GE: "NIS America has announced a second localization effort for the PlayStation 3."
Sony announced the April PlayStation Plus lineup for Japan which includes The Guided Fate Paradox from Nippon Ichi Software. This roguelike is a spiritual sequel to Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger Vs. Darkdeath Evilman and prequel to The Awakened Fate Ultimatum which came out in North America recently.
Digitally Downloaded writes: "What is appealing about the roguelike is that on a very fundamental level, from the very building blocks of the sub-genre's creation, it is absurdism in motion. And, just like absurdism in theatre, literature, and the other arts, through its repetitive mechanical structure it tells us a lot about the human condition because it is so damned addictive."
RPCS3 is undoubtedly an emulator with huge potential. YouTube’s member ‘B1ackDaemon’ has recently released a video showing Sonic CD running and today, we’ve got another video showing The Guided Fate Paradox running via this emulator.
I wouldn't call this "running". rather crawling....and then with a game which probably doesn't use 90% of PS3's resources and still is buggy as hell. <1-2fps - which makes it almost look acceptable - wouldn't that video actually run at 8x the speed. This will never ever run PS3 games. Not even if they iron out the bugs. But, well, great achievement getting that far. Just can't see why people waste their time on a lost cause.
Wow that escalated faster than expected. Awesome work dudes, can't wait to play so many jrpg's i couldn't play. And red dead.
I always have one question when saw things like this:
If you got the skill (programming, etc) and time to make this emulator, than why not developed some games for PS3 rather than pirating/cracking other people works?
Still years off being useful, but it's a good start. :)
I thoroughly suspect we'll see a good PS4 emulator before we see a PS3 one. The PS4 is a lot more PC-like. Still, going to be ages before we get either.
This is fantastic news! No wonder everyone loves NISA. :D
NISA is probably one of my fave publishers cause they are one of the very few who are not afraid to release games that are traditionally very niche.
Without them i wouldn't have been able to play Neptunia, or Mugen Souls, or the Atelier series. These games sell enough for NISA to make it worthwhile to continue to publish these types of games & i thank them greatly for that.
As for this game. I loved ZHP & this is sort of a spiritual successor to that game. It is over the top, gonna be wacky with a lot of Japanese stereotypes & jokes. ZHP is a very underrated gem for the PSP & this looks to be in the same boat.
Let's hope for a EU release as well, if not I could always import a US copy.
What's the Japanese name of this game?
Edit: nevermind
YES!
I'm pre-ordering it first chance I got. I want to give my support for games like this to make sure we can still get those games localized.
