Dragon Quest Heroes (Square Enix/Omega Force, action rpg) announced for PS3/PS4, 2015

Where is The Hero?

And the other guys with him. Hold on a second.

Edit:

There we are: Yangus, Alistair and Jessica. Where are these people? I don't think this is very acceptable.
 
Dragon Quest on PS4!!! :D :D :D

*watches trailer*

Hyrule Warriors I can overlook because a real Zelda is coming, but real DQ is dead and staying that way it looks like. I hate musou games.
 
Game producer says it isn't a musou game:
Proceed to hype!

Then what the hell is that trailer? They also said Hyrule Warriors isn't just a reskinned Dynasty Warriors, but every bit of media released shows it to be exactly that.

EDIT:
I guess if they can make it more like Baldestorm or Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll then maybe it will be ok, I kind of liked those games. I just can't stand DW and its clones.
 
I get why it's on the PS3 as well, but should have been exclusive. Well I guess I can say the same thing about Destiny, maybe it will surprise me and be the lead platform for sales.
 
I played Dynasty Warriors 8 on the PS4, my first after many years. I enjoyed it very much.

This seems lacking in comparison. No Zhao Yun for one. No Lu Bu either. It's like they're not even trying anymore.
Xiahou Dun will be in and my one-eyed motherfucker will rip and slice all these weakass golems and chimeras.

would be hilarious if Mosou starts taking over the industry like fps genre did.
Lego Musou: The Movie: The Game Remastered will be a third person open world game with a shitload of collectibles, useless skill trees, a janky cover system, costume DLCs and microtransactions to buy ingame currency. Then the industry will collapse on itself.
 
Not the Dragon Quest anyone was expecting, I bet. :D

Looks interesting though. I'm kind of looking forward to this now. I wonder how it differs from the Musou genre?

Rather Musou than FPS tbh, but it's not gonna happen.
 
Im wating for more details before i let myself get hyped for this.. I wonder how much theyll change things up? Hoping for more RPG elements (skills, gear etc) to keeop things interesting as opposed to just a straight up zelda type reskin.

I bought DW8XL on PS4 and just couldnt eke any fun out of it, after many years i think i may finally be sick of Musou games. :-s
 
Awww shieet.

Also, thank you Verendus :)
You were totally right last year about P5 on PS4 and DQ returning too Sony consoles in a bit of a different way.

He got lucky with those predictions! ;)

Still waiting to see that Sony made PS4 JRPG Verendus. (*Shakes Fist*)
 
I only have it in me to play I've Musou game every three years before being completely burnt out.

Hyrule Warriors with its co-op and unimaginable fan service are pushing me over the fence for this opportunity. Toriyama is still a good at character designs with personality, but sorry Dragon Quest, I have failed you
not like it'll get localized anyway

Anyone get really excited to see the big guy until you realized you'll just bee having away at his toes, occasionally clipping into his model?
 
Out of curiosity, does anyone know how Japan is reacting to this?

There were a few riots break out in Tokyo. People were asked to stay in doors and Nintendo's VP ordered that all employees turn in their copies of DQVIII on iOS for fear of further difficulties. I'm kidding, I personally don't think they care at this point. 9 times out of 10 this wont sell like their traditional series do.

I wonder why the hell they love the Musou series so much. DW hasn't really hit it big in a long time. I realize it's a profitable genre, but to release DQ in Musou form only confuses me. The last few Musou games on PS3 weren't even that good IMO.

They had a DQ MMO, DQX, and this could possibly go unnoticed. Unless it turns out really good. I like the look of it, but I already know how DW games get after an hour or so.
 
I'd enjoy this more on a handheld :( I'm buying it anyway, I guess. I just need to get my PS3 repaired. The upside is that it's being released on region free systems!
 
Nice, I like (almost) all Dragon Quest spin-offs. Looking forward to this one.

I wonder what the lead platform is? The game looks too good to be lead on PS3 and then ported to PS4.
TBH it looks like an early PS3 game to me. But that's not taking away the fun for me.

Omega Force usually doesn't do much to push a game's hardware to its limits. The optimal thing would be that the PS4 version would at least have either 60fps and/or better draw distance.
 
Omega Force? What? Are they just trying to sell to anyone who wants a game created with the engine using a big IP?
