WTF!? Didn't another news story say Lost Odyssey god 33/40 or something? Now this one says 36/40!?
+ Great score for No More Heroes.

[gtgcoolkid]

something is wrong.

[Danja]

im just as confuzed...!!!

Im a PS3 supporter but I was kinda shocked at the first scores for LO..cuz I was expecting it to get scores like these...I think these are the real scores..I might have to go over to a friends house nd try this game out.it's the only 360 game that im interestd in..!.

Uncharted FTW..I hope Japan gives this game a try as they did with RFOM..!!!

[shmee]

LO got 9 9 9 9 from FAMITSU (general)

and 9 8 8 8 from FAMITSU X360

[MK_Red]

I see. Thanks for the info shmee.

[Chubear]

Hey with those scores we could see LO push 360 sales the way Ace Combat did in Japan. This maybe the one game MS has been looking for to try and at least crack into Japanese gamers to some kinda significant degree.

I'm interested in how well it'll be recieved and if it'll move more consoles than ACt6 did ... more than any game realeased in Japan so far.

I wasn't personally impressed with LO myself though. It seems it the same gameplay taken from great JRPG games from last gen and given a current gen make over in the looks department. And now more than ever animations on 360 games are really starting to stick out like a sore thumb when compared to PS3 exclusive titles.

Lost Odyssey famitu reviwe

-the pace of the battles are very well and comfortable.
-gameplay is 20 to 25 hours.
-the boss round is tough, but it is interesting to work out a strategy.
-event scenes are superb with great graphics.
-fun to build up the charactors.
-bitter taste scenario.
-overwhelming graphics and buatiful sound tracks with 4 DVD-ROM.
-annoyed frequent load reading and terrible lip-sync.

I think why lip-sycn is terrible is that it would be tweaked in English.

[greenenvy]

i'm guessing it was payoffs, somebody paid the 360 teams to pretend there was lots of screen tearing and framerate issues in lost odyssey.....

why the f else did everyone else love it, and no more heroes??

look what happened to virtua fighter.....smells of sony payoff...

and you know MS did the same thing to try to mess up ratchet & clank, u know its true!!!!!

no where near that many people hated ratchet, some of them were taking

any case those are great scores and the japanese press is loving the lost odyssey, virtua fighter games too........

[osirisomeomi]

The game is 20-25 hours and 4 DVD ROMs? Is it just a movie or something?

[unsunghero28]

Wow.

Uhhh... I hate to be the guy that says it, but...

MS, don't you think... well... maybe HD-DVD support would be nice?

We've still got at least a good 2 years of 360, so surely the games are going to get a litttttle bit bigger...

[Korosuke]

Don't ask me, I just translated the summary of the review. Do you imply BD(PS3) and DVD(360) war ?

maybe I'm a real PS3 fanboy, cos I have only PS3 and I'm Japanese.
But I don't think bigger storage thing is necessary for a good game and I don't think the titles using full capacity of BD for "genuine purpose" are coming for years to come.
3rd parties release their titles as multi-platforms and try to be identical both version. So there is not the large-capacity turn.
I know, 1st/2nd parties are using the large-capacity of BD but it's for pre-rendered movies and multi voice languages, not high resolution texture nor bigger gameplay contents.

[KidMakeshift]

The lip sync for the japanese dub is off because they made it to match the English dub. The creators spoke about this at TGS07. The Game has 20 hours worth of cutscenes along with 20 hours of gameplay, so expect it's pacing to be like Xenosaga.

I really wish Nintendo and Xbox got rid of regional coding. I want to import Dragon Quest Swords, No More Heroes, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, and Lost Odyssey.

[greenenvy]

seriously what is this...

"most companies release their game multiplatform if they are 3rd party."

no, most companies DO NOT release their game multiplatform. only some of them do still.

there are third party publishers like square-enix who only do their games exclusively for sony....

and they are using the BLU RAY format, to fill it up with cutscenes.

so seriously where do you get this lie from, third party developers like squareenix are NOT releasing FF13 or the likes on two formats....

even if it made more financial sense, they don't do it....

they send something else multiplatform like last remnant and so on...

seriously just wake up.....they are spending so much investing on blu ray they are ultimately losing huge amounts of money due to the development costs...

meanwhile games like lost odyssey, which are also exclusive and for the 360 cost less than 15-20 million to make and will sell very good...

not just in japan, but in north america.....they don't need blu ray discs because its not even profitable....

and I bet u anything they could sell far more of their game, if it was on DVDs, that those games like FF13 and the like would sell double the amount it sells instead of being done on only the blu ray format....

its too bad those developers cant see this, its costing them tons of money and time and there is almost no difference....just time wasted.

[Korosuke]

>so seriously where do you get this lie from

N4G...lol, as far as I know many games come from EA, UBI, Activison and their dev branch, not from Square.
I think these comp take mulit-platform strategy.

>its too bad those developers cant see this, its costing them tons of money and time and there is almost no difference....just time wasted.

So developers should provide games for Wii and DS and PSP and mobile instead of time and money wasted PS3/Xbox360, hah ?

And I can't understand why you blame my comment. I said the large capacity is not necessary for good games.

[chrno6]

only 25 hours long, I thought every standard jrpg should at least provide 40 hours of gameplay experience. For instance, ff12 took me over 100 hours to compelete. Do they take the side quests into consideration?

[greenenvy]

i'm not saying that most western developers, and some japanese developers do their games on both formats not talking about that....

i think its fine they do and agree with the approach, especially square-enix doing their lost remnant series on this approach...

my problem is companies still like konami, or square-enix and even factor 5 are still doing *SOME* of their games only on the blu-ray disc format.....

seriously, take FF13 for example...sure it will sell well, but why put that only on playstation's blu-ray discs if it would sell DOUBLE that by having it on DVDs also, for the 360?

I can understand they want to make it a system seller, but don't they recognize how many more copies the game can sell?

blu disc is so expensive to create for, and they are filling it up with movies & content, then why not do it cross platform so it can also be sent to the 360 after time exclusive deal?

many other people want that game, they would buy it in droves if it was on DVD also and it would achieve really good results in europe...

it shouldnt be so hard to do a game like that on blu ray and dvd is what I was saying, why try to keep it all on blu ray?

i can already see why lost odyssey is obviously not going to the ps3 because it wasnt meant to and its published by microsoft, but that ff13 game is published by square-enix not sony.

and if u think closely, the game after being on one format would sell probably double the copies after crossing over to DVD....

and even factor 5's game, if they made a sequel to "LAIR" that was really good......why put it only on blu ray.

it would always sell far better on both formats, DVD included, since blu ray is so expensive to do the programming for.

edit: i disagree with the term "has to", i mean square-enix sold a very miniscule share to sony to be realistic....

they just are not accustomed to multiplatform development, IMO is the real reason.

anyone can see ff13 would sell far more on both platforms, because it costs so much extra money to make CG movies on blu rays if u ask koei, konami, etc....

i still wonder about them because i think some companies, they should release it on two or so platforms always. this is not going to make much difference for the console manufacturers, but would make all the difference to the sales of any of their games...

DVDs/doing CG cutscens and FMV on them is many many times cheaper than filling up blu rays is why....

[Korosuke]

Sorry,i I'm not good at English so maybe I missunderstood :p

Why there are some developer which develop one platform is, here is my thougts.

For finance, multi-platform may be better way to making money. I don't know it's better way in long terms, anyway.
But some developers think they should devote to develop for one platform to maximize their title's potential. Like MGS dev or Crysis dev says. There isn't the dynamics of the money-making. Only creating thing attitude like artist. Such type of people's thought is if they manage to make a good game, result will follow.
quite a good attitude for creators, don't you think ?

As far as I know about Squareenix, SCE holds some shares of Squareenix. SCE helped SQ by capital injection when SQ failed the full CG FF movie and got a debt. So SQ has to release their flagship franchise in SCE's console.

One point I can't understand yours, why is developing on BD taking more cost ? Just press it on BD, doesn't it ? no difference in DVD.
If dev do fulled the disc with pre-rendered movie like many JRPG, yeah, it probably takes more costs. But it's not from the disc format.

***add***

8.58% share is quite a huge, I think.
http://www.square-enix.com/...

So change the description, SQ want FF13 on PS3 in return cos SQ was helped by SCE from bankruptcy. But who knows exact reason about exclusive ?

>they just are not accustomed to multiplatform development, IMO is the real reason.

Yeah, but it's same meaning in another description as for one platform to maximize their title's potential.
Why bioshock doesn't have mulit player mode ?
Bioshock dev said we wanted to concentrate in single player.

[kewlkat007]

When did Lost Ody get a 9999??

I thought it was a 9888, or something like that?

Great for uncharted, I did like the Demo, but I would like to see how it sells in japan.

Plus did Japanese gamers buy Tomb raider in droves? Besides the upped graphics, I wonder if they dig adventure games in general?

[sonarus]

there seems to be some discrepancy with lost odyssey reviews. IT says 9999 but earlier on today it was 9888 plus if you scroll down to 360 specific reviews it says 9888. Which is it?

[Sevir04]

the funny thing is that lost odessey is the one that will have the sales... japan is such an interesting region and culture. i so wanna play lost odessey. it seems interesting. it's the only xbox game that has me really excited.. i hope it's better than freakin blue dragon... none the less it's good to see uncharted getting world aclaim ^^ i wonder what the sales of that game is going to be.

[sonarus]

depends on how hard sony pushes the game in the region. Advertising will play a mojor role. Will probably be more than ratchet and clank but the real game most ps3 owners will be purchasing this week will be winnin eleven

[Real gamer 4 life]

Doesnt Gt prologe come out in japan?? That should be a good game, and Ut3 comes out in NA dec 11. I cant wait for UT3.

[MK_Red]

WTF!? They just got GTA Vice City for PS2?(Or is it Stories?)

Good scores for Conan and VP: Party Animals.

[Danja]

it's Vice City Stories

Conan is crap I didn't really enjoy it..!!

[Darkiewonder]

Now I need to get a DS lite for that game.

Good score for LO and Uncharted!

[PS360PCROCKS]

Damn nice for Uncharted and Lost Odyssey!!

[jackdoe]

Pretty nice score. But why the hell did Japan censor the game?

[socomnick]

Because they like eel porn.

[KidMakeshift]

They have strict anti-gun laws in Japan. Plus, blood/gore is somewhat taboo in Japan. Battle Royal is a good example. It's one of the few japanese movies to be banned in the country.

[remix]

because metacritics has to be the worst site to go to trying to look for averages. they miss like 10 reviews for some games.

but anyway,i think that the lost odyssey score is all messed up. they need to fix somethin

[Prismo_Fillusion]

Yay for Uncharted, Lost Odyssey, and No More Heroes. Certainly three games I would all own if I had all three systems.

[Meus Renaissance]

I'm really pleased that we ALL can agree as gamers that Uncharted and Mass Effect are games we can admire.

:)

[greenenvy]

lost odyssey gets straight 9s across nearly a 10 if we go by our archaic old scoring method.........

i think there was a payoff with the 360 sections why did everyone else love lost odyssey and no more heroes....

and complaints about VF5!?!? wtf is right....

anyway lost odyssey looks great it will be a system seller for sure and I hope virtua fighter 5 goes on sale the same time they should bundle the games........sell as many 360s this holliday as possible...

that's the bottom line, AAA stuff!!!! :-D

go for the gold and knock 'em out

[gamesblow]

Oh, look... more 9's for a Ps3 game that'll never be added to the overall % on these lovely "unbiased" sites. What a piece a' damn joke! I'm stil waiting for 8 reviews to be posted on these % sites for R&C... When's that going to be?

[wil4hire]

Notice that every Xbox source known to man is listed on the unbiased sites.

OXM.. XBOX-the magazine. Xboxfandaily Xboxsite.org etc.

Its laughable. But i'm glad sales & game quality is speaking for itself.

[hanson520]

AAA game ever...

Can i give it 10 10 10

[mistertwoturbo]

wow, 9999 for uncharted from famitsu? usually the japanese hates western games

[Korosuke]

yeah, good review and I really hope Uncharted will dig in Japan.
It is kinda lame that Sangoku-musou and WE/PES stay in the top of the chart.

[KidMakeshift]

I don't think I can invest in another "Tales of" game.

I've already played Tales of Eternia, Symphonia, Abyss, Legendia

There's like 15 of them

[leon76]

Sorry for me 10/10/10/10!!!!

[Irving]

Just finished it today, awesome game. Its been a long time since finishing a game gave such a satisfactory feeling. Now waiting for sequel U2.

[rukusa]

To be honest, I understand why it got those "not-so-thrilled"-9s . I mean, come on, 20 hours of gameplay for a RPG is WAY below standard.

[djt23]

No More Heroes 9889
that mean i have to get this game

[wiizy]

wow great scores for no more heroes cant wait for that game.... good score fo uncharted too but it wont sell

[CrazzyMan]

As long as i remeber, all FF games since FF5 have atleast 40h of gameplay.
I mean, ofcourse, jrpg lovers like me can and will extend LO over 50h atleast, to explore everything and etc. But 20h of main story and on 4 DVD, that really sux.
And there is nothing we can do about.

Anyway, with ME sold less then 200k, i wonder what LO sales will be in usa, i presume ~150k.
it`s looks like the end for JRPGs on x360.
But well, it could sell 300k in japan, by the end of 2007, and that atleast will make mistwalker to be able to create new games.
Hope, after Cry on and maybe BD2, they will begin creating games on PS3 with 1 BD and over 40h gameplay. =)

[PS360PCROCKS]

First off I highly doubt Microsoft sees making JRPG's as a losing battle. They are first and foremost a business, and that one small unprofitable area is easily made up by other game sales, it also broadens their spectrum of gamers and types of games, and over the next few years every game that's slightly different is a huge help, as publishers take that into consideration when picking out which platform(s) to support. I'm disappointed by Mass Effect's sales if they are less that 200K, because it's a great game. But I think it's one of those games I presume over time will sell better from word of mouth and new people buying the machine looking for RPG's, I know I have been telling all my friends that had no clue it even existed. Anyways sorry so long, but on the major part I wanted to say something was that, even if the mission quest only consists of 20Hrs the cutscenes add another 20Hrs so the game is ATLEAST 40Hrs, that's a pretty deep RPG to add 40hrs as straight through play. I doubt you'll see a 40hr gameplay game because of rising costs of development.

[mesh1]

uncharted is a pile a pooo didnt even get over 87% what a let down a 2 year o;ld can make ps3 games tbh rachet and clank and uncharted are jokes but only console kids love them ps3 console kids i mean pushing 1 button for 10hrs seems quite fun hahaha tards

[Skerj]

LMAO dude you've never played either game, much less a PS3. I remember you saying you didn't like Resistance online because it had no radar and you couldn't see your teammates. Go play Mass Effect, you've been spazzing over it since forever.

[shysun]

Mesh...Didyoufailfirstgradebec auseyouspellandpunctuatelikea5y earold! Use a period dumbass!

[cr33ping_death]

folks mesh is a perfect example of what can happen when one is a fanboy. ramblings such as these are the cause of rage a fanboy gets when a game for the console they dont own gets great reviews. so please folks for only a dollar a day you can help the cure and mindless ramblings of fanboys, by helping us buy confused kids like these the consoles they so secretly desire. thank you.

ps. or you could just take his bubbles away.

[Astro]

Funny thing is that even with good scores, nobody is going to buy Uncharted in Japan.

Great score for No More Heroes!

[InMyOpinion]

Famitsu is biased! Sony payed them to give Uncharted good review scores!

Wait! What am I saying?! I actually think Uncharted deserves it...Can it be?! Am I becoming a fanboy!?

[THE_JUDGE]

to get Uncharted now, dammit!

[goodganja44]

It's 2007. And the PS3 already has games that are AAA that the xbox couldnt even fathom.

Give me a title similar to Ratchet & Clank on Breakbox?

Exactly.

XBOTS GET SHUTDOWNN DAILY.

P L A Y B 3 Y O N D

[shysun]

I'm more shock with Uncharted getting a 9999(shooter), than LO getting a 9999(JRPG).Great scores all around though. Uncharted was great and even better the second run! :)

[HarryEtTubMan]

Uncharted is the coolest game I have ever played. It is seriously really cool. I really like Warhawk also its frEakin HUGE

[rayc0013]

i cannot wait to get uncharted love the demo, just seems like a very fun game

[cooke15]

Nice No More Hero Scores :) Higher than they scored Killer7 and i love that game.
