And plus why buy a straight port if it's already on PC?

From 2D-2.5D to full 3D. That is not something I'd call "straight port".

It's being handled by Image Epoch. It's basically their game with SEGA publishing.

Ew.

Scheißekopf is being speculative; you can't really count on whatever facts he might have on hand, because they're not always factual.

Who knows whose idea the game was originally? Masato Kato had a story draft six months before the game officially got the greenlight. It may have been Sega's idea in the first place, whereupon they commissioned Image Epoch for the development. Either way, Sega appears to be fully behind it, which is why they're also doing a manga and anime for it. And most of the creative roles for the game (story, music, character designs, sprites, monsters) are all being done by people outside of Image Epoch.

BTW, what will Sakaguchi do when this one is closed to be released ? Announce another batch of games coming to the 360 ?

Blue Dragon II! <3 <3

It's a collaboration. The game is fully in the hands of Image Epoch, the franchise is in the hands of Sega.

In about 45 mins, we should all be looking at the awesome new IU site. I can't wait!

OMG and after that, DQ5 blow out in the next issue of Famitsu :O

*goes to IU site*

*notices it's still the same old site*

*shakes his head*

I gave you the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Kyoufu]

WHERE IS MY IU UPDATE?!

 

[duckroll]

We've gone through two 12:00s in Japan now. Time to grab the pitchforks.

I have the pitchforks.

[Magicpaint]

THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY

 

[duckroll]

Shooterbox indeed.

I love it.

And will love it even more once I get a J-360 or some way to play them on my US one.

Yes, that is why people classify the new game as a 'remake'. If they had just ported the game directly from the PC to the PS3, it would be hard to justify buying it.

Wish there is a freeloader for xbox360.

I have been thinking import a Jxbox or buy another modded xbox 360 to play those Japanese shooters.

Fate/Tiger Colosseum Upper (PSP)

The strangeness factor of some Japanese games never ceases to amaze me.

Misono did 2 tales games, I was hoping she'd do this one

3 if you count Symphonia (she was the lead singer of the band that did the songs for the two Symphonia versions.)

btw, we're slow. Apparently 2ch knew about Otomedius G a week ago when it went on Konami's site... 6780 yen seems to be the asking price. Hope it comes out soon... the three player online versus stuff looks cool!

No, we're not slow, you just don't read GAF enough anymore.
