Planning on importing Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and the Prophecy’s End on another platform aside from the PS4? If so, you might be wondering how the PS3 and Vita versions stack up against its now-gen brethren.
Thankfully, Square Enix has updated the game’s official website with a table comparing the differences between the three versions and yep, the PS4 version is king with 1080p resolution at 60fps (frames-per-second) confirmed.
