Capcom seems to have forgotten about Resident Evil 2 (and 3, to a lesser extent, as even that game was featured in Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii).
duckroll said:Yeah, it's really odd. Unless Hino is cloning all his staff in a facility under the offices, I don't see how they're making WKC, DQIX, a console Inazuma, and another 3 DS titles and 2 PSP titles, all at the same time. Wait...... REVOLUTION...... CLONING...... omg it's true!
XD
In any case, color me impressed with L5 being this ambitious.

C'mon guys, did any RE fans really think Wesker wouldn't show up in RE5? March is going to be great.
Could this possibly be a licensed title? I'm sure Ghibli will have another movie out next summer and this could tie in with it. It's kind of unusual for them to do something outside of the film medium. But if Level-5 has pulled it off, I am stunned.duckroll said:
Also, you mention their workforce, but the reality is, they will be done with WKC and DQ9 soon, both of which are HUGE efforts. I reckon a single PS3 team could easily handle 2 PSP games within a smaller timeframe, or even more. It does seem to imply they are not working on any HD games though.

What about Jade Cocoon?
Edit: Rakugaki Kingdom too!
I wonder if it's also retroactive. As in, the fact that they have so many upcoming games in development and pre-production over the last year at least, could that likely account for the delays that WKC and DQIX have been facing? I've stated since last year that I felt it was sort of a conflict of interest for a developer working on contract projects to also be working on self-published title, and it seems that they really have been focusing more on their own growth and progress instead.

Considering that Level 5's handheld effors have been great, I hope that they continue down this path.
Yes, even at the cost of making console games.

Hopefully they will see the amazing sales and remake Resident Evil 2.
Yeah Right!!!
rykomatsu said:also hearing that it's mentioned in famitsu that WKC will be fullHD (1080p) and online coop is confirmed or something...the scan links died before i got to them
It's not in Famitsu, it's in Dengeki. I don't give a crap about WKC, so you're on your own!
Well, that just about kills my interest in Ninokuni then.duckroll said:
No doubt. I don't think the publishers really worry about the conflict of interests so much, though. It would be much worse if the game never came out in the end, but as long as it comes out eventually, I think most publishers are happy they don't have to do the dev themselves, along with getting a respected dev on their product.

You wouldnt be seeing all these L5 games if it wasnt for the out-of-the-gate success of Professor Layton.
The Level-5 games have some interesting ideas, hope it turns out well. 7th Dragon also sounds interesting.
I think if I didn't love handhelds so much I think I'd be kinda starved when it comes to JRPGs...
Whatever works though. The flood of them on the DS/PSP lately is still pretty surprising to me.
And yay Wesker!

Hopefully the Handheld consoles continue to be a money making operation, because I like these kind of announcements.

Kind of expected after RE0, but it still made me laugh. And Capcom will laugh all the way to the bank as well.duckroll said:
Someone needs to hook up with Level 5 and make sure all their self-published games in Japan get published internationally in a timely fashion and with good localisations. I'm guessing Japan will see Inazuma Eleven 2 before we see the first one.
Decent scores for Disaster are a pleasant surprise. Looks like the game might be more a victim of Nintendo's new focus than a lack of quality. It will be interesting to see how it does with European publications.
Capcom: shameless.

Now I am sure we will get Wii ports of the Gamecube RE2 and 3.
Which were ports of the PC version/Dreamcast version.
With were slight upgrades of the Playstation versions.
I will guess that is the next "test" before proper remakes. Or maybe we will be tested with some Code Veronica port as well before we have proved our loyalty.
The mose tests I pass, the dumber I feel.. Why is that?

Jan 2007: Ushiro, Professor Layton and the Devil's Box
Oct 2007: Danbooru Senki (Cardboard War Chronicles), Professor Layton and the Final Time Travel
July 2008: Atamania, Ninokuni, Danbooru Senki (Cardboard War Machine)

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
i'm glad level 5 aren't abandoning the PSP. I hope more third parties follow their lead.

2ch camara guy is coming
So, 7th Dragon is exactly what it looks like it is. Think DQ1 x7 with a 4 player party and DQ3's character creation system. You create characters and form a guild like in EO. Each party can have up to 4 characters, 7 classes to pick from. The conquest map at the bottom screen shows you the entire world, and which parts of the world are covered by the Furowaro flowers, and also the location of the 7 dragons. You objective in the game is to slay all 7 dragons. The graphics look like Mega Drive 2D graphics, and you can see your entire party like in DQ.
EO clone my ass. Haters am pwned.
