Hamamura : Let's go back to talk about Demo itself. How you willing to bring this Demo to customers?
Sakaguchi : You can play at TGS for sure. And we put Demo disc on Famitsu early November.
I think users can't play full of demo at TGS, So I hope them to check Famitsu and play everything.
Hamamura : I can't wait it as well. So when are you thinking final version will be released?
Sakaguchi : The release date should be 2007. I cant figure it ...
Sakaguchi : I believe Mr.Inoue's influence was really huge. Since hardware is Soo powerful,
we could make more eye-candy in monsters and visual effects. but we afraid them spoil Inoue's atmosphere.
Having been in Inoue's world, We could easily make a decision about LO's art directions.
Hamamura : Looks like its battle system is almost done as well.
Sakaguchi : No, this is pretty basic one. In this Demo version, we didn't implement two of key feature...

The water effects are unbelievable. And nice to see Itagaki so bullish on 360, as always.
Off topic, here's a first look at another 360 jrpg, Tri-Ace's Infinite Undiscovery

I cannot wait for LO. The in game models are said to be nearly identical to the CG ones; and judging from that scan, I'm inclined to believe it.
that Sony couldn't come up with anything themselves, so they...outsourced.
On the plus side, it gives them a nice scapegoat for when it fails.
Either KI3 or Banjo-'Threeie' would be welcomed; both exclusives would fill a void in the two genres 360 is really lacking in: the Fighter and a light-hearted, Mario-esque platformer.
Co-op is going to be a blast on Live.
Long live 2D.

"Expect to hear some kinda interesting news about a very interesting upcoming console at 12:01 a.m. EST Friday. The embargoed news was sent out to a bunch of newspapers and websites with the understanding that no one would print the information until first thing in the morning.
"While I'm sure you will all find it ...
and that's exactly what it is.
But $219.95 is an odd price point.
Consoles normally launch at $_49, $_79 or $_99.
Seems kinda unusual, but then again so is the Wiiiiii!
Anyway, it's a good price, if true.

" Even when Sony was claiming that there'd be 2 million PS3 consoles available at launch, we made a prediction: if you wanted a PS3 on launch day, you would need to pounce on the one guy in your city who managed to get one as he walked out of your local EB, crack his head against the pavement until he passed out, consume his heart f...
"So I checked out the first 15 action-packed minutes of the nearly hour long Lost Odyssey TGS demo yesterday and I was completely blindsided by how f'ing awesome this game looks and feels (in the emotion stirring sense).
I don't know if this game is going to "steal TGS" or sell a million Xbox 360s in Japan, but goddamn it is an impressive piece of work that will turn a lot of heads. Takehiko Inoue's art direction has taken on a maturity that goes even beyond his...
