vireland said:For those that don't know, this was originally called Epica Stella in Japan. We were going to call it Detonator Gauntlet, and even advertised it as such, but Midway was threatening lawsuits about the title containing the word "Gauntlet" so we were forced to go another way.
Angelcurio said:Btw Victor, can we hope for lunar 1 and 2?
Angelcurio said:And also, how is your relationship with Sony these days? I remember you had a lot of problems with approvals during the PS2 days, specially with the Grownlanser ports.
Javaman said:So this'll work on the PSP too?
Javaman said:So this'll work on the PSP too? Does this game show success rate % before attacking?
I remember hearing stories about this in the 90's. So glad guys like Bernie Stolar and his like are gone from Sony's management team.vireland said:The tag team of Monkeypaw and Gaijinworks has been very good at getting things moving on the Sony side with these games. Sony is much "hungrier" now than they were when they were #1 with like 70% of the console global game market back in the late PS1 early PS2 days. Also, a number of the Sony people that were actively giving WD trouble in the early PS2 days are gone now. I think in general Sony has a much more game-literate crew now, more like the early-mid-original PS1 days. Been very productive for us as a result. Hopefully it continues to build.

If there is something to learn from this Vanguard Bandits release is that you can have games with lots of licensing issues released, even if it equals to a higher price point. I would gladly pay $10 for Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete.B.K. said:He's said in other threads that there are too many licensing issues and both Lunar games will never be on the PSN.

cj_iwakura said:This would be Growlanser's time if Atlus USA weren't a bunch of fools.
Well, whoever's calling the shots is being one, at least.
vireland said:They were never fans of Growlanser at Atlus US, which is sad. I'd dearly love to do I and IV, but it ain't gonna happen.
Kuro Madoushi said:Damn you, Ireland! Damn you to hell! I got other stuff to play during that time! Why couldn't you have released it last week or this week BEFORE Skyrim? >:/
I will say though, I wish you were off doing new stuff instead of releasing your older fare.
Any chance we'll see NEW stuff being localized?
cj_iwakura said:I know for a fact this isn't true. There are Growlanser fans there, but I imagine their voices amount to little.

vireland said:Already underway. Some cool things to announce and some *amazing* things that might come to pass. In any case, RPG fans will finally get more love.
Desi said:This game has a horrible bad ending. DO NOT BUY!!!
Escalflowne SRPG was real fun though.
Dash Kappei said:I'm so glad the games publishing world still has someone as awesome as Vic Ireland in it.
I hope there will be people like him also for the future gens or I'd probably quit gaming...
B.K. said:Yes. It'll work on PS3s, PSPs, and Vita, eventually.
Drkirby said:You really need to fix your avatar Vic, GAF changed over a while to having all avatars being hosted locally.
Edit: Oh, you did. Good.
To be honest, I have never heard of this game. Any specific reason you decided to localize it at the time? Just what caught your eye?

Ken said:Oh wait. So I can go on PSN right now (North America) on my PSP, download it, and play it on my PSP?
Don't know a whole lot about how the PSN works between the PS3 and PSP so I assumed it was only for the PS3.
vireland said:You can turn the battle scenes off in the system menu to speed it up if you don't want to watch them and just want the result.
mjemirzian said:Here are some of the best turn based tactics games for the PS, which should more or less be the only ones worth playing at this point, if you're going to dig that far into tactics gaming history: X-Com, Tear Ring Saga, Panzer General, Allied General, Front Mission 2 & 3, Super Robot Wars F/FF, Nectaris, SRW Alpha, SRW Alpha Gaiden, SD Gundam: G Generation series. If you had to make a shortlist of the best tactics games on the PS, this game wouldn't be on it.
It plays more or less identical, has a lot more content, you can skip animations and increase movement speed, and it's one of the only PS tactics games with a map editor. I don't see where the problem is in terms of gameplay, and it's a solid tactics game in the PS library regardless. It does look uglier, though.vireland said:I was totally getting where you were coming from until you put Nectaris on your "best" list. The Playstation update of Nectaris was terrible. IF you want that experience, the PC-Engine version was way more satisfying. The PlayStation version of that was a shadow of the original and nowhere near the best on the PS platform.
HyperZone<3 said:waaaaaaaaay off topic, but you're proably the only guy in America who can answer. If Human's old IP's are still salvagable for reselling, what are the chances some of their other stuff from the era might come out?
Who doesn't want to see Clock Tower 1/2 on PSN? Or the PS1 port of the Super NES Clock Tower for that matter? I sure friggin do.
