Bandai Namco on Tales of Zestiria PS4 rumors: Wait until Tales of Festival

But Sony didn't acknowledge the existence of the game after the leak, either. Bamco is saying sit tight while Best Buy already took some pre-orders. That's patently ridiculous.

Nice wanted to play it but i gave away my PS3 so now i can .
Also the marketing team mess up with Alisha and it end up looking like a bait and switch .
BN should know better even more so since they market so much anime .

okay that makes sense. thanks folks.
i haven't yet heard developers from Japan complaining of any notable difficulties with PS4 like we were hearing last gen in regards to PS3. it's obviously going to be a bump up in dev costs, but if it's easier to work with then i will keep my hopes slightly up for more PS4 versions coming our way.

Sure, but it's important to note that it's not NAMCO Japan that's acknowledging the rumor. They're the one that run this show and everyone else is along for the ride.
That would certainly be preferable, but I'm having a hard time picturing it tbh.
That just goes back to my original comment on the topic. It's crazy how they still can remain so oblivious, even after the peace branch they offered by announcing Zestiria for the west right away.

None of it will matter once the PS4 version gets announced.

I think this comes down to this Festival basically being an apology to fans for what happened with Zestiria. Whatever the PS4 version is will likely be part of that apology. That's why it's being announced in Japan rather than the west.
It will never cease to amaze me that waifu wars found a way to seep into real life business practices.

The new trilogy is going to be for PS4.
If Stella is not there like she was shown in Versus (the role she played not her look specifically)....oh boy

Although I can dig the battle system which follows Graces f's footstep, I'm not sure if I would dig everything else about the game. The Xillias really burnt me out of the series, and seeing Zestiria PS3's screen and its overworld turns me off. Certain import impression along with the whole Alicia debacle doesn't help either.

It'll probably happen. SAO did well in the west

it's not really about technical possibility...it's about if BN is going to bother doing it.
God Eater on PS4 is a port of a Vita game and it's still 30fps with same graphics (other than the resolution bump)
Bandai Namco is known for being lazy when it comes to ports.
Wouldnt be suprised if the SOA games also being ported to Steam at some point.
When a big company like Best Buy has the game up for preorder, does it still count as a rumor? 
Hell, even though you can't preorder it anymore, they haven't cancel the preorders for those who were able to. I think we've moved to the point of leak now.
Anyway, hopefully the PC version is day and day of the PS4/3 versions. If they can't manage to get the PS4 version to be 60fps (which would be pathetic, but in line with Bamco's latest PS4 ports), then at least the PC version can make up for that like it did in Xenoverse.

Yeah I expect a PS4 SKU when it gets localised like J stars. Is there any reason to keep a PS3 now?
PS2 Classics? Yakuza? Also, unless they announce Vesperia on PS4, I'll be playing the English patched version on PS3.

Honestly this is the perfect opporunity to make some easy money.
1. Eternal Sonata
2. Tales of Vesperia
3. Tales of Xillia 1/2
4. Tales of Graces F
5. Tales of Symphonia
6. Tales of Zestiria
1080p 60 FPS 2XMSAA + FXAA
Namco Bandai could theoretically release two tales games a year. Zestiria and Xillia this year, Graces and Symphonia next year, etc. etc. Easy money, hungry fan base, and the ability to cash out while the base is still dying for JRPGs.
They lost a lot of good will last generation, so I hope they figure their mess out and take their fans seriously this time.

Bring me some 4k Tales of Zestiria
I forgot a PS2 port existed for this. I remember hearing good things about it.

That's a nice indirect confirmation that the current-gen version is in the making right there.
It's a good thing. The game would've been dead on arrival if it remained PS3 exclusive, but the PS4 is the new hotness and hurting for JRPGs, so its got a fighting chance now.

I wish playing and ass kicking as Haruka actually a thing
I mean, in Yakuza 3 when you bring her around, she always cheers for you when street brawling happened right? she must have learn a thing or two from Kiryuu ojii-san

The latest Sword Art Online looks pretty good.
Crossing my fingers for a PS4 version of that
If they did J-Stars i feel like anything is possible
Edit: And ofcourse Yakuza 5

Considering how soon this is being announced after the original's release, I'm just going to assume that it'll essentially be a straight port unless Tales Festival proves otherwise.

Going to be amusing to see what they throw into the PS4 port to try and get people who bought the PS3 version to buy it again in Japan, if they'll even bother.
I imagine it'll be pretty hard for them to not burn fans, wouldn't want PS3 Zestiria discs being broken in half at Tales of Festival.

So... I'm going to put this game on my PS4 waiting list now.
Depends if they release it this year in Japan or not. Not even the PS3 ports of Vesperia and Graces happened in the same year as the original release.

Hopefully 1080p, 60FPS on the, pretty much confirmed, PS4 version.
Seems like all the previous gen Tales of games would benefit from a conversion to PS4 given the fact that battles would feel way smoother.

I would definitely double dip if the where all ported.

I don't know about other Tales games but ToV on the 360 had 60 FPS battles and 30 FPS everything else, so 60 FPS isn't unheard of.
lol
Tales of festival is mostly girls, and the one who are MAD is the male part of the fanbase anyway.

Xillia has 60 FPS battles as well, but there was a good bit of drops scattered about. Not sure about Xillia 2.
