GameSpot has published a 15-minute gameplay demo of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. Some of the demoed songs include Satisfaction, LOL – lots of laugh -, and Cyber Rock Jam – Cool Medley. Since part of the song list is viewable, we can also see the localized names for certain song titles, such as “Urotander Underhanded Rangers”.

This is meant to serve as an overview of what makes this game representative of the Project DIVA series in general, and also what makes this title different from previous entries, with such features as the new “Rush” mechanic where you mash the button as its prompted by the game. We should all be familiar by now with some of this game’s differences, including module collecting and equipping, and the new, conceptualized “story mode” of sorts known as the Live Quest mode, with character interactions and categorized song types.

Check out the video below! The demoed version of the game is the English version. Hopefully it may tide North American gamers over until its August 30th release date.

IGN conducted a short interview with Sam Mullen (listed as Atlus Producer) regarding Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. It focuses largely on the new module-gathering system for the game relative to other entries in the Project DIVA series. Whereas in the past modules were acquired simply by spending the requisite amount of points, in the Project DIVA X modules are acquired via successfully completing Chance Time in a song, at which point players will receive a randomly-generated module.

It is stated that the awarded module can be affected by existing bonus attributes of currently equipped modules. Project DIVA X features more than 300 modules, including those from all previous Project DIVA games and new ones introduced for Project DIVA X. Better prepare yourself for Chance time!

LOL – lots of laugh – is featured in the background. Check out the interview below:
