CheatCC Preview: White Knight Chronicles - Level-5's Masterpiece?

CheatCC writes: "Taking a slightly different approach this time around, Sony is working with Level-5 to make a truly outstanding RPG for the PlayStation 3; its name is White Knight Chronicles. Though the game has been a bundle of secrets over the last couple of months, more and more information continues to be unveiled as we dip further into 2008. What is White Knight Chronicles? How is it different from your average everyday role playing game? Why am I asking you all these questions? Just see for yourself what Level-5 has in store for gamers later this year. "

the best value for money
type of games,if they're done
right.

[Harry190]

this game has fantastic cut-scenes.
now,can anything top a jrpg in terms of lifespan?
well,maybe gta,but that's not the same.

[iAmPS3]

I don't know how somebody could disagree with you.
Maybe they think that a game like COD4 could be more value, i don't know.

[Homicide]

Its probably 360 fanboys who are jealous that PS3 owners are getting this JRPG masterpiece.

WKC is going to be the best JRPG this generation so far, since many JRPGs this generation are kinda disappointing. This game will keep me busy until FFXIII comes out.

[Harry190]

be careful using this word in this zone even if what you're saying is relevant and true.it's like an anathema over these parts.some people got banned just for saying the truth using those words.anyway,it would be even more ridiculous if 360 fanatics disagreed with me.they also had their serving of good jrpg.can't understand why people wish your downfall so much.but then,that's someone's opinion,and sometimes good common sense does not prevail.
edit:grilled,not taking this so seriously.just like that.things changed.last time i checked i had more disagrees than agrees.now it has changed,and i'm happy.i have feelings.dadada.going berserk.

[grilledgorlupa8]

dont take it seriously its just some point that means nothing. Knowing that your disagree isnt in the teens is all that really matters.

[sonarus]

i am confused about the name of this game. Is it white knight STORY or white knight CHRONICLES. Anyways, the game looks amazing and i can't wait to play it. I wish sony would just announce a release date as this one looks like it will be pretty epic

[Harry190]

white night story methinks.

[chaosatom333]

One awesome rpg added to the list: check and check

[PStriple703]

day1

[heyheyhey]

word

ditto for all Level 5 RPG's

[TheHater]

same here dude.

[ISA_Scum]

Pre-ordered when date is revealed! Day one pick up!

[TheHater]

Dammit, I want this JRPG more than Final Fantasy XIII believe it or not. I am just fascinated by this game.

[gtgcoolkid]

Thats a bit too much for me personally. Nothing cross FF13 and FFv13 for RPG but this game comes very close. It will first day purchase.

[ISA_Scum]

This, Valkyrie Chronicles, Final Fantasy XIII....oh how the PS3 will finally start to deliver for me once those games start coming!

[destroyah]

This is what people don't understand. It takes time to make quality JRPG's like this one. Mistwalker is rushing all that Unreal Engine garbage they put out. Level-5 makes guaranteed AAA JRPG's, just like Square-Enix. Day one purchase for me and one of the reasons I bought a PS3.

[JVIDICAN]

well its starting pretty soon well be getting previews of it weekly 2008 release date is practically confirmed

[Jack Bauer]

glad to see something on this game, havent seen much on it for a while now... one of the main games im looking forward to for the PS3.

[Hentai]

He didn't even played the freaking game. He saw some gameplay video and base his preview on that.

[cmrbe]

are these guys?. Are they like Square enix?. Sorry if i sound like a noob but i am not a JRPG fan and this game seems to be getting alot of attention and hype and i want to understand why.

[destroyah]

They're pretty damn big and they have great ties with Sony which is great. They're responsible for Dark Cloud 1 & 2, Rogue Galaxy and Dragon Quest VIII, some of the best JRPG's I've ever played. They're basically the new Square. And I mean that. Their games are unique.

Edit @ below: Obama 08!

[Obama]

Level 5 is a highly respected studio behind the famous dark cloud series, dragon quest viii, and rogue galaxy. Many say it is the new Square Enix.

@edit
Can't believe destroyah just took the word out of my mouth 10 sec earlier lol.

[cmrbe]

then this is big indeed. I only played 2 JRPGs in my life time but one of my brother is a FF fanatic. I will most likely buy this game for him when it come out.

[JVIDICAN]

the new squaresoft not enix

[grilledgorlupa8]

you are one nice brother.

[meepmoopmeep]

Sony should pick them up to become 1st party. They friggin ROCK!
White Knight Chronicles is going to be intense!

[Obama]

If ff13 is not out by 2008, then this will be the rpg of the year for certain. No other rpg comes close to this this year.

[iAmPS3]

Another Masterpiece for the PerfectStation 3
What a year this is gonna be.

May Sony Gods Bless Us All!!!

[avacadosnorkel]

for Japan maybe

[sumfood4u]

A must buy by all means, level 5 made Rouge Galaxy an it was Superb yet underrated! People dont really recognize RPG with out Final in the first Name! I love My Final Fantasy series just looking forwards this one as well!

[Big Jim]

I was really looking forward to this game based on the videos I've seen, but I didn't realise it was made by the same studio that made dark cloud and dragon quest VIII, and now......I don't want to be an a******, but dark cloud and DQ8 really, really sucked. Wow they sucked. Now I don't know what to think of this game. Squeenix utterly destroys Level 5, just completely blows them out of the water. I can't imagine the dark cloud people making a good game. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait and see.

[Obama]

Both games scored 9 across the board, so that only means you have bad taste in rpg. No offense though.

[kevoncox]

Flop.
The graphics look average.
The battle system sounds great but everything looks, sounds and I'm sure feels like sh*t.

Look at the pics....The xbox called...It wants this game back.

[destroyah]

Level-5 doesn't make flops. This isn't Mistwalker, sorry. Hate all you want. I've seen you around and you've got Microsoft's penis so far into your mouth that I find it impossible for anyone to take you serious.

[Obama]

bubble up destroyah. Level 5 doesn't make games like BD and LO that score 7 across the board, and it only delivers tripe A titles.

[kevoncox]

:(
How do i have MS pen*s up my mouth?
All i do is stae facts. Can you find something in my post history thatis fanboyish? People just can't stand the truth.

Truth is this game doesn't look that good.
I thought blue dragon looked good but the Combat was too repitative. Every move was a chop, which was stupid and unfullfilling.

Lost Odysess looked bad from the start. It looked to have an intresting story but graphically was unimpressive.

This game looks unimpressive. Story is "unknown".

[Harry190]

you've been added to my
ignore list.i hesitated for a moment,
but after browsing through your past comments
i can now say that you are a pretty sad person.
don't bother.i won't see your replies anyway.

[kevoncox]

Again no proof just statments...Lol
You like MS. So what. I love games. I'm not like you f*ckers that need to praise 1 console. I like the ps3 and I like Ms. Wii is also intresting. What's funny i just sold my 360 in Dec and will purchase a Ps3 when the price drops 1 more time( i want BC). However, because I state facts about MS and Sony people can't handle it...

Face it this game doesn't look so good. It looks average. I's not like this is FF13. It just doesn't look very good. It's suppose ot be an Oblivion like world. No offense but Oblivion looks better than this game and i's 2 years old. It doesn't look good.

So get out of you little no - p*ssy getting shells and get a life.
You ignored me..so the f*ck what? How does that affect me? It doesn't so...why don't you go have sex wih your ps3 till you fall asleep.

[doodle]

look like piece of sh**

The ingame graphics of WKS is better than THE INGAME MOVIE graphics of Flop Odyssey/ Flop Dragon and all those garbage box 3 fix me games

go play your BREAKBOX 3 FIX ME Kevon TARD

[Nathaniel_Drake]

"Mixing a real time battle system with turn based menu mechanics, White Knight Chronicles is the first game to utilize a menu oriented, chain-combo system."

Didn't Xenogears utilize this system somewhat, for those that played Xenogears do you know what I'm talking?

[destroyah]

I know exactly what you're talking about but you might wanna look at some gameplay vids for WKC. They're not too similar.

[Suki03]

Xenogears was probably one of the best RPG of its time, it's regretful there is no sequel.

[Asurastrike]

This is in my top 5 anticipated PS3 games along with GTAIV, MGS4, FFXIII, and KillZone 2.

[Le-mo]

I'm surprised Sony haven't bought them out yet.

[Harry190]

the funny thing is a fool(hint:kevoncox) is trying to reply.how vain he must be.
i can't and won't see what he's written.
probably insults.that's what intellect-impaired
individuals resort to very often.in his eyes i must be like ssome evil fanboy that he doesn't even care about but replies to.
utterly and desperately pathetic and 'previsible'

[WIIIS1]

This is one of the very few games coming out on the PS3 that I am looking forward to. It had better be good.

[doodle]

there are just too many games for PS3 in 2008 and beyond

However there are 0 games on GARBAGE BOX 3 FIX ME

even in 2007 pS3 had the best lineup of excluisves---Motorstorm ,resistance,ngs, rr7, hs,uncharted,warhawk ,ratchet , UT3

vs 0 games on garbage box 3 fix me

the only 3 games it had are on PC too ( gayers,boring shock and mass DEAD)

[victorMaje]

I have been waiting for WKC and it looks like i'm going to be even more impatiently waiting...

[Suki03]

This is my most anticipated title of the year (if it comes out *cry*). Level 5 never disappoints me with their titles, but please just give a release date...
