the Matrix game is apparently Wind of Nostalgia, published by Tecmo/Red Entertainment. Don't know anything else about it.

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

Jabberwocky · « **Reply #122 on:** July 02, 2008, 01:34:54 AM »

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

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

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.

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 · « **Reply #128 on:** July 02, 2008, 02:35:21 AM »

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).

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...

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.

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.

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.
