When is Iga going to do the right thing and release a 2.5d Castlevania on PSP?

is that so far from the truth? level 5 is a good developer on this side of the looking glass, but that doesn't begin to tell us what they'll do on ds. kojipro goes from mgs to the nikkei. snk goes from kof to rape rape preschool. nintendo goes from zelda to all kinds of noxious bullshit. etc.

Do you really believe this?
Every week in Japan, PSP is either 2nd or 3rd depending on what PS2 is doing.
"Selling like Shit"? :lol
Well obviously.Amir0x said:i mean nobody is gonna buy PSP games, so no reason to make anything elaborate. Be glad level 5 is making an SRPG at all, in fact sugarhigh
Level 5 has never made an AVG before: "I'm cautious, it'll probably be shit like every other DS game."
Level 5 has never made an SRPG before: "Wow, it'll be awesome like every other PSP game."
They're making Jeanne d'Arc for SCE, so obviously the financial backing is in place. They're publishing this DS title by themselves, so it makes sense to make a smart platform decision, does it not?

Oh, absolutely DS is the right platform for money. Also "SRPG" is still an "RPG", and Level 5 always makes awesome RPGs. Level 5 has never made anything related to an adventure game from what I know, and bringing in a brain teasing guy to direct seems a little...I dunno, I guess I need more details like I said. This could go either way, conceivably. If it's a string of brain teasing puzzles or something, that'd be lame. If it's a neat sort of Myst-esque thing, but with Level 5 at the helm that may be cool.
Well, Jonny certainly nailed it.
Look, they never made an SRPG for -- but when Jeanne was announced, that was one of the things I found most interesting about it. "Okay, Level 5's never done an SRPG, and they're a creative group, so it'll be nice to see them apply their ideas to that genre."
Why is adventure any different? I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do.
It's an adventure game. That's been stated quite clearly. Adventure game != Brain Teaser game. He's also not "brain teasing guy," he's someone who designs puzzles -- which, again, are rather central to adventure games... no? Wouldn't solid puzzle design be considered a plus, since they typically make or break the games?
Akihiro Hino is still producing and doing the planning on the game. The reaction is expected, but still disappointing.

And even i am moderately surprised
huh? i'm a little lost here - he's directing the puzzles, what with his primary skill area being puzzle design. Artists , musicians, directors, writers, scripters etc.... these are all used in games to enhance the experience - i really can't see how this is a bad thing.
I'd like to see video games get more help from the outside - especially for storytelling/scripts/voice acting....
DCharlie said:
It says he's the directing supervisor, doesn't say he's JUST overlooking the puzzles. The entire game design, presumably, is directed by him. We'll see, though! It's true I'm always cautious when approaching DS games these days because of the systems history, so when some game is announced - from a developer I love, no less - directed by a guy who typically has nothing to do with videogames, I pause.
