Seems like VP DS has a seamless field. Sounds kind of like VP2 + FF12 or something.

[grandjedi6]

welp, I guess I'll take what I'm given. Bring it on Persona 4 and VP DS

[Kafel]

So P4 is the mistery game on DVD ?

[Error]

VP DS looks great, I dunno about those small ass sprites tho.

[Vinnk]

Cool. I'll pick up this issue.

Looking forward to seeing the DVD.

[Mr. Pointy]

Can't kill the PS2.

That's what I thought of when I saw it too. I can't believe I got the right idea. Still looks like it has the awesome combat though. Looking forward to playing both P4 and VPDS! Until then... I'm waiting for that DVD!
...

If VPDS does get localized that is, but S-E has been pretty good with DS games so hopefully that'll erase any worries VP sales bring about it being localized.

[GhostSeed]

I can't say I would be too excited to play a isometric action RPG, top down or side scroll FTW.

[duckroll]

VP DS' 2D work is really underwhelming. I expect much more from tri-Ace... oh well.

What have they done on DS so far ?

nothing aside from VP DS

[Himuro]

Sigh. Trailer = where?

[Polari]

Any deets on The Sky Crawlers?

[duckroll]

Sigh. Trailer = where?

Soon.

[Ironballs]

Please let Persona 4 be in widescreen.

Not happening. It's PS2.

P4 in July already? Earlier than expected, but then again, they got the P3 engine to work with. I'm wondering if it might see a Wii port. By the time it gets out of Japan (if it gets out), it would be a bit silly to release it on the PS2 alone. Atlus did it with Baroque, so I think there's a fair chance for a Wii Persona 4.

[dillenger]

WHERE IS KANEKO.

He's gone into complete hiding. The last time we saw him he said he was doing artwork for the next Devil Summoner,and then nothing has been know ever since then.

I was kind of hoping Persona 4 would have went with his artwork.

:( Don't rub it in.

No, Sting did it with Baroque. Nothing to do with Atlus. :P

[Darkpen]

:(

Where are my next-gen games...

oh wait, Disgaea 3 says hi...

....


god dammit.

Working on SMT4, I hope.

cant say Im too thrilled about this being seamless.

will wait for trailer and more info.

[deathkiller]

Fixed?

[soul]

I actually really like VP's design now that I see it clearly. Can't wait for P4.

[klee123]

PS2 refuses to die, but I'm not complaining.

[WickedLaharl]

i see a pic of your ass sitting in class. fuck that sucks.

[Green Shinobi]

Day 1.

[kiryogi]

For anyone that's seen the P4 scans, can anyone make out the character names?

[monkeylite]

Great. 2010 for PAL release then. :(

VP DS sounds more and more meh as more information are leaked. But I have faith in tri-Ace.

[Dascu]

No, Sting did it with Baroque. Nothing to do with Atlus. :P

Did Atlus publish it in Japan? I think the Wii version was Atlus' idea. It seems kind of weird how Sting would decide to port it.

No, Atlus has nothing to do with Baroque outside of the US publishing.

what info? aside from the seamless bit.

[duckroll]

The 17 mins of P4 must be taking a long time to rip or something. Lolz.

[grandjedi6]

People seem to have a hard time understanding this

[FateBreaker]

Soon.

How soon? Like, I should stay awake a little longer, or can I go to sleep?

[Himuro]

Where the fuck is that trailer so I can go to sleep.

[Dascu]

No, Atlus has nothing to do with Baroque outside of the US publishing.

Alright, my mistake then.

[soul]

mgs1 on psn.

[Steroyd]

Well look on the bright side, at least we have Persona 3 that has been released last month to hold us over. :|

[Himuro]

- The game takes place in the country side away from the cities, which is interesting for SMT
- the theme is mystery suspense (:o P2-esque please)
- Supposed to be a mystery full of twists and turns
- There is a weather system and whenever there's fog, a murder happens
- 1.5 x the size of P3
- multiple endings
- 60-70 hours

[ChaoticBlue]

can the ps2 die already? i like the ps2 but its actually hurting the ps3 since games that could be on the ps3 are on the ps2. NIS has moved on with disgaea 3 and persona 4 needs to be on ps3 instead.

[zurra]

ahhhh can't sleep, trailer more important....

- multiple endings

blaaaaaah

[duckroll]

Don't stay up for the trailer, whenever someone gets it it'll definitely be hosted. Don't worry about it.

More P4 details:

- Takes place in the countryside, a more nostalgic environment
- The theme is murder mystery/suspense, it's a mystery thriller with twists and turns
- Multiple endings
- 1.5x the size of P3
- 60-70 hours
- There is a weather forecast system, and whenever there is a fog, a murder occurs

Somehow I doubt that the PS2's death would lead to more PS3 games

[jj984jj]

The sprites really are small in VPDS, the clean scans really make it clear... the combat looks really faithful though, hope it works well in real-time.

Disgaea 3 still looks like a PS1 game though.
