From my experience with the Japanese version, the game sits around 30FPS almost all the time and only rises above it when there is no one else on screen (which in a Musou game is like 1% of the time!). The frame rate is pretty jerky as well, I get used to it after playing it for a while but the frame rate is definitely the worst point of the port no doubt.
KOEI's own videos show it running on the Vita. They seem on par for what I'd expect of a Vita port.

haha, dät thread title 
will buy as soon as it's on the 40$ pricepoint, can't justify buying the PS4 "port" at a full price.

Modern Dynasty Warriors is pretty much a mostly linear action game with little done to change up the pacing and such. The default difficulty is usually balanced to be easily finished, basically 'driving by" the game. If you want to raise tension and difficulty, play on hard, rather than normal. That way, things like archers surrounding your character actually matter.

When abouts will this be up digitally for PS4? Later today?
This too I would like to know.

PSN is ass backwards and updates whenever, so look for it from... 12EDT to 8EDT. lol
Of course. But Jim said in his escapist review that it's still beautiful, just with the occasional slowdown and soldiers popping in and out.
Getting the PS4 version on Thursday, maybe slightly earlier if time allows. But can't wait either way!

It's not a constant framerate at all and the drops are all over the place. It depends on the stage/area of the stage. Really hard to gauge exact numbers. It's nothing game breaking (that was only the Vita version, pre-patch) and doesn't affect the game play, but I am disappointed that Koei didn't try for a locked frame rate, even if that meant dropping it down to 30.

GameStop proving that hate money by only getting preorder copies in and then giving me shit about it.
Guess PSN it is.

Official physical release where I live is April 2nd.
Good that it gives me a buffer time to finish some stuff I still have to do on vanilla DX8.

Oh nice, you can turn off the PS4 DOF filter thing?
Alright.
I'm in.

I love DW, but I don't think I can justify buying this if Koei can't manage a decent 60fps here. PS4 should smoke this game.
Understandable, but if you've played DW8 on PS3, you know what to expect performance-wise-- and the huge number of enemies on-screen is glorious.

Anyone else pick up the Vita version? Is there any kind of insert or manual? Not sure if mine was supposed to come empty since I got the last gutted Gamestop copy.

I heard that Zhang Liao got a voice change and his new voice sucks?

Gotcha, thanks. I wish they would include at least a flyer. Looks so bare otherwise.

Not seeing any options to toggle fog as people have been mentioning. Not seeing any way to toggle the controller speaker... Having trouble running around these massive maps to save every shitty officer on my side as they constantly need my babysitting... The map is a jumble of icons and blinking shit that I can't decipher...
Slicing dudes is fun, but I really gotta settle into this before I make any judgments.

Nope, not an error. PS4 is $59.99 and Vita is $39.99.
Yes, at least that is what the download bar says.

The US version of DW8XL on PS4 does NOT currently have the option to turn off DOF. It was apparently added in a 1.01 patch for Japan. I'm hoping we'll get it soon.
Other than the DOF, it's the same fun as DW8. It plays very smooth! The frame rate was very consistent when I played for about 45 minutes this morning in the Jin campaign.

Bought it this morning on psn for PS4. I'll be on later tonight if Anyone wants to do some Co op. This is my first Dynasty warriors game I've bought in a couple years. I'm assuming its kinda like the Gundam ones. Psn: Agent_ShortBus

Is there any way to buy that Lu Bu Hotei Costume DLC nowadays?

Holy cow the voices coming out of the controller on the DS4(and the voices being MUCH quieter on the TV) and the DOF. Kind of disappointed so far because of those 2 things.
Sounds like it, yeah.

I've always wanted to play some DW but never really got the chance. I watched someone play this over PS4 sharing this morning, it looks fun but definitely has a hey-we-did-a-quicky-port-from-PS3 vibe to it. Color me interested, but not for $60. Hopefully I can land this at a discount or sale sometime soon.

Hold the PS button, go to adjust devices and you can turn down/off the controller speaker... So far there's no option to turn it off in game and its a minor complaint from me too.Holy cow the voices coming out of the controller on the DS4(and the voices being MUCH quieter on the TV) and the DOF.

Hoping it'll come in a patch like it did for Japan apparently. They are on 1.01 and US has 1.0.

OK, so far Ambition mode is much more fun than Story mode. I love the progression that happens at the base, feels like a meatier mode overall.
Do you know when that patch was released? I got the Japanese version just a few days after it came out. Don't remember being prompted to download a patch on PSN.

There were some comments on GameFAQs about the Japanese version being 1.01 compared to the Asia version's 1.0 and the feature being new: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/730572-dynasty-warriors-8-xtreme-legends-complete-edition/68618019
It could've just been pressed onto their disc. Sadly we didn't get it
Are the Japanese voices not on the disc? I bought the game earlier but haven't played it yet and a friend who has it says there's no option to switch languages. I don't see why they wouldn't just put them on the disc, and there's no Japanese voice DLC listed on today's store update either. I guess I'll be waiting to play it if so.
thanks for the detailed post
guess I'll skip this then... have yet to even finish DW:Next
(finished 7 (my first ever plat) on PS3 though)
I would love to play the other titles you've mentioned on the Vita... but no localisation :/
so in terms of technical quality, DW:Next > DW8CE Vita?

Ah, yes. I knew I was missing something when I mentioned that it's been disappointing me.
No language switch option on the disc, and Tecmo Koei is skirting around giving a date.
