So asking if a just announced game is planned for Platform X is port-begging now ? You guys need to chill a bit when it comes to Switch. If the first post would have asked if its coming to Vita as well you wouldnt have complained.

Well, it was announced on Dengeki Playstation so it would have been fine if people was to ask about Vita version.

 

[2+2=5]

The vita will hold it back.

How do you think developers choose the consoles for their games?
If they had the resources to make it a full PS4 game or they thought that the PS4 alone would have been enough they would have made the game PS4 exclusive, obviously those weren't the case.

 

[Pinko Marx]

The vita will hold it back.

Budget will hold it back more than the Vita can.

 

[Kieli]

Switch?

Yes, I had to switch my pants because I got too excited.

 

[added_time]

This looks awesome! Turn based is my favourite <3

 

[Shoeless]

I'm in. A weird, metaphysical turn-based JRPG is just the ticket for me. If has even the remotest vibe of an SMT game--since none is available on PS4--it'll be money well spent.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Impressive how little was in that teaser considering it was nearly two minutes long. Game itself sounds cool though!

 

[cw_sasuke]

This is a game announcement thread where the platforms are clearly established. It used to be that going into a thread such as this and derailing conversation by asking if the game is coming to [insert other platform here] was a bannable offense.

If the first post was "Vita?", there would've been a bunch of replies along the lines of "lol, Vita is dead" and "let it go."

Yes? That is and always was the intent behind port-begging. Furthermore, it does nothing but shits up discussion with the hypothetical instead of said announcement kind of like this.

The initial post stated that the final details will be known once the Famitsu article will be uploaded obv. Degenki would only list the PS platforms. We have had similar situation in the past.

We now know that its coming to PSV/PS4 so any further platform discussion is unnecessary....but i dont see how jumping on a Poster because of a platform question a couple minutes after the thread was started helps the discussion. Unless its a known troll or shitposter i dont think the hostile attitude helps anyone.

But reading Grim Patrons two posts in this thread it seem like he wasnt really interested in the game and just wanted to have his first post piss people off.....so im wrong on this one, sry.

Plattform discussion is a natural part of the conversation when a new game gets announced, especially if not all infos are official or been leaked.

Well, it was announced on Dengeki Playstation so it would have been fine if people was to ask about Vita version.

Seeing the reaction in this thread you are probably right. I remember there was a time where you could still mention other system early on in this thread....but Switch port begging is making both sides go kinda crazy - so yeah i get it.

Sry for the Derail.

 

[daveo42]

But imagine all the cool enemies we could be fighting!

I mean, those are demons in that second pic and the description included demons...so...

 

[ethomaz]

Looks good.

Glad it is on Vita.

 

[slightconfuse]

Hope it plays better. Didn't finish the last game because it was really boring

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Are people sure the mentioning of "Switch" is for port begging and not a nod to the the "Switch logo click" sounds heard throughout the teaser trailer?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Sounds cool. I'm in. Would still like to see an El Shaddai port at some point, too...

 

[Harlock]

No El Shaddai remaster? Is a game that could do very well on PC also.

 

[duckroll]

That was being made by Kadokawa. This is just published by them. Pretty sure they'll start working on that DRPG project once they're done with God Wars.

I'm not sure about this. It's all under Kadokawa Games. There's no indication that they're "just" publishing this, instead of developing it as well. After all, the director Takeyasu Sawaki supposedly already worked on God Wars as a monster designer as well, so he could well have joined Kadokawa Games.

 

[DemWalls]

If the character art is anything to go by, this will be far less original than El Shaddai, visually. Hoping that's not the case.

 

[orochi91]

Modern day setting has me hyped.

Please be good~~~

:V

Yeah im worried it wont look like el shaddai, especially with the game being on vita.

 

[Shizuka]

In for a Vita copy in case it gets localized.

 

[ASaiyan]

Very intriguing announcement. El Shaddai had beautifully unique art and characters and I'm excited to see more of it. Interested to see whether they can pull off a good turn-based RPG (which I love), since that's such a different genre from El Shaddai. Also praying it gets localized again, lol.

A ps4 version of a japanese game is going to get localized. Its not like the 3ds where they can make all the money they want just from japan.

Yeah, PS4 version will come over. Vita one is not a guarantee by any means.

 

[takoyaki]

The Teaser Site is now open with a big update planned for May 29

Famitsu has the game listed with a release date of Summer 2017

edit: bigger version of the key art from Dengeki

 

[.la1n]

The art looks great. As a fan of the people behind it; I am thoroughly excited. It's also great news that they are shooting for Summer 2017. I hope this means we could see it stateside this holiday season or earlier.

 

[Hexer06]

Nice! I'll be in for this. El Shaddai was a pretty cool game when it came out.

 

[OmegaDL50]

Since it's Kadokawa, NISA will probably pounce on it.

Since it's Kadokawa, it's also probably going to be a zero budget piece of trash lol.

In case you aren't aware. Kadokawa owns From Software.

Just because Kadokawa is the publisher doesn't imply the development project they publish is low budget or trash.

 

[Shaanyboi]

El Shaddai was a game that got real old, real fast. I was glad to have bought it for like $2 or whatever it was on XBL that one time, but not sure how interested I am in this.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

I hope this is trippy as all hell. The best part of El Shaddai was easily the strange visual aspects which I think would make for a fantastic jrpg.

 

[MrDoctor]

turn-based?
modern tokyo?
demons?
lucifer(fel)?

you don't say...

 

[Koppai]

I don't think I ever played through El Shaddai but I do own it

 

[LastOne2100]

Definitely interested. El Shaddai oozed with style and while the game itself wasn't that good, everything I've heard so far sounds like a direction that interests me.

Will be on my radar.

 

[BBboy20]

Is El Shaddai worth playing btw?

Yes.

 

[Takao]

I am aware Kadokawa owns From. I'm also aware that we've yet to see a single Kadokawa-published From title.

Well, key art is promising at least. I wonder if it'll make summer though.

@Game

Cant see much on those Fami scans but lets hope it turns out good.

It's getting old as hell. Every single thread is a Switch port beg. If every thread was begging for Vita ports, people would bitch about that too.

 

[takoyaki]

First in-game screenshot and a bit more info from Famitsu, already translated on Gematsu

 

[Kresnik258]

So it's a first person DRPG then?

So it was that other Project Code game. lol. Vita will hold it back!

 

[Augemitbutter]

looks great. i need more dungeon crawler style rpgs.

 

[Acquiescence]

First in-game screenshot and a bit more info from Famitsu, already translated on Gematsu

Yeah, that... doesn't look great. And neither does the other screenshot on Gematsu.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

Love the art. The gameplay I am never too fond of first person dungeon crawler games.

 

[2+2=5]

I get that Kadokawa is really into drpgs, but they should definitively try more genres.

 

[Linkura]

First in-game screenshot and a bit more info from Famitsu, already translated on Gematsu

Well... that's indeed a turn-based RPG.

Too bad I don't like DRPGs.

 

[Gbraga]

First in-game screenshot and a bit more info from Famitsu, already translated on Gematsu

Oh.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Why does this look like a mobile game?

 

[2+2=5]

Why does this look like a mobile game?

It's too early to say anything about graphics... but it probably has the budget of a mobile game.

 

[10k]

Turn based? Modern Japan? You have my attention.

 

[snow in jamaica]

First in-game screenshot and a bit more info from Famitsu, already translated on Gematsu

Sure looks like a Kadokawa DRPG. Not even a hint of El Shaddai here. Extremely boring.

RIP

 

[Z3M0G]

Hmmm... will need to really stand out to catch my attention as a DRPG... I love starting them, but always get bored or stuck rather quickly. I had to stop myself from buying the latest ones.

 

[LeleSocho]

First in-game screenshot and a bit more info from Famitsu, already translated on Gematsu

oooooh.... well i'm out.
No wonders this thing runs on a Vita.

 

[Shifty]

What? The fact that its turn base is what is exciting here. If there was a knock against El Shaddai was its floaty controls and unresponsive combat, which this being a turn base could negate that.

I'd have preferred to see them refine what they had and make it better. When it comes to good hack and slash these days, it's pretty much Platinum or bust. We need more devs serving the genre.

Edit: Welp.
