Undertale was the indie darling RPG of 2015, and my vote for one of the best games of all time. It released to critical acclaim, racking up perfect scores and accolades from critics throughout the industry. As far as fans go, Undertale was extremely polarizing.

Half of gamers seemed to think as I do, that it was a triumph of game design, while others just didn’t get why it was so popular. Regardless of which faction you were in, it’s hard to deny that Undertale left quite the mark on gaming for having been released only two short years ago.Yet, Undertale had a tiny weakness. It was only accessible to PC gamers.

Does Undertale (Steam and DRM-free) save ANY information about the No Mercy Run consequences in the registry? I am currently working on an open source script that can both create and remove/block the No Mercy flags. If you find where the Undertale save files are located, you can delete them and start fresh. According to this Steam forum post, the save files are in appdatalocalUNDERTALE on Windows, /Library/Application Support/com.tobyfox.undertale/ on Mac.There is also a save manager available which one of my friends has used successfully, but since it's a third party program use it at your own.

Made in GameMaker Studio and utilizing fourth wall breaking narrative devices such as game crashes, Undertale was a game that seemed like it could only work in a PC format. Yet, this year’s E3 announced the game’s eventual release on the PS4 and PS Vita. How on earth could Undertale even work on a console? How does it differ from its original PC port? More importantly, if you are hardcore Undertale fan, is it worth buying the game again?Put on your spoiler hats and heat up a plate of spaghetti as we talk about every way that Undertale’s PS4 port differs from its original PC version. The Basic Stuff.

For the most part, Undertale remains unchanged. All the story elements of the original Undertale have been preserved perfectly.

You’ll meet all the same characters, fight all the same bosses, traverse the same lands, and get the same endings. You can still experience the same pacifist, neutral, and no mercy routes that the original had to offer and, yes, the consequences for these routes remain the same. Even the battle system is ported over perfectly. If you were looking for extra story content (such as some plot details regarding the identity of Gaster) you are unfortunately looking in the wrong place.

Undertale’s PS4 port is a port in just about every sense of the word – not a remake, not a reboot, and not an “extra special expanded edition deluxe.”Luckily, this also applies to all the cool save file tricks that the PC version played on you. If you, for example, quit the game after killing Toriel and then start a new game to save her, Flowey will remember. Sans and Asgore will comment about all the times you fought them and died. Nothing from the PC version was left behind, which is, honestly, pretty impressive. I swore something was going to have to be heavily altered in order to jam this package onto a console, but that’s just not the case.Oh, and one important side-note, consequences are much harder to circumvent in the PS4 version. If you are a psychopath and decide to take on the No Mercy route, you will literally be locked out of the True Pacifist ending forever. No amount of uninstalling and reinstalling will bring your happy life with Toriel back.

As time goes on, someone may figure out how to delete the right files so that consequences no longer matter, but for now everything seems permanent. Game Crashes. F1 challenge 99-02 mod 1994 download. Undertale was well known for crashing the game in order to make a narrative point. In the final fights of the neutral route, the final boss “Omega Flowey” (or “Photoshop Flowey” if you prefer that nomenclature), crashed the game every time you lost. In addition, the game crashes right before the fight, to show Flowey’s new ability to control time and space.Of course, the best way to handle this would be to crash out to the PS4 menu, but that isn’t something that Sony would be particularly OK with. Sure enough, Undertale doesn’t crash like it used to. Instead, all of the game’s PC-only tricks are handled inside the game engine.

When you get to the Flowey fight, the game “crashes” but only aesthetically. The same holds true for dying in the Flowey fight.The terrifying conclusion to the No Mercy route is perhaps most adversely affected. You don’t get to see the game crash here at all, even aesthetically. Instead, the submission to Chara and eventual selling of your soul is only punctuated by a fade to white. If there is anything that I actively dislike about the PS4 port, it’s this. It totally defangs the ending, which was originally one of the creepiest moments of gaming history.It’s peculiar since one game crash did manage to survive. If you enter your name as Gaster at the beginning of the game, both the PS4 and PS Vita versions actually crash, complete with an error message.

I understand that the error message might have been confusing to people who were playing the No Mercy route, or that producing this error message and simultaneously saving game progress would be impossible in the Flowey fight, but I really do believe that crashing the game in this way would have been a better way to handle the narrative than producing a fake “crash” inside the game engine. Undertale had no Steam achievements to speak of, and for good reason. The game was, at its core, a morality tale. Including achievements that incentivized playing the game in a certain way would totally break that morality tale.

Players had to play Undertale in the way that came most naturally to them, free of outside influence or possible rewards.Unfortunately, it appears as if games on the PSN actually need trophies associated with them, so Toby Fox had to somehow come up with a trophy list that didn’t actually incentivize anything.The result is perhaps the most hilarious collection of trophies I have seen in a PSN game. Half of the trophies are related to mundane actions that you would perform no matter what moral route you take, actions like “get an item” or “reach this area of the game.” The trophy names themselves also paint a funny picture of Toby Fox slowly running out of ideas for trophies. It’s a nice touch.The other half of the trophies pertain to the one single room of extra content to be found in the PS4 and PS Vita version of the game. Underneath Papyrus’s sink you can find a brand new shrine to the annoying dog. You can donate 1G to the shrine at a time and after you donate enough, the game will ask you to leave and come back later. When you do, you’ll find that the shrine has been upgraded in some mundane way.

If you keep doing this over and over again, you eventually turn the shrine into a full-fledged annoying dog temple complete with wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man.What does this unlock? It has absolutely no relevance to the story and it grants you no items. The only thing it does is grant you completely meaningless trophies, and if you manage to finally get all of the trophies the game has to offer, you get the final trophy, which plainly asks you “Don’t you have anything better to do?” Brilliant!

Should You Buy? Finally, we come to the golden question: “Is Undertale for the PS4 and PS Vita worth a purchase?”Well, first of all, if you have never played Undertale before, yes, yes, a million times yes! As I said before, this is one of the best games ever made and everyone should experience it, even if you end up not liking it.If you have already played the PC version, however, then the answer, sadly, is no.

I hate to say it but there really isn’t much here for someone who has played Undertale already. The trophies are funny and the ability to play it portably on the PS Vita is neat, but the lack of game crashes impacts the narrative in a negative way. In addition, the PS4 version is fifteen dollars while the PC version is only ten. There’s just not a whole lot here worth buying again.That being said, picking up collector’s edition in order to get a physical copy, art book, and locket? Now that’s something I’m sure mega fans will do.
