Posted by Zidane007nl on 27 May 2016, 23:14 - 0 comments

Today, on the 30th anniversary of the Draqon Quest series, Square Enix has announced that they will release Dragon Quest Builders in North America and Europe this October. The game will be released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita (digital only).

In Dragon Quest Builders players will use their creativity to gather and combine a variety of unique tools and materials in order to rebuild Alefgard, a realm destroyed by the menacing ruler of the monsters, the Dragonlord.

Seems to me this game is a clone of the Minecraft and Square Enix wants to take advantage of the hipe.

Posted by Zidane007nl on 31 August 2014, 23:09 - 0 comments

At the E3 it was revealed that Final Fantasy Type-0 will get a HD version on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. During PAX an interviewer of IGN asked Hajime Tabata, director of the game, asked why it isn't coming to PlayStation Vita. Tabata's answer a bit vague, but he kept circling around to the idea of his excitement of finally being able to play through the portable game on the big screen, on new hardware, and the fact that it’ll now be able to get out to a much wider audience.

Tabata assured that Final Fantasy Type-0 will be a full retail game and that is it currently about 80% done.
