Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth NA Release Date Announced [Feb 2nd 2016]

As a person who never got to play a digimon game, what is the difference between the digimon story games and the digimon world series?

Digimon World has been all over the place. It used to be the name of any mainline game that came out. (1 was a virtual pet type thing, 2 and 3 were turn-based rpgs, 4 was a hack-and-slash).
Recently, they have been using it to refer to the virtual pet ala Digimon World 1 type of gameplay.

Digimon Story started on the DS (called Digimon World DS in the West). They are all turn-based JRPGs.

It's not 60fps.
?
People with the Chinese version say it is.

Do you have a professional source? Otherwise, we'll have wait and see, because he said, she said on the internet won't go anywhere.

In any case, it is obvious from gameplay and trailers that it runs at a higher frame rate, even if not 60 fps.

You sure? All the PS4 trailers I saw looked pretty butter smooth.
It was same with SAO HF, the trailers and gameplay released were 60fps. The game wasn't. They never said it is 60fps so it won't be 60fps.

It is as good as the one you got from.
 
Vita, he's not talking about upscaled resolution but assets and textures.
The game looks bad on PS4.
It's still rendering at 1080p.
I know you've been trying to convince everyone how bad it looks, but let's not spread misinformation.
We can all judge that for ourselves and surprisingly no one here has any problem with the look expect for you.

Nice Xbone launch spin.
You can render psp games at 1080p but it's not like those textures won't look like shitty upscales.
Also, I'm not trying to convince anyone, the textures are ripped straight from the Vita version and there's not even AA, it's just how it is.

Are you kidding me? The Xbox situation is completely different. The resolution of the game is 1080p and that's it. It has nothing to do with the assets.

Whatever, keep on shitposting

I was alluding to the fact that you're trying to spin positively the fact that it's 1080p when we weren't even talking about resolution.

"Hey, this game has no AF and the draw distance is shit."
"It's still rendering at 1080p."

The conversation was
"It's 1080p60"
"no its upscaled (i.e. not 1080p) and not 60fps"

how am I spinning anything by correcting that? The conversation was about rendering resolution. You brought in the textures.

Higher rendering res makes a huge difference in IQ, independent of asset quality. If you think it looks bad that's okay. But you come in every Digimon thread telling everyone how bad it looks as if that was a fact, when that's clearly a minority opinion.

The only reason Vita looks "better" to you is because its on a smaller screen. If you put the game on PSTV and PS4 next to each other, PS4 looks 100% better. That is a fact.

You were the only one that mentioned that shit. They were just talking about resolution and framerate.

I don't think anyone here but you was expecting anything better than 1080p and (maybe)60fps.

The game certainly does not look "bad" on ps4 since the game already stood out as a particularly nice looking vita game.

I never said it wasn't 1080p. I answered no to 60fps at first and added it in. Im not wrong that it's using upscaled assets.

Spinning against my post, not kunnikuman's. Well, whatever, that's not important.
I was just pointing out what he meant with "upscaled" since being 1080p was brought up as a positive against the Vita version when, in this case, is just a number and not indicative of better quality,

He was talking about that, trust me.

It does look good on a Vita at its original res and with that pixel density. When you reuse everything and stretch it to 1080p without adding anything to make up for it, it stops looking good. It doesn't look awful, I'll give you that. There are way worse looking games.

It's pretty clear that you don't understand what rendering resolution is
It's not "just a number"

You're still missing the point. The game does not benefit from running at a higher resolution when you don't translate everything else to be suitable for that resolution.

every game does benefit from higher rendering resolution. It has nothing to do with assets.

That's why everyone goes insane when PC ports are locked at 1080p. These also have a maximum asset quality, but people still want to run it in 4k

Isn't that kind of problematic considering Digimon is a kids property?

Digimon isn't really a kids property anymore, and they are totally aware of that fact.

This can't be more wrong.
All games benefit from a higher resolution. I say this as a pc gamer.

Those pc ports don't use textures ripped off a game that runs at 960x544, with 128mb of VRAM and you can also enable AA and a lot of other tweaks.

This is how it looks on PS4. The models looks aliased because you're playing on a big screen and the ppi are, well, not high since you're on a tv and the textures look like that because they're upscaled.
On a Vita, even if you don't have AA, the high(er) ppi mitigate most of it.

That still looks a lot better than the vita version.

If that screenshot is supposed to prove your point that it looks bad on PS4, than it failed miserably.
 
No it doesn't and you wouldn't say that if you looked at it running on an actual Vita instead of screenshots you're looking at on your screen.


If you have no standards, sure. Those textures are embarrassingly bad.
I mean, opinions and all that, but I really do not see what you are talking about. There is clearly an enhancement to the visuals from the higher resolution. Sure that doesn't change the origins of the textures but it's not like they are worse textures than the vita version?

I played my JP version using my Vita TV and looked just fine, I'm pretty sure the PS4 version will look even better then that so i'll be fine with however it looks.

Well, I used the Logical Fallacy Ref on the NPD thread. I guess this is a great opportunity to do it here, too, so congrats Prelude.!!

Yeah Vita games on the PSTV look actually pretty decent, it's impossible for the PS4 one to look worse

Are there any screenshots taken from the PS4 and Vita for a direct comparison? I'll view each shot on their respective device.

Keep in mind that Vita screenshots suffer from compression though.

Sorry dude. I think you're alone here.
Yeah, no. There's a defence force for everything and I jumped right into it.
They're exactly the same textures
Are you doing it on purpose? Because that's exactly why they look terrible on PS4.
I'm done here, btw. I'm just wasting my time trying to make you understand that the sky is blue and on NeoGAF you win arguments just by ridiculing the other poster, not by having a civil discussion and presenting your view on the matter.

I'll leave with this Agumon pic that I upscaled at a higher res to make it look better.

Well memed but if you think about it a little you'll see why looking at PS4 screens on a monitor is representative but it isn't for Vita screens. (hint:
ppi and compression
)
 

Both versions look great, but on a pure technical level no one can refute that the PS4 version comes out on top due to the resolution difference.
