Like a Dragon: Ishin! DF Tech Review - PS5 vs Xbox Series X/S vs PC vs... PS3?

Рет қаралды 129,282

Күн бұрын

The Yakuza franchise has evolved - not just in terms of its name but also its key technology. The bespoke Dragon engine powering the series has been replaced by Unreal Engine 4 - but the first title to see the change is actually based on an old Japan-only series entry first seen on PS3. So how does the game play out on all systems? Oliver Mackenzie investigates.

I played through the whole game on PC in the early access period and many of the cutscenes had an incredibly distracting stutter whenever a character died and had their blood splatter. Hoping the new patch fixes it

@bltzcstrnx Жыл бұрын

Weighty is about physic, which in this game Unreal play no part. They lifted the logic and physic code from the old engine, just changing the 3D renderer to Unreal. Just like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater remake. Feels almost exactly like the old game but enhanced graphic using Unreal.

I just started this last night and this video was very informative in checking my suspicions that the original PS3 assets were ported into Unreal. The gameplay, dialog scene style and environment art design definitely feel like Yakuza 5 which makes sense considering it was the game before the original Ishin. I was hoping they were going to do more modernization but I'm happy to have any version of this game released with English translation in the west. I've been playing the series since the original PS2 localization so obviously this is a must-play for me and I hope this does well enough for them to get a version of Kenzan at some point too.

On PC there is a fix available that unlocks the framerate to 60 or above in all areas of the game, as well as allowing true ultrawide. It fixes the stuttery 30fps cutscenes by allowing them to run at 60fps if they are in-engine and smooths out the few pre-rendered 30fps cutscenes.

Looking at them side by side I actually prefer the visual coloring used in the PS3. My computer and graphics lingo isn't nearly enough to explain why, but while the remake looks better and more clear, the PS3 have a tone to it that fits the idea of a historical setting (a little baige) better. Edit: The more I look at it, it just looks older and more traditional like the setting itself is a historical landmark. Which in universe I guess wouldn't make sense (it's the present in game), but just watching the visuals from a gameplay perspective makes it look a lot more charming.

The original game seems to be using specially placed lights to make the cutscenes look more cinematic. The remaster's lighting is more consistent (and probably more realistic), but it looks a bit bland by comparison, and people's faces are sometimes covered by inconveniently-angled shadows. (This is a separate matter from the changed colour grading.)

I've been expecting it to kinda feel like Kiwami 1 & 2 did. I haven't gotten this game yet but, I do look forward to it. Great work covering it Oliver! I always appreciate these videos. Regarding the engine, I have mixed feelings about Unreal 4/5 however, it did always annoy me how in all the Yakuza games 0-6 on Steam, I just could not get a hold of the aliasing on my 65" screen even while using extreme measures such as DLDSR. The games make very heavy use of fine lines particularly in the cities and it irks me to see such an unstable world. Not that it ever stopped me from playing the whole series. It leaves me wondering though because, some UE titles end up resolving some pretty clean images on my screen. On the other hand, I do hate to see yet another in-house engine dying off as Epic's gets just a tiny bit more use.

Ishin is a spin-off which I guess could be played any time independent of the order.

Hm.. Interesting analysis. Based on what I see in this video, it doesn't at all feel like Unreal Engine may the right choice for this series going forward. In my taste, the skin and hair look too "smooth", I find Like a Dragon sharper, but what really makes me doubt the choice of UE5 is the stutter in the story cutscenes. These games are very heavy on, good, story and the stutter I see in this video really makes me wary. That stutter in cutscenes is something I cannot remember ever seeing in the Yakuza games, at least not from Yakuza 3 and onward, even the PS3 games were stable in cutscenes. I hope they continue with the Dragon engine and do a major update for it instead, seems this is one of the cases the engine made for the use case specifically is the better choice.

I really liked the PS3 era. I even like some images from the original better. It's an esthetic thing. Like at 14:00 The left picture looks like a blurry image of a place I'd like to explore while the right one looks like the set from a play. Fake and flat.

@jojobrojo5062 Жыл бұрын

They haven't fully switched engines yet. Like a Dragon 8 and Gaiden are still running on the dragon engine.

The transitions between scenes with all the quick flashes of t-posing characters or empty rooms etc really make the game feel way less polished than any of the other games.

@KaoRYuusha Жыл бұрын

That is probably due to a bug that is present if you start the game via the "quick resume" feature, tried it on my PS5 and it shows. If you start the game normally which is going through the title screen & resume your progress from there, you don't see those awkward transitions anymore.

I'm glad fsr 2.1 is so good now at quality. My 3080 TI doesn't quite get 120 solid at 4K so I played at 1440p. But I'm going to do a new game plus and I'm definitely going 4K with FSR quality. I don't mind the little bit of shimmer on clothes. It looks better than native. I did not know that they finally got to that level

@revbladez5773 Жыл бұрын

Not necessarily, I think it was just easier to port this to Unreal than Dragon Engine. If Gaiden later this year is also on Unreal, then yes, then they probably are leaving the Dragon Engine behind.
