ZUN announces PS4 version of Touhou 14.5 ULiL
Silent Harmony:
Can somebody please explain how this is "scary" news because I just don't see it. ???
As far as I know, ZUN still has more-or-less total control over the Touhou franchise and even if he ports an official fighting game to console I honestly don't see how that's suddenly hearkening a total shift in the production and distribution of the series. Sony, Tasafro, and really anybody else cannot force him to do anything that he does not want to do himself; it's made it pretty clear at this point that he works on Touhou purely because he enjoys it and not for any sense of "profit" or "fame" or anything. If anything this is probably him trying to spread a fighting game onto console since last I check the Japanese population on average do not see the PC as a gaming platform in comparison to consoles, so I'd imagine a vast majority of JP fighting game players play on PS4 rather than PC.
Remember how DDC on Playism JP and Playism US were supposed to hearken a new age of Touhou digital distribution? Yeah...
Honestly I think people need to chill out. I have no idea what is spooky about this news, but if there's even a chance that it's sparked by some fear of ZUN "selling out" or something then trust me, he's probably the last famous indie developer you have to worry about at this point.

I know ZUN won't "sell us" or something like that but you know I still have the right to worry a bit, even when I know nothing will happen.
Look at it in perspective ? is the first official Touhou game that gets released in a platform different than PC. That's huge.
Of course I believe this is not a problem at all but is impressive.

I hope for the same as well. The prospect of Touhou being console-exclusive just doesn't sit well with me, and possibly many others.
MetalStudios:
I wonder if one day we all will fondly look back to the time when Touhou was just a doujinshi series
It'll be interesting to see where the series will go here on out, hopefully in a successful direction and ZUN seems pretty damn smart, I don't think we have to worry about any buy-outs or things as drastic as that.
