what the fuck at using cg for a tales game...

[Jabberwocky]

the CG really does look hideous. I wish they didn't go down that route.

wonder who's developing [Tales DS] this time?

[Mr. Gundam]

Ryu ga Gotoku 3 news?
・SEGA/発売日未定
・見参の開発が終わってからのスタート
・見参はスピンオフ作品　3は正当なナンバリングタイトル
・3では龍如2のその後の物語が描かれる
・名越氏:新たな舞台として沖縄を用意。神室町は舞台の中心としてありつつ、
　｢2｣のときの大阪に該当するような位置付けで沖縄を出そうと。

My Japanese is really crappy, but it appears the game takes place in Okinawa.

edit: Yay! I translated something right!

Sega/Release date TBD
Development started after Kenzan's development ended
Kenzan is a spinoff title. 3 is an official numbered title (ie. sequel)
The story of 3 will be the continuation of 2
They've prepared Okinawa as a new stage. Kamimuro Town (i think?) will remain central to the storry, whereas Okinawa will be similar in story placement to how Osaka was in 2.

[Jabberwocky]

I'm going to go play CT in celebration. 

Night, fellas.

RGG"3" better not be wii. RGG1 hurts my eyes to play it now because of the excessive blur filter Sega uses on like...all their PS1 games.

PS360. I think with proper marketing xbots would absolutely gobble up RGG.

Blasphemy.

And nothing should be on Wii.  And where the fuck is Kenzan in the states? RGG2 isn't even here yet.  What the fuck sega.  Fuck your tennis mascot and other shitty games.

September 9th appears to be the release date for Yakuza 2 in North America.

And from our buddy Duckroll: Oh, the RgG team also promises that they will not betray Playstation fans, so it'll be on the PS3. Since they actually mentioned that, I guess it's confirmed that they're porting it to the Wii in a year!

[Jabberwocky]

Few more things!

Tales of Hearts does indeed have 2D characters on a 3D plane (think Tales of Destiny remake), so perhaps it has a 2D battle system. I doubt it's being developed by Team Destiny, but the possibility is definitely there. It would surely compensate for the hideous CG artwork.

I was also right about Radiant Mythology 2 - 50 characters appearing from the series.

Next week's Famitsu will have a reveal on 4 new DS RPG's (2 of which are probably CT and Tales of Hearts).

[Mr. Gundam]

Sounds like Ryu ga Gotoku will be coming out on the PS3 in Japan in Spring 2009.

winds of nostalgia looks cool.

[Jabberwocky]

but it's no Suikoden VI right? :spitzer

I kid. <3

[Himu]

Sigh.

[CurseoftheGods]

Is Tales of Hearts the game Nintendo Power was alluding to?

[Jabberwocky]

Wow Groo changed his avatar.

Is that from Asterix by any chance?

It's from Groo the Wanderer.

[tiesto]

@ this thread.

god, how I hate anime and all things associated with that Japanese filth

If there is any genre that reminds me of Nintendo and its fans, it is JRPG and people who salivate at JRPGS...especially non-japanese people who salivate JRPGS.  archaic gameplay, retched smelly fantards, the whole works...

What the fuck do you play, loser???

And how could anybody hate the Suikoden series? Well, those who have played 1 and 2, at least...

NP was talking about Fire Emblem DS AKA Fire Emblem The Sword of Light staring some king dude.

ct ds looks the same =/

[Jabberwocky]

you can really tell it has no improvements from a small, artifact infested JPG?

[Himu]

Er.

I'm pretty sure you'd be able to tell a basic difference if you've played the game quite a bit. And that looks just like the original version.

Still, I'll wait for high quality scans to come out. It's still hard to tell.

[Tucah]

Yeah, I really hope there's some improvement, but it looks pretty much the same as the original game.

Let me get this straight.

You go on and on in here about how it's a port and nothing more, and then when you see a picture that shows it's just that, you're not happy?

[Grecco]

I hope theres an LE DS Bundle with Chrono Trigger DS. 

[Himu]

Let me get this straight.

I'm disappointed they didn't visually enhance it like they with Front Mission ds, Final Fantasy IV advance, V advance, Final Fantasy I and II psp and so forth. They tend to visually enhance when they rerelease stuff. FFIV and V advance aren't even real remakes, they're enhanced ports. That is what this CT is supposed to be, and enhanced port.

Still, these shots are all small and bad quality. So hopefully we're wrong.

Judging by other Wii games it'll be Metal Slug R: The lite real-time strategy game.

Castlevania: the fighting game

Ahahahahahaha... Himumu owned yet again.

This is what you get for rooting for worthless and cheap cash-ins in the example of Square-Enix endless stream of shitty Dragon Quest DS ports.

Fuck you Square... do something new already you lazy bums.

It's really sad that this and X Edge are the two biggest profile PS3 RPGs being released in 2008.

[recursivelyenumerable]

square isn't the same as well.

Valkyrie Profile 1 remake for PSP/2 for PS2 and FFT PSP/FFTA2 are recent Square Enix instances of the same pattern.

Scans keep trickling in...

Tales of Hearts / Radiant Mythology 2 (last time, I swear!)
http://i28.tinypic.com/2ia8scz.jpg
Tales of Hearts looks... okay. I think the character sprites could be better. I'm dying to know who's developing the game. Radiant Mythology 2 looks improved graphically over the first game.

Chrono Trigger
http://i25.tinypic.com/25koefb.jpg
I can't tell for sure from the scans, but I think they might be improving the graphics just slightly, similar to the GBA FF remakes.

Fire Emblem
http://i25.tinypic.com/avsfo9.jpg
Although it might be a bit generic, I think the character artwork is quite lovely. I don't think it's the usual FE artist though.

[MCD]

edit: nah, this is magus's lair.

nm.

[drohne]

the fire emblem character art looks like it's...whatsisname...guy who drew ghost in the shell. though i assume it's not really him

Wind of Nostalgia site open

[duckroll]

I'm surprised no one has brought this up before, but RPGLand seems to always have photo scans that I don't see on 2ch or on any other site. This week they have all the Wind of Nostalgia pages, as well as extra stuff on Avalon Code, Steal Princess and World Destruction: http://www.rpgland.com

I wonder where they get their scans from, maybe they actually have someone in Japan?

[MCD]

that's a very nice site.

good find ducky.

[Jabberwocky]

Holy crap! Nostalgia looks incredible.

The Avalon Code website just updated with new videos as well, and I think it looks pretty amazing for a DS game. In Matrix we trust!

I'm loving these 4th gen DS RPG's.

[duckroll]

Since GAF banned scans, it's possible cvxfreak is posting them elsewhere. It looks like his work a bit, but you never know, it could be someone else.

Ah, yeah. I didn't think about that. It's possible. Pretty cool either way.
