interesting...so how can one say that ps3 is getting shafted with the rpgs, if the console is getting both final fantasys, white knight chronicles and now Dark Cloud 3. oh...erm, doesn't sony own the ip or something?

1.2 - Sony owns the IP and publishing rights

It's the equivalent of saying Gears of War will never come to the PS3 because MS owns the IP and publishing rights. I guess this is not really news other than to inform us that Dark Cloud 3 is in the works.

I agree the RPGs coming for PS3 just seem more fun and more interesting. The PS3 RPGs all seem to be doing something different or atleast something hasn't been done to death. Brand love aside i liked Dark Cloud because of city creator and the potential that can be done on the PS3 is huge. White Knight Story is one of the few games that blew me away a year ago when it was first shown at TGS. The way the characters moved i've never seen in a video game before. And FFXIII is obviously going to be good because that is the definitive next iteration of FF.

Veryangryxbot - Is there going to be a Shadow of the Colossus 2?

I heard the ICO team were working on PS3 titles, but I've heard no news on SotC 2. I hope you're right.

4.2 - Dark Cloud has always been a great game series

But It's intent was to copy Zelda from the start.
I remember Sony saying it was a "Zelda-killer".
When Wind Waker went Celshaded, it was also notable that Dark Cloud 2 decidedly went Celshaded as well.

I would HOPE to high hell that Dark Cloud 3 would return to the original Dark Cloud's gameplay and Art style.

8 - This would make sense

Level 5 usually does DS and PS2 games and they are working on a future PS3 game, White Knight Chronicles, which is an RPG and looks very promising.

With the superb sales of MGS4 and PS3 hardware more AAA Japanese developers will give the PS3 a chance and I welcome Dark Cloud 3 anytime. Dark Cloud 2 is one of my favorite PS2 games.

Ok that does it, I'll go and buy the other 2. I've been thinking about it for ages and it keeps popping up every where I go. I might as well bow to the gaming gods and buy the damn thing already.

I don't care about exclusivity of Dark Cloud 3, as long as they make it and it's on the PS3 at least.

20.1 - I'm saying the same

never played the dark cloud series so not sure how it stacks up to final fantasy since it seems to be the benchmark against every 360 Jrpg.

What about "White Knight Chronicles"? I have not seen anything about that game in like a year

I only had the first one, but it was an Action RPG. It was very like 3D Zelda games, such as the combat and dungeons, but the whole goal involved collecting items to "rebuild" the overworld - houses, fences, and so on.

It was a pretty cool game.

Loved dark cloud 2 and still play it on occasion. Would like to see a more open world though, instead of all the narrow path dungeons and forests. Add some co-op to it (just my wish list) and it's heaven. Speaking of great PS2 games I'm looking for, Bring on Champions of Norrath: Rise of the Ogres or some crazy #### like that.

Was a very good game. My wife is going to be really happy. She doesn't play games, but for some odd reason she put 90 hours into that game. I'm still baffled by that when I think about it.

March 2009? That's sound kinda fishing... I mean White Knights Chronicles its not finish yet and DC3 its "supposed" to be release next year it's hard to believe unless the game receive an announcement on this year E3 or the Tokyo Game Show this year it HARDLY IMPOSSIBLE. If the rumor is true HURRAHHHH!!!! DC3 ^___^

This is really great news. Plus on a side note I can't believe Gamesblow was right. But really was it that hard to think Sony would not make a new one the past two were great. So I do not think that it would be that hard to guess Sony would make a new one. But if Gamesblow is right and there is to be a new Legend of Dragoon then I will be impressed. Again great news and I can't wait for White Knight and now this too.

30 - Dark Cloud 3 Bring it on.

My favrote thing about Dark cloud 1 and 2 was the weapon builder i spent so much time making sure i allways had weapon poweder to them from brakeing and i would work so hard for my weapons to gain exp to lv them up and to evole useing items to make them stronger and add elements to them. I hope they expand on that in DC3.
