Do your still remember the Killzone 2 pre-rendered video that was showed at E3 2005? My jaw dropped the very first time I saw that video. To say it blew everything out of the water would be an understatement judging from the reaction it got from the media and everyone else who saw it. Now, that was barely 6 years ago and it looks like we are already heading for another generation of the console war.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Ohh yeah for sure. Hell the graphics on the new consoles might even be able to render graphics that go BEYOND the KZ2 E3 2005 video!
Next gen will be more about smothing out wrinkles than vastly improved graphics. Frame rates ect.
I just hope they deliver on everything. the SAMARITAN video from EPIC GAMES looks hopeful though. :-)
If they do it on far more powerful hardware than the actual console (like KZ2 E3 2005) then yeah, it could blow us away....
Mind you, with crazy expectations, Samaritan tech temo or even maxed out PC BF3, it could be tricky, especially when they've struggled to turn a profit this gen, while "weaker" hardware (Wii) has been far FAR, more profitable.
Realistically... Next gen will probably still be nowhere near that tech demo from '05. The hardware will probably be close to the current 5xx series GPUs offered on todays market, with extra RAM. Hopefully the standard of console games will match the graphical fidelity of BF3 on Ultra setting from a PC. I will be interested to see what devs can do with next gen GPUs, it can only be good for everyone, console and PC gamers.
