Quick hands-on preview
As Miku fans likely already know, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd is coming to North America this year, to both PS3 and Vita. It was through your support for the first title that this sequel’s release is possible, Sega tells Destructoid. That strong support also made it so that Sega will be bringing physical releases for both versions. That’s great news for fellow Vita fans.
I spent a little bit of time withDIVA F 2nd. As you know, the gameplay is pretty close to that of the first game. But they’ve made a few changes and improvements to that gameplay. In playing through “The World is Mine,” “Decorator,” and “Doppelgänger,” I had to get used to the stick flicking and linked stars (tracing shapes with analog sticks), but those are fun after you get them down. I liked being able to tweak the difficulty settings even further with items, especially on stages I sucked on. Even Normal setting is pretty challenging at first.
There will be 40 songs in this release, some of which have only been available in Japan until now. Old ones were upgraded to HD, too. Some of the videos for these stages were crazy busy, but that’s how I like it.
No surprises here, though. Series fans know what they’re getting. Stay tuned for more news on DIVA F 2nd‘s release.
