If so, wouldn't that mean Namco's in trouble, too? How long until Square-Enix-Tecmo-Koei-Namco-Bandai?

Some guy in that thread said NAmco let 10% of their staff go or something

The fact that they're counting on Enslaved to be their Gran Turismo suggests that there will be many more to come.


You're... not serious, right?

Super serious.

Namco-Bandai is really losing it, i think.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

The only Tales game I have played is Symphonia on the GC and I'm really want to play Vesperia (on PS3) and Graces.  I was half expecting Nintendo to step in and announce a Western Nintendo backed launch for Graces this winter at E3 (not disimilar to Monster Hunter 3, Dragon Quest IX or Prof Layton).

If they released all their currently Japan only Tales games in the west with some financial backing from console manufactuers they could make a healthy profit from it.

Bold plans there! I wouldn't bet on it. 



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

I hope they will be satisified with the sales of Enslaved since it looks really good.



Take a look at my photos on flickr

Around the Network

Tales is a wholly unimpressive franchise but I would be sad if it disappeared.  I hope they can pull out of this.



Just believe in what I said guys it's coming!



"Life is but a gentle death. Fate is but a sickness that results in extinction and in the midst of all the uncertainty, lies resolve."

Maybe if they didn't release super buggy games, and released the big titles outside of Japan.. When was the last time a country outside of Japan got a flagship Tales game? Vesperia on 360?




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

wow tales studio is my favortie developer hopefully they get it togethor. Though i doubt the studio is in trouble as bad as the japanese forum is suggesting as namso broke more than even with vesperia, symphonia 2 and radiant mythology 2. Still namco hopefully will bounce back with enslaved as it looks awesome and i hope it does sell like gran turismo (lol) sigh.
