My most anticipated game of early 2016 - the 4th mainline instalment in the gaming-parody JRPG Neptunia series. Released on 5th February.
This game is the sequel to the retro setting of Victory/Rebirth 3, and features three different stories set within Gamindustri - one is a next-gen universe (complete with Dreamcast-based Orange Heart), one features third-party developers 'Golden Third' stating they don't need CPUs (Bandai/Capcom/Konami/Square-Enix) and one... I don't know much about really.
Go beyond HDD mode and take the power of Gamindustri's CPUs to the next-gen in NEXT mode!
Megadimension Neptunia VII hits North America and Europe in Early 2016, exclusively on the PlayStation®4 home entertainment system in both retail and digital formats!
The first PS4 game in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, this instalment features new characters, three worlds to save and three stories to play, a new powerful transformation mode, extra features to the battle system, and a new dungeon minigame so you can get all the items you need for you and all of your new allies to save Gamindustri!
Story:
G.C. 2015 - Gamindustri has entered a precarious season known as the CPU Shift Period. During this time of social unrest, deprecating rumours about the CPUs have begun to saturate Gamindustri. Neptune and the others worry the citizens will soon call for new leaders to replace the them and that their rule will end.
In these critical moments for Planeptune, Neptune and Nepgear mysteriously disappear. Their destination: a divergent world, nearing its catastrophic end, called the Zero Dimension. They encounter the last remaining CPU of this world, Uzume Tennouboshi, who is desperately waging a lonely battle against a colossal evil known as the Dark CPU.
Will Neptune and Nepgear be able to work together with Uzume in order to save Zero Dimension from tragedy? So begins a new adventure for Neptune...
Key Features:
New Battle Features - Characters can link up for stronger attacks, "Parts Break" allows you to split enemies into pieces to lower their stats and disable special attacks, and "Giant Battles" impose limits that will challenge the strategist in you!
NEXT mode - A second transformation is now available! You can break those big baddies into bits with NEXT mode, which features new special skills and a new costume for the CPUs!
Three Worlds, Three Stories - Three different story modes! With new CPUs and characters at your side, you must fight through three dimensions to save Gamindustri!
New Dungeon Minigame! - An homage to the classic "Spelunker," you receive special items when you clear this dungeon under the time limit!
The games are always self-contained - they all take place in different dimensions.

Great price but rice use sage pay so you pay on preorder Hot deal though
Plus not to put a damper on it, I got the Japanese version on release and was majorly disappointed and I'm a huge neptunia fan

What about it didn't you like?
I tried the Japanese demo and it seemed pretty much more of the same but better graphics and framerate.

It is definitely coming to PC eventually (probably once they've allowed time for the two spin-offs to be ported and released) as it was rated for both PS4 and PC in the US.
