Forums - Sony - Where are my PS3 rpg's?

@Selnor, so for 2.5 years you chowed down on 5 rpg's, and if you were a PS3 owner from launch, you'd be pulling your hair out after 1.5 years and only having 2 Rpg's? Come 2.5 years into the PS3's lifespan, it might have higher rated RPG's, and quite possibly more xD Are you insane? :P

Where are my PS3 rpg's?...

...on the 360 and DS.

I also love how the article says now we can obviously see the PS3 has the most even though they didn't bother listing any others (I have no idea of the statement is true or not, it's just funny they didn't bother listing any others).

there are 3 RPGs on xbox that are not coming to the ps3 and they are from microsoft games studios and 1 from SE. . every one from namco is coming on ps3 so its only because its been out longer.

 I hate it when people say all the RPGS are on xbox because they are not. i own 3 RPGs thats it.

but they are on the DS tho >.<

Has a new Shin Megami Tensei game been announced for the PS3? I just started Persona 3 FES, and so far I'm loving it (only played about 5 hours so far). I'm not even that big an RPG fan (one of the only RPGs I can remember beating is Golden Sun).

A new SMT hasn't been announced for the PS3...yet anyway.

Anyway, most RPGs are on the 360 and DS right now. And that list for unannounced PS3 RPGs seem...pretty old so I'm not sure about that.

 Seriously? This is what we've come up with? "Most" and "360" is a pretty shallow statement considering there aren't even 10 decent ones out yet to contend that statement x.x; and why are we even bothering with the mention of the DS? Most of us who want RPG's on the PS3 probably don't want the Rpg's that are on the DS x.x Should that statement even be in this thread?

Well, as the name suggests jRPG are made in Japan, mainly for japanese audiences. Yes, the genre has seen successful games in other markets but Japan remains the center of it. Japanese developers have been slow developing not just jRPGs, but anything for HD consoles. Since the 360 is a non-factor in Japan, it's unlikely japanese RPG developers will care to go multiplat just so they can sell a few thousand more units outside Japan. When a company like Mistwalker can't get a big budget game like LO to break the measly 200K barrier in Japan, developers know they're better off developing for the PS3.

However, the PS3 is still waiting for those titles and its installed base is so small in Japan is a good reason for concern and question whether or not is worth the hard work of putting together a true "next-gen" RPG that can attract the gone-casual majority. It's kind of a vicious circle, this current situation for the PS3 in Japan, but the fact remains japanese gamers still love RPGs and if a recent release like Valkyrie of the Battlefield is any indication the genre can sell on PS3, we can be sure we'll see more developers bringing new exciting projects to the console.

Yeah, the PSP has quite a few, even if only a couple are high profile. Yet the Star Ocean remakes had better be localized.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

 Dear god it can keep it >< I can't stand the Dragon Quest series and because of it I can't stand Blue Dragon :( Besides anything thought from the ground up to be on the DS can STAY on the DS. I wan't something that can only be done on home consoles lol.

LO probably didn't cost THAT much to make since the game was developed using the Unreal Engine
