Did you think I wouldn't notice? Vocaloid rhythm game,Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X, is out now in the UK for PS4 and
PSVita. I don't have my hands on the full game yet but I couldn't
contain myself so I'm writing up a preview based on the demo. (It's
free,go try it.)
Core gameplay is pretty
much the same as previous games but feels a little more polished, hit the button
prompts as they fly in towards their targets. Buying the full game
will net you around 30 new songs and that might be your biggest reason to
purchase, but improvements have been made elsewhere that could be worth
your attention and make for some nice additions. Songs are split into
themed "clouds" and the Diva Room feature appears to be
integrated into the game in a way you'll be spending more time with
the idols than usual, without having to go in to separate menus. It's also easier to
collect items and modules (costumes) as they operate on a loot type
system, with
items dropping during
and after a song. This streamlines the collection side of the game (removing the need for Diva Points) but I wonder how you would go about unlocking a specific item? The
more frequent and direct rewards are appreciated though.
Talking of loot; modules and accessories almost act like armour and accessories in an
RPG, you get a
boost for equipping the
correct outfit for the song style plus a special ability such as an increase in the number of special notes or extra points when you hit a
100 note streak.
The demo also includes
one festival event, which lets you string together three songs in
an epic
stadium setting. With only 2
difficulties and 3 songs, I am still finding the demo very addictive thanks to the new improvements and the addition of
loot and rare drops and I can't wait to experience the full game. I'm expecting more
modes, a range of specials quests, a use for my items and gifts, all the
other Piapro characters and a
bunch of great songs.
Oh and I forgot to
mention, the PS4 version is the first game I've seen listed as a PSVR
game...
so if you're picking up
PSVR in October you'll be able to hold your own virtual concert! Noice!
