Too bad no physical for Vita. I'll probably just import at some point.

maybe they are waiting closer to launch before announcing stuff, ill be happy with a meager steelcase all in metal black
hoping for the best though, wouldnt think twice to buy a second PS4 if it looks cool (berserk themed)
They're making a Vita version.....
They still haven't reached the best case scenario, but I guess that depends on what you're using as a point of comparison and whether or not you're unlucky enough to have the "wrong" set of PC specs (as in certain mobile cards and Windows 10?) that they're not accounting for in their optimization. Which, needless to say, shouldn't even be a problem in the first place if their port team did everything right.
In relative terms, it can be argued that Arslan and Dragon Quest Heroes were both better than their previous ports. This doesn't mean absolutely nobody on the planet ever ran into any issues while playing them, not necessarily, but they did have PS4 assets and some other improvements. AFAIK, One Piece is their only PC game that had Vita-like assets because of the graphic options debacle.
Speaking only for myself, I have had a relatively acceptable experience with their ports. Thus I'll probably get the Berserk game on PC as long as it's not outright unplayable (and even then I'd just refund it).

Sweet. Way sooner than I expected. 
Playable Silat and Skully, please.
You make it sound like it'd be a hard task to surpass such trash as that. The PS2 game has better CG animated scenes, for crying out loud (more similar in style to Miura's actual manga).

Been awhile since I've played a dynasty warriors game but goddamn I can't turn down a berserk game.

Wow, I was hoping for physical vita in Europe at least. I wonder if there will be Asian+ English physical vita release?
Hah hah hah....
My 980m and 960m did not do well with this game. Those GPUs are by no means slouches either. The Dragon Quest port is not great. It is not good. I wouldn't even call it mediocre. It's bad. I wish I knew what set ups are running this game so well. Probably people still using Windows 7 and older architecture than Maxwell.
I don't know if NVIDIA Optimus causes issues or if there something going on with mobile GPUs (maxwell arch in particular) but KT games just run like shit on them. Like I said. It took me a long time to get Samurai Warriors to run on both my gaming laptops. All because of their inability to get game to run outside of Window 7 compatibility.
If you're a late comer to KT games make sure to read the newest ratings for them. They have less fanboy dribble in them and more facts as to how the game runs on different hardware. Only reason my dumbass keeps buying their games is that hopefully one day they actually hire a competent porting company to help them rather than just run these games off their slave labor assembly line and onto the STEAM store fronts never to get patched.
I think the only KT game to have a fix after release is Dead or Alive.

PS4 is basically a PC so PC port shouldn't be an issue. It will require very little effort in comparison to porting from PS3.

Minor gripe.
Guts is using the Dragonslayer in the screenshot depicting Zodd, this is not right as it is before the end of the Golden Age (you can tell by the fact he still has his left hand) Guts does not lose his original sword until the battle at Doldrey when it breaks in battle when Guts is fighting General Boscogn.

Thanks for the spoilers.
It's an almost 30 years old manga with two anime, three movies and multiple video games. That scene isn't even a third into the series. Would you also say...idk, Goku being an alien is a spoiler? Darth Vader being Luke's father?
OT: Those screenshots look so good. Day-1 despite Musou, could be loads of fun if it has local MP.
Why are you in this thread, anyone whose seen berserk would know this, its not even that deep in.
That's not the Dragonslayer.
And the sword is too small (slim) to be the Dragonslayer.
Hm yeah, upon further inspection this is just his regular sword from the Golden Age. Dragonslayer's handle looks different.
Im in this tread for a new game that im not obligated to know the story to it, almost like with any new game, entered to know more information about release date, i know itsa game mostly for people who read the anime, but im not obligated to know the story to be excited for a game, its almost like people who read the game of thrones go spoiling what happens to a caracter in a tv serie.

This game is hardly going to be the best way to experience this story. It'll be truncated and confusing to newcomers, I bet. Read the original comics (manga) for the full experience. Or watch the 90s anime series first, at least, then read the manga.

A dream come true.
No Xbox release
wonder why. Attack on titan is getting an xbox one release, this game might.
Thank you, im watching the anime right now, about half the season, its still confusing but im liking it

Don't be like that.
The anime just started. Its pretty safe to assume there's a lot of new people watching it. Game of Thrones is 20 years old, is it cool to post spoilers about that? I mean theres still stuff from the books that's only been teased in the show.
Grunbeld.
For what it's worth, that spoiler's basically nothing. All it talks about is when Guts starts using his signature sword.

If you bought an Xbox expecting to play Japanese games on it you done fucked up.

Something tells me I am going to be double dipping for this game... Collectors Edition if there is one for the PS4 and a digital copy from Steam

I had to stop playing the Arslan game and start watching the anime. I didn't know plot could move that fast. Didn't want to ruin the story for myself with the game. With the amount of ground the Berserk game will be covering, it'll definitely be moving at a similar speed.

I hope there's more type of enemies than what is shown in the pictures.
If Koei games could die they would not have been able to get away with using the same tired formula for 2 decades. And with them able to license major video game/anime franchise so easily, the Warriors games must be pulling serious numbers.
It didn't.
The new anime is a continuation. Anyone new to the series should stop watching and either watch the movies, the anime in 97 or read the manga.
Besides the reaction is overblown, it spoils very little.
Given how quickly the turnaround time is for this I wonder if the English text would be included in the Japanese release.
Edit: I wonder if the old actors will come back if they're dubbing it too. Berserks dub is kind of campy in a 90s cartoon way, but I do think the voices match the characters.

Good. It gives me time to read the manga. I've already started it after seeing the 97 anime few weeks ago, but I'm stuck on the chapters that were animated and currently lack the time and motivation to will my way through these old parts.

Sooooo excited. Need to find the manga, tho, and get reading, because my only exposure has been the 90s anime, the movies, and the new anime. Any recommendations for where to get them cheap?
Was reading the manga just before this got announced at E3 and recently got caught up. I couldn't be any more excited for this! Looks absolutely fantastic!
Dying to see some more gameplay footage and what other playable characters will be available (Pippin, Skull Knight, Zodd and Serpico please!).

Smells like fresh rosebuds
Probably just use the vas that did the movie a couple years ago
It would seem it goes up to volume 34-35 (up until the beginning of the Fantasia Arc).
Probably skipping the Conviction Arc, like the new TV show
Final boss is definitely going to be

I play Dragon Quest Heroes with a GTX 970 on Windows 10 using an X1 wireless controller. No special compatibility configuration or anything, I didn't tweak anything fancy, I'm using default max settings. I've only (?) spent 22 hours on it, but it runs perfectly, with great performance, no crashes, and superior visuals to the console releases. No resolution support above 1080p is all I can reasonably complain about. It's a great port, if Berserk is the same I'll be completely satisfied.
I don't really have any interest in it, but Arslan is supposed to be an even better port.
Like I said, by all means people should be pessimistic. That's absolutely fair. Omega Force has released a lot of cruddy PC ports. But they have been getting better, and this idea that they simply can't do the platform right is false. That's all I'm arguing against, we don't need to spin up a narrative that the Berserk port is inherently doomed.
(In my eyes DOA5 is actually one of their worst ports. Ignoring visual issues, online remains borked and still doesn't even let you play games with friends. Inexcusable.)

All we need is skull knight and some playable villains for it to be a A+ in its character roster.
