It’s been a busy week in terms of Project DIVA news, with the release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X yesterday and the reveal of its first PS4 screenshots, a multitude of discount announcements for the Project DIVA games in both the US and EU, and new information regarding Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone on PS4. The latter now got a couple more screenshots, which you can view below.
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).
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 have released a new commercial for the upcoming release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X in Japan. The game will be released on March 24th for the PlayStation Vita, with a release on PlayStation 4 scheduled for this fall. We’ve been providing regular updates for the game ever since it was announced, so if you’re looking for more information, be sure take a look at our previous Project DIVA X articles!
SEGA have posted their 8th information update article for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, revealing screenshots of the game’s “Ultimate Medley” (which we talked about earlier), which is a medley containing some of the most challenging songs that were featured in earlier Project DIVA games. Shortly before that, SEGA also released a new trailer showing footage from the game’s Cute Medley, called “Idol Sounds” (arranged by Vocaloid producer Mitchie-M).
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, SEGA has posted a short video on Twitter featuring the song “LOL -lots of laugh-” in Project DIVA X. The song was also featured in earlier Project DIVA games and more recently Project Mirai DX on the Nintendo 3DS. You can watch the video below. Unfortunately the video and more notably the audio quality leaves something to be desired, but it appears to be the only source for the video for now. Aside from that, SEGA also included Valentine Day’s Wallpaper in their latest update on the official SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Project website.
There are no separate versions of the wallpaper this time around, and interestingly the characters design uses a cell-shaded style that appears to be somewhat in between that of the Project DIVA games and Project DIVA Arcade. Perhaps this is the kind of style we can expect from the PS4 version of Project DIVA X? We’ll have to wait and see. You can find the full version of the wallpaper below, or by clicking on the featured image of this post!
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X will be released on the PS Vita in Japan on March 24, 2016 followed by a release on the PS4 in Fall 2016. There’s been no word yet regarding a release of the game for the West.
Wonder Festival 2016 Winter has come and gone, revealing plenty of new anime and video game related figures. Those of course also include figures based on SEGA and Atlus games. SEGA and the companies behind the figures have been posting their figures shown at Wonfes on their social media, and we compiled as many as possible in this article, and included links to our official source for the images. For this article, we’ll be focusing on the figures and announcements related to SEGA franchises (we’ll be making a separate article for the ones from Atlus). Fair warning: some of the figures and illustrations are rather risqué.
In an earlier article we already showed you screenshots of some of the new songs and modules that can be found in SEGA’s upcoming rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. SEGA of Japan have now released additional screenshots for the four songs and the medley featured in that article. You can view all of them below, grouped by their song!
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X is scheduled for a release on the PS Vita in Japan on March 24, 2016 followed by a release on the PS4 in Fall 2016.
