Level 5 Vision Brings New Games, Trailers and Screenshots, But don’t Get all Hot and Bothered Yet

Today Level 5 held its annual “Level 5 Vision” conference, traditionally home to new announcements and new games, but if you’re a hardcore JRPG fan, you may want to sit down point a fan at your face before you get a conniption.

Yeah, don't we all wish...

We can very well mourn the death of Level 5 as a relevant JRPG developer.

ShugaCane3888d ago

I wouldn't be so harsh. Ni No Kuni is still one of the best JRPGs this gen, but I admit I don't like how they're favoring mobile gaming or other lame franchises. I use to like Layton games, but now I'm really tired seing a game every year. Enough !

Abriael3888d ago

@ShugaCane: I perfectly agree that Ni No Kuni is one of the best JRPGs this gen, the problem is that there's nothing like it in sight. Ni No Kuni was released years ago.

ShugaCane3888d ago

You're right ! I would love to see another DQ VIII or Rogue Galaxy, quality-wise. Those games were dope.

pivotplease3888d ago

Unfortunately being one of the best jrpgs in this generation means very little. This decline is depressing. Maybe square will go bankrupt again and have a new ip be their final hope and it will actually turn out to be amazing. Then the cycle will repeat. Or maybe the warriors of light closed the loop once and for all. I apologize for the obscure and corny reference.

trenso13888d ago

@abriel are you serious? Ni no kuni was released earlier this year! How is that years ago. Level 5 is doing fine imo and to try and down play them by saying on the best jrps by them was released years ago, when it was only early 2013 is absurd.

2010 on DS in Japan, 2011 on PS3 in Japan

AznGaara3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

I really hope that Wonder Flick isn't that game they teased for Ps4 back in April. Ni no Kuni is so good! If they give the port as much production value that they gave to porting Ni no Kuni DS to Ps3 I'll be happy again but idk.... Guess there's always Project Phoenix lol

itBourne3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

I want a Dark Cloud 3 soooo bad. I wish Sony would at least give me an hd bundle of the first 2... something. Ni No Kuni was fantastic, but Dark Cloud is unlike anything made. Even Rogue Galaxy, while great was just like a Dark Cloud tease.

LemyAtom3888d ago

It's a shame that this leaning towards mobile and free to play is happening within bigger developers in the industry. Am still kind of hoping when Shahid Kamal FINALLY announces this so called huge RPG that will have us playing for hours that it's by Level 5. I don't even feel we can really trust Squeenix any more, though FF XV does look like they may finally get some of their magic back, even if it's not a traditional RPG.

The incredible sports games exclusive to Japan

Never mind Winning Eleven, these are the awesome sports titles that need to be localised from the East already.

Level-5 PS4 RPG Featuring Nobuo Uematsu Music: Cancelled?

"Wonder Flick, a Japanese RPG by Ni no Kuni developer Level-5, was originally for mobile systems, but was also announced for release on most current consoles, highlighted of course by the two most powerful among them, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This was about two years ago, then nothing happened. Today, the company has posted a notice that service for the mobile version will be terminated in September." -PSLS

That's not a positive sign at all. :/

Would love some Level-5 on my PS4.

bouzebbal3265d ago

never heard of this before today.

DarkOcelet3265d ago

If the insider is to be trusted. Then Ni No Kuni 2 will be revealed at E3. Which would be sick!

sonerone3265d ago

Would be flippin' awesome

bouzebbal3265d ago

that would be pretty big..
i have seen that insider's tweet, it's too big to be true.
i'm more hoping for revivals of old franchises during this e3.
so much potential in the old franchises.

Relientk773264d ago

I will flip out if we see Ni no Kuni 2 at E3 and will get it day one.

comebackkid98913264d ago (Edited 3264d ago )

Not partial to catch 'em all's, would prefer Dark Cloud or a new ip.

blackblades3265d ago

To be honest I forgot about this game, it's not confirmed is it.

MegaRay3265d ago

Wait. They cant just cancel it silently >:(

Mikefizzled3265d ago

Level-5 games announced on Xbox:2
Level-5 games released on Xbox: 0

I don't think this means its dead though. I know Insomniac shutdown Outernauts on Facebook/Kongregate but later brought it to iOS and Android.

DonkeyDoner3265d ago

service end in september for smartphone
so yeah this game got cancelled
been waiting for this game on console though

tyranex3265d ago

It didn't look great anyway.

It has not been announced for 3DS???

SidebarTalk3299d ago

Um...it was announced for the 3DS. I mean, the smartphones are the big news, but it'll still be on the 3DS.

yuukiliu3299d ago

Then why don't they have it listed? To me this picture says, it will be on iOS and android.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3298d ago

best to wait as it says 2015. We may have a 3DS version next year

yuukiliu3298d ago

I'm pretty sure they canceled the 3DS version, they announced it last year or something for 3ds, ios and android. Now they talk about it at this hugely 3ds centered announcement party and they removed 3ds from the image. The Japanese says 2015年夏(summer 2015) サービス開始予定。(scheduled to begin service) this sounds like a f2p smartphone game. The only time I see サービス(service) mentioned in gaming is when they are talking about f2p or mmo.

Hoffmann3299d ago

Bring it to vita and the tv consoles already too.

wheresmymonkey3299d ago

7 probably wont end up on them, but i'll be really surprised if the orignal DS trilogy of games doesn't get a VC release on WiiU eventually.
