Exciting stuff also like the cover.
A quick question about the series. I've only played Disgeae 4 do the games have any continuity between them or recurring characters?
Kinda wish they would just put this on both Vita and PS4 at the same time as well as announce a D2 Vita version.
Their main problem with the home console versions is the crazy amount of DLC that's just included in the vita version. Hope it doesn't happen to 5.

...I know that there are many consumers who would like this. However, we are developing the game with PlayStation 4 specs, so to be honest, it's impossible to port the game to the PlayStation Vita. Porting the game without erasing a lot of features and cutting down the amount of assets would be very difficult, and of course, we do not wish to do that. I think there are people waiting for a "Return" version with all of the contents [and DLC] included, but I'm sorry, that will not happen this time. (laughs) If we were to port the game to a portable system, fans would probably have to wait for the next portable system after the Vita, but I haven't heard anything about this [system], so that would be far in the future. Disgaea 5 will have Remote Play. Do not wait for a PS Vita port, and please, play the PlayStation 4 version.

I also try really hard not to pre-order things anymore but there are a few select series that have earned my total trust and have never once let me down by feeling at all ripped off from a game. Disgaea is one of them. NIS could also use the money and they rank very low on the "corporate gaming overlords" scale.Sorry but I am pre-ordering. I know some hate that but this is just one of those series I have to have.
I know there will be. I just wish they would just include it.There is a good chance that there will be no vita version for 5. It is inevitable that there will be a crazy amount of DLC.
Its already been "stated" that the game is unable to be put on the Vita. Now if that is true or not only time will tell...
If NIS is to be believed, they cannot get D5 to run on Vita.
I'm inclined to believe them, since D4 had framerate issues on Vita, even with a fraction of the characters you can put on screen in D5.
I know there will be. I just wish they would just include it.
I find this a bit hard to really believe mainly due to 2D sprites and simplified 3D elements when there's far more demanding games on the vita out there.
Maybe the 30% memory boost will help if that was the problem?
Not sure how I feel about this box art. I hate that orange blue combo.
30% boost is not going to help. It might help to smooth some things out like the issues with D4 on the PSV a bit but for doing something where technically they are stating it is not possible to get the same game out, that 30% really does not mean anything.
Just because it is 2D sprites and 3D elements does not mean that it is not taxing on the system.

Last time I played Disgaea 4 on my PS3, it really seemed like the previous ones with better textures and much better sprites. HELL They got the first 2 to run on PSP right? just what happened?
Such a long wait
Not only are the sprites much higher res, but there is a lot more mechanics going on under the hood.
The graphical bump isn't the issue, but rather the number crunching and calculations happening behind the scenes is what is causing the Vita version of D3 to come to a halt in some instances.
Putting things to perspective, Disgaea 4 on Vita has some slowdown here and there.
PS3 maxed out at 30 characters on screen and even under certain situations there was slowdown depending on what spells / skills went off when there were a lot of units on screen.
Disgaea 5 however can have 100 on-screen units simultaneously.
If the Vita (and PS3 if a lot of effects go off at once) had framerate issues with a limit of 30 units total, it's unrealistic to think the game will have the same performance with 100 units on screen.
Those expecting a Disgaea 5 re-release on Vita may be holding out. If the Vita starts to choke on the port of a PS3 game...there's no way it could handle the PS4 Disgaea 5 without major cuts to the gameplay or a tone down in some other way be it using lower res sprites.
Visually the game wouldn't push the PS3 or Vita by any stretch. It's mainly performance related things under the games hood that is holding the game back from being doable on the PS3 or Vita.
I like the Japanese cover more, but still don't mind the NA one. Can't wait to spend $75 on the regular edition of the game...
$75?
I'm guessing you mean the $60 and whatever the Season Pass costs?
I believe the Season Pass is 4000 yen, which to USD roughly $33.
I hope NISA doesn't plan to try and jack the price up in the US and try to push this season pass for $50 instead of the $30 or so it SHOULD be.
I still remember that $50 DLC pack that Disgaea 3 had on PS3...which was required to obtain everything. As some of the content was only available in the $50 pack and not for individual sale.
