Tales of the Abyss, will it run?

[MistyInferno]

Hey everyone, MistyInferno here.


I'm just curious if Tales of the Abyss will run on my new laptop:

Intel core i5, 1 terabyte of hdd space, 8 gigs of ddr3 ram and intel HD graphics 3000.


Thanks for the help!

a bit slowly from time to time because of that crappy GPU.
but yes, i'll run

Do you think that there's anything I can do about that? Are there ways of making it run at 100% of the time at 100% speed from the settings?

[jesalvein]

maybe if you run it in software mode with 3 extra rendering threads...
but the game won't be as enjoyable as on your PS2.
So better keep playing the game on it until you can afford a better GPU...

Will this be an issue for all the PS2 games or just Tales of the Abyss? I would also be happy to play Tales of Symphonia on my computer if that's possible.

[jesalvein]

practically all PS2 games.
AFAIK, ToS is more demanding than ToA

[MistyInferno]

Just to give me an idea if you don't mind could you please tell me about how slowly the emulator could get?

[jesalvein]

no idea.
I'd say from 25% to 50% speed, but without any conviction.

And would that be a periodic jump down or would I be stuck trying to play it at 25-50?

[jesalvein]

give it a try, you'll see...
about tales of the abyss, it'll be constantly 50%
I don't have ToS
