Whenever someone says the PS4 and XB1 are the same, that person should be shown this list from now on.
This makes me incredibly happy. Its been so long since I felt joy in knowing what was coming from SE, its like someone at Se decided to cave and just give everyone what they wanted. I'm getting both version if they ever make it over and will probably get it on the NX as well. Today has been a very good day. Also that list from M.Night is just too good and shows the bright future we have ahead.

Wow at the visuals on the PS4 version. Looks amazing. I love the old school, 2d RPG version on the 3ds bottom screen. That's a really cool feature. Wow at NX.

I suppose the problem with UE4 was that it was hard to predict just how good it would be.
UE3's results were pretty bad for Japanese devs and that was also down to the console hardware last gen too.
You can't blame them really for wanting to take a better crack and developing a competent internal engine and not predicting just how good UE4 would be! I'm sure they would have loved that foresight!

The PS4 version is more complex so it's not really a surprise they didn't have all of the NPCs and all that stuff ready for the presentation. The 3DS version reuses assets so they have more time to setup a proper demo for the stage demonstration.
It really doesn't speak to how far the projects are along, just that it's probably more difficult to get something put together when you're doing stuff in HD, from scratch, and having to deal with complex environments, lol.
Im looking at this list and everyone seems to be forgetting about Saga for Vita.

YEah I see people posting that from time to time, that's only true if you have a narrow minded view where only Big AAA games mater. One of the reasons I go Playstation is that japanese support, and more unique titles imo.
Luminous Engine is a mess. The writing was on the wall when the guy in charge of it suddenly left along with the global technology director.
If they're only putting it on PS4 in the west, they're riding too high on it driving the series in the west, because that means they're expecting growth out of the series in those areas due to the higher production costs. I'm "guessing" it will come out on NX in the west as well, but that's still going to be mid-late 2017 at the earliest.
For the 3DS version, they're going to bring out 7r, 8r and 11 on the system in the west or none of them. It really can't go any other way at this point. I know that sounds really cynical and discouraging, but there's no point to not go all in or get out.

Well I'm also in the camp now that it will be a one hit wonder. After XV I expect they will stick with the UE4 train.
As a whole though it will be interesting how XV holds up to VII remake from a technical perspective.
Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts won't be pushing the hardware to its limits like those titles.
Top screen on the NX: PS4 environment
Bottom screen on the NX: 3DS top screen
And in your heart: 3DS bottom screen

Well, for one thing, Unreal Engine 4.
$20 DLC for each graphical option in the west.

I wonder how much VIIremake will push the PS4... Nomura did say they are not going to sacrifice gameplay for graphics, so...
lol
I hope no one corrects it.

This is so good!
I had to let this sink in for the entire day. On paper, if you took the important details, it really does sound like it is too good to be true. I think the OP kind of encapsulates that whole feeling.
However, I was really looking forward to the DQVIII feeling returning for DQXI. While that is still in contention, and nothing that we've seen directly kind of goes against that, I'm still really apprehensive. This looks really, really ambitious when you consider that they're two of the best looking games right now on their respective platforms and even the 3DS is trying some pretty cool things. Even if they didn't look as good as they do now, I would still be apprehensive considering they're making two games for radically different hardware. It's not going to be a port job by any means. I understand that they have different teams working on them alongside the core staff, but it definitely isn't the case where the entire support is going to one version of the game. Both versions look to be great but I'm still wondering what kind of feeling they're trying to go for with the PS4 version; I already have a good idea on what DQXI 3DS is trying to be.
Basically, with the platform announcement being as weird as it is, even though I should be stupidly excited for both games I'm still left wanting more. Particularly more from the PS4 version. The DQVIII ensemble cast exploring a big world feeling is just amazing, and while this looks to be half-way there, I wonder if it has what it takes to go all the way. I really hope it does.

Doesnt this basically confirm action rpg, considering turn based combat really isnt effected nearly as much as action combat when it comes to the "graphics v. gameplay"

The odd thing is that it seems like it's mostly big Japanese devs that are supporting it rather than big western devs. We've seen some western devs stick to UE3.
it makes no sense, because it made all the sense in the world.
I just gotta imagine the 3DS version will get finished real quick or have a much smaller team considering the experience, engine, and assets from the previous 3DS games.
This is a very good question
Also playing this on Vita is going to be crazy awesome

Speaking of Unreal Engine, Epic games Japan congratulating Saito for helming DQ projects did have a reason after all. Back then when Saito tweeted this I guessed (actually many Japanese gamer did) DQ11 may end up being released at PS4.

It'll probably be a smaller team but they're essentially making 2 games on the 3DS with it being 3D and 2D so they have double the work despite the advantages.

Would make efforts like this look bizarr in retrospect:

All this work and international hiring just for one title. They should at least make a FFXV sequel as a stopgap between FFVIIR and FFXVI.
Who knows, maybe Luminous will be pretty good once it's finished after FFXV's release. Not that they couldn't just transfer shader- and lighting-tech to UE4, but that would be a lot of work, too, especially in regards to more specific systems like their streaming-tech for FFXV's open-world which wouldn't be quite as trivial to move over to UE4, I assume.
Last year they still were saying that FFXV wouldn't be the only game using Luminous.
"Currently, the FFXV development team and the Luminous Studio engine development team are working as one on FFXV. At the current stage, I cant speak concretely about titles in development using Luminous Studio besides FFXV, but I can firmly say that it isnt an engine build solely for FFXV."

I was just thinking. There are two versions; home console and handheld. Why would nintendo release another handle version if its already available on 3DS (going to be ). my guess is that the NX will be like the Ps4 version. So does that mean the NX will take over as the next home console.
This is what Im thinking. The WiiUs been out for about 3/4 years I believe. kinda short life.
I have no clue, What do you guys think?

Tech demos mean nothing in the end if that technology can't run well on actual hardware.

What's the second Tales of game coming to PS4? I only saw one?
Also, any updates on Sony's new "First on PS" line? Is this referencing NX/PC/X1? So confusing.
Also, planning to get a 3DS like next week, should I go for the new version, like is the screen quality better or anything, don't care at all about 3D effect. not sure about my WiiU at black Friday now, NX might be B/c with it.

One thing's for sure, it definitely means Wii U is not set to take over as the next home console
NX takes over for both.

The Wii U is buried under a pile of forgotten Vitas, Nintendo are doing the wise thing and dumping the lighter fluid on it as fast as they can
