NX version still "NOT" comfirm 100%

please define

The NX itself is NOT 100% confirmed

 

[2+2=5]

I think it's like crinale said, simply: it's basically confirmed (thus, the mention in the press event), just they can't state way too much outside of that since the console hasn't even been officially announced yet. So, a bit of PR saying it's "under consideration"

Again, DQX seems to be CONFIRMED for NX, so that's not that the case.

 

[TI82]

Hype. NX is totally releasing in 2016. Zelda is totally a launch title (maybe Dragon Quest is too? Would make for a really hype launch)

How many people are going to actually buy a nintendo at launch though?

 

[The Last One]

For some reason FF15 made it's way into the TT's from twitter Japan after the DQ XI announcement lol

 

[Rymuth]

It interesting how much the reveal and the reactions show how conservative the DQ crowd is.

'Conservative' is Dragon Quest's middle name.

MY GOD ITS GLORIOUS

I WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY DQ ON MY PS4 PRAISE THE GODS THE NEW AND THE OLD

...it says NX version in there. Something about launch.

 

[Skele7on]

Why am I already worried about the NX nintendo come on make a good console PLEASE!

 

[upandaway]

For all those people wanting the retro game, look, you do it like this

Take your 3DS, cover the top screen with tape. Y'know what heck snap the top screen right off.

There you go DQXI, GBA version

They are probably obliged to not announce it formally on NX, given that not even Nintendo wants to mention anything NX lol.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Both versions look terrific. Love the retro style on the bottom screen of the 3ds version and that the ps4 version looks just as I imagined a follow up to dq8 would look.

Win win all around.

 

[Shard]

Literally everybody wins holy shit

Well, not Microsoft here.

 

[thuway]

Super excited for the PS4 version. The 3DS version looks cool, but the novelty of the 2D sprites would wear out on me eventually.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

I'll do my part.. PS4 version here.

They have wiggle room to cancel the port if the system bombs. See the announcements PS Vita and Wii U (in the west) that we never got.

 

[Nocturno999]

If NX's power is comparable to a PS4 I will get one. Zelda and DQ at launch would be insane.

 

[redblack85]

window launch?

Ah, interesting. That press release says "we are currently considering releasing DQXI on Nintendo's NX console, which is still in development". So if it does come out on NX, sounds like it will be released much later than the PS4/3DS versions, which look to be released on the same day (again, according to this press release).

Wish we could see more though, hard to get excited from an animated gif. And is that suppose to be a male or female character?

 

[BGBW]

Pay no attention to the NX behind the curtain.

 

[Nightengale]

window launch?

May 2016 to May 2017.

 

[Rodin]

Called this. Can't wait to see more of it (both versions).

Yeah, pretty much.

 

[beril]

Really happy about the 3DS version. It looks exactly like what I want a Dragon Quest to be. The PS4 version is pretty and all but I don't really like that style of gameplay/camera for DQ, but I guess it's nice that the option is there for the fans of DQVIII..... now if we could just get a localisation announcement, for both versions.....

Spoiler

they're totally going to skip the 3DS version in the west aren't they?...

 

[Kanann]

the whole situation about NX give me head spin now


but I love you both PS4 version and 3DS version <3

 

[KingBroly]

NX is actually the Cloud that Nintendo stole from Microsoft

 

[Aeana]

I added the release info to the OP.

 

[IAmRandom31]

TGS should be fun this year. FFXV, KH3, Star Ocean 5, Dragon Quest XI, ( im assuming ) L5's PS4 project, World of Final Fantasy, on and on. Greatness

Doesn't work. Look like you still need top screen for battle.

The Wii U can't run UE4 games right?

The Hardware's more than capable (dude, UE4 can run on Phones), there's just no official support. Armature Forked the UE4 codebase to help port Bloodstained:Ritual of the Night, and they've already said they'll publically release the code so other devs can use it (since UE4 is technically open source now).

And While we don't know if NX is going to be as powerful as the PS4 or whatnot (though I think it will be), it's going to definitely be more powerful than the Wii U, so there's no worries there.

All I'm hoping for is a localisation and Euro/AUS release. Haven't played a DQ game since 8. Gimmie, Squeenix.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

You can see more right here.

 

[terrier]

We already know that the NX isn't a hybrid, Iwata made that pretty clear before he died. Though you aren't far off-base, as he also alluded towards the NX being more of a platform with both console & handheld variants.

oh thanks, i do not follow nintendo very much. Then could be like a 'PC', depending on hw you could makes game look better or worse (two settings, handheld and home console for example). I guess that way the PS4 version would make more sense because of the secondary screen on the 3DS , and to give Nintendo fans a reason to buy NX hardware by offering a 'different' game that the one they already could buy on 3DS

Male. You can rewatch the conference on YouTube.

[sublimit]

I can't even describe how happy i'm right now.DQXI for PS4 seems to be like the DQ game of my dreams.It simply looks incredible and looks like a true successor of DQVIII (one of my favorite games of all time).
3DS version also looks pretty good and to be honest it looks like a completely different and independent game from the PS4 version.If it comes in the west i think i'd buy it too since it will give me a very different experience.

But i really think that the importance of DQXI being on PS4 goes way beyond SE's interests and it will pave the road for more (relatively) ambitious JRPGs to come from other Japanese publishers on the system.This gen looks like it will be the renaissance of home console JRPGs and i'm beyond happy for that!

FC: The 3DS is powerful, and we are able to run the Unreal engine on this console, which is pretty impressive for a handheld machine, and the 3D doesn’t affect the performance (thanks to my amazing programmers). The architecture is different compared to a Wii or some other platforms that we had to work with here at Ubisoft Montreal.

Obviously it can't run Unreal 4, but if they can get the 3DS running an older (modified) version of Unreal, I can see Enix being able to move a lot of assets and code around between the two games.

 

[KORNdoggy]

DQ back on playstation like the good old days. life is good.

 

[Porcile]

The footage of the PS4 looks good, but right now it's suffering from Zelda Wii U syndrome. There's a pretty world but no evidence of there being a game inside of it yet. I personally think that's going to slip to 2017 and we'll get the 3DS game 2016.

 

[kulapik]

What does tentative mean? That NX is not the final name (thing we know) or that it might not release there?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Thanks, watching now. Didn't see that in the OP, this came on when it was like 4 am or something for me. Not losing sleep for this, even tho I love dragon quest.

 

[TI82]

What does tentative mean? That NX is not the final name (thing we know) or that it might not release there?

It means they can cancel the NX version if the system bombs

 

[Ravage]

The PS4 environments look gorgeous.

 

[Interceptor]

How many people are going to actually buy a nintendo at launch though?

Everyone should. Only console you know always what you get. Everytime.

 

[KingBroly]

What does tentative mean? That NX is not the final name (thing we know) or that it might not release there?

They said it was, but they're backtracking most likely because NX is not officially a thing yet.

 

[Aaronrules380]

What does tentative mean? That NX is not the final name (thing we know) or that it might not release there?

Most likely it means it's going to be there, but they can't be super specific or anything because it still hasn't been officially announced

 

[Meffer]

Wow, this awesome! I might get all three versions.

 

[Son Of D]

What does tentative mean? That NX is not the final name (thing we know) or that it might not release there?

Not 100% confirmed. Whether because they're waiting for NX sales or because Nintendo hasn't talked about the NX other than the name.

 

[orioto]

Hooo unconfirmed hmmm.
So i would guess, they vapor announced it, but they don't really know much about the NX themselves at this point

 

[Neoxon]

What does tentative mean? That NX is not the final name (thing we know) or that it might not release there?

Most likely that the name isn't final. They wouldn't mention the NX at all if it wasn't gonna come out on the system(s).

 

[Kyou]

They said it was, but they're backtracking most likely because NX is not officially a thing yet.

it seems like horii went rogue again and SE is having to clean up

 

[Aaronrules380]

NX isn't even the name, it's just a code name similar to revolution being the Wii
