So happy.


All the shit I got for saying PS4/3 and 3DS was the most logical choice has not been in vain.
 
3DS was entirely expected, they're not giving up that vast userbase. Happy about this, will get to play it on the move.

Cue salt that the 3DS version will limit the PS4 scope.

Getting both versions!

At least it makes sense. There's no way they could make a PS4 exclusive game in Japan and expect them to get their returns.

Well I (and a lot of people) guessed right. It was the decision that made more sense for a worldwide push of the game.

And people complain about XB1 draggin the PS4 down.....

Any precedent for this? Seems like they'd almost have to do two fairly different builds.
 
Did he just say Unreal Engine 4?

EDIT: Well I guess no one should have to worry about the PS4 version being held back graphically. Might be better this way than if it was PS4/PS3.

3DS lead platform and PS4 version will look all pixely like Builders.

Con. Firmed.

2 different versions, like Ni no Kuni is the most likely scenario, which was DS and PS3.

Both Toy Logic and Orca are involved it seems.

Smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U should be pretty comparable.
