Here’s hoping they’ve sorted out those terrible performance issues
We already knewNo More Heroes 3washeading to PC this year, but now we finally know when: October 11th, according to new trailer from publisher XSEED. So pop it in your calendars, folks, and have watch of Travis Touchdown’s latest zany adventure below.
So here’s hoping the PC version doesn’t suffer the same fate. Publisher XSEED do mention “improved HD visuals and framerates, along with faster loading times” in the blurb of their release date announcement trailer on YouTube, although most of the trailer focuses, understandbly, on the flashy fights and cutscenes rather than the city, making it hard to tell exactly if or how it’s been improved.
Still, it’s good to seeNo More Heroesgetting more love on PC. While Ed wasn’t particularly enamoured with last year’s HD remaster of the first game in hisNo More Heroes review, I remember the original Wii version fondly when I first played it 15 years ago (lawd). In fairness, a big part of why the PC version didn’t quite land with Ed was precisely because it didn’t have those classic Wii waggle controls. That, and it’s fundamentally quite a basic port of a game that was made in the mid to late 00s.
As a lover of good boss gauntlet games, though (which No More Heroes definitely is), I’m excited to play No More Heroes 3 in a version that’s hopefully more fit for public consumption. Come on, XSEED, don’t let me down.
At the moment, only Steam and Microsoft Store versions of No More Heroes 3 are confirmed for PC (as well as your PlayStations and Xboxes), but store pages don’t seem to be live just yet. Still, plenty of time to go before launch day on October 11th, eh?
