Quite frankly, it's the first PS4 game that's gotten me excited about owning the console.

Can't wait.

I remember the first time I saw a Dragon Quest related picture, I was like "Wow, those guys looks like they're from Dragon Ball..." guess what, Akira Toriyama...

Also the Chrono Trigger character design was also made by Akira Toriyama, It became clear to me when I've notice that the last boss in the game looked like a Cell/Piccolo hybrid, and then his name on the credits !

XtraTrstrL3516d ago

What about Piccolo now? I really hope the action/rpg combat is done well. I'm really into the whole DQ world and always wanted a properly done action/rpg one. This could be epic.

S2Killinit3516d ago

Mr ValKilmer
As much as I'm surprised by your statement, I can respect your opinion.

I hope this helps the chance of Dragon Quest 7 3DS or ANYTHING Dragon Quest for ANY system head over to the U.S.

Just bought an XB1 and loving it, but I'm definitely getting a PS4 like 2-3 years from now specifically for it's exclusives, which by then there should be a ton.

-Foxtrot3516d ago (Edited 3516d ago )

Wonder if they'll ever do a proper Dragon Quest game for the PS4 if this one sells well.

Last one for a Sony console I remember was Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

They could make a seperate DQ franchise for the PS4 if they wanted since doing a Wii U/PS4 Dragon Quest game would obviously hold back the PS4 version

Something like

Dragon Quest <new name> which sequel would then be Dragon Quest <new name> II and so on

pkb793516d ago

I'd settle for a HD remake of DQ VIII at this point.

Jyndal3516d ago

Was that the one with the king who had been turned into a goblin-looking thing?

Jyndal3516d ago

I've played so damn many JRPG's that they tend to blend together in my head. Is Suikoden still a thing?

Magicite3516d ago

wake up, its long gone, same as breath of fire, wild arms and many others.

NxeonPwn3516d ago (Edited 3516d ago )

Don't worry its an Action RPG and remember what they said? Dragon Quest is Coming back To PlayStation with a bang ;) so the traditional RPG will come after this title.

So Dynasty Warriors meet Dragon Quest is a bright future for the PS4?

Maybe if they would have shown this before Hyrule Warriors maybe there would have been some excitement but Dragon Quest spin offs games have been done before and are no where near as popular as the actual RPG franchise.

vickers5003516d ago

While I do agree with you, it's better than nothing. Those who are even slightly interested in this game should buy it so that Square Enix sees that it's not a waste of resources to bring Dragon Quest titles to ps4 and the west. Actually don't know if it's coming to the west for sure, hope it does.

jonboi243516d ago

I hope this leads to a proper Dragon Quest sequel on PS4. While I do have my reservation on a Dragon Quest/Musuo hybrid, the fact that they said this isn't a Musuo game has my a little optimistic.

CocoWolfie3516d ago

i never played dragon quest before but it looked really fun!

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69554d ago

It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…

LucasRuinedChildhood554d ago (Edited 554d ago )

Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.

I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(

They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.

FinalFantasyFanatic553d ago

I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.

Ben Dover554d ago

While the VC remake is a turd, this is an impressive month.

SlothLordPootus554d ago

Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.

jeromeface554d ago

fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no

cluclap554d ago

It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.

andy85554d ago

Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit

VersusDMC554d ago

If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.

Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.

EvertonFC554d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus554d ago

Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar

dazzysima554d ago

Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP554d ago

Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!

I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things

VersusDMC554d ago

I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.

MrNinosan554d ago

Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.

Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?

If this is true I'd be curious to see if it comes all on the cart like the Japanese version. Probably not though with the added languages.

PhoenixUp1597d ago

It’d be nearly 3 years since Japanese gamers had this ported to the console for it to get localized

Speaking of ports, Square Enix still needs to port DQXI S content over to PS4 and PC

GameStop Lists Wolfenstein: Youngblood And Dragon Quest Heroes 1 & 2 For Switch

Nintendo Life writes: "Last June, there was a rumour Wolfenstein: Youngblood would be making its way across to the Nintendo Switch. The idea of this happening came about when a GameStop employee revealed the game was listed for Switch and this followed with it appearing on the company's website."

Yes! Youngblood was one of the best announcements at last E3!

IamTylerDurden11879d ago

It's good to have the game, but a shame that it'll be the gimped version.

Neonridr1879d ago

meh, Wolfenstein 2 looks great even in handheld mode. Honestly, it's hard to sit there and nitpick when you are playing the game on something the size of a note 5.

mandingo1878d ago

looked like crap. dont kid yourself

Literal_Cringe1880d ago

Been waiting for DQ Heroes 1 and 2 for nearly 2 years now nice to see it finally come (if this is true).

ZeekQuattro1879d ago

In Japan DQ Heroes 1 & 2 was on a 32 gig cartridge. Everywhere else will probably get one physical and the other be a promo code. Figured Youngblood would get ported. It would be odd if it weren't considering they were pleased with how 2 performed on the Switch.

Gemmol1878d ago

Either that or the rumors of 32 gig card last year are coming
