Level 5 Working on unannounced PS3 & Wii title

At an event for prospective employees in Tokyo, Level 5 president Akihiro Hino revealed that his company was working on two previously unannounced projects for PlayStation 3 and Wii.

TheHater5183d ago

That has already been announce and it expected to release this year in Japan. Hopefully they don't take a year+ to release it in the States this time. I really hope it is release in Spring of Next year outside of Japan.

zeeshan5183d ago

IMHO Level 5 => SE. So this is great news!

hay5183d ago

I'd piss my pants if it was The Another World for PS3.

Chris3995183d ago

As long as it sells enough in NA that shouldn't be the case. And for the love of God, localize and release the game in a more timely manner. I've stated this before, but WKC would have been more favorably reviewed if it wasn't wedged between Mass Effect 2 and Final Fantasy XIII. Last year during the summer drought would have been an ideal window.

Hisiru5183d ago

If it's Level 5 you know that we will have a good game.

gaffyh5183d ago

If this is Jeanne D'Arc 2 I'd be ecstatic. The first one was by far the best handheld game I've played.

Fox015183d ago

Lets hope it's as good as White Knight Chronicles.

Fox015183d ago (Edited 5183d ago )

"IMHO Level 5 => SE."

Not this again...

Can you tell us why?

xTruthx5183d ago

Have been enjoying WKC with my friends lately, there r room from improvements in the game but I'm enjoying it a lot so far. Don't see how it got so bad reviews tho.

The Great Melon5183d ago

@gaffyh

I don't think we'll see another Jeanne D'Arc considering the story; however, I would love for them to produce another srpg in the style of Jeanne D'Arc. There is plenty of history out there that you can embellish with mythical creatures, magic, and anime. Jeanne D'Arc was my first srpg and I have been trying to find another game that will meet my high expectations in the genre.

SL1M DADDY5183d ago

It was given bad reviews because most of the reviews were done by those that spent only a couple hours in the single player game and never really examined the online portion of the title. In the end, the game is more for the online and less about playing off line.

tetsuhana5183d ago

Because SE hasn't made a good game since 2001.

KozmoOchez5183d ago

play final fantasy tactics, as it is better than Jeanne D' Arc IMO...just doesnt look as good. The battle system is pretty much the same exact thing except they are random and you have a chance for rare battles

gaffyh5183d ago

@1.9 - Yeah, that's the only problem, I'm sure they could make up a story if they wanted to though :)

@1.12 - I hate SRPGs (tried Disgaea and FF Tactics), Jeanne D'Arc is the only one I actually liked, and not only liked, but I think it is one of the best PSP games (top 5) I've played.

Noctis Aftermath5183d ago

@gaffyh: you tried Valkyria Chronicles on ps3? it's a great SRPG.

CimmerianDrake5183d ago

Dark Cloud 3. Pure and simple. Either that, or Rogue Galaxy 2.

TotalPS3Fanboy5182d ago

the next game in Sony's Play-Create-Share genre.

Play the game, Create towns, characters, monsters, items, missions, and Share them online.

A next gen create-your-own-rpg game.

Dark Cloud 3,plz!! and make it as great as DC2 :D

prettyboy15183d ago

right dark cloud was 1 of my favorite rpgs of all time a next gen game would be more then welcomed to rpg lovers every where

TooTall195183d ago

Dark Cloud 3 would easily be my most anticipated game. The first 2 are my favorite RPGs, and online Co-op would make the levels to collect georama even better!

AKS5183d ago

You read my mind. I'd love for one of the projects to be Dark Cloud 3.

-Alpha5183d ago

By far one of the BEST RPG's I've played. Dark Cloud NEEDS TO COME TO THE PS3!

Come on Level 5, it's leagues ahead of WKC!

Karooo5183d ago

TheHater5183d ago

another flop incoming flop comment.

danm you ps3hasonlyflopgames stop make flop comments.

Karooo5183d ago

ps3 games have been winning goty awards and best graphics and this guy makes a really idiotic username, ps3hasonlyflopgames yeah right.

level of trolling has really dropped nowadays.

N4PS3G5183d ago

@Kartik

Since when is 1 year and 2 months = 2 year old game? Go back to school

Get over it...the game could have been new and it still would have sucked..even the old imported reviews were bad

Razgriz5183d ago

According to metacritic and gamerankings no JRPG on X360 passed 80% mark anyway lol. Biggest flops are LR, IU and MC2. And PS3 got Disgaea 3, Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls. Think harder, man.

Bodyboarder_VGamer5183d ago (Edited 5183d ago )

No matter how hard these guys try at the end they always get owned.

Sigh5183d ago (Edited 5183d ago )

Since when is a 5 month old developed game like the flop that is Halo:OSTD a brand new game? It's halo 3 reskinned.

hatchimatchi5182d ago

I wouldn't consider it a flop until we see the sales figures. Besides, I bought the game and I'm absolutely loving it. I couldn't care less what reviewers say is and isn't good. All I can hope is that WKC sells enough in NA to warrant the sequel being released here. WKC has an audience, is it a big one? I'm not sure, the online community has been great so far though.

Besides, WKC is a jrpg game. It seems like nowadays reviewers are on a witch hunt when it comes to the jrpg genre. The majority of the jrpg fanbase is happy with age old game mechanics, most of us don't want drastic changes to the battle systems and the way the maps are laid out. It worked on the nes/snes and it still works on the ps3/360 it's just that non jrpg fans are reviewing these games and are bashing them because they prefer WRPG games and in most cases hate level grinding. I personally love level grinding, I find it to be extremely rewarding.

To each his own.

I must see more and in fact scores first

devilhunterx5183d ago

Have you ever played any other game other than Fable 1 and 2?

Bodyboarder_VGamer5183d ago (Edited 5183d ago )

This must be a joke. Seriously, I thought you were dead!

Labwarrior, the legendary troll! He's the only one that could top Nas!m from back in the day. That if really is him and not some noob using his name though... This guys it's so incredible that he kept trolling the first WKC stream in justintv in 2008 for an entire day. That's how devoted he is, so, don't take him that seriously. He have been banned from so many websites that he couldn't do any other thing that come to the PS3's Outer Heaven! aka N4G. =D

Give me Dark Cloud 3, and I shall be complete.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil4d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing693d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle3d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa3d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing13d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
