IGN: Infinite Undiscovery: Battle System Discovered

Square Enix is gaming's preeminent Japanese RPG developer/publisher. Steeped in decades of tradition, Square Enix has made a push in the past few years to modernize its combat systems, drastically altering its turn-based combat and in some instances embracing a real-time combat system. Infinite Undiscovery, from developer tri-Ace, brings gamers full real-time combat.

IGN spoke with Hiroshi Ogawa, Director at tri-Ace to get the low-down on how Infinite Undiscovery's combat works and to understand why the developer chose to create a system quite different from Star Ocean's.

i must say the gameplay looks cool but its destined to flop in sales because of being exclusive on 360!!

bravo SE

Blue Dragon 500,000 worldwide as exclusive RPGs done by an unproven developer with a staff that brought a great following that was beginning to fade in the eyes of the hardcore RPG crowd.

It's not like Tri-Ace busts out Final Fantasy selling RPGs everyday. Star Ocean Till the End of Time (my favorite PS2 RPG) sold only 1.29 million worldwide on the all mighty 140 million install base PS2. Considering Lost Odyssey performance, what makes you think that Infinite Undiscovery can't meet those figures? I say they can.

Looking forward to this come September 2.

..Can't wait...

Though I'm somewhat old-school RPG gamer..

I luv JRPG's so luving the Xbox 360 right now..

RPG Guy5740d ago

360 is where it's at these days. Hopefully Sony brings the goods next year, more than just WKC (though I'm looking forward to that game!)

TheColbertinator5740d ago

I hope this one turns out good.But I am more interested in that Star Ocean 4 game.Last Remnant on the other hand will probably suck because the guys who are making that game are the guys who made Drakengard.

RPG Guy5740d ago

I know the developer's past, but the title is something totally new and is very appealing. I can only hope that it lives up to the hype.

Tri-Ace still uses their old game engine from 2008

The gaming community lately makes jokes about companies making games that look like "PS3" or "PS2" games. While this is such a nasty dig, there may be some truth to this in the case of tri-Ace.

Sad really. I used to love these guys but man...they just aren't what they used to be.

phallusitator348d ago

According to the this they are exactly what they used to be…

Noskypeno348d ago

The Cod games have been using an engine built in the mid 90s. Nothing wrong with using an old engine if they update it. Bioshock used UE2 and looked better than most UE3 games. Arkham knight used UE3 and looked better than most UE4 games.

Chriswynnetbh348d ago

I would give my left nut for an infinite undiscovery pc port

shinoff2183348d ago

Sh it does suck but I enjoyed star ocean 6 the most out of any game last year. I thought it was solid af start to finish. My favorite game that year.

I'd love for Sony to get ahold of them.

shinoff2183348d ago

To late to edit but I just wanted to add not every game that comes out needs to push a consoles boundaries. Star ocean 6 looked fairly good to me.

shammgod348d ago

Yeah. They definitely squeezed every drop out of that engine for SO6. It was a fun game

nitus10348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

I assume you are talking about "Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness" which I do have and am still playing. IMHO it is a good game but for some reason I still prefer "Star Ocean: The Last Hope" that I played on my PS3.

As a side note I have "Star Ocean: Till the End of Time" (PS2 version) which I played on my first gen PS3 but unfortunatly the Australian version of the PS3 did not have full backwards capability like the US version did. I got so far in the game and hit a bug (advancement to a new area between two mountains) that prevented further play.

Already? No more bc games to be added? This is huge news.

slate911799d ago

What a good run. Assuming every og xbox, 360, and One title will be available on Scarlett. Will make next gen transition easy. Hats off!!

Bigman4k1799d ago (Edited 1799d ago )

I'm not surprise at all I saw this coming

AK911799d ago (Edited 1799d ago )

As long as they continue adding more BC once the Scarlett comes out.

badz1491799d ago

FGHFGHFGH1797d ago

I can see most of these coming to gamepass sometime this year. Even some of them could make it GWG.

lxeasy1857d ago

Some of these are exclusives so I def see them coming to gamepass.
