Angie Santiago reviews The Guided Fate Paradox on the PlayStation 3: "The Guided Fate Paradox is an RPG from the creators of the Disgaea series. However, if you’re hoping for an exact replicated experience of Disgaea, you might want to pump the brakes a bit. While the art style is the same as that of Disgaea, the gameplay isn’t exactly the same. The Guided Fate Paradox follows a young high school student named Renya Kagurazaka who stumbles upon a lottery and becomes God. He is then thrust into a world beyond anything he could possibly have imagined."
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.
