Nice find. The graphics style looks rather cool but I'm not a fan of previous games from this dev (Ankh and Jack Keane).

Hope it's a good RPG and not a shallow one.

3.1 - Yeah --

I've got to agree! The art style looks really cool =)
Let's hope the storyline is as good!

I'm really impressed with the amount of RPGs available and in development for the 360!!

4 - I wonder if

Now, this comment is intended as an unbiased comment, but of course the fanboys will take it for what they want it too but:

Could the Xbox 360's install base plus its lower learning curve which leads a lower development cost equal more RPGs on the 360 this generation than the PS3?

This is a legitimate question. I mean, developers have come out and said that you can successfully develop a game (Uncharted is the classic example right now) for the PS3 but it takes some real energy to learn the system.

I think the point I'm trying to get to is that RPGs are by no means technical achievements. They are a genre built for true story telling and art. So with the 360 perceived as an "easier to program for" console, does this mean developers of RPGs will be more keen on developing for the 360 over the PS3? Yes we have our Final Fantasies and up-coming White Knight Story, but where is the large library of RPGs going to land that Sony's Playstation and Playstation 2 have enjoyed?

Again, this comment was not intended to be a fanboy bash but an unbiased musing...

4.1 - ry-guy....

....I hear what you're saying and while I think that the ease of programming may have something to do with a lot of rpg's landing on the 360 for now, I think for the most part that the 360 is seeing more rpg's cause it has a year over the ps3. So there's more time developers have to understand the hardware. I'm quite sure when more developers get more comfortable with the ps3 mechanics we'll see a boatload of rpgs for the system as well.

4.3 - because the comment doesn't work...

the PS3 was delayed a year in launch, and had it's dev kits released earlier than the 360. Developers had just as much time spent with the ps3 then the 360.

4.4 - Yeah but, Xi,

even the early dev kits that developers received a year before launch were different from the final dev kits; and the final dev kits are different then the dev kits that developers have now. In the same way that the 360 dev kits constantly changes due to it being out and developers figuring out new ways to do things. Also both Sony and Microsoft figures out newer and easier ways to handle the hardware and send it out to developers as well. And, with all the small firmware updates that the ps3 had to make the os work better with the machines; is in vain the same thing that happens with programmers code. Hence why you get incredible experiences towards the end of a console's life cycle. Which is spot on with the comment that I made, which is more rpgs will come to the ps3 the longer it's in the wild and developers continue to tweak at different coding methods. That's all that was said, it didn't warrant a disagree....I don't think.

Looks sick, 360 is looking like the platform of choice for the RPG genre right now...Of course I will be using my PS3 to play the BIG RPG, FFXIII.

Hope this one is good, I am excited about playing Operation Darkness this month, and with a steady stream of RPG's to play I can't complain.

The 360 has more new games and sequels from proven games coming out in 2009 than delayed games from 2007 bub.

If you actually research it 2009 isn't the year of Sony either thus far.

Doesn't matter if its on PC in the console market its not on PS3. Bitter PS3 fans use that as a downplaying tool that simply doesn't make any sense as their stances are based in the console market Arena.

Do you research before you open your mouth.

Love the 3rd pic with the *GIANT ENEMY CRAB*. lol

@Blade

well its good for me because i can play the game without the need for a 360

i meant that its yet another game that doesn't force the need for an Xbox, which is bad for some

@POG

well i wouldn't expect you to think any differently

but i've seen the Xbox 09 line-up thus far- and it's a mix of PC ports and Halo Wars

and neither one of those PC ports is particularly exciting or intriguing- apart from Elveon, White Gold and The Precursor

PS3 has God of War 3, Killzone 2, GT5, Uncharted 2, Getaway 3, Eight Days, Infamous, Twisted Metal, Heavy Rain, Team ICO project, FF13, maybe FFv13, LA Noire and many more for 09.

and what's this... none of them are on PC? they can only played on the PS3? shame.... POG can't afford one

and im sorry, but not a single 360 game will match either GOW3 or FF13 in 09

just like no 360 game matches MGS4 in 08

MSFT designed the 360 like a PC so they could easily get double releases launching on both their platforms this isn't PC winning over 360 exclusives this is a well thought out plan going back before the 360 launched.(as if the PC market competes with the console market) :P------

@dan-boy

im not denying that- every year for the 360 has been great, and 09 will be no exception

BUT.. there's no denying that there isn't a single 360 game that will be bigger than FF13 or GOW3

as for who has the better games, its subjective- but the PS3 will have more console exclusives, more exclusives and the games are more anticipated by the general public
