[Blasphemy]

Good news for PS3. The good games are starting to come in. It's only a matter of time now before PS3 takes 360.

[ruibing]

I'm a big Disgaea fan for its hardcore gameplay and humour. I've got the two PS2 releases and the upcoming PSP rerelease. I can't wait for the third installment.

[achira]

haha one game canceled for the 360. they will cancel them all, because 360 is dead in japan. have a lot of fun with the 1000. shooter, hahaa.

[ericnellie]

You guys are killing me;)

[vaan]

Dark Cloud 3
Angel Rings (working title)
Dark RPG (working title)
Eternal Sonata (yes I know its on 360 already)
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy Vs XIII

D I S G A E A III

And how about
Shadow Of The Collossus 2
Gran Tourismo 5
Little Big Planet
Sing Star
Wip3out HD
endless possibilities...
Oh and since when was MGS a shooter?

I can't wait for these and they are none of them shooters.
Good times being a fan of ALL game types when you own a Sony. Sorry XBOT.

[ericnellie]

I'm not an Xbot -- read any of my posts. I own them all and love them all. All of the "working titles" you named don't stand for sh1t. I'm talking right now or near future. You've mentioned games without release dates, official titles, or hell they don't even have a release year for a few of those buddy. "Show me the money" -- I'm tired of waiting for stuff. I'm talking the foreseeable future knuckle head. My post also started out with the words "AS OF NOW" -- it's the truth. As of now a lot of the games everyone (including me) is looking forward to on the PS3 is a shooter. Go to any discussion on this site and everyone will praise games like Haze, Unreal Tournament III, Metal Gear Solid 4, Call of Duty 4, Orange Box, Area 51, and Killzone 2. Now if you and your boyfriend wanna sit around singing George Michael songs playing sing star -- have at it;)

What would you call MGS 4? Go to any game sight and they'll put it in a shooter category. You shot stuff in the game retard and it's centered around combat involving stealth and GUNs AND SHOOTING. Don't tell me you'd consider MGS4 and action adventure RPG or something.

Now don't get mad at me because you're mom's an xbot and she's f-ing your neighbor because he has a Nintendo Wii!! Go to hell!!

[lonestarmt]

I have to agree with Vaan. Yeah all those games you mentioned are hyped and ps3 owners can't wait for them, but thats not all there is. There are soo much more than that coming, thats why this whole no games arguement is even more silly. Look not everyone is a shooter fan, I love shooter games, but i love J-rpgs more. If you dig a little bit you can see there are tons of games coming down the pipe that are not shooters. Since 360 people only care about shooters when they look at ps3 all they see are those and they go ah thats all, but there wrong thats not all, there is sooo much more variety on sony's console, its just they don't care for those type of games, and thats ok, but nothing wrong with loving those games too. MGS has shooting yeah, but anyone who plays it will tell you, most stages if you play really well you won't even shoot your gun. You can almost play the whole game besides boss battle never firing it, if your good, its a stealth game, there is much more too it. Rachet and clank has shooting, but there is more than that to it, there is tons of platforming in it, anyone who plays tell you that. Uncharted, its more of an adventure game, not just shooting, go to game trailers and there are entire videos of him just solving puzzles and making really cool jumps. You don't just start a stage shoot everything, watch a cutscene fight boss, next stage shoot everything and repeat. Thats the difference here. You can't judge a book by its cover. One day i might buy a 360, planning on it in the summer drought months, but thats why I"m a bigger fan of the ps3, there is more types of games, more variety in their games, better chances of niche titles, and sometimes more in their games for the most part.

[YoMeViet]

wow you called him gay because he corrected you..real mature.
oh please please please don't get me back with another of your catchy comebacks like "guess what....you're gay!!"

[ericnellie]

No -- I called him gay becaue he called me a dumb @ss; and who are you to call someone immature when you're willing to stoop so low as well. I admit, I may be a little immature and take cheap shots but a mature person like yourself shouldn't come DOWN so low as to name calling. you're belittling people for doing the same thing that you are willing to do;) Nice job!

Okay -- now we've all lost focus!! Let's get back on track, we're all gamers and obviously we are all passionate about gaming! It wasn't right for me to say what I said and he shouldn't have talked sh1t either;) It's all good! The point is, none of us can wait for this game to come out and FPS will make an appearance on all consoles as well as all other types of games, some more than others!

[PS3MAN85]

now i will finally agree with you on your last statement. we all like this game and want it to come out on PS3.

[sonarus]

i see your point ericnellie. I dnt have anything against fps. i personally prefer 3rd person shooters because the gameplay includes a lot more than running and gunning. for me to really enjoy an fps it has to bring something new to the table besides jst guns cus to me all fps are essentially the same. ps3 will probably end up with more variety of games at least frm the trend thats already following.

[THE_JUDGE]

is not and never will be a shooter!!! If you even imply that I question your sanity!

[ruibing]

That was pretty much uncalled for and offensive...

[Charlie2688]

WOW that Disgaea 3 is coming FAST...SWEET

I hope they went all berserk with HD special effects and all :P

[Marona]

Thats not all, if you've seen the trailer at the end it tells you "Over 400 hours of gameplay" XD

<- will probably die from addiction like it's first.

[Seraphim]

So.... If NISA doesn't have it's hands to full or their heads up their ass then we'll see Disgaea 3 by next Fall in the US. Fantastic!!

Warms up Disgaea Hour of Darkness in the mean time and Disgaea 1/2 on my PS3. ;)

[vaan]

Does that mean shipping in ENGLISH January?? Or just in Japan?

[[email protected]]

believe me... just Japan :'(

[Mattguy]

Well it said "ship" in January so yeah uhhh english January. Man this is so awsome this game is going to COMPLTETELY kill my social life for all of jan and feb. Really hope I can still make time for all of the other amazing games coming but with this being disgaea of all games soul claiber and killzone and such, well there going to have to wait awhile sadly.

[patriotZero]

360 first game cancelled next game RE5 for 360 cancel

[DrWan]

wouldnt count that on that, anything with a wide American audience, i assume will stay in development. Alot of smaller Japanese makers are sticking with the PS3 though, which makes good sense. Their core base is in Japan, American exports just accounts for the 'extra' income i guess (especially for a game like Disagea, sort of a niche title over here, but hugely sucessful in japan)

[cloud360]

Best Turned Based Rpg

[FirstknighT]

Disgaea who?

[Mattguy]

Xbots wouldn't ever know or care about this incredible game, just try to bad mouth it for not having the best graphics-bloody trolls.

[solidt12]

Wow

[AllroundGamer]

never played Disgaea before, i like turn based games the most, but strategic turn base games aren't really my cup of tea (but i finished Jean Dearc on PSP and it was a good game).

[malingenie]

Was one of the best games I played this year. It turned me on to FF
Tactics which I loved too and also pot Disgaea in my radar.

[TheMART]

WTF is Sangoku Fuushin?

PS3 fanboys going crazy over one game that is rumored to be cancelled, compared to all those not even announced for the PS3 because they don't see future in it?

Like C&C3, World in Conflict, Ace Combat 6, Splinter Cell: Conviction... could go on and on, but this means a lot more to me then Sangoku Fuushin - toilet flushin'

And the PS3 has Diarea 3 or should we say Diarrhoea 3 announced? meh

[Marona]

http://xbox360.ign.com/arti... lol....

[Mattguy]

"And the PS3 has Diarea 3 or should we say Diarrhoea 3 announced? meh"

Wow how clever /sarcasm

You'd have to be a rabid xbox fanboy to seriously believe ace combat and splinter aren't comiing to the ps3, oh wait. And why would they have made a splinter cell all ready for the ps3 if they "they don't see future in it?"

P.S RTS's are crap on consoles

[Scarfy]

I do enjoy Mart's postings.

He is so blinded by his own fanboyism he has lost a grip on reality.

The PS3 will have taken back first place by Jan 2009. Seriously, just wait. It'll happen.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

C&C was actually a blast on the 360, you snobby d'bag.

Not saying I wouldn't prefer it with a mouse and keyboard though...

[pilotpistolpete]

Oh Marty, do you even look at what you post? So you don't know the game; therefore it sucks.

If you really don't know what these games are, then why did you come post here? It couldn't be because you like to flame. No,that's just too petty for someone of your highly regarded stature.

[mesh1]

this game no 1 has ever heard of and sonyfanboys are hyping it up.

[Mattguy]

Uhhhh disgaea 3 or sangoku fuushin? I know sangoku isn't being hyped(at least in america) hell I'll admit to not having heard of it but if your talking disgaea-well ofcourse someone who only ever plays halo on his xbox and has no real taste in games wouldn't have heard of it.

[lonestarmt]

yup, this is THE reason why I prefer ps3 over the 360. I love variety, I love japan, and I love rpgs. Only rpgs that will every come on the 360 will be lost odyssey types, not diseaga, la pucelle, phatom brave, soul nomad type games. Shoot they won't even see yakuza type games. You know what they prob don't care either, just proves however that ps fans on average are more rounded gamers and niche titles will always have a place.

[caffman]

never heard of the game= don't give a sh!t

[gnothe1]

it doesnt matter WHAT the game is, as long as its cancelled for the 360 them sony pole smokers will love it an hype it to no end!! you guys gey excited over 1 cancelled jap 360 game but what about all the cancelled an delayed UK an US PS3 games. you guys never cease to amaze me!!

[FirstknighT]

Hey Breaking News! Attack of the Killer Tomatoes has been cancelled for the 360 and is now a ps3 exclusive.

Ps3 fanboys----> WOOHOO, 360 is stoopit! Ps3 all the way!

[Xemnas]

None for 360 cool today might be a good day lol nice really

[Marona]

Uh..... why are you guys trolling already? >>; People just come here to post news of games for the likes & dislikes. Not how great or bad the systems games are.

By the way, thanks for the higher temp! =P

[ShiftyLookingCow]

awesome, I just saw the reviews for the previous two games. It looks and plays similar to Jeanne d'Arc PSP which I love. I went ahead got them on ebay. Hope it comes soon to US.

[goodganja]

Why put a RPG on 360? Really? No one wants to play quality RPG's on a 360 because Micro$hit and it's Microfollowers would rather be on computers talking about Halo this and Mass Effect that. Truth is that both games will be on PS3 mark my words.

Back on subject. 360 is ABSOLUTELY NOT THE PLACE FOR RPG'S AND THIS IS A REASON WHY JAPAN WILL NEVER CATCH ON TO XBOX AND PS3 WILL MOVE MILLIONS MORE UNITS IN AMERICA.

Mistwalker=Mistake

Disgaea 3 better come down here..in fact it will just like all the others ..heheh...i love it..cant wait for it..

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Disgaea 3, Sangoku Fuushin and Tales of Destiny Director's Cut?

[WilliamRLBaker]

Another Japanese dev that like retards cant figure out that a good 50% of their profits come from audiances outside japan, but like most japanese companies only cater to the japanese consumer.

[goodganja]

So basically what you're saying WilliamRLBaker is that the PS3 will sell most of their RPG units outside of Japan.

Which in turn means that PS3 will see a significant increase in sales due to the millions and millions of JRPG fans outside of it's native country. Everyone knows that Dominationstation is THE platform for RPG's.

Thanks, you just basically admitted that PS3 will be digging Micro$hit a new @ss in less than a year.

[ta1snake]

Smart move, Xbox360 suit for FPS. Disgaea was a fantastic and attractive game.

[fredy]

Xemnas - 18 - wow
None for 360 cool today might be a good day lol nice really

It amazes me how a persons day, whether it be good or bad, depends on subtle negative 360 news.
