Miku fans have been gratified to learn the details of Hatsune Miku’s upcoming PS3 game debut in the form of Project Diva Dreamy Theater, although they may be left feeling a little short-changed…
The game (or “expansion kit” – it is not clear what Sega is calling it) has now been formally announced as being set for release in the summer of 2010, to be distributed online over the PlayStation Network for an as yet unannounced price.
Fans may however be perturbed to learn this is not a PS3 game as such – a PSP (but not the PSP Go) and a copy of Project Diva are required, along with a USB cable, with the game being played on the PSP via a USB link to PS3, which outputs HD visuals to its TV display as usual.
The PS3 is thus apparently merely re-rendering the data outputted by the PSP.
In any case, the graphics are gorgeous and sure to be a hit with Project Diva fans:
Project Diva saves are importable, although it seems this requires yet more hardware in the form of a memory stick.
Project Diva 2nd, the PSP game’s full sequel, is due at the end of July – no similar functionality has yet been announced for that title.
An arcade version of the first game in full HD is also in the late stages of development – it seems likely Dreamy Theater development is linked to this.
Just why Sega feels it necessary to release this as an inconvenient PSP/PS3 crossover and not a standalone port or sequel for the PS3 is not clear.

Needs more Chinese dress Miku!
looks like "osu!"...
and im going to stick to it rather than paying like 400 dollars.. troll me if u want :D
Damn. I meant to buy project Diva a long while ago. Well....no time like the present I suppose.
I hope something like this is made that works with all PSP games. I'd use my psp more if I could use a PS3 controller with it.
Beautiful...I can't wait for the 2nd PD game to come out...
Not really that inconvenient actually if you already had a PSP and PS3 to begin with. The cable's the same cable used to recharge the PS3 controller anyway and it came free with the console. Only extra thing you'd really need is a copy of the game itself and this DLC and you're practically set, unless I'm missing something. Once connected I guess you can just treat the PSP like a wired controller for the PS3 lol.
"Just why Sega feels it necessary to release this as an inconvenient PSP/PS3 crossover and not a standalone port or sequel for the PS3 is not clear."
- because it's hard to make towns on PS3 :) and now think about it for a second...
This seems like some kind of klugey thing that's not going to work properly, and leave buyers dissatisfied.
I like Miku, and already have a PSP and PS/3, but I'm not gonna touch this game.
Such pretty visuals. Doesn't seem like a bad deal considering that most fans already own all the prerequisites.
Aww, come on. The Wii could have this game in spades. Maybe a Wii Port? Please? :P
Just to keep the fans happy, yes, I know the PS3 is revolutionary and maybe I should get one (the PSP is also a nifty portable console) but in reality, imagine the audience that it would reach with having two systems - the Wii version could be button pressing frenzy (Boom Boom Rocket, anyone?) and the PSP/PS3 version is what it is at the moment.
The game looks awesome, but I doubt we'll see it in other countries like Australia...
Unless I wait for a translated ISO to pop up for the PSP...
If you screw up with the button pressing, does Miku give you a glare, >_< or anything? ie. If you stuff up, she stuffs up as well?
I think there might be a problem with this. How perfect is your AV setup? Project Diva PSP has no calibration setting, does it? Like Rock Band, etc.? Not a problem on the PSP itself, but once you hook it up to a TV and start getting video or audio lag...
It doesn't matter what sega makes as long as miku is on the cover there will always be a buyer.
... This indeed looks awesome, but I cannot stop to remember the SEGA MEGADRIVE CD 32X... and you know what I mean. Obviously, nobody can compare this awesome feature the game will have to what they used to do with "hardware add-ons" before.
THIS
Ah, the Sega CD-32X combo. The selfcesting console accessories that bore crappy games and equally crappy gaming experiences...
On topic, that's one fine-looking Miku right there. Just as awesome as the Miku's Day concert rendition.
Is this the same Miku from just the concert...or is it just me?
Actually....do not want.
This is likely to never be released on US. Oh crep...
Project Diva is one of my favorite rythim games with Pump it Up and DJ Max.
to be honest i would have been happier if it was just a copy of project diva arcade rather than it being... this.
it just seems arbitrarily complicated to have to use your psp, with project diva, with a usb-b connection, with your gamesave; rather than just using a regular controller.
if it ends up being $60+ than i'm gonna look for a way to pirate it.
Hate to break this to you, but this PS3 software (a) was never, ever positioned as being any kind of stand-alone product, and (b) was announced specifically in conjunction with the announcement of Project Diva 2 for the PSP.
So, "similar function" for Diva 2 has indeed been announced as, well, this is it.
No Sega, I don't want this lame game, I want the Miku Giving Day concert, now deliver damn it. We know you have it.
You do realize the concert was financed by the success of the first game and was a promo for the 2nd game?
Now I really want a PS3...and a PSP...and a DS...
They should definitely include this in limited edition - http://chan.sankakustatic.com/data/07/48/074846a40c6d4a5fa9a95f0fc3b58c3b.png
LOL! I'll try to preserve the brown tip of that negi.. S-so I don't lose the value, yeah. :3
Seeing Miku on 1080p goodness?? This is gonna be sweet!!!!!
Until they release the pricing for the stuff required... owell, just need the stuff from the PSN and I'm set ^^
I didn't really have a reason for a JP PSN account... till I saw this. I have all the components needed. Until then, I'll await for the release of this DLC.
They should release this on the XBox 360.
I can already feel the tide of Xbox/PS3 fanboys ready to storm over this post...
Microsoft should find a way to connect a PSP to a Xbox360 first.
Yeah!!!! I have Project Diva on PSP~!! X3 and I still got yen in my japanese playstation store wallet!! X) Will HAPPILY WAIT!!!! I always wanted the UMD for Project Diva, since it lags on memsticks. And even if it lags for milliseconds, that's a lot for a game like Project Diva.
that china dress alone is worth it.
If only the PSP had graphics like these...
I didn't even know the "China" outfit's top was patterned, it just looks all gray on the PSP.
Oh my god, that is lovely. Such gorgeous graphics.
Well, PS3... it looks like we'll be enjoying yet another ride.~
Yeah, it looks awesome. I can't wait to experience some Miku goodness in HD!
Now, I'm even more glad that I just bought a PSP with Project Diva. :D
~Now, I'm even more glad that I just bought a PSP with Project Diva. :D
Ditto. I love my life right now.
ah how much does a psp, ps3, the usb cable and project diva cost?
like around 400 pounds? I might get them then...
The USB to mini-USB cable needed comes with the PS3 and is the same cable used to connect the Dualshock3 controller to the system for recharge. For the record, that saves you a grand total of $5 US, which is what it would cost otherwise. ;p
The next special Playstation games will only work with Sony TVs. You'll need an additional connection cable for 100 bucks, of course.
Woh, lying troll. you guys still exist?
If you did not take that as a joke, then you fail at life.
you are falling into their trap
IT'S A TRAP!
*pew pew pew*
When I was really little I thought all girls had penises too. Until I found medicine encyclopedia that is...
One of the things we do not have in common, it seems.
It looks.... So... Good!!!
That's your subconscious. It tells a lot about you...
Ijust imgined a pretty girl pulling out a penis... No thanks...
guess i'll get that refurbed ps3 for 240 then...
I really hope this will work with a CFW enabled PSP. I have a physical copy of the game already but I don't wanna upgrade from my 5.00 M33 if I can avoid it.
Why didn't you test the GEN release ?
I heard GEN was pretty unstable when it first came out, don't know about now. I remember reading something about themes not working right too.
