Eternal Sonata, the upcoming Xbox 360 RPG that takes place in a dying Chopin's dream looks quite beautiful. If you saw the gallery of screens we had up a few days ago then you already know how incredibly gorgeous it is.
The first of these two clips is a teaser trailer of the storyline showing some cut scenes and a bit of narration. It's a little slow going but the eye candy gives you more than enough to look at while the rather boring narrator tells bits of the story. (They should have gotten Linda Hunt!) The second clip, which can be found the jump, is a bit more exciting with some battle gameplay and spell casting. The music is, of course, Chopin and the orchestration is exceedingly well done.
So, sit back, relax, grab a cup of one of those International Coffees and enjoy the magic and wonder of Eternal Sonata.
BitCultures examines some of the best musically inspired video games.
Gameplane: "Many games can astonish players with creative gameplay or emotional stories. Others are remarkable due to the fun we had with them, while some are simply beautiful. These are nine JRPGs, which made us fall in love with virtual places."
Jerry from BagoGames says, "It turns out that 2007 was an amazing year for gamers, not only did many franchises begin, some started to get their footing."
It's crazy to think that Uncharted came out so long ago. I replayed the series last year as part of the Nathan Drake Collection, and the game felt brand new again, even after all these years. Such an enduring franchise.
I agree, I played all of them, included the Vita game last year just for funsies and they are amazing!
I could only pick 7 ;) They were hard to pick and MW was barely edged out by Halo 3.
xbox gamers don't have taste for games like this. Maybe this is a step in the right direction? As for me I rather have nonstop action and killing.
not ALL xbox gamers can stand to play FPS 24/7. Many of the more mature gamers appreciate games like this to create some diversity in their game library. These games will prevent some from having to buy a sony console to play RPGs, and I for one am glad for that.
