If it's a good port then I'll be buying it(NISA being involved always worries me), I have never played it and I'm interested in checking it out for sure.

It just appeared as available in my region(Mexico), pretty well priced as well!

Going to wait to hear some port impressions, as long as it's not total garbage I'm definitely picking this up.

I'm curious about first impressions about the PC port's quality, all this game really needs is an upscaled remaster and that's it. Those graphics still hold up very well even to this day.

I genuinely hope the PC port isn't Ys 8 levels of bad again.

I assume they haven't done anything like adding subtitles? Couldn't understand a word last time I played and even resorted to playing with a laptop open on a full transcription of the game by my side.

Part of the reason I never got that far in the game.

Honestly, most of the actual details explaining the plot is stuff you'll find outside of the cutscenes. Having played Killer7 to a pulp, I can tell you that most of the cutscenes that are inaudible thanks to background music (given that the game features a bunch of cutscenes without music) usually only really feature characters waxing poetic.

The release notes make it sound like the game is locked to 1080p :/ I really hope that's not the case.

What the hell why no English subtitles... I'm not naive enough to be hoping for subs in my language (Italian) , but English subs would have been enough. What about deaf English players?

Yo what? They added hotswaps for personas and a health restoration button without going into the pause menu?

That's a nice touch

I played it. There is no option beside anti-aliasing and the option to force 4:3. No resolution option either.

It's a decent port, the loading times are fast, and you can switch characters with hotkeys immediately. Just don't expect granular options.

There is english subtitle for all cutscenes that has "garbled" voices. But there was never any subtitles for voiced, audible cutscenes

Oh, I hope not. A 1080p lock is a dealbreaker.

Does it force the game to run at 1080p or does it try to match your monitor's maximum resolution? I guess you can only know if you have a 4K or 1440p monitor.

Never played it but always been curious, has anyone played it recently? Does it hold up still? Game always looked interesting for sure
Even for it's time, the basic "game design" of Killer7 was fairly archaic.

And yet there's been no other game like it since then. As an experience it holds up and then some.

Cool stealth drop. I also noticed that there's a digital art book and digital soundtrack that you can get as DLC, and in a cool move, the soundtrack looks to be more complete than the original 2 CD set from 2005.

Around 10 more tracks, the remaining tracks that didn't fit the original soundtrack

Yeah, I played the original. But I was hoping they added subtitles for the actual cutscenes since the game was really hard to follow for a non native English speaker
