Speaking of PC settings, there aren't a huge number of them to begin with. This is the extent of Persona 4 Golden's graphics settings. The latter is set to 3 by default, but even knocking it down to 1 was still a bit dizzying. All you've got is an on / off V-Sync button and the option to slow down the camera speed. There's no option to cap the frame rate at a particular setting, for example. There are precious few settings in the configuration menu to help fix it, too. It's less pronounced in the game's dungeons - perhaps because you can control the camera here and there's an extra CRT filter effect helping to mitigate some of that horizontal camera blur - but I found it to be quite disorientating when I was caning it around the school and the streets of Inaba. The PS Vita ran at a smooth 30fps back in the day, but bumping that up to 60fps and beyond introduces quite a lot of motion blur in the PC port as you leg it around town. The biggest issue is that uncapped frame rate. If you can get over the fact that this is an old game, then there's still plenty to like here. It's just a straightforward port - and we've seen similar barebones ports from Sega and Atlus before in the shape of Catherine Classic early last year. This isn't a remaster or a remake of Persona 4 Golden after all. In some respects, this is to be expected. not pretty, and you can see the lines where the flat textures splice together. Its stylised dungeons come off a little better, and the up-ressed character models have a quaint, chibi-style charm to them, but the rest of it can frequently feel quite archaic. Flat sheets of grass stand out by a country mile, and its shabby-looking school buildings feel even more run-down than normal. In 2020, these textures haven't received nearly as much love as you might have hoped for in the PC port, and it's here where you can feel the game's age most keenly. Shuttered storefronts and grey tarmac abound in this country town, making it a pretty grim place to be even back in 2008. To make matters worse, its big, shiny department store has gutted much of the local high street of its mom-and-pop shops and rural flavour. It doesn't help that the game's setting is meant to be a bit of a nowhere town in the first place. It helps distract from what's going on behind said portraits and text boxes, because man oh man, Inaba is not a town that's aged gracefully. On PC, the latter have never looked more lovely, and it's great to see all that stylised artwork in crisp, 4K detail. When you're not tapping your foot to its funky battle music, you're staring at big, visual novel-style text boxes and character portraits. The character models still look every bit as gorgeous as they did in 2012, only now they're in lovely 4K. With the police at a loss, it's up to you and your friends to try and solve these murders taking place around your hometown and catch the killer.

There's a serial killer on the loose on Persona 4 Golden, you see, and he seems to be luring his victims to a parallel universe called the Midnight Channel that *checks notes* exists inside your TV. During the day, you go to school with your mates to boost your stats and strengthen your bonds with those around you, while at night you go and hit those aforementioned dungeons to try and rescue people who have gone missing around the town.

In case you're unfamiliar with the Persona series, this is a JRPG series that's part dungeon crawler, part social sim. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.įortunately, it gets the big things right. The PC version brings with it some welcome additions, such as support for higher resolutions and a 16:9 aspect ratio, but others such as its uncapped frame rate are more problematic.

This is a pretty basic port of the PlayStation Vita version from 2012, which itself is a port of the 2008 PS2 original, and it looks and feels every bit like it was made eight years ago. This is a series I've been busting to play on PC for absolutely yonks, and I've been putting the PC port of Persona 4 Golden through its paces to see how it holds up.īefore we get too excited, though, I do have to be a bit of a party pooper. Announced just moments ago at the PC Gaming Show as part of this year's notE3 celebrations, this is the first time a Persona game has been released on something that doesn't have the word PlayStation written on it, which is pretty darn exciting if you ask me. Persona 4 Golden has finally been summoned onto PC.
