SEGA of Japan has released 32 new screenshots for the upcoming PS4 release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X (known as Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X HD in Japan). Below you can find some screenshots of the previously announced DLC songs “Sharing the World” and “Hand in Hand”. Both of these songs will be included for free with the PlayStation 4 version of the game, but will cost 500 yen (excluding tax) for the PlayStation Vita versions. Read on for more details!
Atlus held a Japanese Niconico live stream during E3, where they had a live gameplay demo, and showed videos of the new party member and cooperation characters. While most of the presentation is in Japanese, some parts are also in English, as they interviewed the fans present at E3 2016. You can take a look at the video below!
AtlusUSA has published the next team trailer for The King of Fighters XIV. This week’s clip features the Villains Team, full of unsavory persons. Xanadu, the one with the most bizarre outfit is a new character. His personality and attacks are also quite outlandish.
…blue facial hair, and ponytail beard? That’s intense.
Atlus has uploaded a promotional trailer for The King of Fighters XIV, in line with its presence at E3 2016. At E3 2016, KOF XIV has had player exhibitions available for periods of time each day so far in order for newcomers to get a taste for the game. And perhaps…for players to stomp on their opponents.
Additionally, HORI is producing a line of The King of Fighters XIV arcade sticks for the PlayStation 4. ArcadeShock is running their own preorder promotion, priced at $159.99 at this page. Very early preorders (the first 40) will be eligible to receive a KOF XII plastic folder and a KOF XIII soundtrack disc. These items were not made commercially available at the time of KOF XII and KOF XIII’s release. It’s worth noting that while US-based, ArcadeShock ships items worldwide.
The arcade stick will also be available through other sellers, of course. This Download3K article also provides some technical specifications of the arcade stick, a segment of which I will quote:
According to the technical characteristics, the keys are 1,4 mm thinner than the normal ones, reducing the press motion by 0,3 mm. Furthermore, the controller will have a touch pad on back, programmable actions, L1, L2 and auto fire buttons with frequencies 5, 12 and 20 times per second. Features such as lightbar, sixaxis support, vibration, motion sensors, speakers or headphone jack will not exist.
With that said, view the trailer below! The King of Fighters XIV releases in North America, Japan, and Europe on August 23rd, 25th, and 26th, respectively.
It’s Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X‘s turn to get an E3 2016 trailer! The trailer gives us a quick overview of some of the game’s main features, including the new and classic songs, medleys, unlockable modules, and side activities. The game will be released on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on August 30th, 2016 in the Americas. No news for Europe yet, although recent information suggests it’s likely underway. Preorder copies will receive a free Hatsune Miku pouch. You can find the trailer below!
Atlus has published a four-and-a-half minute long promotional trailer for Persona 5, for use with E3 2016. As with the media we’ve seen recently for the game at E3 2016, this features English subtitles with Japanese voicework.
In related news, John Hardin of Atlus PR maintains that Japanese voice tracks for the characters as DLC is being explored as an option for its Western release, but also suggests that it is not a guaranteed outcome and will not be easy to secure. We’ll keep you posted on any additional news.
Watch the trailer below! And feel free to leave us comments on the newly-released gaming media, or thoughts surrounding the release of these games.
Haven’t had enough Yakuza 0 Media? Sega of America have uploaded a promotional trailer to their YouTube account for Yakuza 0, to celebrate its appearance at E3 2016. It’s relatively short, and it’s nothing new, but it’s one of those things that are helpful to watch when there’s downtime. Especially if it’s being shown around the convention itself, competing with the dozens of games vying for attention on the floor.
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.
Today was a momentous day for the Yakuza franchise. Yakuza 0 made its presence known at E3 2016, and we can hope to see more of the franchise in gaming conventions across the West in the future.
The YakuzaFan tumblr account was able to capture today’s segment of the PlayStation LiveCast that featured an interview with Yakuza series producer and SEGA’s Chief Creative Officer Toshihiro Nagoshi, and Atlus Producer Sam Mullen. It’s nice that Nagoshi could be involved with the interview via Sam’s prompting.
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:
