Uh oh look out Jessica, someone's taking your waifu spot

TFJWM2897d ago

Jessica from DQ VIII.

Servbot412897d ago

Dude, how can someone consider this a must buy... and haven't played DQ8?

FullmetalRoyale2897d ago

@Servbot41

Because I think this game looks cool, which I thought was reason enough, and I haven't played ANY DQ game before.
Fun fact: I haven't played the majority of games that have been released, and I'm not alone!

SE is likely still undecided on the Switch version. It's the best explanation for their silence. They likely don't want to overly downgrade the PS4 version to make it functional on the Switch both docked and portable, but porting the 3DS version would be redundant, under utilize the Switch power, as well as fail to easily provide the modern and retro views side by side effectively. They definitely won't develop a totally separate third version either, leaving the Switch version totally up in the air.

I'd say it's a 50/50 chance that the Switch version will be straight up cancelled before any part of the port sees the light of day.

Zeldafan642897d ago (Edited 2897d ago )

I guarantee there will be a Switch version and I can't believe you think this game can't run the ps4 version without serious downgrades. The only reason this game would have serious downgrades from the ps4 version is if sony bullied square into making it seriously downgraded. sony are assholes with their shady dealings behind the scenes which is why i don't support them.

TFJWM2897d ago (Edited 2897d ago )

@Zeldafan64 Umm you really don't think that they would have to seriously downgrade it to run portable on the switch? Even docked it would be a downgrade and would be nothing to do with Sony making Square Enix do it, The switch just isnt that strong and the code was mostly likely written with only the Playstation in mind

Servbot412897d ago (Edited 2897d ago )

Probably not coming for a while. I'm guessing Squeenix would rather not undermine the potential profit on the 3DS version. If a Switch version does eventually manifest itself, I wouldn't be surprised if its at least a year later and just the 3DS version upscaled, since that would be easier than trying to downgrade the PS4 version enough.

Look how bad Dragon Quest Heroes 2 looks on the Switch; you really think that it can handle the PS4 version of DQ11 in any capacity?

pietro12122897d ago

Heroes 2 was a lazy port the switch version looks just like the vita version of the game

3-4-52897d ago

Really want to play this on Switch, but I'd love to play it on PS4 & 3DS as well. As long as we get a few of the versions over here in the US.

Im buying both versions of this one.. These games need support to keep releasing... Plus im sure it will be great on both systems.. Great series however i already know the 3DS version will be censored.. Im glad i still have my PS2 version of DQ8.. The 3DS version edited out things that arent even bad/offensive to the snowflakes.

Nicely done. My favorite entry next to 8/9.

Zeldafan6410d ago

My second favorite after 3 and just ahead of 8.

FullmetalRoyale10d ago

When I played this game I was in disbelief that I had somehow not played this franchise. I absolutely adored this game, and have since played two other entries. Been saving the two on 3ds. Next entry is easily a day one purchase.

Michiel19899d ago

I had the same man, the goofy aesthetics always kinda prevented me from trying it, but boy was I wrong.

andy8510d ago

Keep 12 turn based for christ sake

andy859d ago

Me too after the comments a few years ago. Hopefully the success of recent ones changed their idiotic thinking

Melankolis10d ago

Good. Prefer 4-7 with DS & PS1 graphic though, modest yet stimulating imagination.

Miraak82 10d ago

Only DQ game i've ever played and one of the best games I've ever played , such a great experience . I wonder if the original ps4 release was included in these sales

RedDevils9d ago

Go play 8 if you like this one.

Miraak82 9d ago

i actually bought DQ8 on ps2 back in the day but mainly for the FF12 demo disc lol . I tried it but there were sooo many rpgs to play at the time that I think I played it for for a little bit before trading it in , maybe if they come out with a remaster/remake I'll try it out again

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69970d 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…

LucasRuinedChildhood970d ago (Edited 970d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic969d 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 Dover970d ago

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

SlothLordPootus970d ago

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

jeromeface970d ago

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

cluclap970d 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.

andy85970d 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

VersusDMC970d ago

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

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

EvertonFC970d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus970d ago

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

dazzysima970d ago

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

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP970d 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

VersusDMC970d 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.

MrNinosan970d 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?

Me being a Playstation guy and a huge JRPG fan, I can say that the only franchises I actually miss that are on Switch are The Fire Emblem series and The Xenoblade Chronicles series. I've played neither but I've heard good things. I've seen people play Xenoblade Chronicles games on youtube, and it seems like they think it's a big deal so I'm curious.

Rebel_Scum988d ago

As someone who doesnt like jrpg’s that much these days I went into Xenoblade Chronicles blind and had a blast. Reminded me of that golden age of 16-bit and 32-bit jrpgs. If thats the era you liked then it should hit the spot.

jznrpg988d ago

I only have a Switch for the games that don’t come on PlayStation . There aren’t a ton but there are some good ones.

repsahj988d ago (Edited 988d ago )

I agree with top 1, for me xenoblade chronicles 3(and 2) is one of the greatest jrpg to date. It's like the feeling of playing ff7 on ps1 for the first time again. Imagine if XC3 was done with ps5 graphics, that will be magical. I might get the xc remaster before the year ends or after I got the platinum trophy of GoW ragnarok.

jznrpg988d ago

I didn’t care for 2 as much . It’s good but 3 is sooo much better than so is the first one imo .

repsahj988d ago

yeah I agree, but much better than any recent jrpg releases.
