Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King Review - IGN

The classic PS2 JRPG comes to 3DS, managing to retain its greatness in the journey.

Excited2play3036d ago

One of my all time favorite RPGs. The music was awesome and the story really gets you in the feels in places.

I highly recommend it

nitus103036d ago

I still have my PS2 version and it is a good game.

The game is turn based but you do have the choice where you can micromanage your party (up to four) or control one or more members with the other party members automatically fighting or healing. You can also change your settings on the fly when you confront stronger enemies or in boss battles.

another game im adding to my collection.. I read there was no 3D on this one though... I wonder why.. Its for the 3DS after all

BlaqMagiq13035d ago

Probably because a minority used it. TBH I never used it to the point I forgot it was even there. Pokemon Sun/Moon don't have and that's one of the 3ds's finest titles.

This game is going to be awesome. Still need to beat DQ 7 first....I'm about 15 hours in so it's going to be a while, but then I get to play DQ 8.....which IMO looks even better than DQ 7.

Link between worlds is a steal at that price. Would have grabbed DQ as well, but just grabbed at locally for dirt cheap, luckily.

I wish LBW would port to Switch

5 RPGs that need to be Remade That Don

Paul writes: "As much fun as it would be to play A Link To The Past, there is no way that Nintendo would allow that to be remade for Microsoft’s black box, so even though it had a massive effect on me as a younger man, it won't appear in this list. But other than that, here, in no particular order, are the five RPGs that I'd like to see remade that don't include the words "Final" or "Fantasy"."

When I read the headlink I was sure about Chrono Trigger....what a game?? Secret of Mana was epic too!! The rest I have not played yet.

ecchiless2173d ago (Edited 2173d ago )

games i would love a remake and sequel , vagrant story, crono cross, xenogears(fuck xenosaga and xenoblade), legend of dragoon, parasite eve.

edit: and persona 2, eternal and sin, i need that remake so bad

notachance2173d ago

ooo yeah xenogears, back when xeno has dark and serious story and none of that weaboo underage big breasted characters

indysurfn2173d ago

legend of dragoon, parasite eve I liked the first two xenosagas a lot ESPECIALLY the music by Yuki Kajiura!
Thats my girl (DREAMING OF COURSE).

Anyway as far as overall games, legend of dragoon, parasite eve, and skys of Arcadia for the win!

Retroman2173d ago (Edited 2173d ago )

Go to Releases.com.
Legend of dragoon is a up coming PS4 title.
I kid you not.
I was hoping to find New ratchet and clank title and
Stubble on Dragoon title.

SilverDemon2173d ago

Secret of Mana already got a remake

I heard it wasn't so good

SegaGamer2173d ago

Dragon Quest VIII does not need to be remade. If anything, I would take a HD remaster of the game, but it doesn't need a remake.

deathtok2173d ago

Exactly. Up-res the PS2 version and include quality of life improvements from the 3DS.

meep3162172d ago (Edited 2172d ago )

not up-res, change render resolution and its done. Its a simple config change that can be done easily with an emulator. Heres how it looks at 1080p https://www.youtube.com/wat...

indysurfn2173d ago

LOL yes I would agree. Especially if it is ffVII type of remake.

meep3162172d ago (Edited 2172d ago )

Only if they dont insult my intelligence by calling it a "remaster". this is how it looks with render resoltuion changed to 1080p, this is just a config change. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

it could use a little ui work though.

ElementX2173d ago (Edited 2173d ago )

I would like to see Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos and Stonekeep remade. They were pretty good back in the 90s but I dunno if the game play would hold up today, they would probably have to get rid of the old grid movement system.

Razmiran2172d ago (Edited 2172d ago )

I think theres still a niche place in the market for grid based games
That said, Id kill for a throne of chaos remake
Never played stonekeep, should I?

killswitch802173d ago

I would like to see a complete remake of Grandia II

Zeldafan642173d ago

I believe Grandia I and II are already being remade.

Nebaku2172d ago

Is 2 better than 3? I've only played 3, and LOVED the battle system, but the story and world were as cliche as a ps2 rpg could get.

Lazyeye792173d ago

Arc the Lad was a fun game. Would like to see that remade.
