Support NeoGAF

[RK128]

So that it is never localized? No Thanks.

PS4 please.

Considering we are getting DQVII and VIII next year for the 3DS, I think you're a bit wrong there .

But considering how the 3DS will likely stop getting support by 2017, I could understand wanting DQ games to come to playstation, as they seem to get games localized faster (though we still have no idea on Builders, PS4 XI and Heroes 2).

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Unless they've decided to make a new Rocket Slime, I have to imagine this is a mobile title.

Being a completely new title rules out a port/remake, or an expansion for Dragon Quest X. But I can't imagine them announcing another Monsters game or Heroes 3 before the next games even release.

 

[kuroneko0509]

let's announce some stuff before the current upcoming game comes out... so.... DQXII online :^)

 

[entremet]

DQ IX mobile probably.

Not a port apparently.

 

[crinale]

Well this has become a small news in Japan but considering SE is DQ event right after year changes to 2016 we aren't expecting major to be revealed at Dec, but SE's announcement pattern has been a bit erratic too so something major may come.

Edit: It's also worth nothing that guy will show up very late at night, so I think we can cross out major announcement..

 

[Asd202]

Nintendo is localizing DQ VII and VIII if those bomb we will probably never see them picking up DQ ever again. Though they may have already made a deal with SE regarding DQ XI hence we see VII and VIII.

Yeah, dont expect a packaged or full priced title to be announced this late in the year when they already have spin-offs lineuped for the next couple months with Heroes 2, Builders and Jokers 3. Digital/f2p would be my guess....

 

[Magicpaint]

Jeez, in the past year we've had...

Theatrhythm Dragon Quest
DQ XI announcment
DQVIII on 3DS
DQVII and VIII western release announcement
DQ Builders
DQ Heroes
DQ Heroes II announcement
DQ Joker 3 coming out

I mean what's left? Rocket Slime? Some sort of kart racer?

Yeah it's pretty crazy having all these DQ games atm. Don't forget the mobile games as well.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Right, but it's not a great sign. It also means they might be choosier with what they decide to bother with here on out.

It took them about 5 games on DS/Wii before they gave up completely last time, half of which outsold Heroes.

Again, the English version also work for the Asian territories and from what we know, DQH sold more than a million in Asia/Japan, which is good enough for some companies.

Companies bet IP's on single strategies all the time, particularly Japanese ones.

Square Enix isn't a small company though. They have also changed a lot the past few years after the new CEO.

 

[GhostTrick]

Also, the funniest thing isn't even people asking for specific game, but for specific platforms.
Like "it doesn't matter what game it is, it has to be here !!". Anyway, I guess it's likely to be a new spin-off entry
2016 is Dragon Quest anniversary, they want to have Dragon Quest everywhere

 

[Earthpainting]

Heard about this on twitter, and assumed Dragon Quest 9 for mobile is probably right. It's the only missing main entry at the moment. They'll be able to boast that all entries are playable on iOS and Android for the anniversary.

EDIT
Just read Jin's comments, and a port seems unlikely. Curious now. I could definitely go for another Rocket Slime.

 

[RichiRamjag]

So that it sells like shit? No thanks.

Steam please.

(Lol)

So folks can complaint about the port work?

PS Vita please.

I was talking about the 2017 support, of course. Vita/3DS/WiiU will be long dead by then. XBO is obviously out of question and PS4 version means it will make way to Steam as well.

Well this has become a small news in Japan but considering SE is DQ event right after year changes to 2016 we aren't expecting major to be revealed at Dec, but SE's announcement pattern has been a bit erratic too so something major may come.

Expecting new mobile game now. Hype deflated.

 

[JuanLatino]

from verendus list there is one Dragon Quest Game left to be announced for Ps4

he said its a Remake.

Dragon Quest 5 HD on Ps4?

Edit: oh he rules out remakes....

 

[BlackBuzzard]

So that it sells like shit? No thanks.

Steam please.

(Lol)

So that it only sells when its 75% off or below 20$? No thanks.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

So folks can complaint about the port work?

PS Vita please.

So people can complain it's not on home console?

Wii U please

Spoiler

this is fun

 

[The Last One]

Steam please.

(Lol)

Heroes sold more on steam? That's surprising actually. Hope DQ XI and Heroes II come over to the west though.

 

[ULTROS!]

Dragon Quest XII for PS4, PS5

Spoiler

, and NX

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Heroes sold more on steam? That's surprising actually. Hope DQ XI and Heroes II come over to the west though.

Lol, nah. It sold even half of what the PS4 version sold, in just NPD, and not counting digital.

Here is the LTD starting Dec 1st.
Owners: 14,450 ± 2,619

 

[Bluenoser]

3DS please.

3DS has had plenty of JRPG love. Time to spread the wealth.

 

[Sterok]

Heroes 4. Why wait until 3 is announced? They should show that they have long-term plans.

 

[kadotsu]

They have many console/handheld games in development so my guess would be a new mobile RPG or an expansion for X.

 

[GhostTrick]

Lol, nah. It sold even half of what the PS4 version sold, in just NPD, and not counting digital.

Here is the LTD starting Dec 1st.
Owners: 14,450 ± 2,619

The good thing is it didn't tanked like other TK releases. Still in top 100, I think this game has a bright future in long term sales.

 

[Eolz]

I wouldn't bet on a big game. Might not even be one getting a localization, especially after the poor PS4 spinoff sales.

 

[The Last One]

Lol, nah. It sold even half of what the PS4 version sold, in just NPD, and not counting digital.

Oh LOL, then he was sarcastic. I actually think that Square really isn't taking that much in consideration how well Heroes did in the west. It's a really different game, not a traditional DQ.

Traditional DQs don't do much in West. Unless its a big, new mainline release with a load of marketing.

 

[Takao]

splatoon clone where you shoot slimes

 

[Asd202]

All those gloom talks regarding DQH sales on PS4 in the West needs to stop. First it was only NPD second it's a fan service game for a series that haven't had a game on the platform for years and third it wouldn't do to hot on 3DS also seeing how sales for the platform have fallen recently. If we won't see DQH 2 or DQ XI than we can say it bombed horribly.

(Lol)

Great joke. Made my day.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Dragtoon.

 

[GhostTrick]

splatoon clone where you shoot slimes

I'd buy that.

Spoiler

if localized.

 

[-Horizon-]

Dragon Quest Heroes 3
They announced the second one like a week after the first one came out. Lets announce the third before the second is even out. Woohoo!

really? wow

 

[Hexa]

Heroes sold more on steam? That's surprising actually. Hope DQ XI and Heroes II come over to the west though.

I sincerely doubt that. According to Steam spy its about 15,000. It hasn't gone on sale though so hopefully that'll pick up.
Still, the games very much will remain heavily focused on Japan where it debuted at 325k on PS3 and 260k on PS4, so the focus will remain Playstation.

 

[agiantenemycrab]

Please be this.

Loweredexpectations.gif ?

Mainline DQ doesn't really sell well in the west anyway (even if IX did pretty well). Doesn't help that S-E doesn't know how to market it.

 

[RPGamer92]

Could it be the PS4 remake of the older game that Verendus hinted at before?

 

[entremet]

Could it be the PS4 remake of the older game that Verendus hinted at before?

Nope. It's a new game.

 

[crinale]

Could it be the PS4 remake of the older game that Verendus hinted at before?

Actually Horii said something interesting at PS Award, but I think I'll wait for January announcement.

 

[Hugstable]

Probably mobile port of DQIX with new online

 

[Aeana]

!renamethread A new opportunity for people to port beg a game they won't play announced for 12/23

 

[Hexa]

That isn't true.

I'm being hyperbolic. 34 days between launch and announcement of another game is still really low though.

Well I'm not expecting some huge numbers but I get the feeling some are like "if this was on Nintendo platform it would have done much better" and IMO it wouldn't.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

At $5 bomba price level and with Humble Bundles, like Tomb Raider

 

[Ghost Slayer]

All hope is dead with new Suikoden rumor, thanks a lot Verendus :'(

 

[crinale]

Yeah I know However the worse thing was they opened the DQH2 site at April 1st lol.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Dragon Quest Theatrhythm: Curtain Fall

 

[GhostTrick]

At $5 bomba price level and with Humble Bundles, like Tomb Raider

Well, if you say so
I guess they must find an appeal for this
Anyway, this isn't the thread to discuss such matter. It would just be derailing.

 

[Hexa]

lol yeah. Everyone was like "Are they for real?" xD

All hope is dead with new Suikoden rumor, thanks a lot Verendus :'(

It may well have been in development with Konami quietly cancelling it. We'll never know.

 

[The Last One]

What if the new game is new Itadaki Street? BOOM
