I think the most important points here would be the fact the game is stabilized at 30fps, which may be a disappointment for some. At the very least, local multiplayer is retained for the game (effective during battles).
A bit of gameplay was also shown during the stream, which pretty much plays the same as the PS3 version.

Tales of Symphonia is the fifth mothership title of the series and the only title to be released for the Nintendo GameCube. It was then later ported to the PlayStation 2. It has a direct sequel escort title in the form of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, and the two were later ported to the PlayStation 3 as a single release in the form of Tales of Symphonia Chronicles. The game is a distant prequel to Tales of Phantasia.
