Where The Hell Is White Knight Chronicles?

For a game that's been dated Christmas 2008, it's odd that White Knight Chronicles is not playable on the Tokyo Game Show floor. Even odder because the game was playable last year. When asked why the game wasn't in playable form at TGS, a Sony rep declined to comment. Isn't it unusual for a title to be playable one year and unable the year it's getting release? Developer Level-5 hasn't exactly been open about the game. During the White Knight Chronicles Powerpoint event yesterday, the game's producer, Kentaro Motomura, remained tight lipped on key online modes like whether there will be voice chat or not. The game is supposed to be out in 2 and a half months.

I don't know what they mean. It has a confirmed Japan release date, we've got tons more info and so what if they still want to keep some things secret? Maybe they haven't implemented voice chat but it's not a huge deal since a couple of weeks ago we weren't even expecting multiplayer at all.

Kotaku loves to hate.

Its kind of strange that the game isn't playable though. But the developers did say before TGS they are still working hard on the game and they weren't too sure if they wanted it playable.

Its still a level 5 game so i am pretty confident. Its going to be tough work for them trying to meet that Dec 25 release date

1.4 - Best game ever PS3 FTW.

The game sucks so much, that Level-5 is trying to hide it. Just like what Rockstar did with GTAIV, if people had played a demo of that POS before it released, there's no way in hell it could have sold so much copies.

Look at the graphics by the way http://www.psu.com/media/wh... only diehard PS3 fanboys think this looks good. Even IU has better graphics http://image.com.com/gamesp...

Lanoire, enjoy the (other zone) you clearly don't belong here.

I have faith in this game, it will be great. IT has interesting concepts and lvl 5 are a great dev. But I do agree, where is it? this close to release, it should be on the floor.

Yes Fox, because you've played the game and you knooooooooow it sucks so much.
Unless you've played it, or you're working for Level 5, then I suggest you hold off your snide remarks.

An interesting point, but since SCE is publishing the game I highly doubt that MS has any hand in hiding information.

Kotaku has been disappointing lately... It was there and has a confirmed release date.

Ever think that since the game is less than two months away the team didn't want to waste time making a demo when they could be polishing? They act like no one has EVER played it...

Lets have a demo and push the game back to 09? No thanks.

Is there a gears of war 2 demo? Sure Gears 2 was shown but so was WKC...

People are just haters of this game....

Microsoft has not releaseed a demo of Gears 2 for us to play yet...or have they? I know a leaked copy is out there. But WKC is not done yet.

Gameplay from last year was horrible, even shane from 1UP admitted it. This is why this is even more suspicious in my eyes, probably gameplay suck and they wanted to hide it. They cant give same excuse like last year "It is still early on, they have time to fix it".

After seeing gameplay vids the gameplay looks ace. Plus Level 5 have a great track record so i personally am not bothered. Also any issues will be ironed out for western release as they always are.

11 - Kotaku = epic fail

Kotaku is butthurt because they didnt get a response from the Sony Rep. "But but we are the best gaming blog in the planet, lets put some lies together and write one of those crappy articles we always do".

Kotaku your tears make me stronger.

3 - Fable 2 wasn't available, was it? And that comes out when? Anyways...

...Like anyone gives a rip about Kotaku.

I've never seen a "professional" site get consistently corrected by sixteen-year-olds until I read that wanna-blog site.
