Clearly she's underage *Sigh*

Xof4325d ago

"She" is an illustrated representation of an artificial being that only exists digitally, and therefore has no age.

And there's nothing to indicate Miku's age in her appearance, so clearly you're spewing something out of your ass for some reason I simply cannot fathom. What, did you want to have sex with that illustrated representation of an artificial being that only exists digitally, and now your penis is flaccid because of some perceived ethical barrier?

Yuck.

What does the nonexistent age of a female-modeled PROGRAM have to do with ANYTHING?

tiffac0084325d ago

But your avatar seems to be underage too and this is a musical game. lol!

SeraphimBlade4325d ago

It's a music game, actually. Based on vocaloids, which I do not have room to explain here. There's a demo for the first Diva F on PS3, and the full game is due out in the states next month. And no, it doesn't use a peripheral or anything like rock band or ddr.

Xof4325d ago

Vocaloids are essentially voice templates, designed to mimic the sound of human voice.

The Project Diva games are rhythym games based on the Vocaloid voice synthesis software, which allows for the purely digital composition of song music (in Japanese--this works because unlike, say, English, Japanese is a phonetic language).

The games feature music composed by, well, anyone--random gamers, professional musicians and bands, etc. Because they use the Vocaloid synthesis software, the Diva games can do more with the music than any other rhythm games--if you miss a button press, for example, the Diva simply will not sing that note--and if your timing is off, the note will be off key. This means that, unlike every other music-based rhythm game on the market, the sound you hear will always reflect how well you are playing the game.

Couple that with the fact that, because so many different sources contribute music, the songs are very varied from one another, you have a game series that is -undisputed- as the absolute best.

With the first game finally being localized i hope the success of it will make it a better chance that this new game will make it over as well.

Hopefully this time the Vita version will be localized as well. Super fun game with addictive gameplay...although extreme can be frustratingly stressful.

tarbis4325d ago

Indeed! I can't even finish one extreme song! I can barely make excellent on hard. T_T
I really suck at rhythm games, but that doesn't mean I must hate it. In fact, I love rhythm games. XD

The Dreamcast was the biggest gamble and way ahead of its time.

I wish we lived in the Alternate Timeline where Sega was still a dominant force in the console space and it hadn't been Microsoft.

Saturn was a fantastic piece of kit... they just went a little too ambitious with its dual CPU setup. which turned a lot of developers off (at the time). The homebrew community have done some amazing work many years later, thanks to multichip experience. It is still the best platform for arcade fighters and shmups of all time. Dreamcast is a close 2nd though.

Profchaos1h ago

Yeah it was a interesting decision especially when looking at how dual CPU is considered a root cause of why the Jaguar was a failure.

Also the hardware rendered four sided polygons where the standard was three if they kept with triangle polygons I feel the systems development would have been easier to work with and we would have seen more third party ports in the west.

I think it was a victim of its time more than anything it saw huge success in Japan but the leadership and internal turmoil in the west meant games were not getting localised along with a focus on arcade like games were the PlayStation and later the N64 were pushing more in depth experiences over coin munching high score driven games.

Knightofelemia9h ago

I still enjoy my Saturn it was the first console I mowed lawns for and saved up for to purchase. I went so far as to purchase a used Saturn to run off an SD card. I even have a second Dreamcast modded to run off an SD card as well.
