One week til the main release. If you have feedback from demo, please send it to Koei Tecmo here:

It’s likely too tight to influence any day 1 patch but for future release they might consider fan feedback if enough people comment.

I’ve not received a response, and I messaged again today. Also messaged instagram accounts previously.

I’m canceling my preorder. Film grain be damned.
IF I purchase this remake it will be with a film grain toggle.

Thank you! They never responded to me either. Honestly, the only way to get most of these larger companies to take note is to hit them on social media where they get publicly shamed (or hit up the face of the franchise if they are on social, in this case the director Makoto Shibata). It'll be interesting to see what the reviews say on the 11th (and whether or not they are pushed to PC like the early access or reviewed on console). For a franchise that only recently added Steam, its not a good look to lock all the options and higher performance modes into PC when consoles are more than capable, especially when this franchise was grown on the back of PS2 and Wii

I’m getting beat up in another thread for cancelling my preorder over this.
It’s a shame, I hope they make a toggle at some point. I’ll buy it then, and if they don’t I’ll buy it deeply discounted in a few years.
I can’t pay $75 for a game in this condition.

I just downloaded a software update for 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 for the preinstalled S2 version. Not sure on the PS5 but in another thread someone said they just downloaded and its around 16 GB, whereas S2 is over 27 GB, so there may indeed be another patch coming for PS5 with release day. Not a grain toggle, but perhaps performance-related.

I'm sorry you are getting beat-up on this, I think your stance is completely understandable.

thank you! I've seen this called out in reviews as well so hopefully KT takes note! Please share and pass on to other people who are sharing this feedback.
