I wanna be excited for this, but something about Y's in 3D is unappealing. You would think with the retro craze, and so many of the classics going for retail+ prices now, some of the major developers would take a chance on new stuff in 2D.

Cool - but did anything about that video seem like it couldn't have been done on PS3?  It actually looks like Vita footage if anything. 

Hoping for a localization...

It looks about right for a PS4. Gotta remember that the PS4 and Xbox1 are just PC's this time around since they use the x86 cpu's with built in gpu's from AMD. So... because of the cpu and gpu that is involved you technically could build a $300 PC that is more powerfull.

But, you only buy consoles now for exclusives imo. If they are cross platform you buy it for PC as that is always the best option for smoothness and clarity. Just slap whatever controller you prefer from MS or Sony and it's just like a console on steroids.

Anyways, yeah, if this comes out on the PS4 and is exclusive I will buy it as I bought a PS4 for Bloodborne. I don't own any other games on that console yet as there are none others worth buying yet, imo again. :)

Their entire lineup has been done or redone in 3D, so I don't see them back pedaling, nor do I particularly want them to.  Have you even tried any of the PS2/PSP/PC games?  They're quite fun.

So... because of the cpu and gpu that is involved you technically could build a $300 PC that is more powerfull.

Yeah, good luck with that.

No I haven't. I guess I'm afraid of the letdown. I think it would be the same for me as Castlevania going 3D. Those games just don't feel like castlevania to me.

I don't think it would back pedaling or a step down to continue to produce 2D games. Castlevania Mirror of Fate HD is 2D/2.5D and its a beautiful game. Really fun too.

Ys 6 & 7 in 3D is FAR BETTER than any Castlevania game since going 3D.  You would be pleasantly surprised I think.

Ok, I take that back. I just priced out the parts on newegg, it would cost me about $370 to make a more powerfull computer cpu and gpu wise compared to either of the newest consoles.

I'm looking forward to this. I enjoyed Memories of Celceta and this looks bigger and better. I'll probably be getting this on Vita unless the PS4 version is expanded.

Last Ys I played was 7.  I preferred the gameplay from 6, Oath, and Origin to that found in 7 but oh well.  I'm looking forward to playing this; I'm glad Ys is back on a non-handheld platform at least.

Looks interesting!  I'm not sure about the third person view going on there but will give it a try. 

And as always, the music sounded awesome.

Pretty much how I feel, this may be marked as "Ys" but it looks generic as f*ck...and lol at the animation, what year is it?
