Sacred 2: RPG Heaven?

2 full campaigns, "drop-in" cooperative multiplayer, 6 story lines, and completely customizable characters.

Ascaron Entertainment is bringing quite a bit to the table this time around. You have an entire world at your fingertips. Seamlessly woven together for hours upon hours of exploration, monumental battles, and bloodcurdling dungeons. S2:FA is a very ambitious title and if they can pull it off, this could be one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

Wasnt there a Ps3 version of this game? Find it hard to believe atari will shaft Sony users again.

[bgrundman]

I believe that the games is now a PC and 360 exclusive, sorry Pennywise.

[killyourfm]

Right you are Pennywise - although their PR company certainly isn't promoting it...

I'll make the category adjustment...Thank you.

[bgrundman]

Looks like I stand corrected... sorry for the misinformation!

[killyourfm]

I need to contact Relate PR about this - the video shows only a 360 version alongside the PC box art. GamesPress however shows a simultaneous PS3/360 release in February 09.

I'll get hold of my PR contact and get back to you, gang.

[Pennywise]

Well this game was on my radar for a good RPG, but I went to ebgames.com and it isnt listed for PS3. I could of sworn they announced it for PC and consoles.

I hope it is, would love to hear what their PR division says.

[bgrundman]

Now that is what I call service! Thanks for looking into that.

[SixTwoTwo]

There is a PS3 version. At the end of the video they stuck it behind the 360 boxart making it difficult to notice.

[killyourfm]

Lila Yee at RelatePR has confirmed that a PS3 version is being produced.

[Pennywise]

I thought so!! SOOOO Is it due in Feb??

[ThanatosDMC]

I played the PC demo... it wasnt as good as i expected. Hopefully Diablo 3 will save this type of games.

[killyourfm]

Yep, should be February 17th for PS3/X360

[Fox01]

Most of the people I know, that bought the PC version said that the demo wasn't good and that the beginning of the Full retail version is boring, but once you've passed the tutorial, the game is really, really good; RPG/Hack&Slash fan will love it, they said.

I'll wait for the 360 version though; just to be able to play with my XBL freinds.

[JimmyJames70]

I'm becoming a big fan of RPGs and I'm stoked for this one.

[creeping judas]

good stuff, they are some of the better genres on any console IMO.
Ive been playing them for a long time, anyone remember ZORK on the commodore??

[CrAppleton]

Ah.. Zork the great underground empire.. classic!

[bgrundman]

Does anybody know what the minimum specs are to run this bad boy on PC? If that cut scene is reflective of the whole game, you may need quite a rig to pull it off.

[Jimmy the Greek]

id like this one but im not a member of the pc gaming master race so ill have to wait until february for the 360 version

[CrAppleton]

As will I. Looking forward to this one though. It'll be nice to see what the PC version has to offer to scope out what we have to look forward to.

[killyourfm]

It's much cheaper, less time consuming, and more headache free to be part of the console race anyway ;-)

[CrAppleton]

As Killyourfm stated. Gamespress shows a PS3 version to launch alongside the 360 version. So I don't think anyone needs to worry about missing out on this one.

[Pennywise]

Sweet! Thanks.

There will never be enough Co-op RPGs, especially on consoles. Now if only they could make it offline co-op! Baldur's Gate style, but with good items and skills this time

[CrAppleton]

that would be pretty pimp.. but it might take a bit away from this particular style.. idk.. either way.. Im happy with online coop!

[heyheyhey]

yeah they announced a PS3 version AGES ago... where have you been Pennywise???

anyway, i was unclear on what the game is set to deliver, reading the article has colored me intrigued

slight problem... this seems to be launching alongside WKC.... which is a big no-no for me

[CrAppleton]

Well.. stick with me over at GamesAreEvil.com and we'll show you what you should dig into ;)

[BoneMagnus]

I'm really looking forward to this game, but I'm gonna wait until I hear how it runs on the consoles.l

[xav0971]

definitely in. 2 players only though. the minimum specs for Sacred 2 is a joke. I'm trying to run it on pentium 4 @ 2.8ghz, 1 gb ram, X1950 (256mb ram)AGP radeon, windows xp. running it at 1024X768 all minimum. using hack to turn off grass completely and I finally get playability at 20 to 25 FPS. When I had grass on 10 to 15 FPS. WTH??? that's why I say always go by the recommended spec for games to run properly on PC.

[RedNectar]

my PC might be able to run it. i will keep an eye out for it on xbox!

[LewisDenby]

Spent the last few days playing through this for Honest Gamers. Was a big disappointment for me. The opening is excruciatingly bad and, while it picks up a little bit, the bugs, nasty design choices, awful dialogue and derivative world hold it back throughout.

I'll link to the review when it's live - or someone else might post it, I don't know.
