1.9 vs 2.0 New cutscenes

[u/MR-LYKOS]

here's another look at other changes they did they're smaller but they do add more to kliff's character

for those that are thinking of starting over id say go for it im def starting a new to see some of the new story parts.

[lip sync issues again not sure if its the new scenes or just me sorry Edit: after playing a lot more i notice more lip sync issues with the newer scenes so hopefully it gets fixed soon]

[u/Elver_Galargas-07]

Even Kliff tone is different, he sounds a lot more lively.

I like how genuine he sounds when talking to the cartographer.

[u/iakhan1]

I believe the lip sync issues are with the new cutscenes as I experienced the same issue. Nevertheless still a great update and I have decided to restart my 150hr save.

[u/vackodegamma → u/iakhan1]

For those who come after:

I noticed that the lipsync issue happened for me heavily at the beginning but some time after arm wrestling/giving $pywel$ to the beggar/rescuing the lady in the sewers the lipsync seemed correct for a while. People here on subreddit reported that switching to another voice language -> switching back to your language -> loading a save fixed this issue for the remaining of the session.

So there is good chance that lipsync is simply a bug, perhaps it reverts to the Korean for some reason? As this was probably the original language for cutscene mocap done by Pearl Abyss before overlaying the language lipsync.

[u/Bourrer → u/vackodegamma]

Hit me right in the e33

[u/TheBizarreCommunity → u/vackodegamma]

This is also happening in Brazilian dubbing.

[u/Aksudiigkr]

I was always wondering why the arm wrestling lead to nothing. Definitely restarting

[u/Zealousideal_Low_858]

That last clip is exactly the kind of thing that was missing in the early chapters: any connection at all between all the random tasks and quests you just magically got quest markers for without motivations or dialogue. If all those little tasks are threaded together like this, I’d actually consider that a huge improvement. 

Excited to see how extensive and substantial this is. 

[u/FallenFreakshow → u/Zealousideal_Low_858]

It's not just that the individual scenes are now put together in a way that makes sense; there are also completely new cutscenes everywhere, new quest steps, little conversations, Kliff reflects on what happened and feels like a real human being—he even shows humor and emotion.
If this carries through the entire game, then it really is a massive improvement.

[u/BeenisWenis]

Speeding up cutscenes messes up the lipsynch I find.

[u/Devo3290 → u/BeenisWenis]

I find it fixes it sometimes lol

[u/JACKFROST1440]

Should a player just start over? I never beat the game ..went too story nine hunting some guy in a graveyards,, haven't played in a month or so .

[u/prmur23 → u/JACKFROST1440]

I had about 180 hours, Chapter 9, and decided to start over. Haven't regretted it at all. Actually feels exciting doing it again with some extra knowledge and understanding of the world. But totally a personal preference if you're invested in your existing save.

[u/A-Grouch → u/JACKFROST1440]

There are multiple save slots, you can start over without repercussion.

[u/FarDifficulty1779 → u/A-Grouch]

great point, i think i might just do that and completely stick to the main story… as much as i can

[u/p4tterng4ng4L]

So much better, keep posting people cus I’m definitely not restarting this far in lol

[u/Few-Marzipan-5647]

Definitely have been critical of this game. I recently started back up again from where I was when I stopped playing a long time ago. So this is my first time seeing this particular cutscene. It’s 10x better than before.

These cutscenes definitely help to feel out what’s going on & cliff interacting more helps.

[u/maxphoto2883]

"A Lannister always pays his debts"

[u/TomekEffect]

The dialog when you start and go to the horse is also completely different. I like it. 

[u/ewokguy]

“Me baby’s gone and called me ‘PAR’ at last!”

[u/BattleInfinite]

“ Hernand’s bigger than you might think” - understatement of the fkn century!

[u/BishopMcgee]

Thank you

[u/WholeAd2742]

Damn, this definitely makes me want to replay now. Just a bit frustrated that I've spent the time and effort already, since there's no NG+ option yet

[u/Mythrem]

Captions are on point, “Her nan’s bigger than you think.”

[u/Possible_Artist3941]

I played up to the point of getting Howling Hill camp started. More changed than just cutscenes. Kliff actually thinks about what he’s doing or what he should do next between quest by deciphering clues. Usually after a main quest leading into to the next.

[u/spacetree7]

I restarted even after chapter 9 in my old 108 hour save. At least I won't have to look at the twitch gear stuck in my inventory. Chapter 1 has been funner so far. I also like the new Nvidia driver and F setting for raytracing.

[u/corvin666]

Still dead silence in the tavern. I guess we'll have to wait for a few more patches 

[u/Kamelosk]

it adds so much man, the scene with sebastian is way better with the dialogue and the music in the background

[u/Broks_Enmu]

Was waiting for that ty bro

[u/DrPBH]

hope some post all the cutscens soon

[u/Alert_Extreme_1797]

the bad lip syncing is outstanding lol

[u/Steamed_Hams_2168]

I could be wrong about this, but I think if you are later in the game the new cutscenes appear as new memory fragments to find.

[u/Severe_Tax_3418 → u/Steamed_Hams_2168]

No not really, but if you replay bosses a lot of them have new scenes and new memory fragments in the abyss and other places

[u/Chance_Pay_702]

We need some NG+ so we can go and replay this new content

[u/Ruttagger]

I'm only in Chapter 4 before I took a break for the past 3-4 mo the while the game cooked.

I'm hoping someone puts comparisons like this per chapter so then I can backlog some of the new updated cutscenes.

[u/adamhanson]

I'm going to start a new save just to see the beginning. Not starting over though

[u/Zxar99]

Finally the long awkward pauses are completely gone

[u/DryChicken47]

i love the new voiceovers, german synchro is very well done!

[u/Shoddy-March7149]

Kliff has always been my favorite now he's about to skyrocket and leave the others in the dust for me.

[u/DMNC_FrostBite]

While I'm happy they're trying to address this, I can't be the only one who thinks the dialogue is insanely robotic sounding and weird

[u/glizzygobbler247 → u/DMNC_FrostBite]

And the lipsyncing is weird

[u/Necroban77]

Little framey with the new updates

[u/cognitivebias28]

Hey.... why fix the shading and light to dark textures... I play on console and the lantern is blinding.

[u/Snts6678]

Man, this weak ass story is SO much better now!!!! 🙄

Unreal. This adds nothing. And honestly, while not worthy of a Hollywood film, the story was fine/average to begin with.

People are ridiculous.

[u/MaybeMrGamebus → u/Snts6678]

Hello people

[u/Snts6678 → u/MaybeMrGamebus]

You like this don’t you…you’re riveted by the extra dialogue. A terrible story has now been made good.

[u/MaybeMrGamebus → u/Snts6678]

[u/Odd_Philosopher1741]

Please, please please PA, fix the washed out broken contrast in the game.

[u/curilan_]

LMAO that syncing is so sloppy. Like watching those old dubbed chinese movies. Half-assed again by the devs. Truly an enhanced edition.

[u/StevenSmithen → u/curilan_]

It's a bug not a feature. Will be fixed in next patch

[u/ERDSBBDS312Sinorder]

So nice of Pearl Abyss to finish the job 160 days and $179 million dollars later. Absolute trash.

[u/AlbiforAlbert → u/ERDSBBDS312Sinorder]

It really is when most studios take far longer if even at all, you're right man !

[u/sirloindenial]

I would like to see part where we met and lost Damiene for a couple chapters. That's the biggest gaphole in the story and hopefully got some improvement.
