Earlier on we talked about the new DLC for Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition, featuring Ako and Lucian from the light novel “Netoge no Yome wa Onna no Ko Janai to Omotta?”. SEGA have now made the DLC available on the Japanese PlayStation store for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, at the price of 800 yen. You can watch the release trailer below.

While the original Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax was localized for the West, it’s not clear at this point if SEGA intends to do the same for Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition.

Today, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X was released in Japan for the PlayStation Vita. At the same time, SEGA have revealed the first 1080P screenshots for the PS4 version of the game, giving us a good look at the technical upgrade! As expected, the game will also run at 60fps. Aside from an increase in resolution, the PS4 version will feature improved textures and lighting. The screenshot for Tsumi no Namai below shows the increased texture resolution in the background, as well as a lot more detail on the flying lilies. It’s a nice visual upgrade, and it’ll be interesting to see how well it compares to the upcoming PS4 version of Project DIVA Arcade (which is also running in 1080P/60fps).

In one of our earlier articles we reported that various SEGA games are currently being discounted during Sony’s Easter Sales on the EU PlayStation Store. Now, the US PlayStation Store is getting a range of discounts of its own. Like in the EU sales, these include Yakuza 5 and the Project DIVA F games (although unlike in the EU, Project Diva f on the PS Vita isn’t being discounted).

SEGA Reveals Gameplay Footage of Project DIVA X’s “Ultimate Medley” on Extreme Difficulty

Draikin March 23, 2016 Leave a reply

SEGA of Japan have posted a video showing a complete playthrough of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X‘s most difficult medley (on the game’s Extreme difficulty), which you can watch below. We talked about the medley in one of our earlier articles. With no less than 1047 notes and a combination of the most difficult songs in the game, the medley is certain to give even veteran players a challenge. I only ever completed a dozen songs on Extreme in Project DIVA F 2nd, so it’s unlikely I’ll manage to complete this song on Extreme, let alone get a Perfect for it. But does it actually look challenging enough for the Project DIVA experts out there? Let us know what you think about the medley in the comments!

SEGA of America have unveiled the full version of their Valkyria Chronicles Remastered website, which you can visit here. The website now offers details on the game’s “CANVAS” graphics engine and the “BLiTZ” battle system. an overview of the game’s story, its world and the main characters and a look at the gameplay. Lastly, there’s information on where to pre-order the game in the Americas, as well as the special edition being released there. However, the website doesn’t contain information on the EU version of the game, which I find rather odd, given that this is evidently also the official website of the game for EU gamers. For comparison purposes, you can find a backup of the original Valkyria Chronicles website here.
