Top 6 JRPGs coming out in 2016 & 2017

"Announced as a PS3-exclusive titled Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy XV is the 15th main installment in Square Enix’ popular franchise. Following a very long development time, the game was renamed in 2013 and moved to the PS4 from PS3."

I'm so ready for this. It's only a matter of knowing what will the Neo offer before I decide what PS4 to buy. Because Sony said that Neo won't exceed the frame-rate of base PS4 and that's disappointing but since they have not unveiled the system yet I'm hoping for a clarification on this. Because I'm not buying a 4k tv any time soon, so the Neo would be pointless to me then if the only improvement will be resolution.

what's the point if it will not exceed the frame rate ? Single player games should have higher frame rate,unless they are pushing for 4k. but microsoft and sony will give devs the freedom to push 60 and boost graphics.

"Because Sony said that Neo won't exceed the frame-rate of base PS4 and that's disappointing but since they have not unveiled the system yet I'm hoping for a clarification on this."- well if going by the article you posted then ps4 neo could have better frame rate and resolution then the ps4, from the article;
"However, In terms of hard and fast technical guidelines for Neo rendering, Sony offers this:
Games running in Neo mode must operate at a native rendering resolution of 1920x1080 (1080p) or higher.
A game's frame-rate must meet or exceed its equivalent performance level on base PlayStation 4 hardware."

Not on this list, but 'I am Setsuna' looks very good to me as well.

As far as this list is concerned, I hope they'll include the Japanese voices as an option.

Good-Smurf3288d ago

Ni No Kuni included Japanese Audio so I think with NNK 2 they will do the same.
But I really want to see more of Ni No Kuni 2.

NukaCola3288d ago

I am Setsuna is the Chrono Trigger spiritual successor! It has caught my attention

Yi-Long3288d ago

I saw the game running on a demo-pod in Hong Kong (Tai Po to be precise), and I didn't know what it was, but it just looked gorgeous. The text was all in Japanese, so I couldn't figure out the title (store-owner was on the phone so didn't bother him to ask), but when I got home I just did a little search, and found it was Setsuna. Since then, I've been really looking forward to it. :)

Kashima3289d ago

i don't think Deep Down will ever come, they should replace Scalebound with FF7 remake or Nioh Automata in that list.

ApolloTheBoss3288d ago

Where is the release date dammit? I need this in my life.

no_more_heroes3288d ago

Most excited for Persona 5, KH3 and Ni No Kuni 2 from that list, but I'm looking forward to all of them, except Deep Down.

Movefasta19933288d ago

I would add valkyria azure revolution only if they revert back to chronicles style gameplay.

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom52d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7752d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz149118d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga118d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero117d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga117d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g118d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor117d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos118d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv72118d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos117d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel1989117d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv72117d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.
