Star Ocean 4 and the Last Remnant Playable at TGS

Square Enix said Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope and the Last Remnant would be at Tokyo Game Show, but in what form? The ambiguous presence might be accredited to where both games are going to be found. Inside the press release announcing Infinite Undiscovery's release in Japan, Microsoft said playable builds of Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope and the Last Remnant will be inside Microsoft's booth.

I really can't believe how great star ocean looks :D

HyperBear5711d ago

Last Remnant looks pretty good also, but indeed, Star Ocean does look pretty good. Both will be great JRPGs that will be coming to the 360. Do you know if they are both slated for 2009? or is one coming out this year?

Le-mo5711d ago

The Last Remnant is slated for fall 2008 and Star Ocean: The Lost Hope is slated for fall 2009.

nieto5711d ago

where can i find realtime footage or pics of Star Ocean 4?
or are you people judging by those fake blurred pics?

-don't come disagreeing because that proves nothing. ;-)

ThePhantomDisagreer5710d ago

Why are all the charachters girls? To hell with jrpgs, too bad really because they always have kickass art direction, except for the ladymen you play as.

Still kinda bumed that Sqeenix doesn't have any plans yet to release Star Ocean on the PS3 but still can't wait to see how its shaping up, that and Last Remnant. ^_^

meepmoopmeep5711d ago (Edited 5711d ago )

wait for the TGS surprise announcement

;P

JD_Shadow5711d ago

That could still happen. I'm not sure what this article is trying to make us suspicious of, but I think it might be that SO4 might not be exclusive.

Here's hoping it does come to the PS3. I think it's about time MS lost an exclusive for a change, especially coming from the same company that screwed Sony at E3.

Bathyj5711d ago

Does anyone else think its funny or see the irony that Star Ocean is subtitled "The Last Hope"?

Bladestar5711d ago

no... I find it funny that with every upcoming new RPG games you guys keep saying it's the xbox 360 last chance.. and yet they keep pumping RPG games left and right...

Bathyj5710d ago (Edited 5710d ago )

Pumping is the right word. You know what else pumps? I'll give you a clue.

It runs through a sewer and is of about the same quality as most of the Xbox's JRPG's.

Now can someone tell me which clown took a bubble just for having a joke. Man you guys are sooks.

Great.I can't wait to see more of Star Ocean 4.I've been with Star Ocean for years.

Imallvol75711d ago (Edited 5711d ago )

Give me Kingdom Hearts, FFXIII, and FFXIII VS please. K THNX BAI!

I have not seen any RPGS that interest me so far in this generation, and yes, I tried to play Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. Ugh . . . Infinite Undiscovery has a cool premise but the reviews have made me ready to pass this up. I don't really expect either of these to be any different.

They have so many game in development including huge games like FFXIII, FFXIII VS, Kingdom Hearts, Dissida, etc. etc. They are just handing these games to people to finish and get them out which doesn't make me expect much from any of them.

TheColbertinator5711d ago

I id'nt like Blue Dragon either.But I thought Lost Odyssey was OK

Harry1905711d ago

Wild Arms next gen,Grandia Next gen, Shadow Hearts next gen and Persona 5 next gen.

InMyOpinion5711d ago

The best RPG's this gen are the western ones, such as Oblivion and Mass Effect. I'm more interested in Fallout 3 and Fable 2 than I am in any JRPG at the moment. Might change though, I used to be an avid JRPG gamer.

While I agree that the combat in Star Ocean 5's combat is pretty fun, saying that its story is more enjoyable than its predecessors is highly debatable. Also, it's not just the technical issues the game suffers from.

Gaming4Life19811555d ago

Star Ocean 5 was garbage and I was a huge star ocean fan.

Docmortem1556d ago

Completely disagree the games I played from the list all deserve their scores (Star Ocean, Nier, Tales of Zesteria, Type-0). While there are certainly people that love these games, they have flaws in many categories, that justify those scores.
Star Ocean especially bored the hell out of me. Lame story and face roll battle system (I finished the game anyway). These games are really niche and when rated by a broader public, fall short. In my opinion even in their own genre.

solideagle1556d ago

I personally have not played any game below 80 and thought wow this should have been 80-90 game. The only game I thought should have been 90 was Shadow Hearts II: Covenant. I am pretty sure there will be some games but average score usually is pretty good indication.

do you recommend any JRPG which you think were good/amazing but it didn't score well? I just purchased Tokyo xanadu but it seems way too slow like trails game but trail at least has good story. I will give it a shot

rainslacker1555d ago

I think there were quite a few JRPG games that got hit with lower meta scores last gen when all these reviewers were on their anti-anime tropes kick. Not that they should get up there into the high 80s or 90s, but they weren't 60-70 games either.

That's mostly died off this gen, thankfully

WickedLester1556d ago

Ni No Kuni 2 is way better than it's metascore.

solideagle1556d ago

I think Ni No Kuni 2 combat is pretty generic but if you add all DLCs then its combat is pretty awesome. I purchased the complete edition so I can say DLC changes the combat completely

FinalAeonX1555d ago

Ni no Kuni 1 is way better than its metascore

Father__Merrin1556d ago

meta scores are rubbish best ignore them. many gems out there

solideagle1556d ago (Edited 1556d ago )

can you please name few?

Kocurstvo1555d ago (Edited 1555d ago )

Useless to argument troll, but e.g. Eat Lead is hilarious and extremely funny, yet mediocre on metastupids.... Lords of the Fallen, Strange brigade... I could name hundreds

It's a good game, but the story is only okay. The gameplay is where the game really shines, but the game itself does an atrocious job of explaining it's own systems. Basically, you need to read a "what I wish I knew before I started" somewhere online, and then the game becomes great.
