Lol. It's NIS we're talking about here.
And it's some fairly standard animation, nothing flashy. Looks like it's out of the PS3 game to me.
Ok, was this just a countdown to another coundtown?

Can't read the text but seems to imply Playstation and 23rd April?

It's saying more info on Witch Revival will be in this week's issue of Dengeki PlayStation.
Another countdown clock started. That might be for the site's proper opening?
Yeah 21/22 day countdown started after I left the site for a while.
Thanks for the translation.
Fron what I can read it says that additional information will be shared in the next Dengeki Playstation issue released on the 23rd of April.

So how was the witch and hundred knights game anyway? I've missed it when it first launched.
I just played it a couple months ago. It was alright. The main character is extremely unlikable for the first 30-40% of the game. The gameplay was pretty fun, but it never really evolved much during the course of the game. How you played in chapter 2 was the same way you played in chapter 10.
Pretty good OST also.

I might get this if they fix the bug that causes the game to randomly shut down and exit to the XMB.

Aw.
I wanted Disgaea D2, I mean, I have it on PS3 but I don't really have the urge playing it on a console like the PS3.

A countdown for a countdown. Alright then.
Well, according to Gematsu, details from the upcoming Dengeki Playstation should leak tomorrow morning, so hopefully we'll have more concrete info then.

It's a port for PS4.

If they didnt update the horrible combat system among a few other things yeah cant see this exactly doing too well as the initial PS3 version let down folks also considering how many delays it had initially...

Never got the PS3 version, so I'll get this one. I was expecting vita, but this is a fine surprise.
But yeah, this probably won't do so hot. At least not in Japan.

Maybe the point is actually the inevitable international release?
I mean the Console -> Portable thing at least gives convenience (+DLC usually) but PS3>4 isn't offering anything except graphics since it was designed on PS3 so it's not like the power can be used for anything else.
So I could see the point being to try and grab some Western audience. Especially given the gameplay.

Except the PS3 version was already released in the West, not to mention that the most PS4 owners interested in JRPGs also have a PS3.

Funny there's still a SELECT button in the HUD..
Its like they forgot to remove that from the HUD layer when making the screenshot. Since they added in the L2 / R2 PS4 trigger icon graphic, but forgot to remove the select button thing / replace it with the correct PS4 button.

While I do think that's a motivating factor, I think the bigger issue is that NIS want to be one of the first few Japanese devs to make the jump to the PS4.
It also might have been harder to port it down to the vita, especially depending on how much they add (google translate is extremely untrustworthy, but it seems to indicate that you can play as Metallia in this version, for instance). There's a lot more going on in WatHK than in most of their sprite based SRPGs.
Pretty much what I expected.It's a port for PS4.

For this game they decided to port up and have the game run better on PS4 rather than port down to Vita which might of actually caused the game to run worse than it does on PS3.
NIS already talked about the development difficulties of this game on PS3, porting to Vita would mean some of these issues possibly popping up again.
They might also be using the sales this version to help development of an actual squeal later.

I don't think its really aimed at the JRPG audience honestly. In some ways this game seems to have been aimed at the Western ARPG/Action Roguelike market from the start (at least far more so than say Disgaea was).

Ugh. I was was off on this one huh!
A bit of a surprising decision to be honest. I don't know what they're going for with this. In Japan, is there really an audience on PS4 that wasn't on PS3? If it's the same audience, would they be receptive to buying the game again for another home console? If they're targeting the west with this game, are they expecting it to expand beyond the usual NISA-buying crowd?
I can't help but think this is going to be another horrifically performing game for NIS.

Slightly disappointed it's just a port, but I already own it on PS3 so I'm not looking to purchasing it again, even if it means that it'd fix the crash bug (I assume or at least hope it'd be fixed in the new version). The one thing that really ruined my enjoyment of the game personally and why I haven't gone back to it yet, as far as I am aware it's never been patched?

Well, there will be additional content, but I'm not sure if it will be enough to convince people to buy the game again.
No, the game was never patched.

Ow, goddammit NIS, you won't sell much by doing a port.
On the other hand, this seems pretty nice. Will see depending on the price... (and if we even get it in the west)

If Disgaea didn't move them over I don't see what will.

Its not like there is some sort of massive Disgaea fanbase anyways to begin with. Following below are opening week sales #s.
[PS3] Disgaea 3 (Nippon Ichi Software) - 54,596 / NEW
Was unable to find numbers for the Vita version. Besides the info that it charted in 22nd place at launch therefore not getting any numbers published.
[PS3] Disgaea 4 (Nippon Ichi Software) {2011.02.24} - 79.425 / NEW
[PSV] Disgaea 4 Return (NIS, 01/30/14) – 33,749 (New)
[PS4] Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance (NIS, 03/26/15) – 22,725 (New)

i hope it comes to the west if possible
I don't know. It's a tough time to be NIS.
It will, it's not like they have many options for localization these days after they lost Idea Factory and GUST games.

Just for completion sake:
190 PS3 Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice 56,441
54 PSV Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention 21,848
125 PS3 Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten 77,449
56 PSV Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited 29,904
250 PS3 Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness 53,814
40 PS4 Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance 22,872
There's never been some massive fanbase, but barely outselling a Disgaea 3 port which launched with Vita is quite something.
This announcement made me realize that the only series NIS has is Disgaea and potentially this if we get a sequel.
Disgaea is by far their biggest ip and I would say all their games are targeting the exact same people.

Lol, I still haven't touched this on PS3. Think I'm just going to trade it in and I'm not really interested in the PS4 port. :/

Just for the sake of comparison:
4. [PS3] The Witch and the Hundred Knights 49,209 (New)
We also know that it shipped 90,000 units, which made NIS happy.
If we compare this to home consoles, it seems unlikely this will outsell D5.
Also, I know for a while some people kept saying that the Disgaea series is more popular in the west. I don't know if there's any proof or truth to that, but I remember seeing that thrown around for a bit.
