Why did they wait until after the Tales festival to announce this?

Yeah, they definitely should've had this big announcement of a western-focused port to platforms nobody owns of a game everyone there has already played. Huge missed opportunity.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Will be interesting to see if the PC version finally pushes the Tales series to be huge outside Japan.

 

[Kazer]

In October too, fuck. That month is gunna be so packed.

 

[Vanguard]

About time this was official, day 1 for ps4.

 

[Jigorath]

October is becoming a nice month for Japanese games with Disgaea 5, Tales of Zestiria, and Dragon Quest Heroes. It might take me a little while to decide which one I want to buy at launch.

 

[ZeroX03]

Will be nice not to have to bust out the PS3 and just play on PS4. PC port will probably be decent too.

 

[Maintenance]

Wow, PC. I'm in.

 

[Nightengale]

That's surprising. I'd imagine once the western versions are done it'd be trivial to release it in Japanese. It's not like there's extra content.

I think it's probably because there's no extra content that they're not releasing it in Japan.

Prior Tales re-releases always had extra content.

 

[Drewfonse]

NA too?

 

[Ralemont]

Didn't this have framerate issues on PS3? PS4 port will help...hopefully?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Will probably get the PC version day 1 if reviews aren't too bad.

 

[Sage00]

Will be interesting to see if the PC version finally pushes the Tales series to be huge outside Japan.

A port of Tales of Zestiria on PC is not going to make anything huge lol.

 

[Peff]

That's surprising. I'd imagine once the western versions are done it'd be trivial to release it in Japanese. It's not like there's extra content.

There is very little to gain from the PS4 install base in Japan and much more to lose what with the original game being a bit poisonous to the waifu demographic.

 

[Guymelef]

Btw, has Namco said if western versión includes the dlc chapter?

 

[bobbychalkers]

I haven't touched Tales since Abyss on 3DS (even then, I never got too far) but PC has me interested.

 

[Khal_B]

Okay, will get it for PC.

 

[Voror]

Wonder when they'll announce a CE for the game. PS4 for me.

 

[crinale]

I think if it was received well in Japan they were going to PS4 version over there too..

 

[Leafhopper]

60fps confirmed?

Don't get your hopes up.

Maybe but, yeah.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

PS4 collectors for me. God, that track on the trailer is so good. I wish Go Shiina would do all the Tales music.

 

[GoodMorningPluto]

Finally an official announcement. I wonder how it will fare on PC. Valkyria Chronicles pulled some good numbers, but that was more tactical game which resonates greater with PC crowd.

 

[fertygo]

I hope everyone set their expectation the "port" will be very barebone, personally I don't mind as long its not straight up unplayable.

 

[chris3116]

I would buy it on PC.

 

[Bladenic]

PS3 for me lolz unless I get a PS4 by then

 

[GoldCrusader]

I NEED MY TALES OF NOW! day one CE for me!

EDIT: Aso they are wayyyyy to many JRPG releasing in fall....

 

[Pooya]

Trailer has a PS3 Footage notice like the others are going to look notably different? nice...

 

[UltimaWeapon]

I can finally Remote Play a Tales game! Woot

 

[Ralemont]

PS4 collectors for me. God, that track on the trailer is so good. I wish Go Shiina would do all the Tales music.

Tales of Legendia is by far the best Tales soundtrack. I'm with you here.

 

[e_i]

U.S. release date?

 

[Peff]

PS4 collectors for me. God, that track on the trailer is so good. I wish Go Shiina would do all the Tales music.

The Go Shiina tracks are SO GOOD. But the best part is that Sakuraba is generally up to par too. Easily one of the best soundtracks in the series.

 

[Valnen]

I hope everyone set their expectation the "port" will be very barebone, personally I don't mind as long its not straight up unplayable.

I think "barebones" ports deserve criticism, regardless of expectations. A developer should you know, use the capabilities of the platforms.

 

[Lucreto]

PS4 it is. It was going to be my last PS3 game but not anymore.

Glad the series is expanding onto PC. Any additional revenue can only make future games more amazing.

 

[LuuKyK]

PS4 collectors for me. God, that track on the trailer is so good. I wish Go Shiina would do all the Tales music.

Yeah the music in the trailer is fantastic.

 

[The Last One]

Day one on PS4

 

[Kain]

Don't get your hopes up.

Maybe but, yeah.

Yeah, it's nuts we even doubt they can reach 60 fps in PC/PS4. Speaks volumes of the technical prowess of Tales studio...

 

[Nightengale]

Trails in the Sky SC, Trails of Cold Steel, MGSV and this...

Shit. 200+ hours of my life.

 

[LiK]

PS4 baby

 

[Dark_castle]

The more games that comes to Steam, the better. Day 1.

 

[vanx0]

yes! PS4 it is.

 

[DannyDanger]

PS4 it is. It was going to be my last PS3 game but not anymore.

Glad the series is expanding onto PC. Any additional revenue can only make future games more amazing.

You still have to buy Yakuza 5, and Trails of Cold Steel (I'm not giving you a choice)

 

[Shahed]

Nice to finally have confirmation. I have no idea why there was such a silly song and dance about it. They should have just announced the PS4 and PC versions ages ago

 

[Xord]

What a surprise

 

[Leafhopper]

Yeah, it's nuts we even doubt they can reach 60 fps in PC/PS4. Speaks volumes of the technical prowess of Tales studio...

No, I am not saying that. I am just saying that games like Tales or like Naruto or anything that seems to have an artstyle like that ends up being 30 FPS. Naruto games have an engine that's locked at 30 FPS and people can't really unlock it on PC without breaking it.

Reason I said don't get your hopes up.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

The Go Shiina tracks are SO GOOD. But the best part is that Sakuraba is generally up to par too. Easily one of the best soundtracks in the series.

Nothing against Sakuraba, but a lot of tracks sound too similar from one game to another. At the very least, throwing Shiina on a few games mixes things up a lot.

 

[Kagari]

I'll get whatever CE they end up doing.

 

[duckroll]

I wonder who's developing the PS4 and PC versions. If Tales Studio is doing it, I don't see why there wouldn't be a Japanese release. The fact that they've been so quiet about it, and the announcement trailer only showing PS3 footage... is a bit odd.

 

[Pandora012]

Ps4 it is.

 

[SliceSabre]

Nice to finally have confirmation. I have no idea why there was such a silly song and dance about it. They should have just announced the PS4 and PC versions ages ago

For what purpose?

 

[Balmung421]

In for the PC version; xillia 1 and 2 were great and I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

 

[Swass]

Day 1, PS4.. love me some Tales!
