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

The fact that it isn't dubbed cuts the budget considerably. I'll suffer through anything as long as Digimon gets localized from now on.

If you don't care about the Digimon, the DLC isn't a big deal, but monsters missing in a monster collecting game isn't insignificant.

I will stress this again since I've seen a lot of people miss this: BlackAgumon/BlackGabumon are not skins, they are two full evolution lines that lead up to Omnimon Zwart. This includes BlackWarGreymon.
.

Glad I pre-ordered!

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
This is true. :(
Still salty Burning Blood.

"Atmospheric purposes" my ass. You're just cheap. Most of the characters in Burning Blood have dub voices, it's not a matter of Funi being behind. They only have to cast three new people.

That excuse is what pisses me, it was fine the first few cases but now you'd think they would throw dub fans a bone.

I am completely new to the serie (never saw the anime nor played other games). I did played a bit of Pokémon Y but couldn't bring myself to finish it because I wasn't invested in the story.
Does Digimon have a better story or it is just the silly "I want to be the best trainer" motivation? Does all they game play rely on evolving monsters?

Way better story than Pokemon.
Yes, you will need to evolve monsters to get stronger. (Then devolve them. Then evolve them again, but this time into something different. Then devolve it again and it's a really buff baby now. Now evolve it two more times on a path you haven't tried yet to get Digimon you've only seen in the list of possibilities. Bam you just raised a beast.)

Awesome thanks! Sounds interesting! I may bite on ps4 or vita/pstv, I will have to look if there is any notable differences! (except the price)

Believes Dragon Quest is a franchise managed by Sony
Naruto is going to sell a lot more than this game.

Edit: Sorry misread. Yeah basically power houses like naruto and dbz get the budget for dubs not this one.

And tales(sometimeish?)

This game was only localized by petition, so i supposed that is reason enough to assume they are going for bottom of the barrel effort here. The PS4 version doesn't even have AA, they probably just ported it directly from the vita version and it just managed to run at 1080p 60 by default

Digimon have way better story, usually involves a crisis in both the real world and the digital world. Check out the story and gameplay trailer

God Eater Resurrection and Burst 2 are also getting dubs but I'm still of the opinion that the reasoning may be tied to the anime being localized for the west also.

With Digimon Tri coming you'd have thought they would be keen to build as much Digimon Hype in the west as possible. A dub for this game could only have helped with that.
They've already kept costs down by limiting the Vita release to digital only (In Europe at least).

How does dubbing this game help with Tri hype?

Licensing the original jpn dub may of ended up being more expensive (for God Eater specifically) than just creating their own dub.
That would explain why there is no jpn audio and just english audio.
 
I think "Story" is more like Digimon World 2, right? That one.

That said, I would likely get World for PS4 as well, if it were a thing happening. Gotta support all the endeavors!

Man, World Next Order looks so bad when compared to Story Cyber Sleuth. The frame rate dropping in the trailer doesn't help either. It looks like they just ported the 3DS engine over.

Yes, the frame rate looks particularly gross next to the awkward AI.
Playing Xenoblade 3DS, I would of loved a game that pretty much used the blueprint of its battle system -- right down to the instant transition.
 
So I have this pre ordered on PS4 but the more I think about it the more I can't justify spending $90 on it (Canadian dollar makes me sad) when I can get games that aren't just Vita ports for much, much cheaper.
Anyway, if I cancel and choose to go the much cheaper Vita route, will I miss out on anything? Is it just a straight port? Is it fully PSTV compatible? Could I essentially play through the game on my PSTV and it'll be just like the PS4 version but way cheaper? So many questions!!!

The Japanese and Chinese version were PSTV compatible, so I assume this will be. The PS4 version is at a higher resolution and frame rate, but other than that it should be pretty much the same.

you're saying it should launch for less than $60? I suppose I agree with you, but i'm just really excited to play a new digimon game after 15 years.

I think the Vita price point is more than fair (even for digital-only) but $80 + tax on PS4 for a Vita game with prettier graphics is hard for me to stomach that's all.
I'm sure the game will be awesome and worth every penny regardless!

Hey guys, I have a question for you. I'm planning to get a vita to play this game.

Should I get the OG Vita or the Slim one?

I know they made some changes to the slim one, are they worth it or not?

Slim is superior in every way except for screen. Ergonomics and battery life are in the 2000 model's favor.

Does look like the PS4 version will be technically better though.

If your not anal about screen richness then go team slim.

yeah I think you're right. i have a vita but I'd much rather play this game on my Ps4.

not sure what you mean with the $80, though. I got it preordered for 60. is it more expensive for you?
