CDV picks up Fallen Angel for PS3

Ascaron Entertainment's Sacred sequel for Xbox 360 and PC branches out to another platform, set to arrive this fall.

Ascaron's Sacred 2: Fallen Angel may have been kicked out of heaven, but it has a handful of nice landing places picked out. Previously announced for the Xbox 360 and PC, the action role-playing game today was confirmed for the PlayStation 3 by publisher CDV Software Entertainment.

Although the PS3 edition of Fallen Angel was just revealed, Ascaron said it has been working on it for more than a year, and will be including some platform-specific features as well. In addition to "enhanced" graphics, the PS3 version will feature a redesigned interface, 5.1 channel Dolby Surround Sound, and drop-in cooperative split-screen play. Characters will be persistent, so experience and loot gained in multiplayer will transfer over to the single-player modes and vice versa.

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel is set for release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November, preceded by the PC edition on September 30.

looks like a good diablo clone, if this has online co-op it should be ace. i read this was, on console at least 360 only but is now being released alongside ps3 version, with platform specific enhancments on ps3.

Cool. I was actually looking forward to this on the PC, but may consider the PS3 version.

YOu were looking forward to it Bobo? Could you give me a synopsis as to why? I'd love to be excited for another game this year.

It's a Diablo clone.  I'm not a huge fan of Diablo's single player aspect, but those types of games are a lot of fun if you play with friends.  Although I never picked up Sacred 1, I heard good things about it.  And considering Diablo 3 might not arrive for a long time, there's not much to look forward to at the moment.

The reason I'm looking forward to it on the PS3 is that one of my friends who I used to play Diablo 2 with back in the day no longer has a PC capable of running any games made past 2004 (has trouble with HL2).  But he does have a PS3, so it should be a blast playing through the game with him, and a couple other friends.  Especially if there's voice-chat in the game.

Did I just see a bright yellow "?" above that npc's head? exactly like in World of Warcraft!!!

*head explodes*

The gameplay looks boring from that video. Is it a MMORPG? Because the gameplay suggests that it is...

doesnt look great

Tell that to Squilliam, Starcraft and Mr.Stickball

Sacred 1, while a competent Diablo clone still fell short on quality. Hopefully Sacred 2 is better.

*sigh* another WRPG, bring on the JRPGs dammit
