When Dragon Quest Heroes launched in Japan, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia and Square Enix took over the 80 meter-long wall at the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line Shinjuku Station’s Metro Promenade asking commuters to help defeat 100,000 slimes represented by a massive sheet of bubble wrap.
Now, with Dragon Quest Builders, a block-make RPG due out for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita on January 28, Sony and Square Enix have taken over the 80 meter-long wall once again, asking that commuters remove one of the 180,000 blocks that make up its Dragonlord and monsters pixel image. By removing these blocks and “defeating” the monsters and Dragonlord, a special poster underneath will gradually be unveiled.

"Today, SQUARE ENIX® announced that "DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS", the first game in the popular block-building role-playing series, is launching February 13th on PC via STEAM." - SQUARE ENIX.
Feels strange to release now after Dragon Quest Builders 2 has been available for so many years. It was good for its time, but DQ Builders 2 improved on it in so many ways. I'd have a harder time going back to the first one now.
You are correct...So I don't know the thought proecess behind this move...Besides an easy money grab.
I do hope they make a 3rd in the series, so I'll support this easy money grab. I really enjoyed DQ Builders 2 especially. :)
I'd like to see them bring in more advanced building concepts, like Minecraft's redstone machines. I much prefer playing w non-blocky characters, w this Dragon Quest feel.
"A bumper crop of PlayStation titles make up October’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup. All these games will be available to play starting Tuesday, October 18. Without further ado, let’s dive in. Also added this month: The Medium, Dragon Quest Builders, Dragon Quest Heroes and more. "
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…
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.
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.
Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.
fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no
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.
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
If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.
Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.
Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.
Have they even added any new trials since launch?
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
I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.
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?
