AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead Undressed now on Steam!
- Thread starter PartTimeWarrior

100% agreed. Also, a shockingly good substitute for an actual to to Japan if you can't afford it. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to Japan a few years back and I was in awe at how they captured the feel of it all. Not perfect, but fun none the less!

Nice. after seeing some funny videos of this game, I think I'll pick up a copy.

I'm waiting for some impressions on the port quality but I'll probably buy it if that sounds decent.
No quotes for 1+ month and that's the one they chose? That account is terrible and has no idea what made the original so good.
Akihabara is barely indicative of japan and the cultural trumpeting for the district has stripped away the good values you used to find at retro game stores there.
I guess it's good for a place to find all of Japan's boob mousepads though.
My review: http://www.relyonhorror.com/reviews/review-akibas-trip-undead-undressed-pc-version/
It's lacking, but if you're ok with a "it works" port, you'll be OK.

The real question is how's the port?

Do you have some native 1080p shots?

If anyone without 4GB of VRAM gets it, let us know how it is.
IT BEGINS
Let me get on my desktop for the uncompressed ones.

I hate you for copying the weird full width "＆" they used in the title on Steam. It looks so weird

If/when anyone has tried this, I'm wondering whether it'd run alright on entry level hardware: Intel HD 4400 with dual channel memory and a Haswell Core i5. Runs 360/PS3 stuff fine, I get 50-60fps on Dead or Alive 5 at 1080p, and a solid 60 at 900p.
I have a feeling it won't though. From the system requirements (the RAM is a dead giveaway) alone it looks like the PC version of Akiba's Trip is based off the PS4 version, in a situation that XSEED/Acquire can't win.
Basing it off the PS3 code would have made for much better system requirements -- so myself and others with lesser hardware be able to play it -- but understandably owners of gaming rigs will want the best or most up to date version of the game, and you could make a case that these people are the primary purchasers of PC ports like this, everyone else will probably already have a PS3, Vita or PS4.
Personally speaking I think the PS4 version's visual upgrades take away from the game's look. The unnecessary and overbaked lighting and shadow effects water down what is pure and crisp cel-shading, while accentuating the low-poly character models. Are there any settings to turn off these visual features? I heard the game has different visual filters? Do they apply lighting and shadows?

Here you go Durante-chan.
Notice how the up-close screens with menus (stores and when talking to Nana), the image is much more crisp. I wish the whole game was like this. I tried this with and without the game's provided AA (unknown to me)

Still think this is one of the most solid 6/10 games I've played. I mean, I fucking platinumed it and enjoyed it the whole time.
Probs gonna double dip.
The localization and voice acting by the way are pretty damn impressive. Way better than they have any right to be

Yeah XSEED's hands are tied with this. They're not developers and it's not their duty to make sure the PC port is up to standards, though they certainly did try to warn Acquire ahead of time (but that's about all they can do).
I'm looking forward to reading feedback in the thread before I buy tomorrow.

Those don't seem to be in 1080p.

They are if you click on the download button in the gallery. Google Drive is resizing for some reason
Straight from the steam uncompressed screenshot folder. Like I wrote in the review, it looks soft at 1080p

Will wait for more impressions, I will pass if it's not a good PC port.
Kinda sad as I <3 Xseed to death, and they did fucking warn them.

Hmm, sounds like wait-for-a-steam-sale tier, although I do want to encourage the devs to keep bringing these games to PC.
Yup, modders incoming.
That's today. It's not a pre-order.
Maybe. I probably should have mentioned that in the review. The UI elements and character art are also fuzzy, but better than I expected coming from a Vita/PS3 game.

Same here. I'd love to support it but if it's a minimum effort port I'll most likely wait for a sale. Sorry XSEED

Wonder what it looks like with the new (for PS4/PC) visual filters taken off? There's an awful lot of post processing going on in all of them, which might be to blame for the softer, non-native look.
2D elements like text and the HUD being non-native is to be expected -- they were probably designed around the 720p output of the PS3 version, and Acquire likely didn't redo them for PS4 or the PC port. I'd like to be proven wrong, of course!

Some of these shots don't look like they're being rendered at 1920x1080.
Also, am I going crazy or is that chromatic aberration in an anime styled game?
You can adjust color offset in the visual (not graphics) editor. You might be able to adjust that? Not sure, I didn't want to alter the image too much from the default.

I have a Vita, Ps3, Ps4 and mid-low-end laptop. Which version of the game is considered the best? Is the Vita version any good?
PS4 is the most feature heavy (Including Toy Box mode and streaming features like making panties rain)
If you want portable, go with Vita. It kinda runs bad on PS3/Vita, tho
PS4 version might be the more content-rich version, maybe definitive version for now. But if we get some fixes for the PC port, it can definitely be the best. Stream integration isn't a game seller (yet) and Toy Box could be replicated with mods.

Of course it is. The game's not gonna need 8 GB system RAM either. Inexperienced devs always overestimate it.
