Xanadu NEXT, Little King's Story, Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus Head to PC in the West
- Thread starter Shizuka
- Start date
Oh yeah, that Senran Kagura guy did say he wantes to bring the series to PC. He stayed true to his word.
I think it has potential to do very good, since the fans seem passionate.
I wouldn't get worried for the PC port of Little King's Story yet. It's a WIP.
The screens show a proper resolution support but hasn't added a lot of visual effects yet.

I'll definitely be picking up Little King's Story and Xanadu Next. I was really looking forward to some news on Tokyo Xanadu, though. :\

Little Kings Story being the Wii version and not the Vita port is proof that God exists.

Grundle: The Awakening
Me too.
There might be some other stuff later but who knows.
What the fuck

That's... pretty bad.
Weeeell... I hope the final game will look better than that. Otherwise there's no reason for me to buy an additional version of LKS - those screenshots truly are quite ugly.

Yeah, that Little King's Story port is disgusting. Here's what it looked like on Wii:
And on PC, again:
PC version is missing the shadows, the lighting, the bloom and the depth of field, which were there intentionally on Wii to give the game a warm, soft and fuzzy feel, especially as the day/night cycle went by.

The game is incredible but yeah, that's just bad if it will look like this.
It looks lovely on Dolphin:

I'm not sure why people get so hung up on embargoes for press events, it's pretty a standard and reasonable restriction.
It obviously will.

Of course it will change. Unless you believe they'll ship a game with unanimated models.

Love PC gaming, but it's two ports of games that I don't particularly want to play and an English localization of a game that's over a decade old and doesn't look very good in screenshots. I mean, I'm willing to check out reviews when Xanadu Next comes out since some people here are saying it's good, but yeah, I'm disappointed.

I would think, but why show this in the first place?

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Good to see Xanadu NEXT is making its way to the West!
Standard, yes. Reasonable, I don't at all see how.
I'm not particularly bothered by the embargo but if there's one, you better have something worth embargoing, like new stuff.

This is awesome news. Xanadu and SK on PC sounds good to me! Dunno anything about Little King's Story, though.
No Trails news at all? Specifically nothing about SC? Wtf

Did you somehow not play it on Wii or Vita?

Depends on who's doing the port. Idle speculation: I wouldn't be at all be surprised if it turns out to be Tamsoft themselves, and they're porting it alongside Neptunia U. Conveniently enough, Idea Factory International has a press event of their own next week, so if they announce a NepU port, that's probably what happened.

It gives people time to write a story instead of rushing out of the event to put it up first. It works for everyone except impatient people on the internet that can't wait a day.
It will change, though. It comes out in 2016.
I wonder if Xanadu is a new translation or if they bought the existing one like I've heard they've done before. Regardless, I'm excited to finally buy that game and play it through steam. Such a great game.
I wish there'd been some TitS news, but it'll come when it comes at this point, I guess. If I had to guess I'd imagine they're just finishing the whole thing now and dropping the rest of the series at once in a bundle package or something.

I played it on both. Wii version is a stone cold classic, Vita version is horseballs.
I'd do anything for it remastered.

Hopes... deleted?
Yes... it gives people time to write a story, like N-Gage's Xanadu Next Coming to PC Next Year. The way it's written makes it sound like they think it was on N-Gage first and ported to PC later. They had all that time to do research.

Well I didn't claim the time would always be used well. Lazy reporting will remain lazy reporting. It still doesn't make event embargoes something to be outraged about.

I'm in two minds about LKS, it's nice that it's being rereleased, but at the same time XSEED doing it because they have the rights probably isn't the best thing for its exposure in terms of it reaching a new audience. With the retail market gone for this kind of game (Rising Star Games spearheaded its EU launch back in 2009) I'm not sure anyone who doesn't already follow XSEED's stuff will bother checking this out.
And with the original developers obviously not being around anymore or having any connection with this port, I do worry whether the button remapping/mouse/keyboard controls will be handled well. Luckily the original visuals scale up well to HD resolutions, or at least as they appear on Wii, not the flat, featureless PC port in its current state.
I guess it's better than the somewhat cynical reimagining Marvelous JP commissioned on the Vita -- if any platform should have got a port of the original that would have been a good start!

Remind me that I stuck in the Last dungeon of Xanadu Next twice...because of HD failure and magic*! save lost.
XN is a great game for anyone who likes dungeons and ARPGs, give it a try!

PC is a really good platform for this. Not sure what you're going on about. Plenty of niche titles got good sales and following on PC. I would argue that it gains more of a new life on PC than on Vita. It IS a good start, lol.
And probably 60FPS
Hopefully.
