@Jordahn

Once again Level 5 and Factor 5 are different companies, in different countries, working in entirely different genres.

@Topic

Speculative conjecture is that Sony has finally drawn its line in the sand against Microsoft, and more importantly has decided to compete against Nintendo on some basis. Sony has finally committed to the limited purchase of exclusivity of titles. Sony has finally purchased two new exclusive titles for their console.

MS will make it a multiplatform games.. this is Possible .

 

Level-5 probably won't release ever a game for a M$ console:

In the months following, Level-5 President and CEO Akihiro Hino stated in a Japanese interview that the poor relations between his company and Microsoft, partially due to the latter's inexperience in dealing with Japanese developers, was one of the major reasons behind True Fantasy Live Online's cancellation. He also heavily implied that the two companies did not part amicably, and it stands to reason that the two companies most likely will never work together again

 

Actually, Level-5's president in the 100th issue of Famitsu magazine stated "that he still personally feels like finishing work on TFLO and even has many ideas floating in his head. However, his attentions are currently drawn towards all the other projects at his studio." The quote is taken from IGN.

Interview with Famitsu back in February.

"Outside of this surprise revelation about Japan's most anticipated game, Hino shared with the magazine a few hints at future projects from his company. On top of the four games mentioned above, Level-5 is currently working on a new RPG to coincide with the company's 10th anniversary this year, revealed Hino. This is an original RPG, and he expects to be able to announce it soon.

Hino also noted that Level-5 is looking into a number of original titles that aren't RPGs. He didn't go into specifics."

@ Dodece - what games are those?

@ Zones - well it's a good thing he has more than 5 games going right now. (I also believe you misquoted him)

I hope it's a new ip from Level 5. An arpg for the PSP using their Rogue Galaxy engine with multiplayer.

The company dose not own by the CEO himself alone. those shareholders may interested on MS 's offers.

Level-5 is a private company, therefore, greedy shareholders don't exist in there.

Has no one picked up on the word "revolution"

As in the original code name for the Wii.

Think about it.

That's all I say.

I may be wrong ... but then again, some others here may be wrong too.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

 You're thinking too much into it.

It's a better lead than the completely baseless assertion that the new game is a PS3 exclusive.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

And I'll repeat, because nobody answered me the first time: How many Japanese PS3 exclusive announcements have we heard in the last 1-1.5 years, at all?

 

Two Yakuza titles, and Valkyria Chronicles come to mind...



It's all about the game.
