console I’ve ever seen, the difference between regular and pro is legit insane. So people chat shi 🤣🤣

[@dannyrvt6924]

Well there’s obvs gonna be a difference between ps5 and the pro. No one was denying that (if they were, they’re stupid). But it’s not worth a $700 upgrade. And Rebirth is the only game that has that major difference. Max has said previously that every other game that’s not rebirth looks the fcking same

[@JustVC]

​@@dannyrvt6924it's worth thb. The only game that's shows the huge difference between two consoles... 60 FPS mode is sharper than quality on PS5, and it runs at double the frame rate...and ps5 performance mode on this game look like a switch game

[@Th0rneo]

@@dannyrvt6924 oh people were denying that, I’ve seen a clip of Max reacting to the Pro reveal at the TLOU 2 clip and he thought it was minimal. Whether or not it’s worth the price is subjective, people pay more for the latest Nvidia cards, something again I would imagine Max does. Rebirth the only game? Sure thing, dude. Let’s ignore the amount of games that run in way higher frames, higher resolutions, with RTX effects. Sure, Rebirth is the most visible difference I’ll grant you, but now you’re being deliberately ignorant. It’s all the same improvements that PC only players go crazy for.

[@alumlovescake]

Game on ps5 pro is 1080p. PC can run at 4k dlaa

[@worsel555]

No joke, the PS5 version gave me headaches due to how blurry it all was on top of the flashbang lighting it would do for no reason (Looking at you mines at the start of the game, turn around and the sun exploded even though I was nowhere near the entrance/exit). The game running at 30 fps looked so choppy and 60 fps was so blurry that my eyes kept trying to focus like I was not wearing my glasses. I had to abandon trying to play this after 6 hours sadly. I look forward to actually playing this game tomorrow with sharp graphics and 120 fps.

[@linklegend7536]

Holy shit man watching this on an oled looks insane. Didnt think the pop in fix would do that much of a difference but seeing so much detail in the distance is amazing

its nice to see that this game runs well, rebirth was a bit rough on console for me and i played 60fps on my entire run so to see this game improved a lot on its visuals is gonna be a dream come true! 😎

[@jayr343]

Hoping for people with a review that can test it out on a GTX 1660 SUPER which has the same architecture as the RTX 2000 Series (Turing) and has support for Mesh Shaders (which is what i am assuming Rebirth is using and is why its requiring atleast RX 6600 and a RTX 2060) Same thing happened with Alan Wake 2 where they had 2060 and an RX 6600 as its minimum due to Mesh Shaders (Prior to the patch that allowed older Pascal cards to run it) and a GTX 1660 SUPER was able to launch it and run it at like 30 fps (albeit its low but its something). Hoping its the same thing for Rebirth

[@phootaphan9166]

The only thing I haven't seen yet is whether it has ultrawide support. Remake didn't, so I'm curious to see if the add it this time.

[@stevenxw]

yeah i'm curious about the same thing. tbh, i think it's unlikely but there should be a mod within a day or two of release. i'd keep an eye on Lyall's github, they're usually the one to make all the ultrawide mods these days lol

I’m glad so glad I gave myself (barely enough time) to enjoy Remake but my gosh no FSR and few DLSS options? Its just as limiting as Remake graphics wise which is so disappointing but the non blurry visuals that’s enough for me to throw down $$ Glad to see pop in resolved mostly here!! It’ll help
