Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X Release Date Set for August 30 in the Americas!

Draikin April 29, 2016 Leave a reply

SEGA of America has revealed the release date for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X in the Americas! The game will be released on August 30 for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. The PlayStation 4 version will cost $49.99/CA$64.99, and the PlayStation Vita version $39.99/CA$54.99. While the Japanese PS4 version was labeled as an “HD” version in its name, in the Americas both versions of the game will simply be called Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. You can view a new English trailer below, showing new PS4 footage that hasn’t even been shown for the Japanese version of the game. Clearly, it seems SEGA is really aiming for the market overseas with the PS4 version, with a release date in the Americas only five days after the release of the PS4 version in Japan. This makes is all the more unfortunate, and almost incomprehensible from a marketing standpoint, that a European version hasn’t even been announced.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir: English Oswald Trailer

Promotional trailers for Oswald from Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir hit the web not too long ago. Be sure to watch it below (uploaded to the PlayStation YouTube channel) if you haven’t gotten the chance. Oswald’s path tells the story of a talented dragon-slayer whose journey intersects with powerful dark forces after he is betrayed by his adoptive father. However his destiny also comes to overlap with the heroine Gwendolyn.

If you remember, NISAmerica is handling the publishing of Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir in Europe, and this game may quite possibly the last Atlus title they work on, so far as we know. In any case, I’d like to bring to our readers’ attention the fact there are French, Italian, German, and Spanish-subtitled versions of the Oswald character trailer on NISAmerica’s YouTube channel. It’s an interesting thing to be aware of!

“Racing Miku 2016” DLC Module Added to Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X

Draikin April 21, 2016 Leave a reply

SEGA of Japan made a bit of a surprise announcement today, as it revealed that a new “Racing Miku 2016 Ver.” module, based on Good Smile’s latest Racing Miku 2016 costume design, will be added as paid DLC to Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. The module will cost 300 yen (tax not included) and will be available on the Japanese PlayStation Network on April 28. The announcement is surprising since the last “Racing Miku” module to be added to a Project DIVA game was the 2012 version. Since then, none of the yearly Racing Miku designs (2013 to 2015) were added to the Project DIVA games. Take a look at the 3 screenshots provided by SEGA of Japan below! Hopefully, the module will also make its way to the West when the game is released in the Americas later this Fall.

Sony Denies Claims That the PlayStation Vita Has Been Discontinued in the Benelux

Draikin April 17, 2016 Leave a reply

Last week, the Dutch website Tweakers.net posted an article claiming that Sony had stopped selling the PlayStation Vita in the Benelux (an economic union comprising three neighboring countries in Europe, namely Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg). The information seemed credible, as the website contacted two major online retailers in the region, one of which outright confirmed they would not be selling the PlayStation Vita anymore, and the other stating they no longer had the handheld in stock, and would not be getting more in the foreseeable future. The website tried to contact Sony, but only got to hear from a spokesperson that they had “nothing to report” regarding the PlayStation Vita, and that they would not be making any further commentary.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir: Storybook Trailer (EU - English)

Watch this video on YouTube

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is a 2D sidescrolling action RPG, steeped in Norse mythology or a Wagnerian opera. The new game is a complete HD remake of the original PS2 classic Odin Sphere from Vanillaware, the team behind the hit side-scrolling action game Dragon’s Crown and Muramasa: The Demon Blade.
The kingdom of Valentine was the most powerful country on the continent of Erion. Its people thrived using the magical power of the Crystallization Cauldron, but it was destroyed in one fateful night. And so, a war over the now master-less Cauldron has begun, involving all the nations of the land and growing more intense by the day. Is the End near, as the Prophecy states?

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X Screenshot Comparison: PlayStation Vita vs. PlayStation 4

Draikin April 12, 2016 Leave a reply

SEGA of Japan recently revealed the first screenshots from the PlayStation 4 version of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, and we thought it might be a good idea to compare them to their counterparts from the game’s PlayStation Vita version. To accomplish this, I captured screenshots from the PlayStation Vita version and upscaled them to 1080P, in order to compare them to the 1080P PS4 screenshots released earlier. As a result, the screenshots posted below from the PS Vita version aren’t really representative of the game’s graphical quality when you actually see it running on the PS Vita’s small, but high-quality, screen. Nonetheless, the game still looks decent when running on a Full HD TV. But given that the PS4 is a much more powerful system, we should expect a significant upgrade. So without further ado, on to the comparisons!

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X Remains in Top Ten in the Latest Media Create Sales Chart

Draikin April 8, 2016 Leave a reply

4gamer.net have posted the latest Media Create sales chart for the week running from March 28 to April 3, which shows Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X dropping from its third place in its first week to ninth place. The game sold an additional 10,073 copies, bringing the total to 79,511. For reference, the PlayStation Vita version of Project DIVA F 2nd sold 16,111 copies in its second week (totaling 114,738 copies at the time). So it doesn’t seem like Project DIVA X will be recovering from its slow start. That said, the real test for the franchise will likely be the release of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X and Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone on PlayStation 4, as well as the release of Project DIVA X in the Americas.
