Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is localized and coming in 2016 on PlayStation 4 and digitally on the PlayStation Vita!
Set in the near future, the line between the real and digital worlds is blurred. Logging into cyberspace is part of everyday life. For one teenager, a harmless on-line chat spawns a chance encounter with a mysterious hacker. Little did this teen know, this brief meeting would lead to a digi-monumental adventure.
It came out on the Vita first, although for probably for cheaper localization reasons, its digital only on Vita, I'm definitely getting it on Vita to satisfy that Mons game itch, as Pokemon is cute and all, but I'd like something fresh for a change.Avatar_Crim wrote:This is another reason why I should get a Playstation 4, and because I want those One Piece games lol.
vita really doesn't interest me all that much, but I have a feeling it is due to all the 3ds. I do get wanting something fresh, which is why for me the game actually looks rather fun lol.

Well a lot of the names of Digimon and their attacks are already censored(or at least changed) in English. However aside from the names I think the localization shall be fine. The games usually do not get messed with. Has a Cero B rating which is like a E10 ESRB.Kaori wrote:http://nichegamer.com/2015/09/new-digim ... mes-story/
A trailer with an english voiceover? While a dub sounds good, I kinda wonder if they might end up bowdlerising it since they said this was a localization.
I don't know Zaseo, the recent Digimon games have been leaning to more mature audiences lately.zaseo wrote:Well a lot of the names of Digimon and their attacks are already censored(or at least changed) in English.

Well if anything they could just give it a T rating.Kaori wrote:I don't know Zaseo, the recent Digimon games have been leaning to more mature audiences lately.zaseo wrote:Well a lot of the names of Digimon and their attacks are already censored(or at least changed) in English.

Yeah, I noticed they have been turning from Pokemon Expy to SMT Expy:zaseo wrote:Well if anything they could just give it a T rating.Kaori wrote:I don't know Zaseo, the recent Digimon games have been leaning to more mature audiences lately.zaseo wrote:Well a lot of the names of Digimon and their attacks are already censored(or at least changed) in English.

The recent Digimon games(all did not get localized) have been getting better. For a little while some of the Digimon games were really medicore if not bad. 240 Digimon playable and there are not too many recolor/pallet swaps. Some I feel some are kind of pointless but others make sense and vary in skills. Wargreymon and Black Wargreymon would vary mainly in attributes and have some different skills. MetalGreymon (Vaccine) and MetalGreymon (Virus) seems pointless to have. I know stats/attributes matter but its like you might as well have that MetalGreymon(virus) be SkullGreymon) instead.
All I know is that digimon grew up with its fanbase, I asked a friend about your question and he should give me an answer as soon as he's available.Falions wrote:I wonder if the PS4 version is worth getting, since it is essentially a Vita port...
How do Digimon games fare nowadays? I was mildly invested in the series as a kid, and I miss it.
The Digimon games in general are much better these days. The thing that sucks is that the better games never got release in other places until now. Digimon Adventure(PSP)(Which is basically the 1st series in game format) and Digimon World Re:Digitize(PSP and later 3DS) are great Digimon games that never made it to other places.Falions wrote:I wonder if the PS4 version is worth getting, since it is essentially a Vita port...

What's the best Digimon World game? I've always been interested in those.zaseo wrote:The Digimon games in general are much better these days.

I would say that the PS1 era and early Ps2 games were good. After that the games went downhill. If they were not bad they were mediocre. Now they are good again.
My personal favorite is Digimon World 3 because you and many others are trapped in a Digimon MMO. It also has a neat card game extra you can sink hours into. Since there's a lot of walking back and forth required to progress the story, the RNG can get annoying, and how where to go next is a mystery almost all of the time, I'd highly suggest a walkthrough if you have any desire to play it since all of the stuff I mentioned earlier can test your patience. Despite my deep love for the game, I have only managed to play through it fully one time.Falions wrote: What's the best Digimon World game? I've always been interested in those.
You won me with the concept of Digimon World 3 (I mean, we are on a .hack forum after all) but the latter sounds... kind of aggravating. I don't mind exploring if it rewards me (for example, like Dark Souls or SMT Nocturne) but if it's frustrating....Vide wrote:My personal favorite is Digimon World 3 because you and many others are trapped in a Digimon MMO.

Digimon World 4 is great as a multiplayer if you can play it with friends or you like hack-and-slash. I've put more hours into this game than any other Digimon game though, but only because of the awesome 4-player multiplayer. It's also the only game where I've liked grinding.
Digimon World 1 (2 as well I think? May be wrong on this) are Digimon raising simulations, which I wasn't too keen on. If you like cleaning up poop, feeding your Digimon every few minutes, and having little control over how they battle, while repeating this over and over with dozens of Digimon, these would be perfect for you. >D It's a bit more fun than it sounds, but I'm not biased on the first game like the other two soooo.... Like zaseo, the newer Digimon World games for PSP and later seem to have greatly improved the games and I'm interested to try them out, though.
Depends on what you like.Falions wrote:What's the best Digimon World game? I've always been interested in those.zaseo wrote:The Digimon games in general are much better these days.

There's little extra incentive to explore beyond the story because the game forces you to explore EVERYWHERE in an effort to progress. Exploring soon goes from a rewarding adventure to "I NEED to know my surroundings and keep these places in mind, as well as all of the NPCs because I definitely will have to return/go here." Since there's so much backtracking, it's almost rewarding you to not explore further than necessary...but since you usually have no clue where your destination is, you're basically checking everywhere anyways. TL;DR: The reward for exploring is you get to continue with the plot. However, the game is fun enough to not only make up for this complaint, but also make me see it as the best Digimon game pre-PSP (as I have yet to play anything after).Falions wrote: You won me with the concept of Digimon World 3 (I mean, we are on a .hack forum after all) but the latter sounds... kind of aggravating.

Also, is 4 sorta like Monster Hunter?
