i cant wait for the first one, but the new one looks AMAZING

solideagle15349d ago

that dragon and that turtle thing in the end was epic..

thanks

WinterWolf5349d ago

Well, this trailer certainly makes more sense in Japan because the first game has already been released there. However, the first game has yet to be released over here...

ultimolu5349d ago

Damn, that trailer gave me shivers, just like the first one. I hope the first one comes here soon.

ThatCanadianGuy5349d ago

Same here! I got goosebumps watching that

Looks like it got a nice graphics overhaul too.
The characters in the first WKC weren't the best looking.They had a real low polygon count, but, this looks incredible.

Wonder how long we'll have to wait for this one -.-

Simon_Brezhnev5349d ago

Japan devs are on a roll now realising yakuza 4 and white night chronicles 2 surprised its so quick. Square need to take note

callahan095349d ago

Awesome trailer! I loved the first one, and this one looks to have even more impressive scenarios. Definitely excited for it. Hopefully it doesn't take as long to localize as the first one. I played the first one through when it came out in Japan, but it was NOT EASY. Definitely the hardest language barrier of any game I've ever imported. By comparison, I also got Yakuza 3 when that came out, and it too is in full Japanese, but the language barrier was MUCH less intrusive. I stopped playing WKC after about 60 hours gameplay, not because I was no longer having fun, but because I got Demon's Souls and became addicted to it, and then when I tried to get back into WKC, the language barrier was just too difficult to overcome a SECOND time, so I decided to shelve it and I'll wait for the English localization and then start over (which I'll be more than happy to do, because the game is amazing).

Seriously that video is amazing!

himdeel5349d ago

...have the first one and I want the second one more than the first. I need to calm down and wait for gameplay :) Nevertheless, it's definetley a darker tone to the story and a different approach to the cut-scenes in terms of the look.

I just wonder how gameplay is going to look. Will it too be darker and less bright/cartoony? Either it'd be nice if part one and two released in the same year in NA. Maybe even a special edition 2 disc option upon release of the second game with both parts packed in.

I want WKC now

Come to think of it didn't 1up podcast say GT would be out this year?

I hope they change their minds and release this instead.

3sq5349d ago (Edited 5349d ago )

It seems like the graphic has been upgraded.

Aquarius5349d ago (Edited 5349d ago )

...that was CGI.

And how can they be working on a sequel? They don't even know if the first will be a FLOP!, as I've heard the gameplay's original concept has been changed and now its awful. They have yet to release it worldwide!

Will this focus more on the SP? I don't understand.

This is exactly like announcing DLC before the game's shipment. Not interested.

Redempteur5349d ago

Well you know too much and too little.

The first one wasn't a flop in japan .that"s all they need to work on a sequel since the end of the story in the first one hint at it ...

BTW they made several patches that
- add new online options
- add new quests
- fixes problems

so they upgraded it..

You DO KNOW that the game is out since a long time , right ?
And no america is not the center of the world several games can be a succes without being released here.

It's like complaining that yakuza 4 is already in the works since 3 wasn't released in usa ... Learn your facts right , dude.

butterfinger5349d ago

How does it feel to be so uninformed?

DigitalAnalog5349d ago

*slaps head at Aquarius comment.

I'm sorry to say this, but let's face the reality here the whole gaming world doesn't revolve on online gaming, cross/party game chat and shooters.

DiLeCtioN5349d ago

CaptainMarvelQ85349d ago

guess they determine if the game is a flop or not by the jp release and don't care about the rest of the world xD

Xenoblade X felt like Avatar as a game visually. The art in that series is amazing.

This is turning out to be Sony's very own E3 show for the holidays!

Merry Christmas!

@pedrof93

Most likely, yes. WKC was a PS3 exclusive.

pedrof933465d ago

Is white knight 2 a ps4 exclusive then ?

breakpad3465d ago

i hope for a localized Yokai Watch for Vita it seems very interesting and 3 milion Japan consumers are not idiots that bought the game instantly

WildArmed3465d ago

@pedro

WKC2 came out on PS3 as well.

The servers for both games are down now unf. I really wish we see a HD collection of the game. It was one of my most memorable gaming experience from last gen.

I had about 1000 hours into WKC, and 600 hours when they took the servers down in WKC2.

Findingcrybabies3465d ago

I had these games in a backlog for a while, I was very sad to learn that one of the biggest draws to me (MP/online component) had been cancelled.

Fun games, but you need to be careful of how long they expect to support their titles, it seems....not...long.

Minimox163465d ago

Yeah, Im lucky cuz got the platinum of both WKC before that (too many hours lol )

@jspsc123
Im with you bro ! MAG!

nX3465d ago

^MAG was next-gen stuff man, really miss that game.

More Level-5 games = good

joab7773465d ago

This and then Playstation Experience. What? Ni No Kuni 2 please.

guitarded773465d ago

I would take a White Knight Collection for the PS4 and a new game from Level 5 in the chute. As long as they keep servers up for awhile. I think they prematurely shut down servers for WKC on PS3. I know everyone is gonna be crying "Dark Cloud", but I'd prefer a new IP... WKC was originally supposed to be a trilogy, so there is no telling.

WildArmed3465d ago

I understand why they shut off WKC, but I was still playing WKC2 weekly when they shut of fWKC2.

I'm hoping we do see a PS4 HD collection.

elazz3465d ago

These games didn't get high ratings but for some reason I always found the series intriguing? And both games sold well. Maybe they'll make a new game in the series with an updated part 1 and 2

spence524903465d ago

I still have my copy of WKC2. One of the most frustrating games I have ever played. Great though.

gangsta_red3465d ago

White Knight Chronicles was not the best game and got ripped apart by the critics.

Level-5 should make a sequel to the excellent Rogue Galaxy game for PS2. I loved that game!

kratos1233465d ago

Wow people disagreed with that statement.
Man I miss rogue galaxy :-(. It was such a amazing games, all those fantastic characters. I loved all my time with it.

3465d ago
Xof3465d ago

It didn't help that it was one of the first high-prifile bullshot games last gen.

And what was weird about it was not only were those pre-release visuals much better than the final game, so was the UI and combat. And then there was all the DLC-whoring--like charging players to edit their avatars.

The ten finest RPGs you can get on your PlayStation 3

Digitally Downloaded writes: "There's only a few RPGs left to release on the PS3 now. The majority of development for those scale projects is moving to the PS4... but it is worth noting that quality over quantity and those RPGs left to release on the PS3 include Dark Souls II and Drakengard III.

With that said, I thought we could look back at the PS3 RPGs - both western and Japanese, and which I personally felt were the finest the console could offer. I'm very keen to hear what your thoughts are and which RPGs are your favourite on the console, so be sure to sound out in the comments below!"

Valkyria Chronicles
Resonance of Fate
Kingdom Hearts 1.5. HD Remix

Hicken3746d ago

I really hate when people put Skyrim on such lists. It might have improved, but what shipped on disc- which is what gamers bought- was crap Bethesda knew they could get away with releasing.

Skyrim gets no vote from me.

Then the author says people who like Valkyria Chronicles didn't play many JRPGs on PS3. Which is an observation I don't believe for a second.

StockpileTom3746d ago (Edited 3746d ago )

I see Valkyria Chronicles as more strategy than RPG but it really does blur the lines. I think it is in a class of its own and I find it to be a true masterpiece which is a term I don't throw around lightly. (I don't even consider any game in the SOCOM series I love so much to be a masterpiece. The same goes for the Souls games which I believe fall just short.)

I really would love the series to continue onto next gen and perhaps add even more RPG elements into it. I don't have much faith in that happening though since SEGA always sends their games out to die with little to no advertising... then they turn around and kill off good series because of poor sales.

[I'm sorry about all the edits- it is hard to compose my words being this tired.]

joab7773746d ago

Valkeria is my favorite...No No Kuni is a close 2nd. After that it gets muddled. Dragon Age is good. Skyrim is a good open world game but I dont love the world leveling w/ you.

Oh...and Kingdoms of Amalur is very good too.

Treian3746d ago (Edited 3746d ago )

Missing Tales Of Games...

RondoMachete3746d ago

Fallout 3 should be on there,it's the game that got me into RPG's. Still play it and always will,Awesome.

TheSaint3746d ago

Me too, bought it on release and still play it.

McScroggz3746d ago

There are a nice mix of RPG's to chose from on the PS3. Hopefully, Persona 5 will end up being a game that exceeds expectations and is the best of the bunch.

Persona 4 Golden (Vita) is simply amazing.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash3746d ago

Enchanted Arms was my first RPG on the PS3.
