Those look like the PS1 version. I think it's just a simple port to the DS.

Still, it looks good for the DS. Square-Enix is going to make a ton of money with this one.

Ugh! Well adjusting for the "fuzzy effect" of a magazine scan it does look like these games should be quite good. I love me my Dragon Quest games so I definately can't wait to get my hands on these. They can't come out soon enough for me.

At first I thought this was DQ8 and I was like 0_o 'isn't DQ8 3D'. Then I realised the title said DQ4 >_>.

These shots are from just about all stages of the game. I recognize some of them from first first 5 minutes and then others from about 20 hours in. They've got the character models for all 8 main characters too. Looks like this game is farther along than I expected. Would have liked to have seen some battle shots though.

Thank you for showing me those screens - looks sweet!

Dragon Quest is my favorite rpg series so I can't wait for these remakes/ports (whatever they may be).

I was gonna say, this has a very DQVII-ish look to it. I'm still upset about the PS1 game not coming out here... the development house closed shop before Enix could get the US version finished. I wonder what V and VI will look like, though?

I got to think that they're just going to reuse the same engine that they're using for DQ IV, If they're planning to crank out all 3 of these games in the next year and a half to 2 years I can't see them developing from the ground up for each one.

I think they're actually using a modified Final Fantasy III engine, though I can't remember where I read that from. It would make sense, because right now that's the best 3D engine that they have running on the DS, and PS1/N64 games don't port exactly over to the DS-- see the graphical differences between the versions of Super Mario 64 for that. Because IV started as a PS1 game, it's probably easier for them to port it via the FFIII engine, rather than the cel-shading based engine that they're using for DQIX.

Makes you wonder which one they're going to use for V and VI, though...

The only sad part is, it's going to take FOREVER for the west to get this game. Be lucky if I'm playing this one year from now. Is it even announced outside of Japan yet?
