Hatsune Miku : Project Diva (PSP)

[videoman]

It’s a rhythm game which lets players win stuff and decorate Miku’s room. Beside rhythm games, you can watch her walk around.
The game have an interesting content, story and a wide customization option (Dressing, Decorate rooms etc).
Also, users can create Music Videos, Musics, and 3D animations together with Miku in this game.
Famitsu reports that the game is currently 40% finished. As I said, the game is going to be for the PSP. It would be produced by SEGA.

[xHaseox]

I'd feel like a pervert owning this...

Day one.

[Nerroth]

I wonder if it will have that new character, Megurine Luka, thrown in, too?


(Luka's samples were taken from the seiyuu who voices Rider in Fate/Stay Night. Yay!)

[cj iwakura]

I do love rhythm games.

[Kudou]

Ouendan in Vocaloid Form? What's there not to love!

[Tears of Ash]

I third this! Vocaloid needs moe love in America.

Oops typo. I meant, more. More love. Yup.

Maybe people will play the Hatsune Miku game and learn about the software by proxy, and we'll see more stuff done with it.

[hanseo]

yes bring it over

[videoman]

Here's one of songs that will be in the game

[DamageCity]

C'mon guys ATLUS wants to make money not squander it on such tripe. This game is made for japanese girls in junior high which, as much as many of you wish you were, you are not.

[System_Error]

NO. God NO.

[Olethros]

C'mon guys ATLUS wants to make money not squander it on such tripe. This game is made for japanese girls in junior high which, as much as many of you wish you were, you are not.

DC speaks the truth here. (well, except for maybe the Japanese middle school girl thing being desired by people here...It could be true but I DO NOT want to know about it).

Pass Atlus.

[cj iwakura]

Those look like DS graphics. Way to fail at PSP design.

[hanseo]

this game could help sell psp's to females

[grgspunk]

C'mon guys ATLUS wants to make money not squander it on such tripe. This game is made for japanese girls in junior high which, as much as many of you wish you were, you are not.

Actually, Miku Hatsune and vocaloid 2 were made for a male audience.

Day one.

[Sanctine]

C'mon guys ATLUS wants to make money not squander it on such tripe. This game is made for japanese girls in junior high which, as much as many of you wish you were, you are not.

Word.

[brigadeleader]

I don't play a whole lot of rhythm game, so this might be something good try out if it were to get localized.

Plus, I'd love to have Miku on my psp.

[Hitoshura]

I third this! Vocaloid needs moe love in America.

Oops typo. I meant, more. More love. Yup.

Maybe people will play the Hatsune Miku game and learn about the software by proxy, and we'll see more stuff done with it.

Bwahaha.

I support this.

[Constraint]

Ew, no.

Not too big on the whole electronic voice thing, but this is one of the only things I am able to stand with the voice in it, tho I'm not sure if it's the same vocaloid or not.

Eh, blah blah click (http://www.biglionmusic.com/content/virt_-_lorem_ipsum.mp3).

[CorneirPandora]

Gosh, I would buy this game so fast if this was brought over.
I don't have a psp, but I don't care.
I'll borrow someone elses. xD

[ Yay for the Seiryuu being the same as Rider's of Fate/Stay Night! ]

[Thray-Sama]

I know a lot of people in the UK alone who'd import this if Atlus or another publisher brought this out in English as there's no way in Hades that SEGA would release this outside Japan and Asia!

It would definitely be a Day One purchase for me even if I have to order it through a US friend for any possible pre-order goodies!

[cj iwakura]

The graphics look awful for a PSP game, but the game looks fun.

Curse you Miku, but day one.

[videoman]

New info!

http://i40.tinypic.com/nz0zmg.jpg

Yep, they’re finally confirmed by PIAPRO to be in the game. This means that all Crypton Vocaloid (as in Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, KAITO and MEIKO) are in Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA-. Along with this information, PIAPRO also revealed three new Hatsune Miku costumes. And of course, I’ll explain how the music editing feature in Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA-, as well as a gameplay video with “The Secret Garden”, a song composed by Kousaki Satoru and Hata Aki, which is this game’s theme song. And a relatively new commercial. Read on after the break to view them all.

http://i43.tinypic.com/2wmqi3q.jpg

I don’t know what will they be in the game or wether or not they’ll be a costume for Miku. For some reason, KAITO’s model looked like a girl to me. So anyways, three more costumes for Hatsune Miku was revealed by PIAPRO, and you can see them above. I love all of them! I can’t choose which one’s the best one. And there are six more degigns that were accepted but haven’t been converted into a 3D model yet. You can view all accepted designs in here (http://piapro.jp/static/?view=miku_1st_anniversary_result&c=c). As I have said before, there is a relatively new commercial on Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA-, which showed off the music editing feature. You can also hear “The Secret Garden” in the commercial. You can see that video below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ6lVLT8fI8&

So let me explain how the music editing works. From what I’ve heard, it lets you add your own music to be played in Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA-. The editing process is fairly simple. First, you select the buttons on your PSP that you would like to use in your song. Those buttons would then be numbered and you can place them in grids and position it and determine where it will come from. And then, you can just select a stage, a costume, and make Miku dance according to the presets available. And you’re done. You can see how it works below.

http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu28/DTKel/6d918b05.jpg
Select the button to be played in your song!

Determine its position and where it'll come from.

http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu28/DTKel/a3e629ec.jpg
And choose how Miku will dance to that song.

[kamikazekaito]

YES! a vocaloid game! a US release would amazing! (but im doubting this.....sadly T_T)

[Moé]

hey guys, it has vocaloid in it, therefore it MUST be good!

[kat_ears_kahrain]

What's this game now? I wasn't paying attention, I was too busy trying to look up her skirt... uh, I mean look up information... under her skirt... >.>

[Dragon God]

hey guys, it has vocaloid in it, therefore it MUST be good!

I agree. I am a closet vocaloid fan, actually. (Not anymore!)

[Steel Greyfalke]

this looks like a fun game & what disney does to young gals to make as pawns for corperate EVIL!! (SHAME ON YOU ,DISNEY) I rest my case.

[FistMara]

this looks like a fun game & what disney does to young gals to make as pawns for corperate EVIL!! (SHAME ON YOU ,DISNEY) I rest my case.

What case? There's never been any case. I don't think it looks like something DISNEY does. Disney makes you pay 60 dollars a year (month?) to be a member in their games and everything item is members only (example: Club Penguin. My little sister plays it and she is not a member (thank the might overlords for this). But, every item is for members and Disney uses their mind control powers to make you become member).


OK, back to this Hatsune Miku stuffs. I would really like this to come over here to the USA. I would totally get this day one. Although my cracked PSP screen would really make it harder to play (since I can't see).

[Steel Greyfalke]

what I meant was Disney Stars Such as Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez (the pawns) to rake in money, But yea controlling a virtual Pop singer would be fun fun fun like Armored Core for chicks XD

[seenlol]

As awesome as this would be, does vocaloid even have enough of a fanbase to get good enough sales here?

[Darkest Knight]

it's just too nice, I want it ^^

[Dragon God]

There's a fair number of fan communities, actually.

Here's a new promo vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMvcP0gr140

[Yet Another Tim]

Pass, Atlus USA, and guys, let's just swarm SEGA of America to localize this.

After all, the latter needs to promote more franchises and give Sonic a much-needed vacation.

[VMan]

Pass, Atlus USA, and guys, let's just swarm SEGA of America to localize this.

After all, the latter needs to promote more franchises and give Sonic a much-needed vacation.

I'm with you there. Especially on Sonic. I can't even bring myself to play the "storybook" series on the Wii because I know the true of soul of Sonic is not at its core (well, same goes for Unleashed's "werehog" side). As a fan of Sonic from its very first Genesis installment, its almost depressing when I can experience flashes of Sonic when its done right (the REAL side of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Rush/Adventure) and yet Sonic Team still repeatedly performs those poorly-designed and out-of-place "experiments" with the gameplay. Sonic is about Sonic, speed, and highly kinetic platforming. Amidst all the garbage, it has been done right, its needs to continue to be done right, and Sega/Sonic Team doesn't have to keep crankin' em all out somewhat as badly as Activision does Call of Duty/Modern Warfare.

*sigh*, that (admittedly to big of a) rant aside, I would like to see SoA publish a title like this (gives me nostalgia of the memorable experiences I have playing Space Channel 5). I applaud them for picking up projects from Platinum Games, though I'm not surprised by Madworld's apparent sales. I just hope the risk doesn't give them too sour a taste in the mouth for them to consider bringing a title like this over.

I know. Sonic, as a franchise as a whole, is now seen as a warning to other companies on how NOT to milk a franchise. I'm looking at you, Namco Bandai, for attempting to milk out DBZ, now that you got the American publishing rights.

As for the second part, I understand your concern, to the point that SEGA of America ain't promoting Initial D and Sakura Taisen here... in America! F'n Bernie Stolar... >_>

I thought they fired him...

Wait, nevermind.

[akumaoumitch]

Man I actually really like hatsune miku, I would buy this in an instant, and I know quite a bit of my friends would too actually. Vocaloid is really epic.

[kat_ears_kahrain]

From what I've seen of the game play now, it does certainly look interesting enough to pick up, on top of being Hatsune Miku.

[bucklemyshoe]

please bring it along with the idolm@ster games

Exactly, that's all that really needs to be said too lol.

[DestronPrime]

My vote is cast towards a localization from Atlus.

[BONN]

I'm not particularly into Miku, but I like rhythm games and Sega, so I'd buy this.

[djmdma02]

Seriously guys... this is like one step away from the dragon quest knock-off by illusion... I already get enough flak for the jrpg androgenous fruity games, do we really need to add stuff like this?

Just a thought :)

[Enzeru]

The graphics look awful for a PSP game, but the game looks fun.
I thought the graphics look great.

[DestronPrime]

Yeah, as did I.

[X-Grunger]

the west its not ready for this

[Kesseki]

I'd like to see this in English. I guess on the bright side the fact that it's a rhythm game and doesn't have tons of text makes it somewhat import friendly.

[HotLimit]

As much as I love rhythm games, has anyone actually listened to some of the songs in the game? It's pretty obnoxious (and that's not opinion, I had to plug in my headphones so people would stop covering their ears and throwing up).

The graphics look great though, I don't know who compared them to the DS, but seriously, take a look at a DS game some time. Great system, but horrible 3D graphics.

[Enzeru]

As much as I love rhythm games, has anyone actually listened to some of the songs in the game? It's pretty obnoxious (and that's not opinion, I had to plug in my headphones so people would stop covering their ears and throwing up).
I have this game, and I LOVE the songs (obviously). I'm not even a fan of Hatusne Mike or Vocaloid in general (well, maybe Len). World is mine, Far Away, and lekka Polka are all songs that stand out, but most songs I want to play over and over again (NOT Disappearance of Hatsune Miku...now that I have Hard Mode for it, never again...>>).

[Bastet]

I would love to see this translated by Atlus, not SEGA, simply for the fact of comparing the quality of translation.

Rhythm games are fun. As for people complaining about the music, the same could be said about DDR music in most cases, yet people *adore* that game.

And besides, I like that style of music.

The graphics are pretty dang decent gameplay-wise. DS graphics, when 3D, tend to be closer towards early PSX graphics and tend to be quite blocky.

^Music example of The World is Mine, 'sung' by Akita, FTW^

[slayn]

C'mon guys ATLUS wants to make money not squander it on such tripe. This game is made for japanese girls in junior high which, as much as many of you wish you were, you are not.

Oh hey look DC had the right answer back on page one.

[sdragon21]

2 words atlus: Do It. Bring this game over.

[AdrianMorales]

I don't know about you guys, but I have gotten fed up with these anime girls and their squeaky voices. I want women who look like women, not 5 years old who pretend to be women.

Although pedobear thinks otherwise:

Lrn2Luka if you want that.

[Chronoshale]

It'd be interesting to see Atlus localize this, and I might be willing to buy an English version for the sake of understanding the Editor. But I (as well as a lot of other Vocaloid fans) already bought the game in Japanese.

If Atlus did localize this, it'd be easy for them to lose money. xD The game is import-friendly enough for the people who already have it to not need to pay another $40+ to get it in English.

I support increased Vocaloid popularity in America, but this doesn't seem like something Atlus should pursue.

[wyrdwad]

I guess I missed this before... but yeah, if Atlus brings this over, it would be a day one purchase for me, as well. I own the Japanese version, and it's a LOT of fun.

Though the edit mode could use a few tweaks. It's super-powerful, but very user UNfriendly.

-Tom

[Enzeru]

Not to mention the English patch released lowers it even further.

[cj iwakura]

English patch? Say what?

[sdragon21]

I found a video of someone using the Hatsune Miku program to recreate the music from the intro stage of Megaman X3.

Video can be sumed up in 2 words:Freakin Awesome.

Link to the video:

[Sleepless Neko]

When did they release it?

[Enzeru]

Not to mention the English patch released lowers it even further.

When did they release it?
Awhile ago. A couple months after the game came out, actually.

[chiiruchan]

This game reminds me of the Kirarin Revolution and Raising Ayanami Project games on the DS. :3 I'd love to have an English version of this game. :O

[AdrianMorales]

I spent more than four hours last night playing Hatsune Miku and I have to say that I am now in love with this game. And you know what? I suck at rhythm games. I must have played the same song twenty times before I was able to get in the rhythm. Fortunately, I have so far managed to unlock two new costumes (modules as they are called) and a bunch of items that you can place in Miku's room. There game tends to slow down when there are a lot of things happening on screen, but it is not all that bad. Overall, the game is fun even though I can barely time the symbols correctly.

PS: This is what I am striving for:

http://projectdiva.wikispaces.com/file/view/costume006.jpgThis Valkyria Chronicles Alicia costume is one of the reasons why I got the game. :D Too bad Miku didn't sing any songs from Valkyria Chronicles or even Space Channel though.
