The online mose doesn't look as good as the single player mode in terms of graphics but that's not suprising since online requires using a network so graphic quality had to be sacrificed in online mode. Single player mode on the other hand looks very good in terms of graphics.

 

Oh I know. :P


The single player looks great, imo. Aside from the blurry ground textures.

I wonder how many resources it cost for them to go 1080p, and how those resources could've been used elsewhere. I would've preferred 720p and some other improvements.

No one's going to care about a few blurry ground textures because they will be paying more attention to the character models and the environments as a whole.

WKC should do well in Japan, MGS4 Japan numbers are likely but well like it or not FF and DQ are the RPG's which sell well in Japan with nothing coming close. Sony can advertise all they want WKC but FFXIII and even Versus will clock up WKC LTD within a week.

I really wanna know what the hype level for this game in Japan is though.

is it a big as Last Remnant....lower.....higher?

 

If TGS attendees are anything to go by, definitely higher. From Wired.com:

Tokyo Game Show organizer CESA has announced its best of show winners, under the "Future Division" banner, awarded to unreleased titles.

Twelve titles have made the cut -- voted on by attendees -- and they cover all consoles except for the PlayStation 2.

Without further ado, this year's winners are:

  • Idolmaster SP - PSP (Namco Bandai)
  • Gyakuten Kenji - Nintendo DS (Capcom)
  • White Knight Chronicles - PS3 (Sony)
  • Star Ocean: The Last Hope - Xbox 360 (Square Enix)
  • Dissidia Final Fantasy - PSP (Square Enix)
  • Dragon Quest IX - Nintendo DS (Square Enix)
  • Resident Evil 5 - Xbox 360/PS3 (Capcom)
  • Monster Hunter 3 - Wii (Capcom)
  • 428 - Wii (Sega)
  • LittleBigPlanet - PS3 (Sony)
  • Yakuza 3 - PS3 (Sony)
  • Let's Tap - Wii (Sega)

I wonder if it's a coincidence that all winning publishers also happened to have the biggest booths at the show.

Really, we're comparing Level 5's best to Square Enix's worst. Given Level 5's notoriety these days in Japan after Dragon Quest VIII, Prof. Layton, etc., it was expected.

WKC and SO:TLH are running TLR into the ground in terms of hype.  Not suprised though because WKC and SO:TLH seems to have something that just makes TLR, well, bland in comparison.

Sony need to aquire Level 5 Now.

 

NO, Professor Layton belongs on DS, and the other 2 need to be translated before Sony can have them.......

That being said, I dont believe this thread, Sony doesnt advertise games.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

wow....thats good. But it didn't help LBP sales wise :(

anyways SO4 & WKC look miles better than TLR

but never under-estimate SQUARE-ENIX

Level 5 as I recall don't want to be acquired and good on them, sick of SE ruling the roost and competition makes better games. Look at how much SE have slipped up thanks to the merger, when it was DQ vs FF then we has some fantastic games.



kingofwale on 07 November 2008

well, SE had to, it's not like their last game... UI sold like hotcakes.

I suppose that's what you got for going exclusive on a console with less than 1 million installbase.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379
