Tales PS3 to break new ground; new Tales of Graces F details

Scrawl: "The latest issue of Famitsu shed new light on the 15th Anniversary Tales of title and Tales of Graces F for PlayStation 3. The two games were recently announced during a special press conference held on Monday morning."

It's cool to see a developer actual listen to consumer demand.

[Stunt]

Yeah? Tell them to bring these games to the west, then.

[Army_of_Darkness]

Well, I'm definitely excited for it!.... Just as long as they don't pull that episode 1-3 crap on us!

[TheDeadMetalhead]

If you live outside Japan, Namco hates you, Period. These games will never get localized. Instead, Namco will bring us such masterpieces as Dead to Rights: Retribution and Clash of the Titans. Yeah...

[ClownBelt]

Oh like releasing Vesperia here in the West for the PS3? Yeah they listen alright. I just can't believe I've read that sentence.

[KingNintendoFanboy]

Developers listen? Well maybe sometimes.

[Natsu X FairyTail]

bought an xbox for Tales probably gon buy a ps3 for that new tales so they better bring it.

[Obama]

I know they lost money for making TOV for the 360 in the west, and that they have some financial trouble, but they should definitely give the ps3 a chance with TOV.

[Danja]

they better off not releasing it on the PS3 in the west it wouldnt sell that much anyways.. you guys should just import if you really want it that bad

[Game-ur]

They lost money because they never gave their fan base a chance to grow, they keep releasing tales sequels on different platforms and scatter the fan base, they should just go multiplatform, and that won't be difficult since the games hardly push the graphics engines.

The other problem is obviously the lack of commitment for localization; if dubbing the whole voiceover is intimidating for them Namco should just translate the text, the choice Sega made with Yakuza.

@Denja
if Japanese games had an English text option I would import like 50 games an year. Makes me wish fansubing games is plausible.

[Theonik]

Fansubbing is one of my most wanted features for the PS4. What's the point of region free platforms if you can't change the language?

[Game-ur]

@Theonik

It's simple to do for Manga and Anime, but very difficult for games as it needs dedicated programmers.

And I don't believe the publishers excuse that translating games costs lots of money, not when European games have more than 10 languages to chose.

P.S.: I'm actually playing Policnauts these days, a fan translated Kojima game

[silvacrest]

have you come from the future?..... no? thats what i thought

it wont sell massive amounts that is true but it will sell enough to be worthy of localization

i hope namco aren't put off by poor 360 sales in japan and the west, they need to sell their RPGs to the fanbase that actually plays RPGs

[Theonik]

Yeah i know translation costs money that's why i say they should allow us to patch our games or install language packs. (instead of harcoding it make an updatable file in the form of a database)

[CrzyFooL]

Get Some!!

[Nitrowolf2]

BRING IT TO THE WEST

[sikbeta]

*Hopes the same*

[theunleashed64]

it better be coming to west

[gano]

Keep vesperia.
Bring this and graces. And we cool bandco.
Stop bullshytin.

[Kamikaze135]

But then I realized it was a Tales game...something we only scarcely get in the US, lol.

[J@D]

come on, bring those two to the west!

[smashman98]

i rlly wanted to play tov :(

[VsAssassin]

In the letter, I asked them if both PS3 Tales games will be released stateside. I hope they respond with a more favorable email, and not just some safe reply.

[SuMtOnE]

jus bring the tales of destiny to the PSN

[sashimi]

"Tales of Grace F will include an after-story that takes place six months after the end of the game. The after-story is three script books long. For comparison’s sake, the main story is four script books long. That’s basically a whole new game added on to the original."

I really want the game now....Namco....better bring it state side.

[Redempteur]

i know i know the feeling .. i want tales of graces translated too

[TwistedMetal]

games from japan on the ps3?

[Redempteur]

when did you dream that ?

[silvacrest]

do we have to do to get tales released here??

yakuza has already shown that localization can be worth while on the PS3, just give us a chance
