shockwave Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Sweet Last Remnant Japanese bundle. Going to be on sale from Nov. 11 in Japan. Too bad this is never going to happen here. Neither in the US or Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithuvien Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Sweet. If all goes well Lost Odyssey won't be the next-gen RPG of the year (Vesperia doesn't count, it didn't release in PAL territories). Ummm..... you mean Tales will never release in PAL territories? PS: Can someone explain what this NTSC and PAL business is all about with games, technically? As far as I know, its just two diffrent viewing frequencies. Shouldn't take much effor to release PAL and NTSC both, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahaman Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 ^^why dont u order tales from playasia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonekrazy3000 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Well. Because Namco had to be useless b****** and region lock the game. otherwise most of us would have got it from play asia by now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithuvien Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Tales is getting a PAL release in 2009 IIRC. You see, for the European territories, each game gets its own regional language translation, like German, French, Spanish etc, so generally developers tend to release the Japanese and American versions first and then work towards releasing the European versions at leisure. You can imagine the frustration of gamers in Europe. How long does it take to translate stuff? At least, in web applications, translation work is done by another team parallely with the developers so that we can test out the multi-lingual functionalities without delays.

lithuvien Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Last Remnant is getting a worldwide release on the 20th of November. Not for the PS3. :cry5: :cry5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithuvien Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Oh stop whining. It's not as if the 360 RPG stuff is of the highest pedigree anyway. Forgive me, O noble and mighty one. It seems that the failiure of PA to deliver has disconcerted me to a great degree. By the way, how many have raised their hands for Valkyria Chronicles?

MarketTantrik Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Just watched the HD trailer from XBLM. The game is looking super awesome with smooth framerates and slick visuals from Unreal Engine 3. I'm really excited about this one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnackChap Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 game informer review BOTTOM LINE: 7 >Concept: The Last Remnant introduces larger scale multi-party combat to the RPG genre. Overall, however, the results are mixed >Graphics: Unlike some Square Enix titles, the cutscenes use the in-game graphics engine (Unreal Engine 3) and show some popping in of textures >Sound: Studio musician metal guitar riffage runs roughshod over the game. This is unfortunate, but it does suit the often hammed-up dialogue >Playability: Timed-button presses for both offense and defense break up the turn-based attacks >Entertainment: This game's attempt at RPG innovation doesn't hit the bull's eye, and the rest of the game - while solid - doesn't distinguish itself enough >Replay Value: Moderate SECOND OPINION: 6 *paging h3lios* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Oh well - one more where I will wait till it hits the rubbish bins - not that I have any money left after this season's goodies. Also, Famitsu is generally a tough reviewer - but are they going soft, or going the Gamespot way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Well, sounds a lot like what Lost Odyssey got from American reviewers. I'm still getting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 The usual comments from western reviewers are always on the lines of "doesn't do anything new...". What are they expecting then? Do FPS games do anything new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thank you kind sir. My only hope seems to be Persona 4 this year. The game is good. Trust in Famitsu ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
