d_dogg20075678d ago

wow your telling me that white knight chronicles has 16 player online? An RPG with 16 player online? THats insane i mean i dont really like rpgs that much but dam im gonna have to try this one out

mikeslemonade5678d ago

Please give us the exact time so we know when to tune in.

BISHOP-BRASIL5678d ago

Wow! Didn't know about the 16 players online too.

I think they are trying to push to western standards so the game can sell well in North America (Europe would just buy a good RPG anyway, as obviously do Japan). Just hope this don't get into the JRPG style, cultural focus, all we expect from a genuine Japanese tittle (I'm not some kind of purist, but many of my favorite japanese tittles have been mix with western elements so much that I would like a original one for a change).

jwatt5678d ago (Edited 5678d ago )

Is it seriously 16 players or are we making this up?

That's awesome if true!

SixTwoTwo5678d ago

Microsoft teaming up with Square Enix...
Sony teaming up with Level 5...

juuken5678d ago

Tee-hee.

Liquid Dust5678d ago

Anybody know what time in the US and a site that is going to be doing a live blog? I know 1up is at the MS conference, surely someboy is covering the Sony one.

NegativeCreep4275678d ago

but anyway, that Japanese chick in the photo is pretty damn cute.

joeymp5678d ago

I knew they were going to do a conference. Like I said about the other story that said they weren't going to have one, it would just be stupid not to. Japan is their home. duh..

that WKS has killed competition for SONY

I think WKS has won SONY the console war in Japan

more pwnage from SONY

@infinite

WKS runs at 1080p native

It has 100 hours of gameplay

It has 4 player co-op

It has 16 player online

It looks and plays better than any RPG ever created

I expect LEVEL 5 to announce atleast 3 new PS3 rpgs tomorrow

Lanoire5678d ago (Edited 5678d ago )

While the Tekken 6 announcement was disappointing, it will not stop Sony from winning.

Sony has already won. As expected from MS (just like at E3), they really really don’t have ANYTHING to show for. Not one GOOD exclusive, 95% are multi platform titles.

And just like at E3, their biggest news consisted of a former PS3 exclusive going multi platform…

As much as the fanboys cheer, this really don’t have that big of an impact.
The days of exclusives are gone and done for. 97% of the games WILL be multi platform.

Xbots are laughing now. But sooner or later the same thing will happen with Mass effect, Gears of war etc. Then its our turn to laugh. And those days WILL COME.
In the meantime, Sony has created a mountain of top class development studios. And the fruits which we are seeing right now.

LBP
Motorstorm 2
R2
KZ2
Etc.

These cant and wont ever become MULTI PLATFORM. So now where you gonna go?

Same cant be said about MS. MS cant spend, spend, spend forever. The purpose of business is to make money. Not spend it. They are hanging on for dear life.

facepalm5678d ago (Edited 5678d ago )

...Let the battle begin!!

EDIT ADDED: "MS" versus "Sony" for TGS supremacy..

White Knight Chronicles looks Better than Final Fantasy 13,Wait until you see the Latest Build

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies22h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken18h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 9h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 9h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt21h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken18h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 15h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 14h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 14h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1d 4h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
