One of the best JRPGs of the PS1 generation. Love it!

Nice! Hopefully paves the way for more ps1 games maybe even ps2 games.

Not to be a downer but I imagine the only reason this is coming out is because it already had a Windows release way back; BoF 1 thru 3 didn't so they're not on GOG. Same thing with Resident Evil and Dino Crisis. Not sure what's up with Silent Hill tho; 2 and 3 had PC releases but only 4 is on GOG.

RE had Survivor for PC too, and that one isn't on GoG yet

Isn't that game terrible

morrigannarukami.comunidade.lgbt•11 hours ago

It is. But personally I think that every game should be preserved, even the trash ones

Only exception for this are the viruses and criminal ones

Oh, sure. I'm just saying, that means there's less impetus for someone to put the time and money to get it working on modern systems, because there'd almost certainly be lower sales. And Capcom might be embarrassed by the game and not want it sold.

3 does have a pc port but it was chinese only

gamesmaster5555.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Capcom has a bunch of PC releases, shockingly, so here's hoping they un-Earth most of them & put them up for sale, they seem to be willing to work w/GoG so that's a good sign

But did they fix the camera controls? I couldn't play it all the way through because it was so obnoxious.

This is excellent.
I hope they eventually add the console version of The Sims, its sequel The Sims Bustin' Out, and Shadowgate 64.

Just the IV? Not III ether?

blu-neko.bsky.social•14 hours ago

There's no pc version for 3.

So far the games chosen for the preservation program were already existing pc ports.

pkrockin.bsky.social•14 hours ago

There's a Chinese PC version, but tbh it looks not-so-great.

I've got a setup guide for the GOG version, along with version differences and other stuff right here: https://www.dragnier.net/breath-of-fire-iv/breath-of-fire-iv-guides/breath-of-fire-iv-pc-gog-setup-guide/

Thanks for this! The point sampling part is what I was really interested in.

justice78.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Tons of info, awesome. But..... does it work on the Steam Deck? That's what I need to know. :)

pkrockin.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I was able to run it by installing GOG Galaxy via Lutris in Desktop mode, then installing and launching BoFIV from there. I'm sure you could also download the installer from GOG Galaxy and just use that with Lutris to install it.

Interesting. My current setup is using the Heroic Launcher to play my GoG, Epic and Amazon Prime games on my Deck.
