New Tales Game Reveal Coming December 12

Namco Bandai is set to reveal the next entry in the Tales franchise on December 12.

That's according to Siliconera, which reports that the announcement will be part of a NicoNico stream taking place at 7PM Japanese time. Following the stream, the teaser site will be updated as well.

tales on ps4? that would be great, might get the rpg ball rolling

[MWong]

I am going to be getting a lot of RPG's this next gen. I really cannot wait for a Tales title.

[sinncross]

It is definitely a Sony console considering the devs published the info of this website on the PS JPN Community blog.

Somehow, I doubt it is the PS4 release (I think cross-gen at best which is a good way for Namco to at least help facilitate the move for fans from PS3 to PS4).

[LightofDarkness]

I doubt it. They said in September that they are only just starting to investigate the next gen consoles. That's just not enough time to have anything to demo or show off right now.

Most likely this will land on 3DS or PS3. It might even land on Wii U.

[Dravidian]

While I love my Wii U and will be ecstatic if it's announced for that platform, I seriously doubt it'll go that route. Symphonia chronicles didnt even get on Wii U...

3DS and PS3 seem much more likely...but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[Tidybrutes]

I doubt it will be on next gen personally.

Im happy whatever platform it lands on but id geuss at PS3.

[3-4-5]

Really looking for an RPG to sell me on the PS4. I want one already but I'm waiting it out a few more months. I feel like I'd be impulse buying personally.

Still have a ton of Ds/3DS/PSP games to finish first.

I've yet to play a Tale of game but thinking about getting Abyss 3DS.

I've heard it usually only takes one game to get hooked on the series...wondering if that is the right one to start with.

Hoping this announcement is amazing.

[Gregard]

I would start with Vesperia if you have a 360. That one is my personal favorite. Otherwise Xillia. IMO you should play one of these newer titles for your first tales game :)

[Dutchpinoy]

Please, please be revealed for the Wii U!

[AceofStaves]

*fingers crossed for PS3/PS4 reveal*

[DanielGearSolid]

Just tell me now motherf*****s

[Blastoise]

I'd put money on it being a PS3 or 3DS game.

Would be cool if it was a Vita game though

[Inception]

With all the interview from Hideo Baba, i think it will be for PS3.

[Blastoise]

Just another JRPG to look forward to on PS3 if true :)

[Tidybrutes]

I hope its not on Vita as if it is then Namdai wont localize it. Look at Tales of Hearts R or Tales of Innocence R, everytime they are asked if they are going to be localized they say no as the Vita insall base is too small.

At least if its on PS3 it will most likley get localized like Graces F, Xillia and Xillia 2.
(Even though id love to play a tales game on vita personally)

[mii-gamer]

ps3 most likely

[Chrono]

It will be on PS3 or Vita. Why? Based on reading the recent interviews by the producer of the series, he said:
They're currently not interested in Xbox.
They have no plans for Wii U.
Their main fanbase in Japan are PlayStation owners.
They have just started testing PS4's capabilities.

[Snookies12]

It's a main title, so it'll be on console. So, PS3 it is.

[JackieCruise69]

Hey Namco-Bandai, how about you quit being stingy pricks and help out the company that helped save your ass?
You know. Nintendo? I expect to see the game come out for Wii U or I refuse to support you guys any longer.

[Inception]

Nintendo saved Namco-Bandai ass? When?

[JackieCruise69]

"...Namco had sunk into such severe debt during this time, they had to close down their Tales studio. Even after Nintendo announced that Namco had been brought on to work with them for some Wii U games, Namco, in an almost embarrassed fashion, said “We have no plans for further Wii U games.” Even still Nintendo persisted to aid them in the development of Wii Sports Club, a guaranteed success for the Wii Sports crowd, that’ll bring Namco back into the black. It’ll be up to Namco-Bandai whether they want to further support Nintendo or not, and I hope that the Namco audience realizes how ungrateful of NB it would look if they don’t."

[Inception]

Ok, from your link, i thought the article had an actual proof of how Nintendo helped Namdai ass. But all just wild assumptions from an unknown writer. Example like this:

"Namco had sunk into such severe debt during this time, they had to close down their Tales studio"

I don't know where the writer get this...info. But Namdai not closing Tales Studio, but they merged the studio with Tekken team, Soul team, Gundam team, or any team they had into one single big division consisting of 1000 staff
http://www.siliconera.com/2...

The reason is Namdai believes this will speed up development and increase efficiency while sparking creativity and improving the team’s skills. Not because Namdai had several debt that they can't pay.

Also, if Nintendo consoles is a guaranteed success for Namdai, than why Namdai choose Sony consoles for the majority of Tales series? Why not just release Vesperia, Xillia 1 & 2, or remake the best selling Tales such as Destiny for Wii / WiiU???

To bad the writer doesn't ask this question or compare how Tales series sold between Nintendo and Sony platform. But he/she keep on rambling about how "Nintendo Spending Money to Heal Damage Caused by 7th Gen Excesses". Lol, it's like an article written by extreme fanatic who worship Nintendo as a God.

[Tidybrutes]

@ jackiecruise Thats not really how buisness works. Namco Bandai dont owe it to Nintnedo to put Tales games on Wii U.
They will put the games where they are most profitable, nothing more to it than that.

[SoulSercher620]

Looks like you won't be supporting them any longer. However long that was. BTW Namco Bandai doesn't owe Nintendo anything so get off your high horse.

[Fringe_Agent13]

People, It will be on PS3. That's where the money is at for Tales right now.

[VsAssassin]

Well, as long as this new Tales game comes on the PS3, I'm all good; however, I want PS4 to smother us with tons of JRPGs, so we can see a brand new era of gaming in which JRPGs reign king again. I'm talking about a new PS2 era, of course!

By the way, this game will be revealed Wednesday 2:00 AM PST or Thursday 7:00 PM Japan time.

[Sephiroushin]

"Tomorrow 7PM / Dec 12"

Already Dec 12 in Nippon, 4:18am; so that means 15 hrs until stream starts up... Which means THU 5am EST / 2am PST ...

Here's the link for the stream !

I highly doubt that a Tales game would come to another Xbox console, except for Vesperia which MS bought exclusivity for outside of Japan, they make games exclusively for Nintendo or Playstation consoles, as they always get a Japan release first and a lot of people don't even know what an Xbox is in Japan. This will most likely be for the PS3, if its for the PS4 it could be a Japan launch or launch window game. It won't come to the Wii U, imo, because it has sold poorly, which makes it even more doubtful that it will be on the PS4, even though it is the fastest selling console ever, as its brand new.

Blah, blah, blah. Never mind, it will most likely be for the PS3. I would LOVE, FREAKIN LOVE IT, if it were on the PS4, though.

[Relientk77]

Sweet can't wait to see it

[feraldrgn]

Yes please. :]

[SoulSercher620]

Probably PS3 but would be surprised if it was on PS4. Either way I would be satisfied.
