Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
The latest issue of V-Jump has first details on Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory, the latest entry in the Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth series due out for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in Japan in 2017.

Hacker’s Memory is set in the same world as the original Cyber Sleuth and features a new story “on the other side of Cyber Sleuth.” The protagonist is Keisuke Amazawa (name changeable), a young man who had to jump into the hacker world after he was made the criminal in a case he knows nothing about. Character designs look to again be by Suzuhito Yasuda.

The basic systems from the original Cyber Sleuth, including the Digi-Farm, will return, with various elements powered up. Over 320 Digimon will appear.

Bandai Namco will also include the original Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth with Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker’s Memory as a pack-in title.

My only gripe with this is that Atlus might make it for Switch like the next SMT which I am not buying for the foreseeable future :negative:

Since it's just a compilation, I don't expect the west to get this in any shape or form. If we do, it'd be done with a half-assed translation created 2-3 years after release (see: Romancing SaGa 2).

Yup, I'm okay with this.

More Digimon is nice. Digimon World Next Order completely blew Cyber Sleuth out the fucking water though so I'm hoping for more Digimon World games to come our way as well.

So, more like an expansion then. Still :incline:

If only it was available for Steam. :negative:
Why do you hate PC users so much, Japan?

Yeah, while Bamco have been releasing most console games on PC simultaneously in recent years, looks like niche anime games (like Digimon and Sword Art Online games) are not part of the scheme. (Of course, Dragon Ball and Naruto are not niche).

In other news, Toukiden 2 is out now:

I'm just amazed people are still making 3DS games in the age of switch.
Atlus kept making ps2 games at 2008 so its nothing new for them. At least we know that new SMT is coming to switch so they will jump in sooner or later.

So just played toukiden 2 and unless you have a xbox controller you can forget about playing this game.
No mouse support,can't rebind keys to numpad,arrow keys and game doesn't recognize playstation controllers.(could be a bug)
The performance is solid and it allows you to play at 60 fps,but the controls ruin the game if you are playing keyboard only.
