Footage of the 3DS Version from the Stream

 

[sixteen-bit]

Dem platforms.


Rumor was true.

 

[wonzo]

lmao

 

[Jpop]

So happy.


All the shit I got for saying PS4/3 and 3DS was the most logical choice has not been in vain.

 

[pinkurocket]

The logo did look 3DS-ish!

 

[Man]

Cross-cross-gen!

License-to-print-money(tm).

 

[miku]

WOW

 

[def sim]

I thought it was going to be mac exclusive.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

3DS was entirely expected, they're not giving up that vast userbase. Happy about this, will get to play it on the move.

Cue salt that the 3DS version will limit the PS4 scope.

 

[JordanKZ]

3DS and PS4? Wat.

 

[YianGaruga]

how

 

[cws]

Perfect choice.

But lets see the game now.

 

[Sayad]

Cross-cross-gen!

Different builds probably.

 

[Thoraxes]

Getting both versions!

At least it makes sense. There's no way they could make a PS4 exclusive game in Japan and expect them to get their returns.

 

[jman2050]

Well this is... confusing.

 

[ponpo]

Is it going to be exclusive to "new" 3DS?

 

[Abylim]

Wohoo! Hope they dress up the ps4 version a bit, but I'm so happy to have it!

 

[piccio_ssl]

so just like ni no kuni
I'M OK WITH THIS

 

[xzeldax3]

The logo did look 3DS-ish!

3DS resolution on PS4, best of both worlds

 

[otaku-asia]

What a funny combination. Really glad it's coming to PS4 though...

 

[Vanille]

So why no PS3?

 

[LuuKyK]

Well I (and a lot of people) guessed right. It was the decision that made more sense for a worldwide push of the game.

 

[orochi91]

PS4 version will most likely be released in the west.

No clue about 3DS localization.

 

[phoenix3934]

What? How is that possible?

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Huh

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I wonder how different the game is going to be on both machines.

 

[Nightbird]

how

3DS was entirely expected, they're not giving up that vast userbase.

.

 

[RagnarokX]

Cross-cross-gen!

PS4 and 3DS are both gen 8

 

[Loudninja]

Soo many rpgs.

 

[kamakazi5]

Honestly makes more sense than any other combination.

 

[Arcatax]

HYPE!!!! Dis gon' be gud.

 

[kubus]

edit: nevermind, brainfart

 

[ponpo]

3DS lead platform and PS4 version will look all pixely like Builders.

Con. Firmed.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Wonder if the 3ds ver comes out in the west.

Still waiting of DQ7 :/

 

[KingBroly]

Is it 3DS or New 3DS? I'm getting conflicting info.

 

[hamchan]

Everybody wins

 

[Seanspeed]

And people complain about XB1 draggin the PS4 down.....

Any precedent for this? Seems like they'd almost have to do two fairly different builds.

 

[dc89]

RIP Vita.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Is it going to be exclusive to "new" 3DS?

And ignore the massive userbase?

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Unreal Engine 4.

 

[LouisaFerre]

Did he just say Unreal Engine 4?

EDIT: Well I guess no one should have to worry about the PS4 version being held back graphically. Might be better this way than if it was PS4/PS3.

 

[piccio_ssl]

UNREAL ENGINE 4

2 different versions, like Ni no Kuni is the most likely scenario, which was DS and PS3.

Both Toy Logic and Orca are involved it seems.

 

[redmetal86]

RIP Vita.

Remote play?

 

[Semajer]

This always seemed like the logical choice to me.

 

[sixteen-bit]

The 3DS image... It's definitely a New 3DS but why are the buttons all white and not colored?

Spoiler

Incoming New 3DS for NA with nerfed buttons announcement?

That's an N3DS XL.

That's a new 3ds xl, the buttons look like that.

Not if they don't bring the 3DS version out in the West they don't.

 

[Forearm Star]

I'm okay with this..

Smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U should be pretty comparable.
