And the Earth shook with the force of a thousand bolts of thunder...

 

[Shadow780]

Not surprised....

dual language please, you got blu-ray now.

 

[Firestorm]

wrong game

Also maybe this means PS3 can get Infinite Undiscovery too? It's the same engine right?

Not surprised....

Do people really think it's the storage that keeps games from having dual audio? Really?

[Pistolero]

Seen it on the 360. One uninspired old school JRPG...Do not want !

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Eh, there's nothing I really want that they'll bother to do, aside from a few annoying design issues (one disc, make an item/skill that teleports you to your ship for IC or something). Not interested in having even more characters and bosses. Plus Resonance of Fate is out next year and it looks much more interesting than both IU and SO4.

If true, not interested atm.

wasn't the 360 version sd res? i wonder if they will improve that.

I'd be very surprised if they did...

It could, but it won't. IU is a Microsoft IP IIRC.

 

[klee123]

Meh, can't say I'm too excited about this, would have preferred ToV getting a confirmation of a US release instead.

It worked for Last Remnant on PC so why not?

 

[MoogPaul]

SO4 is better than ToV? Right?....Please?
God...I really hope it's better, cause the only SO that I've played was SO2, and it was awesome in every way possible (aside 3D GFX).

short answer: no
long answer: nope

According to SE, it may be why dual-audio will not be supported.

 

[goldenpp72]

Cool, a shitty game for ps3.

Not much more likely than the PS3 getting Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon, really.

I hope this news is true, though I don't have 100% faith in gamefly, and it'd be especially surprising as even an eventual Star Ocean 4 PS3 port wouldn't necessarily be NA-bound, especially this early in the game. But if I were to take everything Gamefly says as truth, I'd be playing The Last Remnant on my PSP right about now.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

 

[goldenpp72]

tales of vesperia is the only jrpg ps3 owners should want off 360 (well, possible ones anyways)

SO4 was like, the worst rpg i've ever played, and I beat ES and IU

 

[JudgeN]

Vesperia PS3 is 576p...

Wat is this true? What was ES PS3? I believe they use the same engine.

 

[Holtz]

Meh, can't say I'm too excited about this, would have preferred ToV getting a confirmation of a US release instead.

So true. Do not want SO4. :/

 

[-PXG-]

:O

 

[Alex]

Infinite Undiscovery was quite the pile, you don't want it. By far the worst game Tri-Ace has ever made by a large margin.

SO4 however was very enjoyable. Good catch for people who like the series.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Sweet I will finally get to play this game.

 

[sadaiyappan]

I like sci-fi so I will try this.

 

[DR2K]

Do not make we whip out the Destiny Remake vids(Mainly because i cannot find where i placed them).

While i agree that SO4 beats out just about all the localized Tales in terms of Battle system(Except for perhaps Vesperia), several of JPN only ones(Destiny, Destiny 2, Rebirth can definitely stand toe to toe).

Unless of course we are talking about the 3d only ones, in which you are mostly correct.

I'm talking about customization, item creation, battle system. etc. . . the entire package is ahead of nay of the tales games I've played, which is all of the tales localized + hearts.

*barfs*

 

[MechaX]

Yikes. I don't think the PS3-only owners know what they're getting themselves into with this one.

 

[Owzers]

This is not the sci-fi you're looking for.

 

[DangerousDave]

Maybe is not the best RPG of this gen, but the previous Star Ocean games always has been good and deep RPG. So Europe Day 1 if it's translated, or US Day 1 import if not.

But it worries me a lot that the scores seems lower than in previous Star Ocean games.

So, I leave here a question (if a non-junior thinks the same, and wants to open a thread about this, would be perfect): Are we judging with more stringent criteria the jRPG than in the previous gen?

It give me the impression that, in past generations, games with a high grinding component, with stereotypical characters or plot, with a lot of dumb dialog or bad voice acting, or even non-impressive graphics got higher scores (from reviewers but also from users) than now. Maybe the progress of the western games in general, this gen (in terms of graphics or plot), and the success of the wRPG has changed how we look the jRPG?

 

[GeoramA]

Yikes. I don't think the PS3-only owners know what they're getting themselves into with this one.

Really? I thought everyone knew Tri-Ace is a shitty RPG developer.

 

[Kagari]

Wonder if this was the PS3 game TOSE mentioned they were doing.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Yikes. I don't think the PS3-only owners know what they're getting themselves into with this one.

From watching a friend play it on 360 I can say I will definitely enjoy this game.

 

[lorddarkflare]

Well get yourself some of the better ones in the series before we talk. But it is pretty obvious you are a SO fan and i a Tales of.. fan so this will not end well, so i will just let it go.

Seen it on the 360. One uninspired old school JRPG...Do not want !

Tell that to the forum though. Before this leak it was deemed a shit game. Now its anticipated because its appearing on the 3rd place console that the forum cheerleads 24/7.
:lol

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Cause you enjoyed watching your friend suffer?

Got to the...2nd? planet with the little stupid girl and gave up. Battles/story/music = boring and uninspired.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Wow Star Ocean 1 and 2 on PSP, Star Ocean 4 on PS3. Now people who have joined the Star Ocean like me in the past year, now would just need a way of playing the 3rd one...

 

[CookieChip]

short answer: no
long answer: nope

You broke my heart :'(

 

[icecream]

3rd place console

What? :lol

Not at all, SO4 on 360 was a mess. It seemed like it ran on like, 5 different engines, it looked good in some corridors, horrible in others, the outside areas looked washed out and blurry as shit, it even swapped resolutions and framerates during battles. The combat was fine, but the style and premise are retarded as sin, combined with a horrible save system and what not.. Let's just say, the screen shots for this game were LIES.

Horrible story too. I was so dissapointed with this game, the only thing I could think of while playing was if I could get my money back (I couldn't)

 

[Quixzlizx]

I didn't know that Gamefly leaked games that haven't even been announced in Japan yet.

 

[Loudninja]

Tell that to the forum though. Before this leak it was deemed a shit game. Now its anticipated because its appearing on the 3rd place console that the forum cheerleads 24/7.
:lol

What?anyway I am a huge SO fan,so yeah I wound definitely pick this up

 

[DMeisterJ]

:lol

Please tell me where you see the anticipation? I see a bunch of DO NOT WANT posts.

 

[Psychotext]

Did not buy on the 360... will not buy on the PS3.

Shame too, because at first it looked interesting.

 

[demosthenes]

So are the Japanese going to go nutz over this one as well?

 

[MechaX]

So, I leave here a question (if a non-junior thinks the same, and wants to open a thread about this, would be perfect): Are we judging with more stringent criteria the jRPG than in the previous gen?

Tales of Vesperia got the highest ratings out of all Tales of games released since Symphonia (Hell, the highest out of all console JRPGs right now) and it still suffers from some of the flaws that you listed, so the case isn't that simple.

 

[CO_Andy]

Do we have to wait til the end of the generation to get a Valkyrie Profile?

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Cause you enjoyed watching your friend suffer?

Got to the...2nd? planet with the little stupid girl and gave up. Battles/story/music = boring and uninspired.

Sometimes I think some of you are just too jaded to enjoy games. I saw nothing wrong. I'm a big SO fan though.

 

[MirageDwarf]

Congrats?

Spoiler

runs

 

[dramatis]

Really? I thought everyone knew Tri-Ace is a shitty RPG developer.

They're actually rather good at battle systems. It's just that their writing staff needs to be fired.

 

[Lagunamov]

I didn't know that Gamefly leaked games that haven't even been announced in Japan yet.

What? The Last Remnant Portable was announced...:lol

 

[icecream]

It's just that their writing staff needs to be fired.

They don't even write their own games anymore, they oursource them all. They just excel at finding crappy writers. :lol

 

[imail]

IM ON PS3 NOW KAAAAYYYYYYYYY

fuck this game

I was going to post this KAAAAAAAY :lol :lol :lol

Edit : For those who didn't play the game and wanna know more about it.

I finished it last month and I was SO disappointment , The only thing that kept me playing was the "Decent - Good" battle system and

thinking some characters will die at the end

.

Before you play this game you must read the following conditions Kaay
1. You are okay with a very average story.
2. You can handle the bad graphics.
3. Before you start playing make sure that your TV remote control is in reach to press Mute.
4. There are many annoying characters and {SPOILER}

Spoiler

THEY Won't Die

.
5. You are really really starving to play a JRPG and you can't wait.

 

[le.phat]

so apperantly the game sucked balls on 360. I really wonder if SE's exclusivity deals are paying off in the end, seeing as the all the hype has died down, and the perception of SO has turned for the worst they can't really expect gangbuster sales on ps3 now can they ?

 

[Audioboxer4]

It's just that their writing staff needs to be fired.
