Idea Factory is developing a new game in the Souls series (previous games include Spectral Souls and more recently Blazing Souls Accelate – pictured) and ex-Capcom lead Keiji Inafune is the producer.
Dengeki PlayStation revealed Overwhelming Game Infinite Souls this week, which is in development for PlayStation 3 . Like other installments, this is said to be a RPG, but according to the vague description it sounds more like Disgaea. The game begins with players creating a character by picking a face, hairdo, and voice. In battle, you can do over one trillion points of damage using the triple counter stop system. There are tower attacks and infinite cooperation combos. Players can level their characters up indefinitely as well.
Kenta Sugano, known for his work on the Record of Agarest War series, is the game’s director. Character designers include Ryoji, Kei Nanameda, and Takehito Harada who Disgaea fans should be familiar with.
Idea Factory promises this a full blown RPG and will be a high quality title. A snippet from an interview with Inafune said all joking aside, he hopes Overwhelming Game Infinite Souls will sell a million copies.
This week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation revealed Keiji Inafune’s new collaboration project with Compile Heart. Attouteki Yuugi Mugen Souls is a role-playing game for an unannounced platform, though given the magazine, we take it it’s either a PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, or PSP title.
This is apparently the project teased last week.
According to early leaks, players control a big-headed character, utilize infinite combo attacks and powerful moves, such as the “Triple Counter Stop,” which deals 1 trillion points of damage, and level their characters to endless levels.
The magazine introduces characters Shu Shu Infinite (voiced by Yukai Tamura), Ryuto (voiced by Hiromi Hirano), Altis (voiced by Saori Hayami) and Shambre (voiced by Emiri Katou).
As far as the game’s staff goes, Keiji Inafune is heading the project. Kenta Kanno, who’s previously direct Spectral Souls, Record of Agarest War and Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2, is directing. The game promises “erotic” visuals drawn by Katsuyuki Hirano. Think Record of Agarest War.
Inafune hopes the game sells a million copies. He’s not joking either. He said that if the game’s staff were cars, they’d be Ferraris and Porsches.
Oh. Inafune is writing and singing the game’s theme song.
Thanks, Hachimaki (via Andriasang).
