PALGN writes: "Following the 16-bit era, Sony systems developed a monopoly on the console RPG market. So if you wanted to play RPGs, the PS1 and/or PS2 were the only real options. In this generation, the Xbox 360 has created something of a coup by outdoing the PS3 in terms of the number of RPGs available, particularly those developed in Japan. One of the more recent ones is from Tri-Ace. the famed creators of Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile. Unfortunately, Infinite Undiscovery seems like an experiment for the developers to see how the Xbox 360 works before the much bigger title, Star Ocean 4.
With a title like Infinite Undiscovery, you're not given much of a clue of what the game is about. Believe it or not, the game is a typically anime-inspired Japanese RPG. You play as a youngster named Capel, who stumbles upon a resistance group looking to break the 'chains' that are connecting the earth and the moon. The problem with this, apparently, is that the magical energies from the moon are causing environmental havoc and monster appearances on earth. Furthermore, Capel seems to be a strange physical resemblance to the leader of the resistance, Sigmund."
The gaming community lately makes jokes about companies making games that look like "PS3" or "PS2" games. While this is such a nasty dig, there may be some truth to this in the case of tri-Ace.
Sad really. I used to love these guys but man...they just aren't what they used to be.
The Cod games have been using an engine built in the mid 90s. Nothing wrong with using an old engine if they update it. Bioshock used UE2 and looked better than most UE3 games. Arkham knight used UE3 and looked better than most UE4 games.
Sh it does suck but I enjoyed star ocean 6 the most out of any game last year. I thought it was solid af start to finish. My favorite game that year.
I'd love for Sony to get ahold of them.
To late to edit but I just wanted to add not every game that comes out needs to push a consoles boundaries. Star ocean 6 looked fairly good to me.
Yeah. They definitely squeezed every drop out of that engine for SO6. It was a fun game
I assume you are talking about "Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness" which I do have and am still playing. IMHO it is a good game but for some reason I still prefer "Star Ocean: The Last Hope" that I played on my PS3.
As a side note I have "Star Ocean: Till the End of Time" (PS2 version) which I played on my first gen PS3 but unfortunatly the Australian version of the PS3 did not have full backwards capability like the US version did. I got so far in the game and hit a bug (advancement to a new area between two mountains) that prevented further play.
During the Inside Xbox live stream today, developers from the backwards compatibility team announced that the program would sadly be coming to a close.
What a good run. Assuming every og xbox, 360, and One title will be available on Scarlett. Will make next gen transition easy. Hats off!!
As long as they continue adding more BC once the Scarlett comes out.
The current game selection on Game Pass is impressive, but it’s still missing a handful of big games.Here are the 10 most dumbfounding omissions from Game Pass.
