Awesome. I've wanted to give this another shot. Shame the remake had negative impressions.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I’ve always wanted to play this, sucks that the remaster turned out bad.

As a side note, GOG currently has tons of shit on sale for another 5 days. This deal was longer than usual as it started as 9 days I think.

Maaaan, I loved this game so much back in the day!

 

[Javthusiast]

Oh ffs. Bought it a couple months ago for cheap on steam and haven't played it yet. Well, it was as I said cheap.

Thx bro

 

[KellyNole]

Thanks, picked it up. played it on the GameCube way back when and haven't played it since. The remake made me want to get back into it.

you're not alone. apparently after the remake came out, sales for the original game were rising and it outsold the remake

imagine releasing a remake SO UNBELIEVABLY BAD that people go like "oh there is a remake coming out for XIII... I kinda wanna play it! Let's get the original game!"

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Ohhh Yeah

 

[hybrid_birth]

Ohhh Yeah

If your mouse movement sucks and is all weird install this fix.

Are there quicksaves in this?

I don't think so, I think if you save it simply saves the last checkpoint.

on another note, I just started the game and applied 16:9 and 1440p via the ini files, BUT the game is stuck at 50hz for me. I tried using dgVoodoo2 to force a higher refresh but it doesn't do anything. any fixes for this? PC Gaming Wiki only mentions that this can happen with one of the unofficial patches, which I do not have installed, so this can't be the issue
edit: ok now I got it to run at up to 74fps... but it goes down to 65 depending on where I look... super weird, my GPU is at 13% usage xD like what is happening?

If you add the game to steam there are already a bunch of controller configs about

Popular set up

Gamecube style set up no gyro
steam://controllerconfig/xiii/1526774230

Gamecube style set up with gyro aim

Pretty sure this was a game I got during one of the TRU/CC clearance sales back in the day for $5-7 on the Xbox. Fun game.

Cool. Thanks.

When I use dgVoodoo to set the resolution to 1080p 144hz it kind of hovers around 60 - 74, setting to 1080p 60hz it stays at 60fps however when I set it to 1440p 144hz its now hovering arounf 98 - 105 :/ odd but if your looking for higher framerates that's the best I've found, at least on an amd gpu.

for me it is that 60 to 74 ish framerate at 1440p... super weird. but honestly, that's alright for me. before it was stuck at 50fps for some reason I'm just glad that that's not happening anymore xD
having it run at 1440p 16:9 with a fitting FOV is all I wanted and I got that now so I'm happy with it, and honestly don't want to tinker with it too much now that it runs well enough lol

old PC games be like that sometimes.
