The news contained in the title seems pretty likely as GameStop, famous American chain of game-shops, "has forecast" that Blue Dragon will hit the American market on the next 5th of June.
In fact, the new and first Mistwalker game, already available in Japan (since the beginning of December), has been inserted in the catalogue near the said date, which is also very near to the one of Bioshock, another exclusive and eagerly awaited title for the Xbox 360.
As usual, Microsoft has not commented the rumour saying that currently the game has no decided date.
It seems we'll have to wait...
I had it all wrong...Blue Dragon is awesome!
Lost Odyssey is one of the best jrpgs of that era but got killed because it was bought up and released on the "wrong" console.
Great game. The 360 had some really good turn based games back in the day. Absolutely loved Lost Odyssey too. I think they are both Sakaguchi creations.
This game together with Lost Odyssey, The Last Remenant and Tales of Vesperia convinced me to buy a 360. This game made my 2007 which ended off with mass effect.
Honestly, a fantastic game, especially if you were a fan of old-school JRPGs. I hate that this genre rarely can come back to these roots.
Destructoid: I remember where I was when Blue Dragon was announced. Although I already had an Xbox 360 and was ready for it, some folks I knew bought one just for it given who was involved (Nobuo Uematsu, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Akira Toriyama): as Mistwalker and Microsoft Game Studios made a mad dash to put out more games from Japanese studios on the Xbox ecosystem.
Blue dragon was fantastic. Love that game. It was my biggest reason for getting a 360.
i wanted to play it, but ...
1. its on xbox
and 2. i missed it when it was on gamepass ha.
I thought it was pretty good but I personally I think Lost Odyssey is better
Also, I know a lot of JRPGs are cheesy but damn…this one was amped up to 11.
I really wish Mistwalker would remaster these games... they're too busy with mobile unfortunately.
The Summer Game Fest 2023 revealed a new Akira Toriyama game called Sand Land, and it has more potential for greatness than a new Blue Dragon would.
Imma call bs on this. Sorry a blue dragon sequel would be dope and much needed. While this one I'm sitting here trying to figure out if I'm interested. I'm kinda stuck on vehicular action. That's where it's losing me.
Why can’t we just get both? In this gamer world of ours, it seems like it’s always one or the other. Games like these seem like they would print money for these development studios if they released multiplatform.
Thatl meen itl be like September or summet in UK. Or maybe never. SOB
as a mecca for all things related to release dates.
NOT.
This is as bad as Hey Zeus posting links to ebgames.com and saying the release date is valid.
Not news. Not speculation. Not rumour. It's a placeholder date so the site can take pre-orders, nothing more nothing less.
That site has the following games down for release on May 1st 2007 :
Burnout 5
Colin McRae : DIRT
Culdcept Saga
Forza Motorsport 2
Lost Odyssey
Sega Rally Revo
Shadowclan
Stranglehold
Tenchu Z
The Club
The Darkness
The Outsider
The Precursors
Theseis
Turok
Urban Mysteries
World Championship Poker
World Snooker Championship 2007
If you can't count that's a total of 18 games, all coming out on the same day !!!! How cool is that !? NOT AT ALL. It's pathetic and false.
Please stop posting release dates from any games website as fact, just official announcements from the developer or publisher in question. Thankyou.
Well it was June 1st, so the fact that they went through the trouble of changing it may mean something (it wont) so give the poster a break at least
