Famitsu: Level 5's PSP game revealed (LOLZ PSP'S NOT DEAD?)
- Thread starter Jonnyram
- Start date
Some additional notes:
- Since this is a strategy RPG, that battles will still tend to be longer than a normal game, but they're trying to balance the pacing with each stage being 10-30 mins long.
- There's be about 40 or so stages with extra ones (branching? secret?), so there'll probably be at least 50 different stages in total.
- There will be over 150 characters in the game.

Definitely sounds more like a NiS SRPG rather than a SRPG like SF or FE.duckroll said:
I'm sure he's confusing it with another game, no need to attack him.Heian-kyo said:Bomba?! What the, it sold close to 400k-... Oh I see, you meant GAF bomba. Indeed you are correct then, my apologies, L5 really should be lucky anyone gives them more than 500¥ and some Pocky.

Unfortunately this time he's right! I checked and Rogue Galaxy actually did much better than Dark Chronicle, so I guess SCE is happy.
After the sales of Brave Story and Monster Kingdom though.... I'm not sure how much chance this game has in Japan though. COME ON SONY WHY ARE YOU NOT LOCALIZING YOUR SOLID ORGINAL PSP RPGS TO THE US WHERE THEY ACTUALLY SELL?!?!

Even...even better than Dark Chronicle 2?
Oh I didn't mean to make it seem like I was attacking him. I actually thought he was joking, since so many seem to think if a game does less than a million in Japan it's teh bomba, so I meant for my response to be in jest as well. Sorry duck, didn't mean to offend.jj984jj said:

whatever happened to that game nippon ichi was supposed to announce today?
Amir0x said:Wait then what was Dark Cloud 1 named?
Well, anyway... Dark Cloud 2 deserved more I say. Much more!
Dark Cloud JP -> Dark Cloud US
Dark Chronicle JP -> Dark Cloud 2 US

Oh I'm not offended. Anyone who hangs around in sales threads know I kinda suck at it anyway. :lol

You mean the horror text-adventure game they're making in collaboration with some other company that was revealed last week and no one cares? :lol

i never heard that. i thought the big reveal on thier website was for this week.

Yeah but there was a small blurb last week that no one gave a shit about. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3816519&postcount=431
Children of Mana's stylish intro visually blows this (and many regular anime) right out of the water. You won't see many jaw-dropping anime sequences in games, I do admit, but this is among the lowest of the low-tier. I mean, we're talking almost Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow level here.kenta said:
If the gameplay is absolutely outstanding as Castlevania's was, then I can of course overlook the art. But as of now it's a turn-off for me. Three things can sell me games - crazy awesome gameplay, crazy awesome storyline, or crazy awesome artwork. Preferably some combination of the three.
The story sounds Genji-level ludicrous, and the artwork is DoS-level awful, so that leaves only one chance for redemption.

you're drawing a lot of conclusions from a barely legible scan.
I don't need to see the nitty gritty details of the anime to realize that the actual style sucks.sugarhigh4242 said:
And the storyline summary has already been transcribed in text, so I don't know what you're getting at there, because those are the only two things I've complained about.
Like I said, fantastic gameplay will warrent a purchase from me. And if Level 5 delivers that, as they usually do, I'll buy it anyway. What's the problem?
Zyid said:
Ah I see you've seen these horrible terrible anime sequence. Please tell us more.
They look to be done by Studio 4 Degree C who did all the celshadeded 3D FMVs for Rogue Galaxy, and they look more breathtaking than anything Square will ever do, much less on a portable.
I was addressing the style they chose, of course I haven't seen it in motion.duckroll said:Ah I see you've seen these horrible terrible anime sequence. Please tell us more.
I'll freely admit that I'm not familiar with Studio 4, but you're clearly not familiar with the makers of the CoM intro. Square didn't do it internally - it was done by Production IG.duckroll said:
That is the same studio that did Ghost in the Shell 2, a finalist for the Palme D'Or award at the Cannes Film Festival, which lost only to Fahrenheit 9/11 (arugably for political reasons).
The Jeanne D'Arc style is generic and uninspired. It may animate better (we can't yet tell), but that's just about the only advantage it'd have over CoM's animation. That's my opinion, and you don't need to attack one of the finest animation studios out there over it.
I hope they'll put everything from PS2 games plus some extra stuff.icecream said:Thank you
If it's just a full priced port, then shame on them, but I'll hold out to see if perhaps they'll... do something else?

Nice style or not, another game I write in my PSP 2007 list
Btw, X360 is getting some really japanese games...maybe there is still hope?
Btw, the RPG I mentioned earlier for X360 (tba in TGS) is just in the rumour column, don't blame me if it doesn't exist...

YEAH EXACTLY LOL!!! :lol :lol :lol LET'S INSERT SMILIES SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WRITE A REAL RESPONSE!!! :lol :lol :lolduckroll said:
If you think that those Jeanne D'Arc stills are better than IG's work on CoM, and don't even have the excuse of ignorance, you simply have shitty taste and a love of the generic. What more can I say?
But we're getting way off topic here, so I won't be posting in this thread anymore. If you'd like to continue, feel free to send me a PM.
Ok, that was pretty awesome to see Zyid explain to duckroll (of all people) who IG is, considering they're, like, the most well known anime studio throughout the world, rivaled only by Ghibli. Awesome indeed. I thought the CoM sequences wasn't even done by IG's main house either, but by XEBEC or Bee Train. Am I wrong?
Anyways, 4C did the cinemas to RG? Shit man, that cements my purchase even more.

With the anime? Nothing, it's good fun as most shows at that timeslot have been. I'm just talking about the animation itself. Most Blood+ are average at best in visual qualities.
duckroll said:I dunno dude, I'm just as confused as you why he thought that no one hear knew what Production IG was.
I believe jj984j is talking to me.

This thread has turned into a nerd battle of a different sort.
Blimblim said:I'd agree that the character design was nothing to be proud of, but thankfully the rest of the anime was anything but subpar
On the contrary, the design was meant to be pretty much the definition of generic moe designs. I enjoy the show, but come on, throwing words like "generic" around is stupid just because they look like... anime characters. I mean shit, Production IG does every single one of the Tales openings too, that's pretty damn GENERIC! :lol
Totally agree with you Blim. Sometimes the characters looked okay (the beginning sequence), but sometimes they looked like absolute ass (that fight against those jumpy robots).Blimblim said:
duck just dropped the Haruhi bomb though, so this thread is gonna get real good very soon.
Not that he's wrong though, as even though I like the show, there's no argument the art is rather bland.
