[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Rise of mana and dead man's cross getting ported over is awesome. Chaos rings is also getting ported. Any chance of Dragon quest games from ios/android getting ported over? I'll pay whatever they want. DQ8 on vita would be awesome.

 

[outunderthestars]

There is always a chance. Not sure how we would know one way or the other....

 

[jooey]

you don't want those ports on vita.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

That would be a dream come true for me. Hell, put then on PS Mobile, I'll buy them.

IV doesn't seem too bad.

 

[Corpekata]

Wouldn't doubt it. SE's been porting a handful of mobile games to a variety of platforms. Seems a bit scatter shot though, so hard to predict.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

you don't want those ports on vita.

Yes I do.

 

[entremet]

SE is such a weird company. Just release for it everything--Android, iOS, Vita, 3DS E-Shop.

4 is great on iOS, only complaint is forced portrait but it's fine other than that.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

It would be awesome. Will it happen? Probably not. Rise of Mana and Dead Man's Cross are most likely being ported as a test to see the interest in mobile games coming to Vita. If they do well, chances for DQ8 goes increases. It will go from zero chance to a slim chance if those two does well. In my opinion of course.

 

[AmanoBuff]

I've been wondering the same since the Mana announcement. I suppose they'll wait and see how successful this first batch of ports is.

I'd pay unreasonable amounts of money for DQVIII on Vita.

Spoiler

As well as for FFXII HD Vita.

 

[Alex]

Vita would be nice but I'm happy with mobile releases if they can do more on par with the release of IV.

My localization woes chiefly sit with X, right now, though it's an understandable situation.

 

[Dsyndrome]

He'll, I'd pay $20 for the games as PS1/2 classics. Them doing nothing on the old games for Sony is sad.

[StormKing]

If the other ios ports do well, then I can see SE bringing the DQ ports over. Then again it's SE so don't count on it.

 

[B.K.]

Why? What's wrong with them?

 

[darkziosj]

SE is crazy, hell they can bring them to the ps4 tomorrow.

Portrait mode works well for DQIV since the DS' dual screens translate well to a phone's screen orientation. It would be hilarious if they port the games and have them retain portrait mode on the Vita lol

Why? What's wrong with them?

DQVIII is apparently locked to a crappy framerate, has a forced portrait mode in a game that really wasn't designed for it, and is totally lacking all the extras that the original ps2 game gained in localization.

I have DQIV and it's actually quite well done. It's still locked to portrait mode but it doesn't really suffer for it. The interface is very easy to use and the font works really well. It even has the party chat that they were too lazy to translate in the DS version.

 

[hongcha]

I think the portrait mode kills the chances of Vita ports.

 

[Megatron]

Portrait mode works well for DQIV since the DS' dual screens translate well to a phone's screen orientation. It would be hilarious if they port the games and have them retain portrait mode on the Vita lol

Which leads to the obvious question: How much work would it be to swap them to landscape mode? I doubt SE is going to put much effort at all into these.

It's probably too much work for them.

"Square Enix would like to bring DQ ports to the Vita but it will need to make financial sense"
