Hatsune Miku Project Diva X releases August 30th in NA on Vita/PS4
- Thread starter oldmario
- Start date
Aaaannnnd nothing announced by Sega Europe. This is an interesting new trend of us getting completely fucked over.
Although, I imported Diva X from Japan and quite honestly, the song selection, lack of story based MV's and single player progression are really pretty bad in comparison to the other two recent Diva games. Although the Mitchie M. medley is pretty dope.
... I'll probably still buy the PS4 version.

Also has a pouch for preorders and launch day copies and PSVR support will be patched in after PSVR releases.

AWESOME! I'll definitely buy a PS4 for this.
Did they ever talk again about the Future Tone arcade port? I felt that we would have gotten that before this.

Release date nailed down and still nothing for Europe. I think that about settles it.

Miku costs $39 (on Vita).
Get it? 39 = Miku?

That's much sooner than I expected.
What does this mean?

It's been a while since we heard anything about Future Tone, or at least, I haven't seen any news. You'd have to imagine they're getting these releases out before Future Tone. Still, if FT isn't a F2P digital only release, I'd be really surprised.

It's not. It's digital only, but it's being sold in two volumes (pricing TBA) that can be combined into one big super game.
To shore up sales in Japan of the PS4 version which is coming a lot later compared to its Vita version they changed their marketing to promote it more as its HD brother. They've been uploading videos in 1080p/60fps on youtube and rebranded it as an advertisement and added that little addendum to the end of the PS4 title.
However since in America we're getting both versions at the same time, that kind of extra marketing is unnecessary.

Great news but I am a little confused. What do you mean by both versions? You mean PS4 and VITA and JP already had the VITA versions so they are marketing the PS4 one as HD?

Future Tone will be separated into two parts and will be priced:

Ah, that makes sense then.
PS4 version is called Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X HD in Japan. In America both versions are just called Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X.

I've heard that the response to Diva X has been lukewarm compared to previous games, but I'm not totally sure why. It sounded like there were complaints about the song selection and the quest mode?

- "music video" esque song visualizations are replaced with more static backgrounds that can be swapped around between songs
- 30 songs as opposed to the more normal 40, although many of them are medleys with 4-5 songs within
- quest mode can be cumbersome with the dialogue, grinding on easier difficulties, and need for setting up
- RNG for modules, presents, and accessories
I fucking loved it though like all Miku games. 100 hours in it already.

This time, NA gets the August 30 release date.
I'm constantly amazed how they go out of the way to release everything Miku-related in March or August every year.

I love Project Diva, but I really don't know if I'll be picking this up. Static stage backgrounds were a real disappointment.
What, rally?
Static is a bit harsh, they have animated components and there is a lot going on in the background. In most of them. They are on Youtube for a closer look.
What they aren't are the more story-eque music videos with various settings or prop interactions like previously seen.

Looked for it on Amazon to pre-order the Vita version but I don't see it. I guess it'll pop up soon.
Nice. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's on the fence.
The loading times are so much shorter that having no story PVs didn't matter to me after 30 hours. I'd be perfectly happy with an F and an X series coexisting, that way we could have the best of both worlds.
Songs are completely subjective, of course, but I think this has the best and most energetic track list of the series. I consistently play a majority of the tracks oin a single sitting, whereas in the older games I'd stick to 5-10 songs at the most.

I've seen the YT vids. Maybe not static per se but there's no real interaction between the backgrounds and the characters. Hence how the game lets you literally swap the backgrounds out.
It's just a huge step down from the super flashy PV's in the F games.

Hmm... This is an interesting approach. I hope to Miku we hear some news at E3.

You seem happy, rightfully so too.

Still glad I imported but love the quest structure of this game over the usual 'arcade' modes of the other Miku games. Could do with a few more songs though.

Indeed I am. That is a date that works well for me.
Not just updated graphics, more importantly 60fps. Project diva at that framerate is amazing.
I seriously doubt it -- I doubt we hear anything about Future Tone until after X launches since the differences in the available content are staggering (seriously, Future Tone has about 10x as many songs as X does).

Has there been any info about Song DLC? So far there's none afaik.
Willing to import this because SEGA Europe is like "Hatsune Mik-who?", but NA DLC on Vita is a pain. Maybe I'll just go PS4 this time then.
I hope they don't block recording/streaming because I'm looking forward to that
