I wish that upon reveal, they would promise us a simultaneous release for the Japanese and US versions!

Cloudberry4887d ago

.
And Graces F English announcement while we wait for Xillia...

VsAssassin4887d ago

Or better yet, Tales of Graces F bundled with Xillia on launch!!!

Kain814887d ago

Tales of Grace F bundled with Tales of Vesperia would be my Choice..

Kurisu4887d ago

I hope this game comes to the UK (or US, then I can import) as I've never played a Tales of game before, and I really want to. I was hoping Vesperia would come out, but no :(

BillOreilly4887d ago

buy used 360 from craigslist for 50 bucks and play tales of vesperia. Then you can play lost odyssey/blue dragon/magna carta 2/in undiscovery also. Its worth getting a 360 if your a jrpg/wrpg fan as 360 has the best ones. Thats why i got mine. Best 80 dollars ever spent over 2years ago.

GameOn4887d ago

Tales of vesperia is deffo worth buying a console for. Might get a PS3 for these new ones.

VsAssassin4887d ago

As much as I want to shun the idea, I can't help it. I still hope to see Tales games to be localized! :(

Redempteur4887d ago

i kniow right ?

we tales of fans ..can still keep the hope a little and keep dreaming that someone at namco will have some INT in their stats

xino4887d ago

F**K OFF!

All these farking tales trash games!
they are all the same sh*! Fucking copy and paste and never add anything new/unique or groundbreaking.

To top it all off, they don't freaking release the game outside Japan!

Redempteur4887d ago (Edited 4887d ago )

Lol
go away troll.

If you don't see how the tales of game evolved over the year then you haven't played them

xino4887d ago

only played Symphonia, looking forward to play Vesperia but never got release on ps3 for Western!

tell me, what as evolved? over the years in terms of gameplay breakthrough, news features and unique features!

Redempteur4887d ago (Edited 4887d ago )

Simple you'll know if you've played them but for instance i'll tell you.

Symphonia ( GC )was the first Tales of game to go 3D ( a 3D area to do battles ) you can look at legendia battle system to see how it is different.

Then Abyss ( PS2 )Came and introduced the ability ( if you want ) to move freely in that 3D space. making the battles even more tactical as you have to manually move to escape Areas where a big spell is being casted ( it was quite harder to do that in symphonia ).

Dawn of the new world ( Wii ) introduced a Monster capture system complete with fusion and evolutions , allowing you to customise a team with monsters if you want.

Now that was easy ..i took 3 fairly recent titles to show you how they CHANGE their BATTLE system EACH TIME and what's more those titles got translated !!

Let's flashback ..Tales of rebirth ( PS2 ) introduced a variant of the old linear battle system ( eternia , i'll cover this one soon ) . That was before teh serie went 3D and used a system similar to fatal fury real bout with 3 planes to move to and fight. This game ,is not translated however.

So far i talked about 4 games in completly different settings with Completly different battle systems.

i could continue but i guess right now that you understand how stupid you sounded . Bear in mind that these modification change completly how you play the game.

NO i won't talk yet about Tales of eternia , with the most fluid battle system ever done in 2D . Yes more fluid than most fighting system out there , check this vid :

if you don't know.

And for the last time before you rant about something , you'd better know about it first.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies4h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

CrimsonWing6915h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker15h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6914h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt2h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos21h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto20h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8820h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies10h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
