so its just wii then? unless dev time for a ps3 release was too expensive of a move or this is a stupid move considering the state of ps3/wii in japan

either way I just joined so any new game announcements or is it just DQX?


How so?  The Wii has around twice the userbase of the PS3 in Japan.  Just because 2011 looks like being the first year the PS3 will have outsold the Wii in Japan doesn't mean that the PS3 has overtaken the Wii.  SE will be looking to shift at least 3.5m units of this game there - the Wii has a much better track record of selling games in those kind of numbers in Japan than the other current home consoles. 


for a second there I almost went into a detail reply but then realized it will derail this thread. Let's keep it for another instance shall we. All I will say is the size of the overall userbase is not the only factor to consider. but yea let's leave that one for a later discussion

Because I think it is being worked on now. They will show it within due time. 



 

So the game is WKC inspired? Hino strikes again.

14:46: Next Hori announces a bit of possible 3DS compatibility. They're thinking about something where you can transfer your character to your 3DS for Spot Pass transfers with other players.

14:46: The staff is working to make DQX graphically superior on Wii U. The Wii and Wii U versions will be played in the same world, though -- they will be crossplatform.

14:45: They just announced Dragon Quest X for Wii U!

14:45: Next, a surprise!

14:44: The hosts ask for a development status update. The producer just gives a generic bit about how they're working hard on the game, and so forth.

14:44: The video of the play session ends.

14:42: When you're not playing, you can let your character be used by other players in their parties.

14:41: This time, he has a new weapon and upped his skill points. He and his new party of two other NPCs face off agains the Golem. Other players who are in your area as you fight appear translucent and show their support for you.

14:40: The music playing in the background as he plays is all new DQX music from Sugiyama.

14:40: He's going to try the Golem battle that he lost in the previous clip. This time, he's going to use a new weapon.

14:39: You can also create your own home. Your friends can come visit.

14:39: You can create weapons that are used by other people. If your weapon is used by many, your status/name will rise.

14:38: Now they're introducing a section called "life in the Dragon Quest X world." You can take things like weapon and accessory maker jobs.

14:37: Players can help other players who've fallen.

14:35: You can see other players fighting in the world. This looks MMORPGish. I don't think they've said how many people can exist in the same world though.

14:34: He's adventuring with an NPC that he selected himself. The characters have job and race (the five races from the title -- dwarves, elfs, etc...).

14:34: Like past DQ games, you go to the pub to assemble a party.

14:33: The game screen is being kept simple and clean, Fujisawa says.

14:33: You can create your own character.

14:33: They're showing a play demo that was filmed earlier.

14:32: Director Jin Fujisawa takes the stage to show the game.

14:30: The next theme is things that may relieve those worried about online games. You'll be able to logout easily, for instance. You won't have to play with others -- the game can be cleared 100% on your own, using NPC characters. The commands will be familiar.

14:30 (Season means things like New Years, Halloween, etc... not seasons like Fall, Winter).

14:29: There will be various events with every season.

14:28: The game will also have added quests post release -- like in Dragon Quest IX. It will be at the same pace or even faster pace that DQIX's. Some of the quests will span multiple volumes.

14:27: They'll have a job change system. They won't announce the name of the system today. After release, there will be additional jobs.

14:27: Next a concept: "The joy of being able to play forever."

14:27: He's not sharing details on the story -- just showing artwork and telling players to imagine from there.
