Cross Edge a new RPG

talkplaystation.com writes: "Here is a new JRPG (japanese rpg) to look forwards to. Developed by Compile Heart and the name of the game says it all, it crosses edges. Why? Because Cross Edge features characters from Capcom, Nippon Ichi, Bandai Namco, Gust and Idea Factory.

Some of the characters are as follows:

CAPCOM - Vampire Darkstalkers series: Morrigan, Felicia, Demitri
BANDAI NAMCO - Ar-Tonelico series: Orica, Misha, Shurelia
NIPPON ICHI - Disgaea series: Etona, Prini
IDEA FACTORY - Spectral Souls series: Miu
GUST - Atelier & Mana Khemia series: Lilia, Rose, Marie"

i hope this is release in every other region also besides japan

Foliage6570d ago

I hope so as well. This game looks like it has some good potential. I wish there were more details.

too many series/characters rights owned by different american companies, as well as diff companies in other countries. it would be a mess to sort out legally and financially just to put out a game that might sell bad since ppl might not know about it.

that's why these types of games have never come to the us, even though they have been going on for years in japan.

Palodios6569d ago (Edited 6569d ago )

They are owned by as many companies in the States as they are in Japan. If the game is good, it may see a port. if not, it won't. Its more of a problem that besides the darkstalker characters(and possibly disgaea).... most Americans have never heard of these characters.

So many familiar faces in there. Freaking Japan always gets all the good stuff. :(

Looks like I might have to import even if I don't speak Japanese.

Surfman6570d ago

bring us RPGs for the PS3, as much possible please. The PS3 needs it.

Wildarmsjecht6570d ago

I get the chance to play as a Prini outside of Disgaea? GODD DOOOOO WANNNNTTTTTTT!!!!!! :(:(:(:(:(:(:

Top 10 Enthusiasm Killers in Games

BT: "We’ve all been there. You’re playing a game, having a great time, and then all of a sudden you’re hit with that one thing that will absolutely kill your enthusiasm. You think to yourself, this particular quirk of the game won’t show up too often, and when it does, you’ll be able to power through it. But no! It turns out that particular quirk is one of the main gameplay mechanics!

I have so many games sitting on my shelf that I haven’t finished. Games that I was just unable to get through because there was something about the gameplay, some annoying hitch in the game’s design that just completely killed my will to go on and made me shelf the game. Of course, there is a scale to such annoyances and some of us are willing to endure one more than others. Even though tolerances may differ, I think most of us can agree there are some common threads that run through these games.

There won’t be any special rules for this list, but instead I’m going to include a brief list of some common offenders of the things that I list. Bear in mind, this does not mean these are bad games. Even the best games sometimes suffer from something that really causes your enthusiasm to take a hit. So let’s take a look at what we all love to hate!"

“Save the Princess” Syndrome, is in almost every game. It can be saving the world or a person.

Pintheshadows5329d ago

I just hate things that don't fit. The planet scanning in Mass Effect 2 for example.

gcolley5329d ago (Edited 5329d ago )

i don't understand how there can be bad AI in any game these days. surely, unlike graphics, it should have matured but instead seems to just be rewritten for every new game from the ground up. is there not a couple of AI middleware players out there waiting to clean up?

how can a game today have the same AI problems as a 10 year old game?

good article BTW

Devil May Cry's camera makes navigation more interesting...and not a chore like many other games. I love DMC!

Voice Actor Spotlight: Melissa Fahn

TGT: Girls that look like Melissa Fahn never gave me the time of day in high school. They discovered I watched anime, played video games and practiced my own amateurish voice acting in my spare time and immediately turned their noses up at me. Nerd. Geek. Dweeb. Freak.

So to come across such a stone cold stunner sharing my exact interests and providing the voices behind some of my favorite anime and video game characters, I’m a little taken aback. Beautiful, funny, smart, nerdy. It’s a geekified grandslam. But sorry, Melissa. I’m married, you’re married. We’d be doomed to failure. It would never work out between us.
