You should see their PS1 games. I can't claim to have played all PS1 games, but Tail of the Sun is the ugliest I've got.acevans2 said:Some of those images don't look so hot for a next-gen game.
You sure about that? If consoles started and ended in Japan, PS3 would very likely be the last home console you would see from Sony. Their Japanese PS3 business is absolutely abysmal in terms of sales. I normally don't really care about sales, but when they are so low as to endanger future business, it's only normal to be worth a mention.STG said:better:
wtf is wrong with SCEA and SCEE, SCEJ is doing everything right

klee123 said:Which is a mistake. Seriously all you need to do is compare the sales of Afrika to IU and ToV in the similar time frame.
Not saying the game sucks or anything, but Sony really isn't in the position to make these types of games when they are struggling in userbase sales. It made sense during the PSone/PS2 era because they were the market leader.
biocat said:To be fair, it's not like Aquanauts or Africa required anywhere near the resources IU or ToV did.
Then again the effort put into the respective products can't be compared anyways. Or put this way: The team that is responsible for this couldn't have done a ToV or a IU in the same timeframe with the same budget. It's not either or imo, Sony needs these titles as well.klee123 said:Which is a mistake. Seriously all you need to do is compare the sales of Afrika to IU and ToV in the similar time frame.

klee123 said:I'm just trying to say is Sony should be more concerned in pleasing the hardcore gamers first in Japan. I don't think the hardcore gaming otaku would be interested in Afrika.
Artdink has many a lot of different games in the past, so they should be capable in making games like rpgs.
I see where you're coming from but there is White Knight coming out this year for instance, a project of quite a bigger scale. AH is just the PS3 version of an old concept and doesn't involve all the work which would have to be put into an RPG. Whether or not Artdink could pull off something like WK is another story.klee123 said:I'm just trying to say is Sony should be more concerned in pleasing the hardcore gamers first in Japan.

Zoc said:Thank God they made this instead of another damn RPG.
Phife Dawg said:And to be frank, the market for classic RPGs seems to be dwindling outside of the big names. You need new impulses, the tastes are changing. Catering first and foremost to a niche market like the hardcore gaming otaku wouldn't really do anything to improve Sony's situation in the market siginificantly. Games like this help to diversify the portfolio with very little effort involved.
Thanks for bumping this thread, making me think it was announced for the USA and/or Europe.reminder said:New Trailer (HD): http://cdn.jp.playstation.com/4m/pv/4m_aquanauts_full.wmv

Actually, many of the RPGs SCEI published on PS2, sales really dwindled during the PS2 era compared to PS1. If the last installments of PoPoLoCrois, Arc The Lad, Wild Arms, Legaia, and many others sold good, they'd probably continue making them. Square Enix and Namco were publishers who could sell RPGs, that's why SCEI just let them do it. Plus, it's not like new installments of these games are coming since some devs are already working on projects elsewhere (like Media Vision working on DS). If you badly want RPGs now, just get a 360 (even spamming the PS Blog won't don't much because SCEA barely cares about bringing over most RPGs from Japan in the first place (Coded Soul on PSP is still Japan only as an example, and they almost didn't bring Folklore stateside)).klee123 said:I'm just trying to say is Sony should be more concerned in pleasing the hardcore gamers first in Japan.

I believe that was sarcasm...klee123 said:What rpgs? oh you mean WKS which is the first original jrpg on the system after 2 year old 360 ports?
Yeah another damn jrpg indeed.......................
Considering the people involved with BD the expectations were high, even with the low userbase of the 360. I'm not saying Sony shouldn't go after that market, I just think that concentrating on it and canning little projects like this here wouldn't really benefit them all that much - if at all. I'm pretty sure Artdink couldn't churn out a BD-esque project in the same timeframe and with the same budget like AH.klee123 said:I dunno may it's just that when I can see new IPs such as Blue Dragon pulling 200K copies on a system which hasn't even broken a million, new IPs do have a chance.
