He's not talking about the quality of WKC. When he first mentioned this PS4 project he said that their goal was to surpass WKC's scale. Basically they just want to make a very large and epic game.

Q: Is Summer Lesson also enjoyable for girls?

A: The development team has girls that are enjoying it. Although, there are a lot of them that say they want to see a hot guy in it.

I love Japan.

On topic :
While WKC was somewhat of a mess I always felt as they aspired to reach for the stars. Wouldn't mind seeing a follow-up.

 

[Lady Gaia]

Considering WKC is the worst game they've ever made that won't be too hard.

That's a bit harsh. Did you play WKC2? The first was a coherent masterpiece by comparison.

 

[Stone Ocean]

A weapon to surpass Black Knight?!

I wonder whats going on with the game considering it was a no-show at both E3 and TGS.

 

[FireCloud]

I really enjoyed WKC. Started WKC II but didn't get very far into it. I'm not sure what happened. It either didn't hold my interest like the fist game or something else came along and I just never got back to it.

I especially liked the online component of WKC. Had fun and met some nice people along the way.

 

[Lucreto]

Ni no Kuni 2 at PSX will bring the house down.

Are Studio Ghibli back to work or are they still on closed down?

The game will have a new artstyle if they make a sequel.

 

[Ashodin]

I LOVED WKC. Give me more Level 5.

 

[Flarin]

Ni no Kuni 2 at PSX will bring the house down.

Tears will flow. There will be many tears if that happens.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

WKC had so much potential but it was not to be .
hopefully he does much better this time .

 

[wrowa]

"I believe we'll anounce it" but maybe not, who knows! With all that Youkai money I might just keep it for myself!

 

[Flarin]

That's a bit harsh. Did you play WKC2? The first was a coherent masterpiece by comparison.

It's more of a commentary on how awesome the rest of their games are. WKC is a real stinker compared to Layton, DQ8 and Ni no Kuni.

2 was worse? Need details.

 

[Omegabalmung9]

If they can make a game that looked close to the first reveal of WKC, it would get me super excited.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Ni No Kuni 2?

That still should happen.

 

[Canis lupus]

Remember when Yokai Watch looked like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNhdtGJdqNU ?

Gimme that on PS4.

 

[Shin-Ra]

• Offline focused
• Good character design and artists
• Vibrant world

That would be a solid start.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

next year e3 is my guess

 

[Philippo]

Good thing is they're working on two PS4 projects

Spoiler

if Verendus is to be baleed

, which means that the endless NNK2/DC3 believers can keep on dreaming.

 

[squall211]

Well, it's not hard to surpass WKC. What a mess that was.

Also watch how people take the YW on Sony platforms answer as it's actually happening.

As mediocre as those games were, I sunk a ridiculous amount of time into the multiplayer quests.

 

[Datschge]

I think WKC is shorthand for "a Playstation project we wouldn't publish on on our own but as long as Sony pays us to develop it..."

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

I didn't even know WKC2 actually released in the west.

 

[kagamin]

How was WKC Origins in comparison to the other titles?

 

[Jigorath]

Ni No Kuni was pretty successful in the West so I'd assume they're working on a sequel.

Of course, I'd prefer Dark Cloud 3 but I don't think they'd be working on a Sony IP.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Well that's not exactly a high bar

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Yokai Chronicles (PS4) - The game to surpass White Knight Chronicles.

Spoiler

I think Hino really has his head up his arse if he thinks WKC was a good game.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Meh, I enjoyed WKC. It was not perfect, no. but it was a fun little RPG adventure. Wish they didn't shut down the online on part 2.

Looking forward to the new project.

 

[TimeEffect]

Friends, you have no idea how badly I want Dark Cloud 3. I would give up gaming for a whole generation if I could just see a sequel. I can't die without having Dark Cloud 3.

I need it. It's the one sequel I want

 

[djplaeskool]

I loved WKC/WKC2.
Bring it on. I want to GR grind for a couple hundred more hours...

How was WKC Origins in comparison to the other titles?

Not bad, but hamstrung by being on PSP.
It was a series of knife fights in phone booths due to constant room loading.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Was supposed to be announced at E3.

Then everyone thought it would be announced at TGS.

Now nobody knows what the fuck is happening.

Also, fuck WKC. Throw that shit into the garbage bin where it belongs. They should try and surpass NNK.

 

[Gbraga]

It's more of a commentary on how awesome the rest of their games are. WKC is a real stinker compared to Layton, DQ8 and Ni no Kuni.

Whens Layton WiiU?

 

[Veldin]

"You're guaranteed to stay awake this time"

"It will be better than the last one in a way"

 

[Shogun1337]

Give us fucking Dark Cloud 3 already

 

[Riki]

Rogue Galaxy 2!

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

i still want a proper True Fantasy Live Online.

what's taking them so long?

 

[Wagram]

Rogue Galaxy 2!

The one franchise that needs to be brought back is Rogue Galaxy. So good man.

 

[shintoki]

Talk about forgetting a company even exists

Best RPG from the PS2 Era.

 

[LtOrange]

Personally loved WKC's online mode. I know I'm in the minority, but I hope their ps4 game is heavily focused on multiplayer.

 

[sublimit]

Wow so much unfair hate for WKC in this thread. Sure the game wasn't something mind blowing but it wasn't as bad as some people try to make it look like either.

Anyway i'm glad this new project still exists and they continue working on it.

Sometimes incredibly lacklustre/mediocre = bad reception.

 

[Megawarrior]

I would happily accept a White Knight Chronicles III.

And look like the CG cutscenes.

 

[Philippo]

Everyone was disappointed with WKC because the initial reveal was wayyy more appealing.

 

[Moon_frogger]

I'd be down for this. Loved white knight chronicles. super fun and lots of potential for improvement on next gen hardware.

 

[Barakov]

Rogue Galaxy 2!

Honestly, it's probably too late for that. It's a shame since that game ended on quite a cliffhanger from what I remember.

Surpassing WKC will probably be not that hard. If this new game of theirs ever releases that is.

 

[sublimit]

Talk about forgetting a company even exists

Its ok. I think L5 will manage even if you forget them. Pretty sure that the millions of people who buy Yokai Watch (and its merchandise) know that L5 "exists" lol.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Need the future of Georama.

 

[Exentryk]

I'm just sad that the way he talks about it makes me think it won't be NNK2 (

 

[Memento]

What about the game that was supposed to be announced at E3? Is it this one?

Where is NNK2? Why cant I have nice things?

 

[Arxisz]

Surpassing WKC... such greatness. Way to go Level 5.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I'd take another DQ from them. Or another Dark Cloud.

Otherwise, I think they're one of the most overrated Japanese devs, and their recent console outings (RG, NNK, and WKC) have all been mediocre to bad. I hope they can reclaim what made them good, though I can't put my finger on what it is.
