I hope it's worldwide by the end of fiscal.

That's not going to happen

 

[StuBurns]

I really doubt that.

Me too, but I hope.

 

[Nirolak]

I hope it's worldwide by the end of fiscal.

The reason they're probably releasing it in the same fiscal year as Dragon Quest is because they think the Western sales of FFXIII will be large enough to make up for it in the next fiscal year, especially considering the relatively small amount of PS3s in Japan right now versus 360s and PS3s worldwide. At least that'd be my guess.

 

[Captain N]

Katamari PS3? cool

I just cannot stop looking at this

I can't either which is the reason its my avatar.


This thread will be getting refreshed until there are some new details on Katamari.

[Dali]

Too bad it's not real Katamari. No! This is just a tribute.

 

[Defuser]

Hoping for Sixaxis support for Katamari.

 

[xfactor]

Nomura Interview

need moar info!

 

[TreIII]

Saw the scans of Ys 7. It's looking quite good!

 

[t3nmilez]

oooohh...

I'm not sure why anyone would be excited for another Agarest game. Not likely to come out in the west, and it's really not that good of a game series. Considering it's coming out so soon after the 360 version, I highly doubt they've taken the time to revamp it.

 

[yankee666]

Ys 7 Yeah!!!! some good and original RPG for the PSP . (im still moar than happy with my ds for rpg but i wanted some good ones for the PSP).
Btw wich games is project wich???

 

[xfactor]

this is weird

2 Jpn blog sites report that Agarest Senki Zero are scheduled for June. Its only in the scan that it says TBA

 

[comedy bomb]

Wii releases are looking pretty grim over there. Here's hoping something of value is unveiled at GDC.

 

[MarkusRJR]

They really need this game for the Wii. Make sure they put a new device that hooks up to the wii remote that looks like a little ball for hamsters.

:lol

Spoiler

Imagine a Katamari game with balance board or motion plus support.

So, it's a brand-new game and not a remake/port of the first two?

=/

 

[H_Prestige]

Bah, I was hoping Nomura would give an update on what the hell is going on with Versus.

 

[thuway]

I hope it's worldwide by the end of fiscal.

:lol End of 2010, MAYBE. We have to port this to 360, localize it, and bug test.

 

[StuBurns]

Bah, I was hoping Nomura would give an update on what the hell is going on with Versus.

I take that to mean he didn't.
Lame.

I want that game above all others... Well, not more than Trico of course... Ueda, you are god.

 

[jiggle]

DQ9, FF13, and KH:BSP in the same fiscal year :O

 

[StuBurns]

DQ9, FF13, and KH:BSP in the same fiscal year :O

And hopefully The Third Birthday.

Get that shit out the door.

I don't know what it is in the interview either :lol

I just assumed he said nothing remarkable if the only bullet point in the OP is the "FFXIII scheduled for this year" crap. But I gotta hope there was more to the interview than that.

 

[WYWY]

Agarest Senki Zero
- PS3/RPG

Knowing the pedigree..... sad to say, do not want.

Katamari Damacy Tribute

It's Scamco. Not expecting much except a visual upgrade. And do not want unless via PSN.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

According to an interview summary I read, if Nomura had to give the rate of development, it's at about 65%.

 

[Kagari]

According to an interview summary I read, if Nomura had to give the rate of development, it's at about 65%.

Heh.

 

[jeremy1456]

Woo. FF13 to be released in japan this year or do they mean fiscal year? ;o

This fiscal year? :lol

I'm going to be pretty surprised if FFXIII actually is released in 09. Heck, at the rate it's been going I wouldn't be particularly shocked at an early 2011 release.

 

[H_Prestige]

According to an interview summary I read, if Nomura had to give the rate of development, it's at about 65%.

SE needs to slow it down. They're going too fast.

 

[MrDaravon]

I hope it's worldwide by the end of fiscal.

Didn't they already say that FFXIII wouldn't be hitting US until next fiscal year?

 

[Dead Prince]

This fiscal year? :lol

I'm going to be pretty surprised if FFXIII actually is released in 09. Heck, at the rate it's been going I wouldn't be particularly shocked at an early 2011 release.

I just want something. but i'm going to just forget the game even exist at this point.

 

[t3nmilez]

According to an interview summary I read, if Nomura had to give the rate of development, it's at about 65%.

Wow, a little over halfway done! At this rate, it just might launch before the PS4...

 

[sixteen-bit]

keita takahashi am cry

 

[Loudninja]

nvm

 

[Narcosis]

This fiscal year? :lol

I'm going to be pretty surprised if FFXIII actually is released in 09. Heck, at the rate it's been going I wouldn't be particularly shocked at an early 2011 release.

With all the execs saying 2009 in Japan, I think they'd have some serious answering to investors if they kept delaying it.

 

[Nirolak]

Wow, a little over halfway done! At this rate, it just might launch before the PS4...

Well, you have to understand percentage complete doesn't flow at a linear pace. They have to first get all the technology up and then decide how to actually go about making something first.

A good example of this is RE5, which was only 60% done after 3 years but finished the last 40% in less than a year. It's also why sequels come so quickly since they don't have to go through the whole ground up technology part again.

That's not to say that their rate of development is anything but horrendously slow, just a note that you can't take a percentage and do math like that.

 

[rhino4evr]

someone feed me Katamari Info!

 

[jeremy1456]

Dragon Quest IX will keep execs happy.

You gotta figure that if it's ONLY 65% and we first saw the game three years ago (meaning that it was in development even before that) then it's gotta be pretty far off.

Unless of course Square-Enix are willing to rush it out unfinished. I doubt they'd do that with their biggest worldwide franchise though.

That is quite true. Still, I highly doubt it's coming out this year.

 

[B.K.]

Wouldn't they? That would give them the perfect excuse to do Final Fantasy XIII: International in Japan six months after the American release.

 

[jeremy1456]

The way I see it they're going to do FFXIII: Internation regardless of whether the final product is rushed or not.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

There are more PS3 news/games than the DS ?

 

[xfactor]

I don't know what it is in the interview either :lol

Its an interview for FFACC

 

[Defuser]

SE needs to slow it down. They're going too fast.

Wrong. They took damn long to finally get their story finalized, the team screw up their workflow that even Nomura's team have to bail them out. Slowing and delaying any longer will be bad for them.

 

[grindamasta]

OMG Katamari :O PSN?

Edit: So, I've seen the scan and looks like a remake of the first Katamari...

 

[duckroll]

So Infinite Space is due in Japan on 11th June, and there'll be a full site renewal this Friday. Looks like they'll be releasing the second anime short soon too.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

OMG Katamari :O PSN?

Edit: So, I've seen the scan and looks like a remake of the first Katamari...

Can anyone confirm this? Is it a PSN game?
