More 360 RPGs TBA?

Microsoft is holding an event in Japan next week called the Xbox 360 RPG Premiere 2008.

[TheMART]

That wouldn't be a real surprise.

Blue Dragon, wasn't it said to be a trilogie from the start? So I guess BD2 will be here soonish.

Some new RPG IP's will come also. But what exactly... We'll know soon

[heyheyhey]

they said there would be LO sequels too

[green]

We should hopefully get some new info on Mistwalker's next JRPG for the 360 CRY ON.

[Maverick_]

I still want to play Lost Odyssey. I never got the chance and I think it will be much better than Blue Dragon. I didn't like Blu Dragon at all.

[1stKnighT]

With the Blue Dragon anime being such a success, I'm sure the sequal will sell better. Remember, FF didn't get popular till Part 3.

[Jamie Foxx]

360 has had BIG FRANCHISES such as devil may cry,ng2 a few rpg's all in japan an not one of them in japan you could call a success sales wise and multi-plat devil may cry sold much more on ps3 than 360 in japan,360 is like flogging a dead horse in japan,its time to be realistic.

NG2 20,000 sold that is catastrophic numbers by any developers standards

look at mgs4 pre-orders alone for the CONSOLE bundle is over 500,000 in japan alone fact!thats not including the solus game sales pre-orders

if i were microsoft id concentrate on on the USA as thats really where their bread is buttered but it will be intersting to see how much closer ps3 will be to 360 after june 12th as everytime theres any mgs4 bundle it sells out within minutes.

microsoft should have used that wasted 50mil on getting mgs4 rather than dlc from gta because june 12th could be the day the console race really turned. and thats coming from a neutral gamer who likes a console race as we the gamers benefit

[Mr_President_]

Final Fantasy was always popular. Thats why they made FFII, FFIII, FFIV, FFV, and so on and so on.

[Jamie Foxx]

no your not for a start.

you talk like a constantly post negative comments about 360 when true 360 owners on this site will tell you i dont,i get alot of agrees from 360 owners because im neutral,and keep it real,your reply to my comment proves you cant argue against my points so you post fud like 'oh im making negative comments' no im being realistic but you carry on looking through your rose tinted glasses i just thank god you dont work for microsoft,a company needs to know when their making mistakes just like the comments ive posted about sony when their making mistakes does that make me a fanboy against sony to?

EDIT: GLAD TO BE A GAMER- what has killzone slipping,or cancelled getaway and 8days got to do with 360's failure in japan?pot kettle...because your making negative fanboy comments against ps3,i never made negative fanboy comments against 360 and by the way killzone slipping is a good thing because resistance 2 is out near the end of the year,just like gears of war is out around the same time which means both console owners have great gaming ahead from september

[The gaming GOD]

It sure wasn't a success in Japan. And the American media doesn't even consider it a success in the U.S. because of the sales.

So can you explain what you mean by success?

[Light Yagami]

The first Blue Dragon didn't do any good. It only sold about half a million copies, which is disappointing since it was hyped as a FF killer. Also, the game wasn' that good.

[Obama]

Stop lying XD. The blue dragon anime is not a success.

[The Lazy One]

Why should we all care how well they do in japan? Just because they won't sell well there doesn't mean I won't have a blast playing them here.

[user858621]

I hope lost odyssey gets a sequals the story is just brilliant!!

[Maverick_]

Why so they acn all sale like crap? Doubt it. Not one RPG on 360 has sold well. Even Mass Effect could only sale 1.5 million. It's just the truth. Why put PRG's and JRPG's on a platform first that sale them like crap? I know most will be moved to PS3 after anyways but they all sale lke crap on 360. No RPG's have even broke a million except Mass Effect.

[ericnellie]

I've got to disagree with you big time!! Just because a game dosen't sell over 1 million copies doesn't mean they didn't sell well or didn't make a profit. Most RPGs on the 360 have been selling fine.
Lost Odyessy sold over 700,000
Mass Effect sold over 1.9 million
Oblivion sold over 2.4 million
Blue Dragon a over 500,000
Those look like okay numbers to me;)

The only exclusive RPG for PS3 (Folklore) only sold 180,000
Oh and other than Oblivion, I can't think of a single PS3 RPG that sold over 1 million either.

[Mr_President_]

Folklore wasn't really an RPG. Good game but not an RPG. And you can't think of million seller rpgs on the PS3 because there are no rpg's on it outside of Oblivion (Enchanted Arms don't count). That drought FiNAllY ends in 2 months though.

[PS3MAN85]

You call a system being out for 2 years with not one single good exclusive RPG a drought? I call it sad!

[Mr_President_]

it is what it is dude

[Maverick_]

Sorry, I forgot about Oblivion...I was tlaking just about Exclusive RPG's. RPG's don't sale that well on the 360 and it's not a secret to anyone including Microsft. That's all I'm saying. I'll still play them... I don't see when not even one JRPG on the 360 has sold one million...how can they keep getting more? I dunno. Or why would they be getting more. There has to be an incentive to the publisher. These games don't sale well on the 360.

[ChrisGTR1]

if they were on ps3 theyd sell nearly 1/2 as many just cause of install base. + 360 is easier and faster to develope for. thats why infinite undiscovery is being made for 360, and why ff14(?) is still in development for ps3 and wont come till 2009

[Dark_Vendetta]

I guess they'll show Cry on and Infinite Undiscovery. Maby 1 new RPG

[Mr_President_]

i hope they release some info on Last Remnant. Maybe they'll finally announce a release date? but with my luck it will probably just be some mistwalker titles

[Glad to be a gamer]

So much for the 360 being a fps console.

I own 15 games for my 360 at the mo and 2 of those are shooters Gears/Halo.

Hope both LO and BD get sequels love a bit of traditional jrpg. infinite Undiscovery look great so far fingers crossed 4 this one. This and 2 human will hopefully make me a happy 360 gamer this year. Silicon Knights have the pedigree i just hope they don't do a Free Radical on us.

Wonder whether there will be any suprise announcements?

[Cyb3r]

Hope all of the RPGs announced make it to USA and Europe

[Macho Man]

OHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAHHHH! And here Macho Man was thinking the PS3 was the place to go, given the RPGs on that there PS1 and PS2, Yeah. Looks like I'm gonna have to come out of retirement to afford myself a RexBox 631, YEAH! AND I'M GONNA HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

[timmyrulz]

Macho man yur slipping, your forgot to say dig it!!!!!

[Sayai jin]

Man I never thought the 360 would be the RPG mecha. I men there are alot of RPG on the 360. No variety, huh! I can not wait to get some good RPG's for my PS3 too, I know they will be coming soon.

[aplusjimages]

There is an audience in America for RPGs on the 360, but for some reason M$ test the market in Japan, where they don't want anything to do with the American game console. If M$ brought these games to America, then they would have some better success.

edit: Mass Effect sold 1.6 million within the first 6 weeks, not 1.5 million for all time. I can't find an all time total though.

[Marty8370]

Waste of time, and money.

[Pain]

.

[End Of war 2]

no 1 cares about the slit eye chinks tbh

[GENJI HAZE BOTH FLOP]

true plus did u know that haze + genji 2 = flop

[-Angel-]

I've played some of RPGs released for the X360:
Enchanted ARMS - it was okay.
Eternal Sonata - I like it for the multi-player (reminds me of Secret of Mana(SNES))
Lost Odyssey - story and battle system were my favorite.
and Mass Effect-it was a pretty good game.

However, in my opinion, I wouldn't call them great games. their replay value isn't very high to me. I always expect the PS3 to have the best RPGs due to the fact that a lot of them appeared on the PS2.

[Boldy]

Are you kidding me? I'm already on my 4th play through on Mass Effect, and plan to go through it a couple more times.

[gnothe1]

quote from angel( I always expect the PS3 to have the best RPGs due to the fact that a lot of them appeared on the PS2.) see that word EXPECT. thats the problem alot of people have. they EXPECT the PS3 to have certain games or do certain things BECAUSE its a PLAYSTATION. people EXPECTED the PS3 to launch an destroy the 360, it didnt happen. people EXPECTED most game to look an run better on the PS3 because they EXPECTED it to be more powerful, but than aint happening. just like you EXPECT the PS3 to have the BEST RPG's when in fact they have the least amount of RPG's. many people EXPECTED the PS3 would be the system with the most variety of games when in fact thats not the case, its the 360. so people shouldn't EXPECT things to be a certain way because of the PAST.

[-Angel-]

Of course I'm expecting, I learned that you can't be certain of something especially when it's related to video games, for example, certain games when released don't always rise to our expectations. While others, turn out to be a lot better than expected.

I might be right, and I might be wrong, but I think that after MGS4 is released, maybe we'll see some other games, maybe RPGs, who knows?

[Reibooi]

New RPG's for any console is good news in my opinion. There hasn't been enough RPG's this generation hopefully that will change soon. There are still a few games that Sakaguchi-san talked about awhile ago that I would like to see come into existence but we will have to wait and see what happens at the event next week and E3 later on.

[LaChance]

they show cry on.

[Angelitos]

I'm tired of these 360 rpgs.

[Darkiewonder]

Good news. JRPGS on the next gen console were real limited. I'm glad Microsoft is getting some more JRPG for their gaming portfolio. I don't really care at this point because the lack of JRPG on the ps3 is embarassing. why? You wait for one or 2 titles while at LEAST there ARE JRPG for the 360 even if it IS mediocre Ps2 had its share of good and bad JRPG but you know what. they got them.

[thehitman]

It took 2 years for a decent RPG to release on the 360. RPGs are not like fps games that are created every other month. They take shyt loads of times to develop. KH took over 2 years to make and thats a ps2 game. Square is the only company that spits out quality rpgs and they have 3 in dev for ps3. Sony also has an exclusivity deal with NCsoft so there will be tons of mmorpgs in about 2 years hitting their way on the ps3. PS is most know for action adventure games and they have been giving their share of those consistently know good RPGS usually come once every 3 years.

[The Lazy One]

Square stopped making great games a long time ago. They still make good/decent games, but nothing as great as what they used to make.

And it only took 360 a couple months for it's first good RPG Oblivion.

[SpecialSauce]

dont care for them at all and im not just saying that because PS3 like none. I really do just hate them.

[socomnick]

Xbox 360 home of the Jrpgs.

[shadowghost752]

PS3 home of the JRPGS- see Final Fantasy and White Knight Chronicles

[pwnmaster3000]

yeah microsoft is just adding rpgs, but how about the other genre. they keep making average rpgs. no matter how hard they try sony can send 1 rpg in japan and micro send like 5 ones, but sony's rpg will sell more and be better.

micro keeps on announcing to win japan over but the only people who is gonna go to the that thing is people who likes the 360, but if its ps3 you will see hella people there even 360 fan.

i think they should wait and try to win that tokoyo game thing

[hideo kojima]

I'll be adding my share to 360 now that pos movie is done

[PS360WII]

I'm with most of you. The more RPGs out the better. There are is an okay selection of them on the three but I want some more! ^.-

[specialguest]

During the last gen, the XBox was criticized by some for lacking the Japanese titles, especially JRPG. Seems like MS listened and made some changes. Now the 360 seems to be the King of RPG in terms of numbers right now. Congradulations!

[Nevers]

just got a kick outta some of the comments on the site itself...

[NinjaRyu]

Hope we here about new J-rpgs IPs!
