No, the devs don't care about it's PC audience. If you write them an E-Mail, they will just send some generic message like ''Thank you, we will consider it and pass it to the team.'' etc.

So, one, the game devs are Japanese

Two, and this one hurts as a western fan for 30+ years but you get used to it, TOEI and Bird Studios (and Bandai in this case since they own publishing rights to DB games) don't give any ♥♥♥♥♥ about fans OUTSIDE of Japan. It isn't that they don't appreciate and love us also, but in terms of who is important and who their audience is when they take fan polls and gear new products for, it is NEVER us. We are the silent audience for Dragon Ball products. Whether we love it or not, it is only the Japanese fans' opinions that count.

Three, the devs make predominately PC games, porting them to the consoles afterwards, so this game was literally made FOR the PC before any port was made for it. That being said... I've seen the "next gen" update for the console versions of this game... no, they do not look better than the PC version, they simply run the game with many settings unlocked and a higher resolution than the previous console generation did. My laptop here runs the game on the highest settings with a.. technically... 3k resolution. It looks better than what the Series X and PS5 versions display, without question.

If you are seeing worse visuals on your PC version than say you PS5 version, your PC is a potato or your settings are simply set lower than the console version runs at.. lol

My PC is great, max settings. We (PC players) simply have an entirely different version. Are you paid by Bandai?

Wouldn't surprise me if he was. The length of excuses corporate go to control the narrative is disgusting.

I refuse to believe he actually thinks the PC version looks better and the next gen update looks worse. Might be bait, Idk.

Some people are genuinely blind to upgrades, but Kakarot not having the upgraded textures is sad as the certain poster pointed out himself the game was created on PC so the upgrade would have been done on PC.

Sadly at this point the upgrade wont come unless after a certain amount of time Bandai decide to sell it as a whole new Remastered game to try and get you to buy it again.

Maybe I'd be inclined to believe the game was made for PC first if it literally didn't switch the UI controls back to console scheme EVERY reset.

Shouldn't they care about money though? I won't buy any DLC until they release the visual upgrades. I'm sure many others are doing the same.

same, though i did get the game with the 1st season pass initially. won't be getting the others before the next gen update is here though. and if sparking zero releases before that then likely won't get them at all tbh.

Yep. Console gaming is huge in Japan. They aren't a big PC gaming market because most people don't have the extra space. When I lived there, the best place to find PC parts was on the US military base.

I'm doing exactly the same, I bought Deluxe initially but I wont spend another penny until they bring us the next gen upgrades.

It wouldnt surprise me if they re released the game with next gen upgrades and DLC at a new full price point as a new game to try and capitalise on it.
