Like previous entries in the series, Disgaea 4 is a hardcore SRPG with a comedic twist. NIS is promising "stupidity to the MAX" in this upcoming endeavor. Taking place in hell, the story will have a political theme, with players building their own political cabinets. "I'd love to have questionable politicians play this game," he joked.

New features for Disgaea 4 are the addition of network features which will allow you to invade other player's worlds, and vice versa. However, the primary new feature is the revamped focused on graphics. While the game will still retain its trademark 2D look, the resolution of the sprite art has been bumped significantly, and will look more like illustrator Takehito Harada's original drawings. "Wow, that must have cost a lot," the NIS host joked during the presentation.

Disgaea 4 will be releasing exclusively on PS3 on February 24, 2011 in Japan. A US release should follow afterwards.

I can't wait to see some screen, based on the bolded text above. It's about time this awesome genre entered the 21st Century.

FUCK!

All these games are making me heavily consider buying a PS3.

I am surprised that you like this series.

In any case, I hope it is a lot different from 1/2/3.

Since getting a PS3 I still haven't played 3. D=

Holds the fate? I guess I didn't know they were in that bad of shape.

I love these games. I just don't have the time to really invest in playing. There's always something happening and I can't sit my ass at home.

By the way, if you wanna come hang out for bowling it's on Oct. 4. It's not only bowling but my birthday. I will be civilized, though.

The new sprites look very nice. About fucking time.

Not trying to be a bitch in asking - what would you want different?

To me, the biggest issue I have is that the diversity the game offers in terms of what attacks you can use are based off of the weapons instead of the character class.

That you can endlessly chase your own tail in these games is a blessed curse. You don't have to do any bullshit like that to clear the main game, but there's nothing stopping you from sinking a gigantic amount of hours into building stat values forever upward (much less do like people who continuously reset and reload things in order to maximize random values or get matching rarity numbers on equipment - give me a fucking break).

The video doesn't make the game look very different from 3 at all, aside from the obvious graphic touch up.

I'm tired of this bullshit series
