NAMCO BANDAI GAMES ANNOUNCES ETERNAL SONATA™ FOR THE PLAYSTATION®3 SYSTEM

Award-Winning Role-Playing Game Arrives on the PLAYSTATION 3 System with New Playable Characters and Quests

Santa Clara, Calif., (July 15, 2008) – Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced Eternal Sonata™ for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. An award-winning role-playing game inspired by the life of legendary composer Frederic Chopin, Eternal Sonata is set to arrive on the PLAYSTATION 3 system this fall with new quests, new playable characters, new music and more.

A unique role-playing experience, Eternal Sonata lets gamers travel with 19th century composer Frederic Chopin as he explores a magical dream world during his final hours among the living. Utilizing a breathtaking cel-shaded graphics engine that gives form to the ethereal beauty of Chopin’s music, the game transports players to a vivid world inhabited by brave heroes, fearsome monsters and stunning environments. The game’s fast-paced battle system features an innovative “light and dark” mechanic which allows players to execute different special attacks depending on whether they stand in light or shadow, and transforms enemies into new and fearsome forms. Combining turn-based and real-time elements, this system allows for creative strategy and engaging action in each encounter, breaking new ground in the role-playing genre.

Originally released for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Eternal Sonata arrives on the PLAYSTATION 3 system with a wide selection of new game content, and new cut-scenes and features. The game’s roster of playable characters expands with the addition of Serenade and Crescendo, and players can now customize the look of members of their party with a variety of new outfits. Players can also enjoy several all-new dungeons, and even experience different endings.

Critically acclaimed upon its original 2007 release, Eternal Sonata was selected as “Best Role-Playing Game” by GameTrailers.com and received “Best Artistic Design” honors from IGN.com at E3 2007. The game was also chosen as a runner-up in the role-playing game category at the Spike TV 2007 Video Game Awards.

Eternal Sonata will launch for the PLAYSTATION 3 this fall and is currently available in stores for the Xbox 360. For more information, please visit eternalsonata.namcobandaigames.com.

It's not bad.  The story is at least better than MGS4's.  Also has less embarrassing characters.

if you like sleep, this is a GREAT game.

That's not hard, going out in public with my autistic nephew is less embarrassing than MGS4.

Alright.  Eternal Sonata is only slightly less distinguished mentally-challenged.

the game transports players to a vivid world inhabited by brave heroes, fearsome monsters

Yeah, like all three of them and their 15 different palette swaps.

You are writing off the power of blu ray.  In this version they will have at least 30 palette swaps.

360 gets FFXIII and PS3 gets this. 

The original ES was horrible, one of the worst RPG releases in the last 5 or so years.

[demi]

Guys guys... you can play as the king and queen of that one city in this version.

[JustinP]

i thought ES was announced for PS3 ages ago. 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Announced and then went into limbo.  I don't think if anyone was really sure if was still coming out or not.

But have no fear.  You too will be able to enjoy one of the worst RPGs to come out in years.

i thought ES was announced for PS3 ages ago.

it was - i think this is just a "hey guys, remember this one!" update.

perhaps it was only announced for japan or something previously?

It was previously Japan-only. Namco-Bandai kept stressing how it wasn't coming to North America.

I have to laugh at the people over at GAF that are actually looking forward to playing this.  It's like watching people walking into a trap.
