Although I'm excited that DQX is in development, I'll be super sad if it's technically inferior in any way to DQ8. Hopefully they'll just re-purpose that engine at least?

Seriously, if both 9 and 10 end up regressing graphically....that's just so sad.

Why would it be technically inferior? The GameCube was more powerful than the PS2. Thus, the Wii is easily more powerful than the PS2 then.

 

[Kobun Heat]

GRUDGE-FUCKING
When winning just isn't enough.

 

[Tenbatsu]

anyway we can get translations of that MH3 comment?

Its just that it will be a Wii exclusive for now thats all. $$$ are involved somehow I think.

Try harder with your trolling please.

 

[Teknoman]

This is SE. This is DQ. SE will obviously push the Wii graphically and put some effort, unlike other developers. I'll be really surprised if it doesn't look much better than DQ8.

Besides, look how good MH3 looks. A good budget = a good looking game.

Oh it will. Dunno where some people come out of left field with the idea that the Wii is somehow weaker than the PS2.

 

[Witchfinder General]

Is it too much to hope for a built-from-the-ground-up engine just for the Wii, or will we likely see just the DQVIII engine slightly optimised?

Level 5 are tech wizards so I can imagine they could make this the Wiis best looking game next to Galaxy (or better) if they wanted.

 

[Jirotrom]

what the hell? DQ is not popular in the west, is it really that crazy that they are developing it for the system that has the most units in Japan (and the world too).. quit crying. To the Sony fans whining about this, did you even play DQ or are you just keeping track of exclusives?

Also, to the people laughing at the aforementioned Sony fans... same question goes to you.

Anyway, I hope it comes out pretty soon!

i have no idea why sony fans are winning i thought its been obvious where the next DQ would go, to top it off havent the majority of them been on Nintendo systems anyway.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

What? The Cube was a good deal stronger than the PS2...and the Wii is a bit stronger than the Cube, so where are you getting that thought pattern from?

He's pulling it from his ass.

 

[Zoe]

They're reviving the series in a way only the Wii can achieve.

 

[DCharlie]

um

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[MvmntInGrn]

Dragon Quest should be simple enough in the graphics department, re-use the 8 engine + AA and it'll at least look decent in HD...

I disliked 8 and the art style but the colors and environments were quite nice.

 

[Y2Kev]

I think the impact is going to be from the actual announcement, as you said. I doubt X hits for a long time, but I think this announcement might lead to more 3rd parties fully coming on board. DS sure seemed to really explode 3rd party wise after the DQ 9 announcement..

The timing is definitely a factor. The Wii needs the boost in terms of support for sure, though I suppose any developer waiting for an announcement like this one was probably waiting for someone to confirm something everyone knew was probably going to be the case. UNLESS they put DQ on the DS again. But I feel like there is this sentiment that DQ9 on a handheld was a deviation from the norm or something and it would be "corrected."

 

[LegendOfGood]

Did they actually show a video of DQX (as somebody said earlier)?

 

[LiquidSwords]

What? The Cube was a good deal stronger than the PS2...and the Wii is a bit stronger than the Cube, so where are you getting that thought pattern from?

I think it's a valid concern. Have any of S-E's Wii projects to date matched the visual quality of the best PS2 stuff (FFX, XII, VP)? Not to say that it's the fault of the hardware, but unless Level 5 is working on DQX who knows if it will look up to DQ8's level of polish.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

:lol I always thought you already had both.

Nope, but looks like I will soon enough. :lol

Not that I didn't expect to have gotten all three before the generation ended...

That would bring down the house.

Then set it on fire...

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Wow some people are already in the depression phase. Impressive.

 

[Teknoman]

Level 5 are tech wizards so I can imagine they could make this the Wiis best looking game next to Galaxy (or better) if they wanted.

A new Wii ground up engine or improved VIII engine with progressive scan would look excellent either way.

 

[Wii Will Rock U]

That would bring down the house.

NO, it would bring down Japan.

 

[zoku88]

I wonder how many ppl in this thread actually care about DQ :-/

 

[donny2112]

Dragon Quest games ALWAYS bomb in America. The series isn't popular here.

DQVIII sold over half a million, but the FFXII demo probably helped.

 

[Pojo]

Everything that comes out on the Wii that doesn't benefit from the controls shouldn't be released on the Wii because the technology is vastly inferior. It's quite simple.

But we haven't seen what gameplay changes they've made to X, so I'll wait and see. Though I don't want anything too radical.

Initial meltdown finished.

 

[Vox-Pop]

This is the biggest BS I have heard. How is putting Dragon Quest 10 on wii shamming Square Enix?

:lol :lol It's an old post from the FF13 for 360 thread.

 

[Ydahs]

um

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Looks beautiful in motion! Nothing looks good in screens for Wii.

 

[jiggle]

but unless Level 5 is working on DQX

They'd be stupid not to

 

[Wii Will Rock U]

Looks beautiful in motion! Nothing looks good in screens for Wii.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Kyoufu]

Looks like my Wii is going to get some SERIOUS playtime. MH3, DQX and Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

FUCK YEAH!

I hope DQX makes improvements on VIII. Faster battles please!

As a Sony fan, I am some what saddened that it isn't coming out of my console.

As a SquareEnix fan, I am very happy that DQ10 is already on the pre-production stage (hopefully further).

As a Gaffer, I am laughing my ass off at people complaining that it is going to the Wii.

There hasn't been any notable Wii SE titles to look at. I'm sure DQX will look spectacular.

I think it could also *potentially* just get more "core" gamers to start buying the system in anticipation (along with MH3)

Expect a FFXIV demo with DQX?

Oh my goodness, you did not just post that. :lol

And the body blows just keep coming for Sony although at least this one was a foregone conclusion.

14:51 Before the end of 10 minutes. なんだかいろいろと撮影するものがあったので写真撮影してました。 It's kind of different because of the shooting and were photographed. 今から順次アップ予定です。 Will be up sequentially from now. もうしばらくお待ちを。 It will be soon.

Well S-E hasnt made any high profile titles for the Wii, which are usually its better looking titles.

Dragon Quest X will look and sound great no matter what. Now its just a matter of waiting.

 

[LegendOfGood]

Expect a FFXIV demo with DQX?

Hot.

 

[VOOK]

So when can we expect some meltdowns? Or they just gonna cling to their DQ8 copies and their PS2's?

 

[Tenbatsu]

A new Metal Gear for the Wii will be so.....:lol

 

[Buckethead]

that wasn't the kermit.gif i was thinking of

lol at the very subtle fanboy baiting

 

[SabinFigaro]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Awesome news, and right before I was going to bed!

If they can make this look at least as good as DQVIII, I'll be more than happy. Even still, it's fucking Dragon Quest. This, my friends, is the Wii Megaton. DQIX may have been the grudgefucking, but this news is equivalent to raping the corpse of the "HD generation" after the fact.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

that shit would be chaos

It's been over for 10 minutes. They're in the process of uploading all the pics they took.

I don't usually read the sales threads unless a game I'm interested in is being tracked, but has that been in issue in Japan?

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

So, it looks like I was wrong about them not jumping the gun.

Anyhoo, it looks like DQIX will be my first DQ ever. Or should I play one of the DSmakes first?

 

[B.K.]

Expect a FFXIV demo with DQX?

The way they're going, even Final Fantasy XIII won't be out before Dragon Quest X.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

I object to the idea that my baiting is subtle.

 

[VOOK]

I would shed a tear ... tears of laughter to see that meltdown.

I'd say so- a decent amount of somewhat quality 3rd party software has tanked pretty hard on Wii. Nintendo games and higher profile 3rd party stuff (ToS, RE:UC, DQ:S) have done well, but the lower profile stuff hasn't fared very well.
