Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I do love the accessibility options they've added.
Being able to hold X/Square to perform a basic 4 hit combo attack instead of mashing it is a godsend.

After watching some reviews, this game is a bargain title for me.

Really liking it so far. 144 fps max quality settings at 4k on a 3080. Game is a looker. Plays very well.
My only complaint is that in some in game talking moments the clothes of character models will flicker, and it’ll drop the textures and details of their clothing. Strange bug.

Man screw you Best Buy. I bought from there just for the steelbook since it would have better resale value and not only did they wait until release date today to ship, it hasn't even shipped yet! It says I should get it tomorrow but it is still pretty lame.

This is a good game with an interesting story and characters, like other RGG games, but it is way overpriced and does look very dated visually.
It actually looks okay-to-good in the cutscenes, albeit these are limited to 30 fps, but I am not sure if these are pre-rendered or real-time. The problem is that going from those cutscenes to the in-game graphics (at 60 fps+) is often jarring as the gameplay has very flat lighting and limited shadows compared with the cutscenes. I've tried using Engine INI tweaks to push the visual fidelity to match the cutscenes but it doesn't seem to work. I seem to recall there was a mod for Yakuka 0 on PC which forced the higher quality models of the cutscenes for all gameplay so that is what this game needs in my opinion.
Considering this has been ported over to Unreal Engine 4 and costs £54.99 here in the UK - basically a triple A price point - then I would have hoped for a bit more effort from the developers than a barebones port just with a higher resolution and framerate (outside of those 30 fps cutscenes). This could and should have been so much better.

Seems like some are confused if this is a new title or not.
It’s not. It originally released in Japan only 2014, now releasing to western audiences.
It’s just a remaster. I didn’t expect it to be as well-rounded as their recent games either, so I’ll play this just for the narrative as combat seems somewhat antiquated.

Its just a remaster of a game thats nearly 10 years old and basically was build for PS3. Also released on PS4 but already looked dated on that console. The remaster is better though, there are no loading screens when entering buildings etc. But compared to the Dragon Engine Yakuza games built for PS4, I think this one is less impressive overall. Its PS3 roots are still all over.
But I like Ishin. Its the first time its available in English.

Bumpy bump. I just got around to starting this game last night. Runs like a dream on my PC. I'm getting stupid high framerates. I guess that's due to its ps3 roots? Looks great though IMO. For those who have played through it how does it compare story wise to the mainline series? Just as good?

Just as twisty and over the top as any other yakuza game story wise ( in a good way).

Story wise about the same. But the unreal engine really ruins the combat in this game. Lots of fun side stories though.

I actually think it's one of the worst Yakuzas in recent years. It's perhaps one of the few titles from the series I struggled to finish, because it felt like a shore.
Unreal engine didn't help at all. Also Gameplay didn't felt as lose as other Yakuza games.
And don't get me started on that final sequence.

Yes, it's a Yakuza game through and through.

yep. the only pre-ichiban yakuza game i've never finished (i've attempted to several times, both original & new version, &'ve never managed to). kenzan! is a much, much better 'historic' game than ishin. they remastered the wrong game. disappointing...

I have to agree. I love the series, but I didn't really like this game anywhere near as much as I thought I would. I did finish it, but I really didn't have fun with it.
HOWEVER. I am glad they remastered it, I'd rather they do that than me never have gotten the chance to play it properly.

You bumped 1.5 years old thread to brag about your pc and framerate?

No. I was curious as to the quality of the game. That was the question I asked. The performance just struck me as odd in a good way. I had no idea it was originally a ps3 game.
