[MatrixMan.EXE]

Surprised this isn't getting a physical release here in Europe, but if enough noise is made I'm sure it will happen. Will buy it day one on PS4 regardless since I never finished my import copy on Vita.

Everyone should be this, seriously. It suffers the same boring/repetitive dungeon syndrome as Persona has so far but the story and Digimon raising mechanics more than make up for it. Really addictive stuff, and the game being an absolute stunner visually is icing on the cake.

 

[Alo0oy]

If you need to compare it, it's like the 3rd one the most.

Thanks, bought!

 

[Paper Sparrow]

I just realized they didn't use the "Digimon font" in the title and they stuck with Digimon Story instead of changing it to Digimon World like they usually do.

Cool beans.

 

[alexein]

i really want a physical copy so i hope they change their at least for ps4.
but no biggie i guess, i'll just import if not.

 

[YianGaruga]

Nothing in the article you linked says the game won't have an english dub. Neither the trailer or the article.

Here you go

http://www.rpgsite.net/news/4416-di...ng-to-north-america-in-2016-on-ps4-and-psvita

At Bandai Namco's RPG Panel at Anime Expo, the publisher has announced that Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth will release in 2016 on PlayStation 4 and digitally only on PlayStation Vita. It will also make its way to Latin America and Brazil. The localization will feature Japanese voices with English subtitles.

Question, is this game easily accessible to newcomers? I never gave a crap about digimon when i was younger and never watched the show or anything, but this game seems interesting

Yes, you can play this even if you've never played or watched Digimon. You'll only lose out on the "what Digimon do I want to try and get" because you won't have a frame of reference. You'll discover the Digimon and which ones you like as you play the game.

Well. That's disappointing. Would've figured they'd give a decent amount of effort since they're porting it to PS4.

It's pretty easy like the Pokemon games. You'll be fine, and the story has nothing to do with the show. I mean you'll get extra gratification from seeing all the Digimon from the past 15 years but if you haven't followed the franchise, they won't be completely lost on you.

 

[MaximumSpider]

The preorder is up in Amazon now!!

 

[michaelius]

....sooo who will make the petition?

Buying Sword Art physically will probably help more than petition

 

[Yazuka]

No worries if we don't get a physical version in Eu. Will import it.

 

[Stuart444]

Well. That's disappointing. Would've figured they'd give a decent amount of effort since they're porting it to PS4.

Just because it has no english dub, doesn't mean they are putting effort into it. Budget is separate from effort lol.

They probably consider this a rather risky venture so they need to keep costs down.

It was most likely this or it wouldn't be coming at all.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Is it confirmed to be Japanese VAs with English subs?

 

[khaaan]

Charmander is the coolest one, right?

 

[Stuart444]

Is it confirmed to be Japanese VAs with English subs?

Yes.

Charmander is the coolest one, right?

Double Yes

 

[MaximumSpider]

Is it confirmed to be Japanese VAs with English subs?

Yeah

 

[PaulBizkit]

It's no surprise to see this game ported to the ps4... The vita is so dead in the west that the only good games it has are sent to the console people actually bought.

I always confuse this game, the re:digitize one and the one on psp. Too many digimon games.

 

[i-Jest]

Any more video game dreams people said would never happen expected to come true in 2015? I think PSO2 and Legacy of Kain are all that's left?

Your forgetting Agent and a new Half Life game.


I wonder if those who preorder will get the soundtrack as a bonus? That would be delicious.

 

[Curler]

Cool beans.

I love that they kept the cover Even kind of boob-girl is still on the cover and not covered (to my surprise). I guess they aren't really trying to market it to kids anyways and understand that most of the fanbase are older now and can handle such stuff.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Love that the kept the same style as the JP box art but poor Hagurumon got Mike Wazowskied by the title this time around haha

 

[Tohsaka]

Well. That's disappointing. Would've figured they'd give a decent amount of effort since they're porting it to PS4.

All their anime games are Japanese voices only these days, which is my preference anyway so I'm fine with it.

Yeah this game definitely goes in a more mature direction. Considering the Japanese version had no furigana, I don't think this was intended for the usual audience.

Best starter being ignored.

 

[Stuart444]

Best starter being ignored.

Terriermon isn't being ignored

 

[Curler]

Wait, it's subbed too?! 0_0 I'm even MORE happy!! So, true subs and not dubtitles I'm guessing then?

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Yeah

Great news!

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Best starter being ignored.

Agreed, Bamco trying to hide the truth clearly.

 

[silva1991]

Most notable would be armor evolutions. There are only 3, Fladramon, Magnamon, and Rapidmon (Armor).

Other favorites missing are Lopmon's full line. Wendimon and Cherubimon (Evil) are not in.

Disappointing.

I was looking forward to these

 

[Curler]

Disappointing.

I was looking forward to these

Aw darn Well, with much support maybe we can make more Digimon games happen and perhaps they will be in it!

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Terriermon isn't being ignored

I would fight you on this, but I am unable to hate on Terriermon.

Damn his cuteness!

 

[Sylver]

Great to see it's confirmed on EU too, digital or retail, no matters for me.
Bamco is being so awesome with Vita .

PD.- Sad news englsih text only.

 

[Stuart444]

I would fight you on this, but I am unable to hate on Terriermon.

Damn his cuteness!

Though I am glad Haguru was a starter since you wouldn't normally expect him to be a starter in a Digimon game.

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Disappointing.

I was looking forward to these

Yeah. :/

I sort of understand why they didn't have them in, considering evolution to Champion/Adult is so fast, but they could have made them useful by giving them secret moves or something like that.

 

[OniBarubary]

Wait wait wait.

This girl is still in the game, right?

Or is that the game before this one?

I've wanted to play whichever game she's in for like, years.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Game is hella easy. You should have no problems playing with no experience with the series.

Yes, you can play this even if you've never played or watched Digimon. You'll only lose out on the "what Digimon do I want to try and get" because you won't have a frame of reference. You'll discover the Digimon and which ones you like as you play the game.

You guys are life savers, thank you!

 

[YianGaruga]

EDIT: Ignore me

 

[Stuart444]

Yeah. :/

As disappointing as it may be, it's still the largest cast of playable Digimon I believe in a Digimon game. So it's not all bad

 

[Napalm_Frank]

It feels kind of surreal to know Vita localizations are alive and well for 2016 for big games. Makes me happy ;-;.

As a kid I was a HUGE fan of the first season of the anime so that definately helps.

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Though I am glad Haguru was a starter since you wouldn't normally expect him to be a starter in a Digimon game.

Yeah and they give him all of his cool evolution lines, so he's fun to evolve and devolve.

Wait wait wait.

This girl is still in the game, right?

Or is that the game before this one?

I've wanted to play whichever game she's in for like, years.

She's a main character in Digimon World: Reigitize: Decode, but she's also a side character in this as well.

No doubt. The amount of Digimon in this game is nothing to sneeze at and, more likely than not, you'll find one of your faves.

If I can get a Mihiramon on here... I want one.

 

[Usobuko]

My fav is Agumon line, I'm safe for whatsoever they are going to put out in future.

 

[Mr-Joker]

I am glad that this game is getting localized, but I am bummed out that it's digital only in Europe. I really hope that Namco at least give a retail option as I don't like buying games digitally.

I also hope that Namco localize Digimon World: Reigitize: Decode as well.

 

[Stuart444]

My fav is Agumon line, I'm safe for whatsoever they are going to put out in future.

Well IF they do pre-order bonuses or even just general DLC, you'll have a choice between Black Agumon (which can become BlackWargreymon) or normal Agumon line including Geogreymon + normal Greymon routes (former leads to Shinegreymon and latter leads to Wargreymon).

Lots of choice.

 

[OniBarubary]

...that game is never coming out here, is it? ;___;

 

[Stuart444]

VERY slim chance. Like 1% or less.

That will be 0% if this doesn't sell well at all though.

Screenshot shows "Gatomon", so don't get your hopes too high

 

[Stuart444]

It's funny, it uses some established translations like Gatomon (which the OVA teaser/trailer from Toei also used funnily enough) but uses some original JP attack names like Giga Destroyer instead of Giga Blaster.

It's interesting in a good way imo.
