DQ 4, 5 and 6 are being remade. Is anyone excited?

Not really

Guys, remember the time game developers made games in which you didn't know the story already?

Then again, I hope they release these in America.

Well, for those who didn't play those games it's a nice opportunity... I count myself in that pile.

if they also did 1-3 in addition, and have it on one cart, I'd be interested.

Sure. I'll play them.

Remaking games is kind of cheesy

I'm sorry. Have I offended you in any way?

Not really...

I never played any DQ , but there's a slim chance I may try one of the remakes , but more likely I'll play the original...

If they are released in English, yes. Dragon Quest 8 is probably my favourite PS2 game. I haven't played any of the earlier DQ games before 7 (if that makes me a n00b, then so be it)

Same here. i still haven't finished Dragon Quest VIII. Either that games is long, or I'm a slow player.

I've played VIII last year and am now going through the first three in their gameboy color renditions, the only way to play em as I see it. I can't stand opening a menu every time I want to open a door, go down stairs, talk, etc. and since this is removed in the GBC versions then it is MUCH easier.

after that I can play 4, 5, and 6 on the DS and then I'll just have to play 7 and 9 when it comes.

I'm a big fan of the Dragon Quest series, I will certainly get these if they are translated. I've played through the excellent Dejap translation of DQ5, but DQ6 was not exactly finished (it would often crash). To have it in official form would be great. I also would enjoy playing through DQ4 again, it was certainly one of the best NES games.

The DQ4 remake site is now live. Some screenshots of the remake is also available. I'm amazed they're using two screens to actually draw the entire game.

funkyass · Post by **funkyass** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 5:05 am

considering you can't do 3d on both screens at once

The graphics look better than the PS1 remake.

Panzer88 · Post by **Panzer88** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:12 am

you would hope so, otherwise why would you buy it, just to be portable? bah, it's good that it's better, they are prolly working really hard with the engine they're making for DQ IX
