Hm, it's strange that Sega of all companies seems to be giving the ps3 so much love. First Valkyria Chronicles, and now this? They're not exactly one of the most financially stable companies at the moment, so you'd think they'd be trying to maximize profit with every release.

But hey, I ain't complaining. :P

Is this game going to be released outside of Japan? I'll need to add it to the ps3 exclusives list.

I'm also just as surprised. Do you think perhaps Sony are subsidizing Sega somewhat with the development costs of these titles?

Yakuza: Kenzan and Sega Golf Club are also PS3 exclusives developed by Sega. 

There are also some exclusives for the PS3 published by Sega: Imbikisou, Full Auto 2: Battlelines, Fifth Phantom Saga.

One way or the other, Sega is doing the PS3 a lot of favours.

 Indeed.  Is Fifth Phantom Saga still in the works?  I thought it was vaporware.

 Well, it makes sense for Sega to continue the franchise on PS3.

 This game will make 0 money on xbox and we all know that unless they get Mario to drive the car, they won't sell at all.

 PS3 is the only choice for them (probably will have a PS2 version of the game).

great anime, crappy game. Sega releases these games in the arcades and they suck pretty bad outside of maybe giving it a try or 2 at the arcade.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

It is a PSN title?

I'm with the majority. I'd prefer the anime rather than the game. The game wasn't that good.

Don't be so quick to write it off.  You never know what may happen.  ^_^

I hope they're getting a good cheque for being exclusive. Otherwise they're just burning a lot of potential sales. :)

Never much cared for racing games.



Tease.
