I'll give it a shot this weekend probably. Always love demos.
I think everyone knows what to expect from Yakuza though.

I don't even know if it is worth bothering to download, the game comes out in less than a week.

Yeah bad news, another stutter mess. Everytime you use a heat action or a soldier card (which by the way, the UI for that occupies half of the screen) there's a stutter.
Hype deflated, will have to wait for patches and mods for this one.

Unbelievable. Upgraded my GPU at the worst time apparently. Been playing all new games on Xbox so I don’t have to be disappointed lol

Yeah... also the combat in this demo has left me kinda cold, ditching Dragon Engine for Unreal Engine has been a big mistake, imo.

I told you that no dragon engine was a mistake.

This is an Unreal Engine remake, was kinda expected to suffer the typical UE issues.

It sure is a mistake. Hopefully they ditch this dumb idea and go back to using the DE.
Yeah but this one hurts even more since those devs have a very good engine of their own and still went the UE route for this remake. Lost Judgment looks and runs great on my system, meanwhile this demo ran kinda like shit at times while looking way worse.

Gun and sword style feels amazing. If you want to stay away from enemies you can just use gun style then run away and right bumper will auto target enemies and adjust the camera at the same time so you can just shoot. That strategy doesn't work when there are hoards of enemies running at you though.

Day 1
You might want to specify where you're downloading from because in the US of A it's free like all other standalone demos.

Germany here. Only happening with ps5. Never seen on ps4 and on xbox. Interesting that it's probably not worldwide then.

Yeah this is a day one. I like the different styles with swords, guns, swords and guns, melee.. and the cards that give abilities. Some are pretty sick.
Its a Samurai game, with yakuza heat moves and other OTT shit. Whats not to like?

Didn't like it at all. If this demo is representative of the full game than it's immediate skip. Combat is slow, clunky, weightless and have zero impact. I think it's a huge downgrade from the Dragon Engine games. Animations also looks weird and stiff. Camera which stuck in objects and refuse to move is atrocious too. I don't know for me it's a big letdown and seems like one game less to play. Thanks for the demo though

Some weird law thing about games with 18+ or no age rating (demos often don't have one) not being allowed as free downloads.
It's supposed to make sure that kids using a family account without payment options can't download those games.
You should be able to make an account for a different country and download it there for free though.

ok, yeah, that definitely feels like a PS3 era game with shinier graphics.
They should have had an open segment instead of these long winded linear combat segments.
this is a bad demo and it will put people off of the game more.

I tried it but the gameplay is so bad (for me).Nah, ps3 Yakuza games feel much better to play. This thing could be even worse than that turn-based abomination which i greatly despise.

The Way of the Samurai games just went on sale on Steam. Coincidence?
I went from day 1 to wait for a sale. The demo really left me cold.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to tell the PC bros playing this that it runs much better when forcing DX11.
Just put -d3d11 on the launch options.

I played the demo, and I enjoyed it. Played on PS5. The combat does lack some weight, but the Dualsense vibrations makes up for it a little bit. It did have the PS3 combat feel to it, but it doesn't bother me. The styles were fun to switch around, and I was doing combos and heat moves like a mad man.
Despite liking what I played, and keeping my pre-order, the demo itself should have been different. Offer start of the game up to a certain point, to make players get a feel for the whole package.

This was an... interesting demo.
Honestly, I personally would have preferred some *little* bit of tutorial info other than the splash screen. I played through the first stage in this demo until I got to the guy with the sledgehammer. He hit me into a combo, and despite pressing the dodge button 800 times, was locked into all however-many blows, knocked to the ground... and it still felt eternally sluggish to get up. There's probably some finesse and technique/advice I don't know, but I don't know... it just didn't feel good.
It's also possible the overall feel gets better with skills or something unlocked in the actual game, since I'm completely unfamiliar with it.
Either way, I'm thankful for the demo- maybe I'll come back to it some other time

Just my opinion here, but I really only enjoyed 7. I hope they make some more games like that one.

Yeah, this fixed mostly all of the stutters thankfully. Thanks!

Devs, you can't get this pos to run higher than 1440p on ps5?
