Hmm
I always forget that David Cage isn't the bossman of Quantic Dream.
I know I've been beat, but Lymle. Give her a "Kay" speech bubble.

I agree with you.
They're more than capable on a graphical and audio the graphical side, but their combat systems (as well as side quests) and narrative skills are lackluster (forgettable plots and anonymous characters).
But they've still got some experience, so i guess they deserve a shot at next-gen developement.
I'd like if this is some proper collaboration, maybe having someone from SCEJ staff could shake things up a bit.

Exactly! Just look at the Square-Enix/Dragon Quest collaboration. It was a great game.
Tech -> Level-5
Rest -> Square-Enix
If I see another little child as the main character of their AAA JRPG, I'm gonna stab myself.
What if the The Last Guardian now has RPG elements?
EDIT: Ok, now I saw you talkin about especifially of Level 5 game and not any AAA PS4 JRPG
I still don't understand why they still give Level-5 money for JRPGs.
Waste of money. Cattle Call, for example, proved that they can make a great JRPG.
Level-5..... well, is a great handheld dev.
Knack avatar if I lose. I haven't announced my avatar yet
(it won't have Knack in it)
I really liked Rogue Galaxy though. They need to make more like that.

Tai doesn't realise the terror of Knack. I've seen what it does to people who wore it for only half that time....they are still wearing it....

I could see the next mainline Dragon Quest game becoming a PS4 exclusive. Seems Sony is leveraging not just money but resources to make these games happen so that could be enticing to Square Enix.

Ag this point I don't even know if it would be worth it for the potential cost. The Japanese market is dying and spending a bunch of money to get a game only big in Japan seems foolhardy

I think it's kind of become default just due to how the consoles are selling in Japan. SE probably lose money when they release a game on XBO.

what if its a crossgen PS3/PS4 game ! The Ps3 would definitely deliver some good japan sales and with the Ps4 you could try to get more Fans in the West.
I think its pretty obvious at this point that DQ XI will be a PS4 Title....All those hints and rumours can't be there for nothing.
I don't mind a kid been the main character, as a frog, or anything.
As long as I sympathize with the history or motives, and it is well developed, I really don't mind.

How exactly? Quantity/quality for the first two years? Promises?
Keep in mind that when I was saying generation, I meant generation as a whole for home consoles(360+wii). This time, the wiiu has no support and ms is trying to get some japanese games, and nothing really high profile apart from Scalebound.
Yeah in that one the worlds were interesting (although too much corridors), some decent sidequests (monster hunting, beetles arena), a nice growt system and a battle system that although nothing special it was still enjoyable.
Story and characters were still shit though.

There is still the rest of the world and they can't sell consoles in Japan with no games releasing there. Hence Sony I think would co finance and take the risk off of Square's shoulders. That doesn't mean they make a $100 million DQ game, but I do believe they can make their money back with a mainline DQ game. Look at the scale of Xenoblade, that game is not being made on FF numbers.

Level-5's great at creating a cohesive universe and world design, I feel. I love how vibrant their crafted worlds and universes tend to feel, be it in Youkai, Rogue, NnK or even WKC.
But their stories and characters are pretty hit-or-miss.

As a JRPG fan, the games coming out (and announced/hinted) on the PS4, in this time frame, seem more attractive to me than the PS3.

This and John Bender^
All over my face!
Hype intensifying
Edit: Fuck, probably gonna regret this, but the hype got to me. #TeamKyoufu
Since we're all talking about L5, let's sit down, watch the original reveal of WKC and its best trailer and sadden up for what it could have been.

But yeah, i'm okay with them trying something ambitious once again (i loved NnK too, but i don't know if i want a sequel).
Just hope Sony helps them where they're weaker.

I have nothing against Rogue Galaxy. Jaster Rogue was 18 years old.
So playing as him was absolutely okay for me.
But being.....
or
...nah, really..NAH!
More....
Less....

I think Square just trolled everyone into thinking it was a port and now they'll show the trailer with the updated graphics! BELIEVE!
And I won't take part of the bet, I had to wear a Knack avatar for months for the same reason you guys are betting, but for the OSX 2014. That's already enough for me lol

Will you marry me? O_O
Srs, so many people spit on Rogue Galaxy, I find it to be on par with Kingdom Hearts. In fact, the gameplay, free roam mechanics, and the live battle system reminded me a lot of Kingdom Hearts- except, Rogue Galaxy had this incredible Star Wars meets Cowboy Bebop feel.

What if it's Dragon Quest XI?
Sounds like E3 2014. Which is why E3 2015 could potentially be really great.
That was last year.
Yes, I think that from this E3 forward we will se way more stuff per conference. I think Wii U failure was a bad rep for the next generation of consoles and now that both the PS4 & Xbox One are a huge success, publishers will invest more money on the market
Or you should let him wear his favorite sport coach, John Carver.
That was...
Perfect.
PS4 was launched November 2013, first year E3 was 2014.
PS4 second year E3 is a few days away. 2/3 years developing games is a good time

Quick question: Have the Sony, MS, and Nintendo conference times been announced yet? Haven't been keeping up

Please be good. Please be good. Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.
Yeah, I was kind of hoping for it today but goddamn, the thought of a new Mass Effect and a new Fallout being revealed in the next few weeks is salivating.

I love myself a good bet, but no real idea just yet.
My initial idea was to say U4 will release prior April 2016, but that's practically confirmed now. Thanks Andrew!

This. Rogue Galaxy is, IMHO, their best game. If they can put something out that's renascent of RG I'll be extremely happy.
Holy Shit! YES!!!!!!

So Sony has basically killed all hype for their E3 by saying they have nothing to offer first party wise this Fall? And kind killed the notion of any major 3rd party collaboration too. Muted my hype for their conference any way.
AAA announcements at E3 are typically for games not due until the next calendar year at least.
Because they're only going to be showing 2015 games. Also they have Persona 5, Tearaway, No Man's Sky, Until Dawn, and probably Uncharted Collection for Fall as well as a lot of indies (Tomorrow Children, Rime, SOTB, Hellbalde).
I'm weak. My heart longs to believe.
