Famitsu.com just released the first official Odin Sphere trailer.
Odin Sphere is a 2D A-RPG developped by Vanillaware and published by Atlus. It can be considered as a "spiritual successor" to Princess Crown, another 2D A-RPG released on Sega Saturn and ported to PSP recently.
Release should occur during May 2007 for Japan and US.
Sometimes, bad things happen in games. Here's why that can be a great thing for the overall narrative and gaming experience.
2D games are great, right? If there is one Japanese developer that has embraced the idea of them and ran with it, it is Vanillaware. The company is committed to the idea of games that are incredibly artistic and totally flat. Just recently, Dragon's Crown came back into the spotlight with a PlayStation 4 release. But what do you need to know about this developer? Let’s go over some of the more important details.
It takes a ton of work to produce 2D graphics lavish enough to strain a contemporary game system. This is in fact George Kamitani's modus operandi, exemplified by both Dragon's Crown and its artbook. If the preface in the artbook is anything to go by, Dragon's Crown is George Kamitani's love letter to gaming as a whole.
We start things off this week with some chatter on Odin Sphere, the recently remastered PS2 game. Why exactly are we fighting the same bosses five times in this game?
