Draikin May 1, 2015 Leave a reply

The PlayStation Japan’s official PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 pages for Persona 5 have been updated with new information and screenshots. While the screenshots have been shown before on the official website, they’re now available in a much higher resolution. It’s likely that these are still from the PS3 version, just like those on the official website, and if the resolution of the images is any indication, the PS3 version will probably run in 720P. You can take a look at the new screenshots in the gallery below. Persona 5 is scheduled for a release on the PS3 and PS4 in 2015 in Japan and North America.

The next batch of DLC for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd is now available from the PlayStation Store in the EU. However, it seems the US release has been delayed by a week (release now scheduled for the 5th of May), much like what happened to earlier EU DLC releases. That said, the EU DLC appears to be available only for the PS Vita at the moment. It’s unclear whether it will become available later today for the PS3.

Draikin April 14, 2015 1 Reply

Sega has released another batch of DLC for Project DIVA F 2nd today, and at the same time announced the rest of the DLC scheduled to be released later this month. Starting today in the US, the new Rhythm Game Songs “When First Love Ends” by ryo and “Marginal” by OSTER project are available for download for the price of $2.99. Two new costume modules have also been made available: “Powder” designed by Ichikai Hano and “Ha2une Miku” (both available individually for $1.99). If you already own the Costume Club and Song Club Season Passes, these are of course available for download at no extra cost. The DLC also seems to be available for the EU, though at the time of writing the Ha2une Miku DLC appears to be missing. UPDATE: downloading Marginal for the PS3 also doesn’t appear to be working at the moment, as the PS3 states the content can’t be downloaded.

Yakuza Zero Tops Japanese Sales Charts

Draikin March 18, 2015 Leave a reply

Yakuza Zero has taken both the first and second position in the latest Japanese sales charts in its launch week, with the PS3 version selling 145,823 copies, followed by the PS4 version which sold 90,506 copies. While this is good news, the combined total of 236,329 copies does seem rather low for a non-spinoff Yakuza game. In comparison, Yakuza 5 sold 356,757 copies in its first week on the PS3 alone.

The cause of the lower sales might be multi-fold. First of all, the console market has seen a decline in Japan due to strong competition from mobile games. The PS3 is also showing its age, but despite that, sales for the PS4 remained weak for the most part of 2014. Secondly, Yakuza Zero was still developed for PS3, which means it wasn’t optimized for the PS4. While by no means terrible, the game’s graphics look rather outdated in comparison to the PS4’s top titles. Another factor might be that the franchise is simply showing signs of franchise fatigue. Here as well, moving to PS4 exclusively might help the developers to reinvent and update the gameplay mechanics.

There have been various problems like this with the Project DIVA F 2nd DLC releases so far, but as with the previous ones, this will probably be resolved soon.
