NEWS: Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone Announced for PS4

This is incredibly confusing to me.
Isn't Future Tone just the Arcade version of Project Diva f2nd? I played some of it and I swear there was no new content other than a bunch of PVs that looked like they'd been made using the editor (ie nothing special or unique to each PV).

I mean, I haven't played Future Tone a -lot-, because I'm not in Japan anymore and it was the regular Project Diva Arcade that I played more of, so if anyone can shed any light on to exactly why this needed to be a ps4 port - let alone a separate game to Project Diva X instead of just someDLC for it - I'm all ears. (Especially considering f2nd already had the ability to download other peoples edit-mode songs...)

I hope it looks better on the PS4 than it does on the game machines though, because the graphics in the arcade version (as well as Dreamy Theatre) have this uncomfortable plasticy look to them that I even prefer the PSP graphics to.

Aww seriously, no vita??

I guess I have to pass this then, or wait for possible announcement for vita release. It will be a waste to buy a whole new console just to play one title, because nothing in PS4 game library interests me so far.

I know about the controls being different, I just wasn't sure if the songs themselves were, and the brief bit of exposure I had to the game itself (also in Round1 during a trip to the US) seemed to not have a lot of songs that werent in previous games. (I played one that wasnt and it had one of those generic 'made in the PV editor' pvs that the songs in PDArcade had) Although it's kind of hard to tell because it gives you that stupid timer when you have to choose a song, forcing you to do mad rush to choose instead of actually being able to look at each one ... That and the sizeable line of people waiting behind me meant that I couldnt investigate as much as I wanted.

I hope it is different enough to be worth buying thoughI keep seeing more and more reasons to finally get a PS4 after all. (But I also wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt, seeing as Project Mirai Deluxe was literally just Project Mirai 2 with extra bells and whistles).

I'm mostly confused because I always considered the Arcade versions to be ports of the console games with some slight control tweaks so it's a bit weird to see the reverse of this.

2016 is going to be awesome, Future tone and PDFX !!?? Now is the time to throw money at sega. I just can't wait for these to come out since its been forever too long ago when F2 came out.

@Shiggity- Australia, although I did live in Japan a few years which is how I got to play/become decently familiar with PDArcade.

I also have already bought 3 consoles for the sake of this franchise (originally bought a PSP for the very first one back when it was new, a Vita for PDf and a 3DS for Mirai (and wish I'd waited for Mirai2, but how was I to know Mirai was going to have everything Mirai1 had plus more ). Granted these have all been handhelds that have managed to be used for various other games, but it stilll wouldnt surprise me if this same series got me to buy a PS4. My skepticism of a FutureTone port is probably also my self defense mechanism trying to prevent me from doing so

Nope. Future Tone is a totally different part of the franchise. The F series started on the PS Vita and then eventually got ported to the PS3. Project Diva X is called that because it's the 10th project they've worked on through out the entire Project Diva ...project? lol. l

Also don't forget about the upcoming Miku game featuring the Morpheus virtual reality thingy!!
