PS3 version doesn't look bad, but I'm sure its only 720p. But since I have a PS4, I might as well get that version..... if it releases in America that is.

I don't know about this game, is it going to have any story, or is it just a fan service game like hyrule warriors?

 

[Jinaar]

This game better come out here or else someone is going to get a hurtin'.

 

[Elfstruck]

That looks like the most fun Musou I've ever seen - maybe it's the giant enemy and colorful design. They all have local co-op, right?

It reminds me of Hyrule warriors.

 

[Shouta]

It's a single-player Action RPG. So no local co-op.

 

[Sushigod7]

Hope it gets localized if not I'll import looks like a lot of fun.

Just noticed something ....
Is it me or there is no BGM ?

I think the stuff at the end was a disclaimer on that. Had glanced at it but didnt like look in details.

Yeah maybe it's some kind of test demo or something .

I'm not too worried, Musou games always have great music and DQ series always have great music so, pretty sure this title won't be an exception .

 

[SturokBGD]

Ooh it's 1080/60 on PS4? Looks great. Will it have classic DQ tunes in crazy Musuo heavy metal style?

 

[Pankratous]

Really hope this takes off in Japan and boosts PS4 interest.

 

[NoirVisage]

getting Trinity Souls vibes from this so I have no doubt it will be up my ally, glad it isn't a musou, love them, but not everything needs to be that style.

Had it been on PS4 only, then it would have.

Just noticed monsters drop gold coins. lol Well done.

 

[jiggle]

Is the lighting different?
Ps3 version has a very dull look to it
Maybe just on my phone
I was expecting a bigger hit in enemy counts on ps3

 

[Alucrid]

will enjoy my first dragon quest game on the ps4

 

[Tohsaka]

Tempted to import, I'm going to hold out for a localization though since there are a bunch of other games coming out in March that I'm interested in.

 

[Biker19]

Omega Force is a VERY competent developer, and they are working on other PS4 games, like Toukiden Kiwami. They know the hardware.

If only other Japanese 3rd party publishers were to take advantage of PS4's hardware for their games.

They'll still all buy it on the PS3. lol

Not if they see that the PS4 version is graphically more superior than the PS3 version. Heck, the PS4 version of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- is much more superior than the PS3 version (& not just in graphics, but in everything else).

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Well I am glad to see they beefed up the visual fidelity for PS4.

Too many games don't do this from Japan.

Not if they look at the big difference between the PS3 & PS4 versions. Heck, the PS4 version of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- is much more superior than the PS3 version.

Why would they buy a new system for a game that's on a system they own? Just like here, tons of people in Japan don't care about framerates or even graphics. I want it to push sales, but I don't think it will.

I'll happily eat crow when the time comes. When DQ11 gets announced as a PS4 exclusive, then that will push sales.

People in Japan have pre-ordered the PS4 bundle of that game. Plus there are plenty of games that are coming out exclusively for PS4, like Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, Bloodborne, & Disgaea 5. Three games next month alone.

Plus PS3's old hat now.

We're talking about this game. I never said that people wouldn't buy it on PS4, just that it would see higher sales on the PS3 and not push PS4 sales significantly.

Like I said, PS3 is old news now. It's time to move on from the past.

If that were true, then why are Japanese fighting game fans playing GG Xrd on PS4, & not on PS3? Why do most fighting game tournaments use the Xbox 360 versions of Ultra Street Fighter IV & Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, & not the PS3 versions?

Not sure about that. That ship has sailed. The home console ship in Japan, that is.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Honestly, the PS3 version looks good. The PS4 version doesn't look like a massive upgrade.

Suddenly I feel the need to own that PS4 Metal Slime edition. Where can I get one again?

Got mine from Nippon-Yasan.

 

[Slamtastic]

Man, that 60fps is nice.

I'd say I wish Hyrule Warriors ran better, but I can also see the "not a musou" factor in the DQ footage. Much smaller areas and less things going on at a time, even if the player control, attacks, and the Dragon's attacks are familiar.

GGXrd sold twice more on PS3 than on PS4.
That's why its not time to move on in Japan.

Then again its not surprising considering how niche the fighting game community in general is here and most would already have a community / footholding in the PS3 market. Not a lot of people would buy a system just for a fighting game alone.

I thought you lived in Japan too? Out north was it?

Im most def interested to see what kind of spread there will be. Though must admit with how nice looking the PS3 version is would not be surprised if the PS3 version turns out on top. Though if it evens out that would most def be a good thing.

On a related note wonder how God Eater 2 Rage Burst PSV vs. PS4 did.

Had it been on PS4 only, then it would have.

Yeah its pretty awesome plus you do not have to worry about picking them up as its just a graphical effect telling you that you got $$$ from defeating something.

I wonder though, did a PS3/PS4 game sold better on PS4 yet ?

In Japan I mean.

 

[Parakeetman]

I wonder though, did a PS3/PS4 game sold better on PS4 yet ?

From my memory not yet, but since its still early here it is expected. Such as with the launch titles like Ishin and Dynasty Warriors 8 more folks had PS3s still and the PS4 library was not built up at all.

Its slowly getting there, so want to see if the newer numbers with more recent titles are showing a shift towards the market share movement.

While its a Western developed title, initially GTA V the PS4 version had a slight lead over the PS3 one, though am unsure what the numbers are like now. This was going off the early media create sales numbers.

Media Create Sales: Week 1, 2015 (Dec 29 - Jan 04)

• 10./16. [PS4] Grand Theft Auto V # <ACT> (Take-Two Interactive Japan) {2014.12.11} (¥7.992) - 17.451 / 135.665 (+6%)
• 31./42. [PS3] Grand Theft Auto V [Bargain Edition] <ACT> (Rockstar Games) {2014.06.26} (¥5.389)

Yup, Far Cry 4 did.

For western related titles one thing that seems to be pushing their next gen sales over previous is the playthrough vids on niconico / youtube by JP gamers. Since it gives people a pretty good idea of what the graphics look like and such, which then drives folks to wander out and pick it up.

Its whats driving some companies insane too is people who can now easily stream games before release. Its kinda funny hearing about companies trying to take down such streamers with warning emails etc. Know someone like that who has a target painted on their back due to reviews they do of titles before they are out lol. So do not think they do that anymore.

I don't understand why this game still hasn't been announced with english text at least...

What a joke at this point.

Not as big of a joke when people just assume something should be announced for the West when it is not even out in Japan yet.

I don't understand why, if you want to release it on the west just say it, the Japanese release has nothing to do with the annoucement itself

Wait, they made that? Wasn't aware they were getting involved with the Monster Hunting business.

 

[Parakeetman]

Yep it was done by them and a pretty good job. Before Toukiden they dabbled in the genre a bit with the Dynasty Warriors series + the genre. Dynasty Warriors Strike Force? I think it was on the PSP / PS3 / X360

Here we go found some footage for you.

For Dragon Quest heroes, this most likely would be the closest previous title TRINITY: Souls of Zill O'll to the game design of DQ:Heroes.

Are you implying that the fighting game community is more niche than the musou-like community?

 

[Parakeetman]

Are you implying that the fighting game community is more niche than the musou-like community?

Yes. If you compare sales numbers in Japan it sure as hell is. Fighting games do not sell well to the average gamer, while the Musou series does. Granted the musou series has dropped a bit from the kind of numbers it used to do, but overall it still sells better than most fighting games. Especially when it comes to the higher lv fighting games such as the Arc System Works ones, which is even harder for the average player to get into due to the technical aspect of their mainstream titles.

Just found this kinda interesting someone took the time to look up all the data of the various series, this might be the same guy who posts here at GAF as Ive seen that exact name around the boards with the similar / same avatar.

*though low numbers due to the platform its on. Zelda in general nowdays is nowhere nearly as popular domestically than it is overseas in the West for whatever reason.

The only thing that really seems to go up super high with fighting games is the Street Fighter series.

Really is a hidden gem, do hope you enjoy your time with the title. The few folks here at GAF who have played it always seem to have positive things to say about it.

 

[crinale]

I've noticed not only resolution and framerate, quite a few environmental assets are different between PS4 and PS3 versions. Though they seem to be doing best they could do to minimize the impact on gaming.

 

[Earthpainting]

Both versions look pretty nice. The amount of control you have in the air looks incredibly floaty though. Looks like you can change your trajectory mid-jump and the jump looks almost instantaneous without a push-off off the ground. I hope they can iron that out, because right now it looks like Kingdom Hearts or Xenoblade levels of silly.

Thats exactly what they were going for. This isnt supposed to be some sort of realistic physics simulator.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

PS4 version is superior no question about that, and if they decided to bring a version to the West I'll go with the PS4

 

[Domstercool]

I'm really loving how Omega Force are slipping everything into the Warriors formula. Keep it up! There are a lot of franchises I would love to see have their fan service in a game like this.
