Disgaea with only on PS4 possible graphics?

3-4-54034d ago

uhh I was hoping for this eventually.

* I guess this means we get DD2 for Vita, and D5 + DLC will be on the next Sony Handheld, if there is one.

* More incentive for me to get a PS4 eventually though.

XanderZane4034d ago

It's always been on Playstation systems, so I'm not sure what the big deal is. I've never seen it on any other platform, but Playstation and their handhelds. What needs to be explained?

amiga-man4034d ago

They are explaining why it will be exclusive to the PS4, the PS3 and Vita will not be getting this game as apparently they want to make the most of what the PS4 has to offer, for that I applaud them

XanderZane4034d ago

I understand that. Maybe PS3 or PSVita gamers may be upset by this news, but I think Sony wants those gamers to go out and get a PS4. They are going to be making a lot more games PS4 exclusive to try and draw gamers to the next-gen platform.

blackblades4034d ago

Well someone here didn't read the article, that's explains the confused commentator.

DarXyde4034d ago

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

It's about it not coming to other Sony consoles, XanderZane. Not why it isn't on XBOX One or Wii U.

XanderZane4034d ago

@blackblades & DarXyde
You guys obviously missed my point. Must have gone over your heads. My point was that it's still on a Playstation system, whether it's PS3, PSVita PSP, or PS4. It's always been exclusive for some Playstation platform. There were other Disgaea games exclusive to PS3 and PSVita as well. I don't remember the developers having to explain anything about why it was PS3 or PSVita exclusive. This has nothing to do with Wii U or XBox One. It has never been on those systems, so why would they even be talking about them?

HeartlessGamer4034d ago

Well actually the first game did get ported to the Nintendo DS

Spotie4034d ago

Geez, couldn't even be bothered to read below the title?

ziggurcat4034d ago

"It's always been on Playstation systems, so I'm not sure what the big deal is..."

the explanation is to indicate that it's on PS4 *only*, and not any of the other PS systems. you're trying to stir the pot by implying that the author is saying that the explanation is about why it's not on xbox.

XanderZane4034d ago

Hhhmm.. no. I've never mentioned the XBox One or the Wii U concerning this game. It seems you are the one trying to stir the pot. The game has always been exclusive on a Playstation platform. There were several games exclusive on the PS3, with no explanation for it not being on the PS2 or PSP. My point is that no explanation is even needed really. I can understand them explaining the new features and improvements, but no one was expecting this game to be on any other platform. If it was made for another platform, then I would actually expect an explanation from them on why.

@Spotie
I did read the article. There really didn't need to be one. It would be like Naughty Dog explaining why Uncharted 4 isn't coming to the PS3 or PSVita. Sigh.....

Muzikguy4034d ago

I'm glad it's platform exclusive. I'd like to see more games made strictly for this current gen instead of worrying about last gen too. I understand why companies do it, but come on. It's time to move on. As for cross gen games I believe the previous gen should be worth like $5-$15 less. I know I'm never going to pay $60 for a PS3 game again when the PS4 is out

Flipfito4034d ago

Xander did you read the article?

PS = RPG and Adventure Fan base

XB = Dudebro/sports fanbase

Wii = Family oriented

That pretty much says it all

zeal0us4034d ago

This is a terrible generalization for each console.

SoapShoes4034d ago

Yeah considering PS4 took a lot of Xbox and Wii fans so PS4 has a big part of every fan base.

DarXyde4034d ago

I would generalize the platforms differently:

PlayStation = variety of genres with a lot of niche/risky cult classics.

XBOX = Less risky, more tried-and-true franchises/genres, sports & shooter crowd

Nintendo = tried and true first party exclusives, great longevity, reinvents classic franchises with each generation, lacks robust third party support.

jukins4034d ago

The same dude bro sports franchises are also the top selling games on ps4 not to mention they sell more on ps4 than xb1. Bad generalization.

TwilightSparkle4034d ago

Poor vita! Let's hope the next handheld has more power. The PS is getting all the attention. I personally think the vita came out at the wrong time

He's overseen some great stuff. Hopefully they keep their identity.

TheColbertinator1245d ago

NIS is company that has survived to this day and I wish to see them continue to persevere.

jznrpg1245d ago

It doesn’t seem like a major shakeup , as the man put in the new position has many credits to his name similar to the old president .

jznrpg1245d ago

I like this company I hope it grows and creates some more great games and new IPs . Good luck to both of them in their new positions in life thanks for the games Mr Sohei Niikawa
