So will people blame the low sales (if they happen) on the locked resolution and fps again?They haven't been able to fix any of the other KT games, don't hold your breath.

Quick port after the PS4 version. Unlocking resolution and frame rate likely means more QA and bug testing that SE can't afford and are cheapening out for PC.PC gamers be hard to please
how hard is it really to port to PC, why is KT so bad at it
Eh, I don't mind the straight port at 1080p60fps, as long as it runs well. My monitor can't go higher anyway.

Hopefully Dragon Quest being such a well known franchise will lead to more people attempting to fix it, although I obviously don't know whether it's possible or not.They haven't been able to fix any of the other KT games, don't hold your breath.

Still, this is one of the best port that KT will release on PC (from the sound of it) and unless it is a disaster at launch, I expect PC folks to buy it atleast. They better do if they want the second part on Steam.

Funny how a small studio like Idea Factory/CompileHeart does a better much of porting their games to Steam. KT port of their games just feels so half assed in comparison.
Is this out yet?
See the problem is that other people monitors go over or even if they don't maybe some people want to use DSR so while it doesn't negatively impact you it's still not a good thing.
Speaking of bad things, 6pm unlock time for Europe instead of right now, sucks.
locked at 1080p?
Thanks but no thanks.

Modders will probably unlock the resolution cap anyway. I'm just happy it's the PS4 version.
KOEI Tecmo only released at least 6 games this year before DQ Heroes.
And how many of them were on par with the ps4 counterparts?
Yea... I don't trust them. I will believe it when I see impressions from gaf.
Well they didn't release 9000 games this year on Steam, I never said anything about their graphical quality or coerced you about it :V
The games run fine for me but their graphical quality and presentation leaves much to be desired.
Well true, but I was obviously being sarcastic. No one releases 9000 ga!es a year anyway lol!
And yea, they run aiight, but man I don't dig the graphics. How in the world is it so hard to port from x86???? What's the excuse now?
$$$$?
KOEI Tecmo needs to stop treating Steam like 2nd class citizens for one thing :/
Look at Tales of Zesty, Bamco went so far as to demo the game and despite it being released with a 30 FPS lock, it generated 50,000+ sales within its release months of its released and come the Winter Seal, with it getting a discount, it's possible to reach 100K by February.
A good PC port can goa long way, don't dismiss it and put all focus on Consoles.
Honestly, I'm a bit worried about how this game will fare on PC.
The hype surrounding this game is pretty minimum, and I believe there's not enough time to build the hype with such a short time before release since the announcement. Moreover, this is the first Dragon Quest game on Steam. That, combined with the fact that Koei Tecmo has been pretty consistent with the quality of their PC ports, could possibly bring this game down. I really hope that this will be a good port (finally), but I'm not holding my breath.
Considering how it bombed on PS4 in West, I don't think they have high expectations.

This is Square Enix. Of course they have high, probably unrealistic expectations.
It was? I didn't know that.
I believe I've read that it sold 1 million copies in Asia. How much is it in the West?

So just TFA? Gotcha!I think it did 34k first month in USA. Don't know about Europe though. I think it might have done well in France though.

Locked to 60 fps and 1080p? Welp.
Modders to the rescue, I guess.
Is it bad that this is still better than most of KT's ports?
We're entering 2016.
There'll either be a way to expand the resolution or you can play borderless windowed.
Stop making silly drive by posts like this people...
TFA = Tales from Ass. You just said you don't even know the numbers and cited chart positions =/. Atleast wait for the SE Financial Report for the quarter DQH is released before calling it a "bomb". The only number that we have is from creamsugar and covers NPD. There is digital sales + the rest of the "West" as you put it. Maybe, at best, you can say that it didn't sell well in US but calling it a "bomb" in West is jumping to conclusions.http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=185621882&postcount=5636
According to creamsugar, although I'm not sure if this is reliable or not.
It charted at 17th position in UK on first week. Although in France, it charted at 3rd position in the total top and 2nd in the PS4 top but disappeared the week after from the PS4 top and the total top.
TFA ? What does it means ?

People were quick to shout the same for Type-0 HD but SE were happy with the sales and called it a success in their report. We will find out about the same for Dragon Quest Heroes, and if the sequel is greenlighted for the West, will this put a stop to the claim that it "bombed"?
Cited sales figures + chart positions = Tales from my Ass? Really?! The willful denial surrounding October's JPS4 threesome underperforming is truly astounding.TFA = Tales from Ass.

Come on. Read your post which said it bombed in the "West" while citing chart positions and sales figure in NPD. I am not trying to say it was a roaring success, merely stating that there is not much evidence right now to outright call the game a "bomb". The game sold pretty much the same as past Dragon Quest games. Also this postTales from ass is at least based on some concrete sources. No need to be this impolite you know. As for Type-0 HD, I'd be curious to see this financial report, because considering how the game had troubles to be moved from shelves, I'd be cautious on their happiness.
SE abandoned the franchise in the west for five years and then dropped a fan service heavy spin-off with no advertising. No one should be surprised it hasn't been selling.
DQH sold pretty much the same as the previous games sold in the West. The only denial is for people who were expecting it to light charts on fire. Which is actually hilarious since it is a Musou spin-off and not even a mainline.sörine;187682607 said:Cited sales figures + chart positions = Tales from my Ass? Really?!

Type-0 HD sold six times what DQH did in NPD btw.
