GameInformer: White Knight Chronicles Hands-On Preview

GameInformer writes: "White Knight Chronicles is an unusual beast. On the surface, it's a straightforward role-playing title, with the expected mix of daring heroes and princesses in need of rescuing. At the same time, the game plays host to an extensive multiplayer component that exists largely separated from the story, in which up to four friends can work together to tackle a number of designated quests. The two components are united by the large open game world through which you'll wander in both single- and multiplayer excursions. The real-time, turn-based battles and extremely large areas that make up that world are reminiscent of a massively multiplayer game in scope and style. We had the opportunity to play the first several hours of the single-player game this month, and got a good feel for the game's combat, story, and skill system."

and i love this game, i will buy the EU-version if it arrives here...

infamous-butcher5236d ago

I wish I had done that. I lost all intrest in the game arround E309. I was waiting for ages for a jrpg to play. Then FFVII came onto the store so I got that instead. If there going to take there sweet ass time localising the game Im going to take my sweet as time to buy/rent it. Unfortunatly due to the mass of releases in 2010 (FFXIII, ME2, GoW1/2/3, GT5, FFXIV, Heavy rain) I wont beable to buy it. I have higher priorities than this. Also I need to catch up on some 09 titles. They lost 1 sale from taking their time without improving the game.

DViOUS1ONE5236d ago

I've been waiting for this game for awhile and I don't care if it's the regular save the world/princess type story because I haven't played any RPG games at all. I played Oblivion, Fallout, and Dragon Age Origins, but I don't count those as RPG's I want those RPG's I played as a kid and you know tried to get everything on the game. This is day one for me I can't wait

Myst5237d ago

I think Sony should release it right now as a Christmas gift to us instead of us having to wait until next year February :(.

raztad5237d ago

You know that would make MUCH MORE sense than releasing the game that close to FFXIII and some other heavy hitters. Game sales are gonna suffer.

ExgamerLegends25237d ago

My birthday's in February. So it be a nice gift for me regardless :)

Myst5237d ago

@raztad: It does, but so far working for business it seems anything that does remotely make sense will not be listened to majority of the time. At least the business I work in.

@ExgamerLegends2: Same, mine coincides with Heavy Rain though :/ if it still releases on the 16th.

Overall though thankfully Capcom at least moved LP2 and MHtri~ back because those were two games I was going to get, but now I'm at least saving roughly 120.00 for the meantime.

Blackcanary5237d ago

second that this game has got me so hyped up. And it's coming out around my birthday this is like the best b day gift i could get from me to me lol (^^)

Myst5237d ago

Okay since all these birthdays are in February fine wait till February :p lol.

GameGambits5236d ago

My Bday is on Feb 17th. The game HAD a release date of Feb 16th, but now it's Feb 2nd. Either way I'm going to get it as a gift for myself day one. :D Glad to see us February guys unite around WKC. :P

Myst5236d ago

Too many February people :p!

Feels like a flop, plays like a flop, it is a flop.

TheHater5237d ago

FLOP? Every JRPG on the xbox 360 has been a flow so far. This game outsold all of them alone in Japan.

nefertis5236d ago

How is this game a flop? why because its not on the 3fixme? Play3beyond

Limited_Vertigo5237d ago

The time this game has taken to be released in the states is appalling. Sony really dropped the ball on this one, there is no way this game makes as much as it could have if it had been released in 09.

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.

hkgamer3386d ago (Edited 3386d 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.

MrSwankSinatra3387d ago

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

Relientk773386d ago

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

hkgamer3386d 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.

DougLord3386d ago

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

PeaSFor3386d 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

WheatBread3386d ago

Screw that we need new games
