White Knight Chronicles Unboxed

Sony and Level-5 will be launching White Knight Chronicles on the PS3 on February 2. Acting as Level-5's first RPG for the PS3, there is a lot of hype surrounding the title. White Knight Chronicles is, essentially, the first major RPG to land on the PS3 until Final Fantasy XIII releases on March 9.

Sony sent the retail build of the game and there some pictures of the casing, instruction book, and disc art for your enjoyment.

Commander TK5192d ago

ME2 r the real RPGs this year. F*** FF13.

PLAYSTATIONGENRATION5192d ago

This and FF13.....Are on my hit list

gamingisnotacrime5192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

When i read something about FF 13 like " it does not have towns because it was too much work", i loss interest in FF 13

on the other hand WKC seems to be here to do justice for the RPG fans on the PS3 side
PS3 exclusive line up FTW!

@ below
you sir have a date with the gaming angels, great list!

JoySticksFTW5192d ago

Between this, ME2, and FFXIII (Yes, I'm still getting it), I'll be in rpg heaven 'til maybe summer hits

with a little intermission from Heavy Rain & GoWIII :)

4pocalyps35192d ago

i think you people have either forgotten or not heard of resonance of fate. that game is going to oooowwn!

But can't wait for this game as well xD

ThanatosDMC5192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

I'm skipping this game and FF13. Watch the gameplay vids in youtube and i couldnt stop thinking about power rangers or Ultraman Ace.

Watch White Knight vs Dragon. Combat is slow and laughable.

It's almost like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

This is WKC online: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Rush5192d ago

Sadly being in Europe I don't get my version of the game until the 26th. I just hope I have enough money for this and FF13. Because being a Final Fantasy fanboy White Knight is going to get the push if I don't :/

xTruthx5192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

ThanatosDMC ignore those vids, did u ever see the demon soul's videos ? they looked real boring but when you start the game, you realize all those vids you had seen, where from the beginning of the game and that's y the vids always show a knight hitting with a sword only. You should just rent em and see. I recently got bayonetta and i really cant see how this game got 9's and 10's, personal opinion tho. But yeah the lack of towns in FF13 was really surprising, not gonna buy it now tho. Ill just rent it, i mean come on... free rpg games currently on pc even had towns, SE is really getting lazy

ThanatosDMC5192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

Oh well, i'll wait for you guys to tell us how it is.

Redempteur5192d ago

unless it's a true action rpg ( tales of for example ) rpg vids are boring ...

why ? because you want ..no you have to be IN the action to feel how the game is ...

like getting the games earlier. Do you guys notice the punch holes in the bar code? I really don't know why they do that and I think is stupid.

Somnipotent5192d ago

they do it so you can't resell it... they did that with demo copies of cds back in the day as well. the game disc is still in tact and playable.

Blaze9295192d ago

It's just so that they make sure journalist aren't making money by re-selling something they get/got for free

skip2mylou5192d ago

its so tht people dont get free things and then try to sell them back again to make a profit. they did tht with socom confrontations tht was bundled with the headset. the actual box wasnt punch holed but the game case was

jc485735192d ago

All i know that they ruined the art cover.

skip2mylou5192d ago

ur stupid man just shut up. its not like your gonna get a free copy of WKC. its only for people who got the game for FREE SO THEY CANT RETURN IT TO A STORE AND SELL IT.

Drab5192d ago

This game is pure OwNaGe!....If EVERYONE buy this game unless u hate RPGs for some reason. Sony and Level-5 have been very good to consumer with this one. NAs get extra content including voice chat and the ablility to create your own town(Dark Cloud style). Plus FFXIII won't be out til March 9 hehehhe.

DrWan5192d ago

I guess there is nothing stopping ppl from manually punching in the code if they have another one sitting on the shelf.

TheBand1t5192d ago

Not only will this game have Towns, Square Enix...

But you can make your own in multiplayer.

Blaze9295192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

with all do respect though, this game doesn't graphically hold up to FF13 so you can't really compare the two on how much work would need to be done/was done for towns.

EDIT:

@TheBand1t. I'm not saying SE is correct. I'm just saying comparing this game to FF13 is pretty stupid...

*sigh*, come on 9000 disagrees. My soul slowly fades away with each disagree ¬_¬

TheBand1t5192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

Okay, then what of Mass Effect 2? That game had some nice graphics, and you can explore the frigging galaxy.

At least ME2 and WKC are doing something different.

EDIT: I know it's not going to be a graphical powerhouse of a game. Shoot, it's a 2008 game that we're just now getting. Still, wtf? SE had YEARS to get FFXIII going, and now it's half-baked.

FamilyGuy5192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

People act like this game doesn't look last gen with HD graphics or something. This game runs in 1080p because of how little polygon and texture work was involved. It is no graphical benchmark and FF13 completely blows his game out the water visually.

The cutscene in this game are really nice though but the graphics are like putting Dark Cloud one through an HD filter.

I'm getting this game (from amazon so it won't be arriving "day one") but not as any sort of FFXIII replacement that some of you seem to be hinting at.

My RPG list:
Star Ocean 4 (PS3 only owner)
Resonance of Fate
Neir (rpg ish?)
FFXIII
White Knight Chronicles

camachoreloaded88065192d ago

The friggin galaxy? You make it sound like every single planet has its own city just waiting to be explored. The majority of this friggin galaxy you speak of are numerous planets that can be scanned for resources, and that's it.

Memorable Music in Gaming #21

Chalgyr's Game Room writes:

I am kicking things off by going back to a familiar well here - with a song from the Neverwinter Nights soundtrack. This is still arguably one of my favorite music scores in a video game ever, but I decided to lead off with it and then create something of a theme as I decided to pull all of this edition's songs from RPG games.

Neverwinter Nights (PC) - Battle - Forest Boss

I touched on the somewhat mystical quality of another Neverwinter Nights song last week when discussing City Docks Day. There were a lot of really good battle tunes in this one, but the Forest Boss song always stood out in my mind. The battle itself was not even the most memorable one, but right around the one minute mark, it reaches an epic level that just stuck with me.

The ten last-gen games that should have "HD Remasters"

Digitally Downloaded writes: "Below are the ten games we'd like to see make their way to the new generation of consoles this year. Or, perhaps, game collections that could be pulled together into a single disc package for even better value as we have seen other recent HD/ Remaster releases."

B-But FFXII isn't last-gen. I'd love to see it remastered regardless though. Brilliantly fun game, I just disliked the story unfortunately.

hkgamer3380d ago (Edited 3380d ago )

story was ok, but very unlike the other ff storylines where there is a clear villian.

i just want the game for vita/ps4. international zodiac version would be interesting to play but i hope that the original glitches(?) are still there.

i had more fun breaking the game then playing the game properly.

would also be cool if they added dual wielding. would make some rare weapons actually useful.

MrSwankSinatra3381d ago

I really would like to see a HD Remaster of both Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword. Those games deserve to be in HD

Relientk773381d ago

Are you saying that they could make Ni no Kuni look even better, because I would like to see that.

hkgamer3380d ago

they could easily make that game look better. just make it as detailed as the animation. the 3d models had a lot less detail.

not saying it didnt look nice, just saying it could be improved a lot.

DougLord3381d ago

NONE - lets keep remakes to games from 2-3 gens ago!

PeaSFor3380d ago

what i want to see:

Patapon HD Collection
FFIX & FFVII Remastered
MadWorld HD
Thrasher:Skate&Destroy HD
EA Skate series HD
Lumines Collection
VibRibbon remastered
Mario Galaxy 1&2 Remastered
BF1942 Remastered

WheatBread3381d ago

Screw that we need new games
