In a startling twist, Insomniac's Ted Price and Brian Allgeier are pretty keen on the idea of both new IP and current generation games that launch in the same year as a next generation console. Could they possibly have a vested interest? And on an unrelated note, what do you think of Fuse?
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
If the 720 were to launch next year, then developers still arent going to ignore the 70 million install for the advantages of nextr gen.
This really comes into play with staples like Call of Duty and the EA franchises.

...providing they're not chopped-down, broken versions of next generation releases.
I agree with mr. Price. Plus I dont expect a Mass exodus to the new consoles when they launch for various reasons. "Hardcore" gamers like myself will get them, but especially with Sony's support of new IP's this late in the ps3's life, cant see me even giving up my launch 60G anytime soon!
I'm not so sure. Historically I think that's it's only been Sony consoles that have continued to sell large amounts of their older console when the new console launches, possibly partly because it's usually taken most developers a while to get used to the difficulty of coding for Sony's consoles- so even if there are loads of early adopters they still keep their older Sony console on standby in the early months too. Fortunately for Sony gamers, by the time there is a great range of games, the console price is very good.
People have their preferences but the Xbox has generally always had a few attractive first day exclusives to encourage people to buy the new console early.
However the Xbox360 has been seen as much more of a mainstream success so perhaps people will be comfortable supporting it for a bit longer - just maybe not as long as they do with Sony consoles.
Based on that headline then, no backwards compatibility in the 720. Also, how would Insomniac know?
