Although no information has been seen on the delay of Lost Odyssey, multiple sites such as Gamestop and IGN.com seem to confirm this rumor. Both have changed the release date for the game from Q4 2007 to January 2008.
This seems to be disheartening for Xbox 360 fans who were eagerly awaiting this title. Luckily, a 2 month delay isn't too bad. It's only a matter of time until this game will hit the shelves and all the gamers can enjoy this much anticipated title.
17 years later, it still stands out.
The game was indeed amazing. Great characters, gameplay and story!
But the dream sequences penned by Shigematsu were sublime.
I still remember many of these stories and I have integrated in the past in my D&D campaign many years ago.
Microsoft should have just kept pumping money into these guys. Same with a lot of the other studios... the blundered hard.
Lost Odysee deserved a franchise even though development wasn't smooth
It's not like it has had any competition since 2007. Would really like to own the short stories from it in book form.
The problem with most MS games on 360 was they didn’t make the games they paid for them and that makes you less money in the long run and isn’t something you can continue to do especially with declining sales of consoles. MS should have been starting and growing studios from the beginning but they went for paid games and it leaves them without the knowledge and culture of making games.
It’s quite hard to believe, but Lost Odyssey turns fifteen years old today. A curious product of the time, it has arguably only got better with age - and not just because of what it is, but also what it represents.
The short stories that Kaim collects/remembers are truly emotional. I remember one in particular made my eyes water.
If you've never played this, try to hunt down an original copy, or emulate it. This game was a gem.
I wish there was a remaster. This and Last Story. Sad these games were released on the...wrong platforms...
These JRPGs stand up on their own.
haha.. another one for the waitstation3... this is waiting....mmmm irony
if this is pushed to January. There are still 3 killer RPGs coming out before Christmas. Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon and Mass Effect.
One thing is for sure. There 360 lineup is looking very promising for both JRPG fans as well as WRPG fans this year.
Was looking forward to getting this for Christmas
Not a big rpg fan but this rpg definetly looked a lot more interesting to me than blu dragon and i might have bought it pending demo play. Oh well its not like its cancelled
more games for 2008, it will be a wonderful 2008 for both consoles.
I will have halo 3, bioshock, mass effect, eternal sonata, blue dragon, cod4, and some others for with fall/winter.
Granted these games do have replay value. COD4 and halo 3 will gets lots of play online.
I'm sure there are more games coming out but too lazy to post. I will gladly wait for this game to be polished or whatever they must do..
for people that put these delays on par with the Ps3, man it is more excruciating, if i was a ps3 owner.
Ps3- was late a full year or more in other regions.
PS3-games- have been getting delayed way back. Lair still not out yet..
PS3-getting inferior games not running at full speeds or just not online.
PS3- had games that were cancelled for 2007
PS3- playing catchup with the PSN features, that were standard when XBL debut.
PS3- have DEV playing catchup.
PS3- still no DEMOs while gamers wait.Demos on XBL have been crazy this month.
I mean yes s@#t happens to all consoles but no need to put the 360 in the same category.
