If you haven?t played either of the originals it wouldn?t be too obvious, but to people more attuned to noticing things like that it could be picked up on fairly easily. This is definitely noticeable when playing the game, especially for someone like me who was used to the GameCube version. The one problem this brings is that the PS2 version of Symphonia ran at only 30 fps instead of the 60 fps on the GameCube. The Symphonia included here is a remake of the PlayStation 2 version (not the GameCube version) and Dawn of the New World (DotNW) is a remake of the Wii version.

This game is an HD collection of the two older Tales games included, which originally came out in 20 respectively.
Tales of symphonia chronicles hard install#
It took me roughly 10 minutes total to install both games. The first time playing either will require an install on your system. When you first start up the game you are taken to a screen where you can access either of the included games. There is also a Collector?s Edition for $99.99 (whose features I discuss later) though I am not sure if much stock for it is still available. These games are also offered individually on the PSN for $19.99 each. The release includes both Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World for $39.99 on a single disc. Namco Bandai have recently been showing a lot of love to their North American fan base and the new Tales of Symphonia Chronicles release on the PlayStation 3 is a great example of that. Progress: 9 hours of playtime in Symphonia, 6 hours of playtime in Dawn of the New World (Previously beat both original GameCube and Wii versions) Launch Price: $39.99 (both games on a physical disc) or $19.99 (each on the PSN store) Players: Symphonia 1-4, Dawn of the New World 1-2
