To find a new Earth, the SRF was created to explore space and map the solar system.

Evidently, Earth has become uninhabitable after World War III and humanity moved to underground cities where they are slowly running out of resources. This is a story that should have developed organically around the main protagonist instead of inserted all at once throughout multiple cutscenes.Īs for the characters, we meet Edge Maverick and Reimi Saionji, two members of the Space Reconnaissance Force (SRF) who grew up together and have a fairly believable friendship. When there is this much story content inserted at the beginning of the game, it’s difficult for the player to even care about the any of characters or what’s going on in the world. Right from the start, you have to sit through a lengthy cutscene that attempts to explain the issues planet Earth faces. You can also play through the game in 4K on a PS4 Pro the PS4 itself will run the game in 1080p.The first issue of Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope shows up pretty early as it involves the story.

Of course, it won’t probably run it in 4K- the PC version of the game will support 4K, but I imagine you will need a reasonably decent rig for that. They also went ahead and shared the requirements for the PC version of the game- I think your mother’s old laptop should be able to run the game, honestly. The remaster’s release is actually not that far off- to be specific, it launches tomorrow (which I didn’t realize- it just crept up on us, I guess).Īnyway, ahead of this release of the remaster tomorrow, Square Enix shared a brand new trailer for the game, showcasing some of the story sequences in the title. Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope will be getting a re-release on the PS4 and PC via Steam, thanks to Square Enix launching the polarizing game in the long running series with an HD 4K remaster.
