Shuhei Yoshida has admitted in an interview with Famitsu magazine that Sony has 5 RPGs in first party development. VGTilt has a rough translation of the interview on their website and quotes Yoshida as saying that Sony are "also working with 3rd party to ensure we have those kinds of games coming in from their studios as well."
This will provide welcome news for an RPG starved Playstation fan in Japan. With White Knight Chronicles, a third party development, kicking off on Christmas Day, could the RPG glut fans have waited for be arriving in 2009?
With the ninth mainline installment looming, it feels like the right moment to rank every mainline Resident Evil game from worst to best.
At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.
I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.
The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.
The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.
Original Saints Row design director Chris Stockman has declared the Saints Row franchise is "dead".
I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.
I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.
The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.
OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.
The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
I like the use of the word "admitted", as if it's some kind of crime for Sony to use their first party studios! :P
Legend of Dragoon 2 and a new Wild ARMs please.
PlayStation 3 will once again reign supreme as the RPG King. Passing the crown from PlayStation 2 onto PlayStation 3, consumers will realize that only PlayStation 3 offers them AAA RPGs not found on any other console.
I would like to thank our studios hard at work at bringing the best RPGs this generation into consumer households that's only possible on PlayStation 3. RPG enthusiasts alike will be rushing out the stores to buy our console when they hear this fantastic news.
PlayStation 3, The Return of the RPG King.
well we know the internal one coming from them is WKC which is second party, and we know that 2 exclusives are being made, one from Squareenix with FF:VS13, and the from FROM SOFTWARE with Demon's Sou,
so i'll be glad to see if Sony reached out to Konami and paid the cash to have them penny up a next gen exclusive Suikoden 6, I'm curious to see what are the 4-5 other 1st party RPGs that are in dev for the PS3. because it's been 2 years and the only rPGs that have hit the system is
weak low grade western RPGs. and some one left to be desired JRPG, that came in the form of Enchanted Arms... WKC should be the first and best rated RPG to come out in a while and should prove to be the first true next gen RPG, With Level-5 behind it, I'm sure it will be good.
Legend of Dragoon 2, revealed at or before E3 2009.
