The PS4 and NX versions look absolutely beautiful, super unfinished with lots of work to be done yet (theres clearly not a battle system yet in place for example), but still beautiful.
But its the 3ds version the one that looks super cute and interesting. And it seems to be going along fast and nice.
A funny detail. The circle walled city with the market place below, of PS4/NX video reminded me to the Oxenfurt I read on the Witcher books more, than the Oxenfurt it appears in the final Witcher 3 game.
PS4 version will come over 100%.
Yeah I hope it means SE is done with trying to make their own engines.
Dragon Quest on your system is a huge deal in Japan.
Also this is the first official game annoucement for the system. Even Nintendo hasn't announced anything yet for the platform in terms of games.
The PS4 version feels a bit weird to me. The areas are looking great, but it's a bit unusual these days to see environments being so clearly limited by huge cliffs and walls. I wonder if that's just because the game's still early or if the world will limited like this throughout the game. Just looks a bit weird and makes me feel slightly claustrophobic when watching the video.
Both versions look good. Really.
The PS4 one was oviously an early build (I'd say earlier) but the UE4 way of rendering the cartoonish style was pretty good. The 3Ds one looked very solid for the console, and I really liked the 3D/2D rendering for both overworld and battle screen. Plus, I love touch-based menu for RPGs.
Curious about NX version too..

While it really doesn't say much, it DOES at least say that Wii U will be similar to PS4. Granted, SE could be designing a down-port for the NX, but that doesn't seem to be super likely. Unless DXI on NX will be a more mobile-focused game or something to tie into the idea that the NX will incorporate aspects of mobile gaming into itself.
i'm not sure nintendo let them do that. i would think horii just fucking said it because he's 61 and doesn't give a shit.

They look like they're running on the same engine. I noticed the black outlines around the characters immediately as very reminiscent of Smash Bros for 3DS.
[Eurogamer] Dragon Quest 11 coming to 3DS, PlayStation 4 - and the NX

I'm kind of surprised by this. I was expecting a 3DS game in spite of SE saying DQ will be back on the big screen after both installments previously exclusive to Sony hardware (notwithstanding spin-offs like The Adventures of Young Yangus) came over to the 3DS.
That being said, I am glad that SE's keeping the franchise alive on Nintendo handhelds (which will be my preferred version - if it makes its way to Europe) and bringing DQ to the big screen as well. And yeah... I think this makes everybody who likes jRPG happy too.

I'm not digging the PS4 look. Depends on the Review, might have to upgrade to new 3DS.
I'll take it. I'm a bit tired of gigantic open environments that take a long time to traverse.

From what I understand based on hearsay, they really only have a select team of programmers that can work the engine, and said team is completely tied up with FFXV atm. If we waited for them and the luminous engine, it'll be years before we see KH3 and DQXI.
SE is especially keen to push more games out Ina shorter time frame, so it makes sense to switch to Unreal development, which is supposedly quicker to push through. Understandly for DQ, it is also because they want to meet the anniversary date next year.

what? for real?
oh thank fuck.
I saw the thread title and im like "3DS is gonna hold back the ps4", but this is great news that its 2 different games
It's the first game announced for the platform. How could it not?

Or maybe they already plan on getting the NX but not the PS4.
Not everything is console wars bullshit.
Uh, the Wii U isn't that similar to the PS4 at all. Also we already knew that.

Yes but KH3 began development in the Luminous and got ported to UE4 a year or so into development so at least at one point it wasn't made with only XV in mind.

Probably because it's the first actual game announcement for the system.
Relax, that was a joke.

I'm glad we're finally seeing more games using it. Feels like it's been a long time coming.

Interesting that they threw the NX announcement in there.
Personally, I am not sure why Nintendo would do another hardware platform. I feel going the way of greating a platform for games, ala Steam, but with Nintendo's own stuff, which they could run across multiple platforms, would make more sense. I mean, I don't think putting something out only at the level of PS4/Xbone in a year or two is the best way to go, but interested to see what they come up with anyway. Even at PS4-level, a Zelda game would look incredible.

Ni no Kuni was a DS game, and then it got remade for PS3. Same story, but PS3 has an extended scenario.

Jeez. Weird that they let him talk about that.
Of course not you don't make an engine just for one game. It was supposed to be used on SE games to speed up (lol) development.

Might be my first Dragon Quest game. Keep the games coming SE.

SE delivered. Please be excited delivered.
No it doesn't. You know there's a 3DS version of DQXI, right? And a 3DS version of DQX?
Not sure why you think DQXI on the NX, if it's a handheld, must be some sort of mobile game.

I hope there is no exclusive story/game content in either version.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't know anything.
"We want DQ11 on the NX! Start developing!"
"Cool...so what is the NX going to be like?"
"Umm.. Make a PS4 and 3ds version, that should cover it"
Seems like a square approach.

That's essentially a translation of the press release with the (fair) assumption that looking into NX means confirmed.
No "NX version" was shown and we have no idea what it will look like.
????
I'll admit I egged on Unreal Engine 3 multiple times last gen but seeing how it's helping the development scene in Japan, I'll gladly eat crow.
Yes, that's my point.

I mean as in extra story scenarios exclusive to either the 3DS or PS4 version or exclusive features like multiplayer ect...
Just examples.
