I don't care too much really about who buys what, I'd just like more J/WRPG's on the PS3
sure there are a couple (like my current fave Fallout 3 and VC, Eternal Sonata etc.) but I'd like a bit more RPG love.

 

Totally agree, just want to see more of a competitive attitude with RPG developers. Competition is why shooters are jumping leaps and bounds right now. I mean this gen we went from halo to killzone 2, why dont we have that in rpgs?

Yeah, I'm a HUGE Rpg fan myself and I want to see RPGs like they were back in the old days, we had a plethora to choose from, more amazing than not.

We had Ultima, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Lunar, Star Ocean, Secret of Mana, Breath of Fire, Bladur's Gate, Fallout, etc.  So many I can't begin to list them all.  They all had something different and they all had to compete, because back then it was all about the RPGs.

Now it's FPS this, FPS that, don't get me wrong I do like FPS games.  But it's crazy that RPGs are where their at, when they should be better, not worse.  (Not saying that ALL the RPGs this gen weren't good, because that's not the case, but you get my point.)

It would be like if they just stopped making awesome FPS games and started a new Hyped Genre.  A lot of people would be pissed, well that's where us RPG fans are getting.

Have you seen the Versus trailer?

 

Of course and I can't wait for it.  Just like I can't wait for FFVIII and WKC.  Those are the 3 RPGs I know won't let me down.

 



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

That story you related was debunked months ago. The source was entirely disreputable. There is no proof Level 5 is looking to be acquired. There is anecdotal evidence however that Square is not adverse to that. In a heated console war with a semblance of balance their value is exceedingly high, and perhaps too high. The old saying is true buy low sell high.

Microsoft bought low and got themselves Mistwalker. Despite what some think it was a smart cost effective move. I doubt they are going to get in a bidding war over Square, or attempt a hostile takeover. I also doubt that anyone will go after Level 5. Sony cannot afford it, and Microsoft doesn't need to do that. Better to put more money into Mistwalker.

There are man resurfacing articles about it, I never said it was going to happen but why I would agree with it or to a degree why something like it needs to be done.

 

And whoever mentioned Versus 13, That is a game that i cant wait for, hoping for that and 13 to actually make me put down and controller and gasp. The only disrespect i meant to SE is that they need to step up their game cuz they are lacking in the quality department.

 



Still waiting on a New Road Rash and Legend of Dragoon 2...
