Ni no Kuni II To Run at Dynamic 4K/HDR & 60FPS on PS4 Pro; It Will Take 40 Hours Plus Side Content

Wccftech talked with Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino to find out more about Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom ahead of its March 23rd release date, including the technical specs of the game running on PlayStation 4 Pro and the overall length of the RPG.

I want this game

[IamTylerDurden1]

I don't care if it's 1080P or 4K. RPGs that run at 60FPS are at the top of my list!

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Sorry but not caring about 4k is pretty insane. You probably dont have a 4ktv

[BlaqMagiq1]

Performance is more important than resolution. I'm perfectly fine with 1080p.

[ILostMyMind]

I have both 4K TV and a Pro, and if I have to choose I'll choose the performance.

[SurgicalMenace]

Who gives a damn about 4K, and I have a TV that costs 5 figures? Now what? You need something to make you feel superior to others, which is more telling of your inherent insecurity. You probably don't have anything more to add to your worth than that 4K tv, otherwise why come at someone else that way? I give a hell about 4K and I can afford anything I want in life. Just remember, when you get on a public site anyone can be watching. Your attempt to belittle someone because they don't value what adds no value is shameful at the least.

[Nebaku]

Not caring about 4k is insane? I guess that means the 95% of people without 4K TVs or devices are insane. Thank god we have smart ones like you to guide us through the error of our ways.

[jukins]

thats quite ignorant. I'll use shadow of colossus as an example. while cinematic mode clearly "looks" better, performance mode makes it that much more enjoyable to play

[Teflon02]

When you have 4k it kinda is nice to have. But I don't mind not having if my tv is good. It won't destroy the games look being upscale. But at the same time for ni no kuni I don't think 60fps really matters and I think it probably isn't preferred for me since it's a game that looks like animation that's created at 24fps. I like when the game matches the feel. That's why I wouldn't play last of us at 60fps but nioh I'd rather 60fps

[Grimwood]

You probably are one of those who never would see any difference if they didn't know what their tv shows.

[Eidolon]

I have a C7P and a PS4 pro. And I can honestly say I'd choose 60fps 1080p over stable 30fps 4k for certain games.

[Flewid638]

Shadow of the Colossus in 1080p/60fps looks WAAAY better than 30fps in 4K.

[Dragonscale]

Nah he understands how gameplay trumps graphics every time.

[dreue]

Dude 4k is still not full in, if you dont have a 4k tv dan you will not have 4k,a lot o tb people are starting to have, bit 4k will be full in only next gen of consoles.... So take it easy....

[ocelot07]

How is it insane? Like others have said I much rather have 60FPS than 4K any day of the week. I own a pretty good 4K HDR TV and yer playing games at 4K is nice and all. But if given the choice (like I do on PC) I would lower the resolution down in order to have a stable 60FPS.

If Horizon Zero Dawn had a 720p 60FPS option. I would take that over dynamic 4K or native 4K 30FPS every time.

[sprinterboy]

Or maybe we just prefer to wait till nxt gen when 4k really starts with little to no compromises

[killswitch80]

1080p is living in the past...4k is way focking better

[PoSTedUP]

it probably is, resolution-wise. im way more down with OLED tv's than 4k tho.

[Harkins1721]

8k just came out. 4k is now the past

[LateNightThirst]

@PostedUp

Whats the difference between OLED and 4K? Genius

[Ron_Danger]

@latenightthirst

Are you implying that OLED and 4K are the same thing?

[jukins]

Posted up umm what oled tv isn't 4k? Are you trying to sound cool or knowledgeable? You Re kinda failing

[Ron_Danger]

@jukins

There are several oled tvs that aren't 4K. A 1 second google search revealed the LG 55EA9800 and the LG 55EG9100.

Some of you guys are getting way too worked up over this issue, so much so that you're making claims off of assumptions and trying to pass off ignorance as fact.

[PoSTedUP]

yeah im just saying. im way more down with oled than 4k. as in, id be more satisfied with a higher end oled tv as opposed to a 4k tv with shitty specs etc. talking about in my budget range of course. not all oled screens and 4k tvs are treated the same.

[Wrex369]

I tend to agree.

[Cybermario]

oh yeah boi!

[Relientk77]

Aww I can't wait to sink into another JRPG

[Aceman18]

Yea PS systems have been on a roll this gen with JRPGs. I can't wait for this game.

[Wrex369]

I agree the PS is killing in JRPGS but I might add that Japanese developers really have found their footing in the new generation as a whole. The degree of quality is like triple from the 360/PS3 era. Been loving it.

[Atticus_finch]

Another Goty contender. Japan killing it again this year.

[Officialxandr]

Just finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Can't wait to delve into this.

[Shadow017]

Same I've been playing Monster Hunter World!!

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Won’t have much time for anything else with this game. Looks great though

[Cyborgg]

The beauty and luxury of owning a PS4 is that they have so many first and third party exclusives you don't even have time to play them all. Sony fans always have games to play. A true game console with diverse genre's of games.

[Elda]

Absolutely! Preach!

[Cyborgg]

@Woolly
Not a sales pitch. Just facts imo the PS4 diverse lineup and exclusives are great. Probably the reason why PS4 surpass 70 million units sold

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Well my PS4 games take so exorbitantly long to complete that after work I honestly just boot up the X and play a few quick and frenzied rounds of PUBG and Overwatch. I just don’t have time to spend 40-80hrs on a single game. I mean the diversity is great, but I think if a consumer doesn’t have the time to play them all then that’s not really a selling point to me. I have work to do, kids to parent, a gf, show so to catch up on.

[HotMoltenLava]

You sound like you doing a PlayStation commercial or marketing. Stop with the fake over reacting while trying to take a shot at the competition.

[Obscure_Observer]

@Cyborgg

Where´s your PC card?

[Codedan]

343 people don’t understand that some people work 40-60 hours a week, and don’t have time to play these games. If you do then enjoy the game, but why be arrogant on gaming forums?

[Good-Smurf]

I'm unemployed and still didn't have the time to play even half of what PS4 can offer lol.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

343 - at it again, just give up mate - like MS has done this gen. You lot flip flop, twist and turn you don't know where you are or what you are doing.

OT: The first was amazing, this is going to be even better. MHW should've had a good thrashing by then. Hopefully I can pick it up launch day.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

What am I flip flopping about? As someone who does science research for a living and has kids I don’t have time for all these massively long game campaigns. Short, quick and sweet is what I need. Now my needs may be different from yours. You need to chill.

[Cyborgg]

Science Research??? Sure 343 😁😅

[Aenea]

It's good to have choices! Isn't that what Xbox fans always like to say?

Didn't you praise EA Access and GamePass and BC in the past as well? Do you even have time for all those? Probably not....

So you only play PUBG and Overwatch 'cos you don't have time, why even buy all the consoles? Didn't you claim to own a PS4 (or Pro, dunno) for the exclusives? If you don't play them why bother buying the console?

[Matrix6]

I'm so excited!

[Protagonist]

No, no it is not being ported for the switch nor would it be able to run on the switch ;))

[Tross]

Nooooo!!!! I've beaten Persona 5, but haven't gotten to Nier: Automata yet, and I'm still on Volume 1 of .Hack// G.U. Last Recode! I'm swamped with PS4 exclusive JRPGs!!!! Ni no Kuni II has been at the top of my most anticipated list for a while, at least since Persona 5 was released. So many games, so little time, and that's just the JRPGs. I play a lot of other kinds of games too and my PS4 would probably file a restraining order if it were a person.

[Elda]

Nice.

[ocelot07]

Another title am going to buy and then put it in my to play backlog pile. However, It's a title that is getting bumped to near the top of the pile just behind Nioh.

[Lynx0207]

And I still don't know if PS3 is worth buying just for Ni no kuni I... I would buy it but I am too afraid that they are going to release NNK port for ps4 or pc ;(

[Tigerblud]

I kept my PS3 for the first and NCAA.

[ILostMyMind]

Sony should have released a remaster from the first game before.

[Bleucrunch]

This is sooooo getting purchased. I LOVED the first Ni NO Kuni. Looking forward to this adventure.

[LgbtWarrior]

Hell yeah! Love my pro.

[Jules__Badguy]

The first one was.... God Tier. I cannot wait for this.

[tulholdren]

Another day 1 for my PS4.

[S2Killinit]

This is such a unique franchise.

[Enjoigamin]

Going to be amazing.

[StormLegend]

60fps? nice!

[Blu3_Berry]

Very much looking forward to this when it releases. Perfect game to get before God of War comes out. I hope they can consider bringing the first Ni No Kuni over to current consoles and PC some time in the future.

[Harkins1721]

40 hrs for the main story plus side content. That's what I wanted for FFXV!

[patterson]

Been looking forward to this one. Soon!

[patterson]

They sure are!

[Hakoom]

thats what i call a talented dev..
4k 60fps

unlike that other game which looks like a ps3 game and cant even run at 60fps on the pro lol

[Darkwatchman]

What game

[Hakoom]

i forgot the name but there was an article few days ago on n4g which said that the game runs 4k 60frames on xbox 1 and less on the pro

but the game was no uncharted quality it looks like an indie game which can run on the ps3

[Wotbot]

Why dynamic? The game does look that intense?

[Xenophon_York]

Ni no Kuni has now popped up on my 'want list.' Too tempting considering the 60fps, 4K high dynamic range and the buzz this series always garners.

[inxine]

i actually dont care about 4k, stable framerate is important. but 40h ... i know we are getting spoiled with 40h these days but wow.
