MisterJoint84 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I curently own Nioh: Complete edition on PS4 and am yet to start it. My question for anyone who has the upgraded PS5 edition, is it worth paying the extra or just playing what I have via backward compatibility on PS5? Obviously, if it had a free upgrade it would be a no brainer but alas that is not the case with Nioh 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimb0mb Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Honestly, imo the only selling point would probably be 120fps, but you do need a display which supports 120fps. Other than that, the PS4 version of Nioh already runs at or close to 4K and stable 60fps on PS5. You could totally stick to the PS4 version.

DEI2EK Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I thought the upgrades for Nioh 1 and 2 were free, is this not the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a 120hz TV, played Black Ops Cold War at 120fps but I was only really bothered about that when playing MP. 60fps is smooth enough for me, even at 1080P I don't mind too much. I'll probably stick to the PS4 BC version then and grab the free upgrade for Nioh 2. Annoying they didn't go down the free upgrade path for 1!

steel6burgh Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) the game looks great. Much better than on the ps4 but with that said it's not really worth buying it again if you already have it 100% on ps4. Not unless you are a die hard nioh fan who wants to stack it. It's better quality graphics for sure and they did a nice job with it. Edited February 5, 2021 by steel6burgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both PS4 Nioh games run at 4K 60fps in variable movie mode on PS5. This is a known fact, plenty of tests out there. Backwards compatibility made the remasters feel a bit irrelevant in that sense, unless you care about going up to 120fps. I guess the native PS5 version looks a bit better, but it's certainly not worth paying full price for imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepheroithisgod Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Nah, the game looks slightly better, but its not worth the asking price. If there was a small upgrade fee, sure, but $50 for a game I own already and all the dlc I already bought? Hell no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjise Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Keep the PS4 version, it's not worth to buy the game full price, unless you really care about 120 fps a lot. 60 fps for this game I feel is enough to have a great experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalHmd Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 What about the load times? if the upgrade is not worth it, I’ll keep the ps4 version of 1 and buy 2 for the ps5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterJoint84 Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Thanks for all the replies, seems like the general consensus is its not worth paying extra for the very slightly upgraded PS5 upgrade compared to the backwards compatible digital complete edition I currently own. Should have been a free upgrade like the 2nd one really. I'll stick with what I've got! Edited February 6, 2021 by MisterJoint84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can carry over your PS4 progress to the PS5 version and it autopops most trophies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalalHmd Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Well thanks to this thread, I just downloaded the ps4 Nioh will buy the collection on sale to play Nioh 2 and when I feel like revisiting Nioh down the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayadome Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 So worth it for the 120fps upgrade alone. Transforms the game and makes it so enjoyable to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
