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.
Never mind Winning Eleven, these are the awesome sports titles that need to be localised from the East already.
"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.
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.
The newest professor Layton game has been announced for 3DS as well as smartphones
Dark Chronicle 2.. :(
Rogue Galaxy please
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
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.
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.
