It’s going to take quite a while to plow through all the content, but it suffers the same problem as every other DW game, it’s catering primarily to a small fanbase that enjoys taking one person and sending him/her out into vast armies and pummeling a legion of nameless flunkies in ridiculously exaggerated “historical” battles, or else the fantastical/hypothetical battles which are just as unbelievable as the “real” ones. DW8XLC is still an improved version of past DW games, and all the additional content from the Xtreme edition is here, including the Lu Bu scenario that is a big draw for fans of the Romance story. That disappointing lack of improvement aside, this is the same pair of games it was on the PS3. In a curious twist, while the other Omega-Force game on the Vita, Toukiden didn’t have the budget to support English voice acting, DW8 doesn’t offer Japanese voice acting, which is unfortunate since the English voice acting for the DW series has been uniformly bad, and this latest game is no exception. On initial glance, DW8 is easy to mistake for its PS3 counterpart the port has been that unambitious. There’s a slight tweak to the resolution of textures, and obviously the overall performance and stability is better, but this is hardly Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition or even Assassin’s Creed IV, which at least took advantage of the processing power to add more particles and other volumetric effects.

The biggest issue with this PS4 version is that Tecmo-Koei has done the absolute minimum required to transition this game over to the latest generation of hardware.
