Pc or Ps4

[Noblesse Oblige]

ive been doing alot of reading up on this game (long time dynasty warriors fan) and i thought id get an honest opinion straight from the Pc community.......

is this game worth getting on the Pc or im i better off getting it on the Ps4 ?

the reason i ask is this franchise has always had a console focus and it seems that the Pc version is lacking features that the console version already has But as we all know Pc bolsters superior framerates and other possibilities .....

please keep in mind also that i have never purchased a dynasty game on Pc so i dont really know what to expect

thanks

PC version is locked to max 1920x1200, so people like me with 2560x1440, or other with UHD, 21:9 etc are screwed. I also think it's locked to max 60FPS so 120hz/144hz are screwed too...

It's a straight port from PS3, minus online mode. Also textures and sightrange are the same as on PS3.

PS4 has high resolution textures (compared to PS3/PC) and improved shaders (which not all seems to like that much) Shadows, sightrange and amount of soldiers on screen is also higher/better.

Performance wise the PC is best, this game can even run on potatoes fine. So it's the only one where you may get stable 60FPS.

I helped myself with GemFX to improve color tone, sharpening and adding effects like gaussian blur, better lightning and to add SMAA. But I have still to deal with the resolution problem as GeDoSaTo doesn't want to work with this game to force higher resolutions.

BTW: If you play on PC, I recommend a controller and to remap the default control settings.

Just adding, the PS3 version has less enemies on screen, making your Rage and Musou bar gains stutter (to the point that Storm Runner is mandatory for normal musou gain pace) and there's somehow a maximum amount of enemies you can hit, e.g. performing musou in PC equals wipeout, while in PS3, around a third will survive the attack.

which version do you prefer ?

[hickwarrior]

I don't mind that the graphical fidelity is less than that of the PS4, but I have more or less an average PC, not able to render higher than 1920x1080, I think. As long as it runs smooth, and this game does run pretty smooth on PC.

However, do you have a more beastly PC to run DW8:E? With a better monitor to boot?

200 hours on PC, 250 on PS4.Personally I prefer my PS4 because the textures are sharper and especially the characters.. gosh on the PS4 they are an eyegasm. I don't care for more fps if I can have sharp textures. I'm not the "graphic is all" type but many of the PS3 (PC PORT) textures look like PS2. I don't get it... why PS3 graphics? What is so hard to create good graphical options so we can switch between PS3/PS4 ?

Glad this topic was made.. I was on the fence if I wanted to rebuy DW8E for PC or not... I saw "Mods" but even those seem lackluster? I will admit on PS4 it was pretty good and fun.

Love my character.

So guess its still the consensus that the PS4 version is indeed better then PC version from the developers?

Most likely, although the game is lackluster on both fronts. Also, necro'd the ♥♥♥♥ out of this thread.

haha

Necroing a relevant thread during a summer sale isnt that bad lol. Still valid questions for PC vs PS4

[hickwarrior]

True. It's just been a long while since I saw this thread even active. Or the entire forums. Twas fun for me, but it's very flawed. Apparently, playing on PS4 is better, but I'd recommend PC with controller. I'm biased though, since I have no PS4.
