Hey, Fragile looks cool!

Oh yeah, and rumours of DQV DS on 2008/1/22.

:O

grandjedi6 · (11-20-2007, 05:59 AM)

Fragile looks nice
Lord of Vermillion has been revealed!
DQ V rumors!!

Skilletor · (11-20-2007, 05:59 AM)

Lord of Vermillion has a really cool logo.

Hcoregamer00 · (11-20-2007, 05:59 AM)

Damn I want clearer pictures of Fragile.

Akia · (11-20-2007, 05:59 AM)

Does Bioshock have Japanese VA or is it subtitled? I wonder if it can get anywhere near the quality of the English voice over.

Now for the love of everything good and decent, NA release dates please!!!

Is Lord of Vermillion related to Sword of Vermillion for Genesis? Logic says yes, but I've never heard of it before.

Kyoufu · (11-20-2007, 06:00 AM)

Its 6am, what does TCG mean again? something card game?

AndoCalrissian · (11-20-2007, 06:00 AM)

Thanks for them, but man, can't see anything. Looks like you use a flashlight with Fragile?

Troidal · (11-20-2007, 06:00 AM)

I wish today was Wednesday :/

Trading card game.

PepsimanVsJoe · (11-20-2007, 06:01 AM)

The girl on the second page of the Fragile scan seems to be wearing nothing but a few pieces of cloth tied together.

I approve.

How would that be logical? Sword of Vermillion was by Sega. This game is by S/E.
Ah nevermind.

JoeFu · (11-20-2007, 06:02 AM)

Fragile info!!!
looks cool I guess...

what's with his funky container thingy?

and on the pic next to the chick, is he using a flashlight?

also, lolol fragile should be more atmospheric on ps3 lolool

No. Sword of Vermillion was a Sega game, this is a SE game

Is it going to be S-E's version of Eye of Judgment? Because I've been secretly hoping they'd do a triple triad game with EOJ mat/camera.

That, is very very quick.

So I have 2 months to beat DQIV DS.

Chromax · (11-20-2007, 06:02 AM)

I like Fragile!

Busaiku · (11-20-2007, 06:03 AM)

Wait so Lord Of Vermillion is like Mushiking or something?

NiGHTS on PS2 is real... release date Feb 21 @ 3990 yen.

Oh snap.

Well, it rhymes is all I was saying. Forgive me.

OK, now I see his edit. Completely different games.

Firestorm · (11-20-2007, 06:03 AM)

Any mention on Fragile's battle system? If real time, I'm interested.

Chromax · (11-20-2007, 06:04 AM)

Arcade?...So it's like Musihking, I won't see it this lifetime. ;_;

thetrin · (11-20-2007, 06:04 AM)

His/Her name is Seto? ...alright.

(in reference to the character with the brown hair in Fragile)

traveler · (11-20-2007, 06:05 AM)

Nights on PS2 is real. Is it a straightforward port or are there some additions?

ZealousD · (11-20-2007, 06:05 AM)

I'm kinda liking that art style in Fragile, but at the same time, I'm still very "huh?" on the title. Can anybody read that flimmy flammy moonspeak and give us some of the juicy details?

SumGamer · (11-20-2007, 06:06 AM)

That'sjust way too closed. If it's real, they should start advertising right about ..... now.

Edit: I read it as FF, I'm dumb. I'll be sitting in the corner now.

PepsimanVsJoe · (11-20-2007, 06:06 AM)

3990 yen seems a bit pricey for a Sega Ages release.
I'm definitely curious about this version of Nights.

Segata Sanshiro · (11-20-2007, 06:06 AM)

WOOHOO NiGHTS

adg1034 · (11-20-2007, 06:06 AM)

Is this a Sega AGES title, or something different?

ethelred · (11-20-2007, 06:06 AM)

Is the PS2 NiGHTS Journey of Dreams or is it the original?

The advertising will start on the 23rd.

Kyoufu · (11-20-2007, 06:06 AM)

Wow Nights on PS2? I thought they decided to make one now because of the Wii controller? You're telling me we could've played this same exact game since PS2 launch?

Mr. Pointy · (11-20-2007, 06:07 AM)

Sounds like a Sega Ages thing. So probably cleaned up graphics, stable framerate and not much else. Maybe Christmas Nights if we're lucky.

Is there a better scan of the Fragile page, any news on the developer?

ethelred · (11-20-2007, 06:08 AM)

Fingers crossed it's the Venus & Braves team. Those folks really truly need to get the chance to make another RPG.

"Into Dreams"

Not "Journey of Dreams"

You know what would be pretty crazy?

Team Symphonia.

grandjedi6 · (11-20-2007, 06:09 AM)

Damn, so it was true. More Nights is always a good thing, I just hope Sega doesn't saturate the market

Yeah, the art style is pretty nice. By the way the logo looks for the game, it seems to me it might have elements of horror. Interesting. But I bet it is something completely different.

With Venus & Braves being a unlockable!

Pachael · (11-20-2007, 06:10 AM)

Excellent. (Nights-wise).

Eteric Rice · (11-20-2007, 06:10 AM)

Clearer pictures of Fragile, please!

Nights looks good as well, will buy. :)

speedpop · (11-20-2007, 06:11 AM)

Fragile, although blurry shots, seems to look cool. I like the character design.

Also another :O @ DQ V

Defuser · (11-20-2007, 06:11 AM)

It has began...Nights franchise whoring.

Impossible

Jonnyram · (11-20-2007, 06:12 AM)

I am updating the OP from time to time too... NiGHTS pic up now.

titiklabingapat · (11-20-2007, 06:13 AM)

I thouight that was NiGhts 2 PS2.

dr3upmushroom · (11-20-2007, 06:13 AM)

Why are people getting hyped about Fragile, did I miss something?

Defuser · (11-20-2007, 06:14 AM)

Now if only there's a next gen Nights....

Ehhhhhhhh no. Venus & Braves is better than any Tales game Namco's ever made.

Yay, NiGHTS.

Could you even possibly be less subtle?

jj984jj · 06:19 AM

Hurray! Now I can play NiGHTS 1 & 2! Or at least it looks like it got a graphical upgrade and isn't part of Sega Ages, so it should be localized right?? I hope the DQV rumor is true as well!

And it's always nice to see the 360 get more shumps. :)

Night_Trekker · (11-20-2007, 06:14 AM)

Nights on the PS2? Sweet.

Now Sega, give me a Shining Force III compilation/port and I'll be really happy.
