White Knight Chronicles: The Biggest PS3 Exclusive that Nobody is Talking About

Much is often made of the oft hyped and upcoming juggernaut's that are Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Little Big Planet and to a lesser extent Killzone 2. All have huge hype surrounding them, and that are all exclusive to the PS3. However, lost in the crowd seems to be Level 5's latest title White Knight Chronicles.

White Knight Chronicles is an RPG that follows the story of Lenard, a boy that finds an ancient artifact that allows him to transform into a 7 meter tall White Knight.

1 - Maybe because...
The game is not near completion? The developers are not doing much marketing for this game? Not many gamers have even heard about this game or what its about? Or the biggest PS3 game is MGS4?

Because I haven't heard or seen much about this game.

1.1 - This game.......
will probaly get a late 2008/early 2009 release date at E3. This is the type of RPG that will impress quickly when they start showing it. I`m glad they haven`t talked about it to much, sometimes that kills the excitement for the game. I`m glad they have done the same with Killzone 2 as well.

It's Level 5, they've made some great JRPGs before with Dragon Quest VIII and Rogue Galaxy. I've already preordered it on Amazon so I can only hope it gets localized for N.A. before the end of the year.

That's what PlayStation Home is for so people can get the word out without spending too much money on marketing. Since you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that it isn't the biggest exclusive PlayStation 3 title.

I personally think the biggest PlayStation 3 exclusive is Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer. No one talks about it so it'll most likely be put under sleeper hit titles.

Oh it's on my list of games to buy in the fall, I haven't forgotten about it. Level 5 makes great games. I wouldn't expect anything less from this title.

The only thing that worries me about this game is that it looks like (a much better looking) Blue Dragon clone (which is a crap game). But instead of "shadows" you have knights. I still hope that it is good, because Level 5 make some great games (did they make Jeanne D'Arc?).

I think this may come out in Late 2008.

i think sony needs to stop showing what they are working on too early especially when the release is so far off. It sucks to say out in december 2007 only to watch it slip into decempber 2008

no, you're thinking about the Last Remnant game that's rumored to include the FFXIII demo.
Eternal Sonata will include 2 more playable characters and some more stuff. can't wait to get it.

And I will also be getting eternal sonata too, I am a big Namco/bandai fan even though they played us by putting it on the 360 first. But its ok still gonna get it.

Yes, it is.

But, it shares that spot with Infamous. Which we get to here about next month (EGM Preview).

IDK why there is no one talking about it .. I own a PS3 .. and I can say this... THE PS3 NEEDS RPGS!!! AND NEEDS THEM NOW... shooters and action? ... Resistance, Devil May Cry 4, Call of Duty 4, Uncharted, .. thats good sh!t... but now work on the RPG genre .. cuz all I see so far coming out is FF13, and White Knight Chronicles

more RPGS plz!

you are correct but keep in mind it takes quite a bit longer to produce a quality RPG than an action game. 2009 and 2010 should be very big RPG years for the ps3

5.4 - well....
@Relientk77
well, you're right but... perhaps there will be titles like Valkrya, Disgeae 3, and one from Ncsoft Aion:tower of eternity,which actually is more like an MMORG. also those 360 games such eternal sonata, and multi-platform games such as last remnant will grave the platform hopefully this year so.. there's quite a few actually. just not as much as FPS have become a more prefer genre this time generation.

not to mention i hear sony is working on sequels to Rogue galaxy and a wild arms as well as dark Cloud game for the ps3 which we should hear about sometime next year when one of the 2 final fantasies 13 games arrive or are near launch time. not to mention star ocean 4 might be ps3 exclusive as well...

5.5 - Agreed
PS3 definitely needs more RPG. The combat system shown on gametrailers.com suggests it not the typical turn base combat. Graphically it looks very good too & in the developer interview they said something about fall 2008 release. Keeping fingers crossed :P

I believe that this game is the most important game for sony this year. The ps3 is getting its ass smacked when it comes to Jrpgs. This should satisfy the ps3 owners that are starving for a good Jrpg.

Even the individual tree branches are moving in the wind. And going from exploration to battle so seamlessly is definitely a great feature. I'm fine with the RPG drought on the PS3 so long as they end up as impressive as this game. =)

I feel KZ2 on the horizon, a dark rolling tempest with one goal. To crush anything that stands in its way. It need not advertise itself, it need not brag, nor hype, nor boast loudly "IM COMING". It will arrive when it wants to arrive and it will lay waste to everything that has come before it.

I hope so anyway. Thought the 1st one was pretty good. Might have something to do with the fact I dont share a first name with many lead characters. I felt special ;)

Love this game but i think the biggest game that no one is talking about is prototype.

The devellopers made Hulk Ultimate Destruction which is one of the best open world destruction games.

Im keeping an eye on both of these games.
