This feels like I’m back in the PS2/Xbox/GC era where a game franchise would come out for PS2 and then they would randomly release a sequel of it for all 3 platforms. Those other players had to just deal with never knowing what happened in the first few parts.

I’d only be interested in double dipping if this were a collection of all 3.

No More Heroes 3 needs Enable Steam Input to function on my setup with my controller. It also launches Oculus software like it thinks it's a VR game. It has few graphical options in a separate configuration app (not sure if it can all also be changed in-game though, it's listed there as well with more stuff). Slight issues like aliasing and some texture streaming visible here and there. Also some videos aren't in-engine despite seeming so. Other than that it feels pretty damn cool and takes me back to first playing the original game in the best way possible (not with the barebones PC version, yuck).
Edit: I was going to add screenshots but, at least with my settings in regards to resolution, mode and whatever else, Afterburner just got blank black screens

So....bad news. PC port is a straight up Switch port.

Aren't all the settings tied to an ini file?, I could have sworn someone figure out how to up the settings of the switch version on yuzu?

I did see something in terms of tweaking the .ini file. At least this version has that going for it.

So odd that the game used two porting companies (Muteki for consoles, Bees Tribe for PC) for this. Should have went with Engine Software instead.

$60 for the physical version.
$45 for the standard version on pc/psn/xbl digital versions, $54 for the deluxe version. 10% discount until the 21st.

You can get NMH3 ini edits here. I haven't seen comparison screens. The intro seemed the same to me but apparently they don't apply all stuff to cut scenes.No More Heroes 3 needs Enable Steam Input to function on my setup with my controller.

How to improve shadows and draw distance :: No More Heroes 3 General Discussions
Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\No More Heroes 3\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor, open Engine.ini and insert this at the bottom: r.MaxAnisotropy=16 r.DepthOfFieldQuality=5 (Can be turned off by changing value to 0) r.LightMaxDrawDistanceScale=3 r.StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=0.001 r.SkeletalMeshLODBias=-2...
Didn't know there had been a PS4 version so as a Switch port this seemed okay. It's also the original vs something like DQXI being a later downgrade. Not that they couldn't have done a better job but oh well, again, the game is fun (I also prefer NMH1 on Wii vs PS3 but that had art style changes).
Edit: I watched the intro bits on a PS5 youtube video and it looks like they made that much better, you can see the actual city where on PC it's gone and there's some super low res skybox thing with I dunno, a tree and a light post, you can barely tell since it's so low resolution really, PS1-like stuff.
Also this is the first game I ever get drifting in with my DS4, it must have 0 deadzone (even so I set it to 0 in RA with no issues so far). It's not really an issue as you need to tilt the stick just right (or wrong) and let it go super lightly to continue walking without you pressing anything, just saying...

I love NMH and I was excited that 3 will come to PS5. I think the price is fair, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 59 or so. But its 45 with Plus.
I like it so far. Its a lot like the original game which is good. But NMH3 has much more responsive gameplay and performance.

The combat in NMH3 is vastly improved compare to 1st & 2nd game, especially compare to 2nd game because to me NMH2's combat was too button mashy, you didn't even had to use perfect dodge in that game.

So, I get the impression that no one played this on the PS5/XSX ?
Got this a couple of weeks ago for my XSX and...I like it, it's more Suda51 fuckery which is fine by me, the aesthetics/art-direction, writing (what writing?
) , characters and OST are all there so everything is fine.
What's not fine though is the friggin' texture loading that happens e-v-e-r-y time the screen loads something new, the actual loading screens which can take up to 6-7 seconds, the almost non-existent texture work on some parts of the game (i.e : the DVD cases/covers in the video shop are literally "blobs") and the - pretty much - empty city, I can understand that it was the same in NMH1 but that was ages ago and it gives the game this very, very budget feeling.
At least, it runs at a rock solid 60fps compared to the abominable framerate of the switch version.
On the plus side, the combat is the best it's ever been since it's very fluid, features nice animations and is more complex than ever with perfect dodges, perfect counters, grabs, jumping attacks and various unlockable moves.
Exploration is fine, bike feels fine/fun to ride, all the classic NMH1 minigames are there and the overworld, while barren and sterile as fook it gives this very chill/relaxed feeling when doing chores/exploring etc due to its clean and uncluttered look (maybe it was done on purpose like this?) in conjunction with the chill jazzy soundtrack in the background, I really like it, the game really is greater than the sum of its parts, still, this is a budget release through and through and IMO, it should have released at no more than 30-35 bucks/eurotrons.
To sum it all up :
- Game runs perfectly fine at 60fps but everything is really low budget and it shows.
- Texture loading issues/bad texture work.
- Plays perfectly fine and it's very enjoyable if you are a NMH/Suda51 fan.
PS: how I wish for a high budget Suda51 game - maybe the games would lose their edgy/hipster/punk "soul" that way and yet, I can help but wonder what the results would be.

I was really looking forward too it, after playing killer is dead earlier in the year 2022 via BC on the series x, what I honestly thought was a much better game in every way, the moment I finished KID, I went straight back for a hard playthrough & then preordered this.
Probably my biggest disappointment off the year 2022 tbh.

Can't blame you brother, at first, the game leaves you with a VERY bad impression due to the technical problems i mentioned and the - generally speaking - low budget feeling which is almost palpable, and yet, it really does get better after you put some time in it, again, this is a game which is greater than the sum of its parts, after a couple of hours everything will just "click" and you'll stop worrying about the technical shortcomings etc...
I mean, I bought the game, left it sitting there kinda disgusted and started it up again the other day - put 5 hours into it in just 2 day's time - it just "clicked" for me in the end.
Have to agree on Killer is dead, that's a much better produced game through and through
Cheers

I hated everything related to the open world, including all the mundane mini games/tasks.
Nonsensical/amusing story I expected and it kinda delivered.
Combat was good, but I hated there wasn't really levels at all and just battle areas that you go to via navigating the awful map.
Like you mentioned, about a second later stuff kinda loads in on every transition on the cutscenes.
I think over half the open world map is locked off with the red stuff and never accessible (apparently a switch limitation was the reason when building the game originally)
I just expected so much more after seeing how much newer than killer is dead this game is, and I felt like it regressed in pretty much every aspect, even story and wildness, killer is dead is absolutely wild.
Another trivial complaint, the achievements are mega bugged, I collected all them stupid stone head things to be awarded no acheivement
Plus killer is dead looks better too, the art style and the way it oozes style throughout, hopefully killer is dead gets revisited one day.
Tbh it's the only game I've sold in the past few years as I don't tend to sell games, but I just didn't like it at all sadly
I really wanted too like it as well

No thanks.
