Support NeoGAF

[StuBurns]

Not having decided on things like health bars for TLG makes me think that game has no chance of shipping this year.

NGP is going to be interesting, with the Japanese seemingly thinking handhelds are where multiplayer gaming goes, and the west thinking the opposite, I think we could see more strange platform choices going forward.

 

[gofreak]

Wouldn't storage be what limits them on the NGP?

Maybe, but I'm sure by 2015 when S-E has just about figured out how to port it properly, new options might be available

(That or:

Spoiler

Insert game card 2 now!

)

I'm teasing though, obvs. If S-E has trouble getting something onto PS3, NGP seems a pipedream, even with that little bit extra RAM. Maybe they'll make something for NGP rather than trying to squeeze something else down. Maybe their next online RPG will be made with mobile systems in mind, and then brought over to 'bigger' platforms, so people can play from any kind of system.

 

[Nirolak]

I think by online RPG he means something like Phantasy Star Portable as opposed to an MMO.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Mysterious saintly woman? Maiden in Black's alternate universe self?

 

[wwm0nkey]

Really excited for Armored Core V

 

[Kyoufu]

Really excited for Armored Core V

Me too, but I hope it is better than AC4.

Re: Dark Souls

The magazine also introduces an NPC called "Mysterious Saintly Woman," a variety of enemies like the Dragon Zombie, and a variety of fields like the Giant Library, the Submerged Ruins, and the Marshes. These are all seamlessly connected, as previously announced.

Sounds like they do re-use some of the stuff that didn't make it into Demon's Souls production

 

[StevePharma]

- They're currently looking into the possibility of showing gauges to support the player -- this is one area that Ueda is worrying over.

Please Ueda, don't worry. Leave it HUDLESS ! No gauges, no trophy popping, leave that shit out. It adds so much to the immersion. I just played Killzone 3's campaign HUDLESS and it was the best shooter immersion ever, same with Dead Space 2. If you want to have gauges on screen, let them make sense in the world. I would love HUDless SotC but I guess the HD-remake will satisfy me enough.

 

[AAK]

Gauges? They are still in a period of development where they're unsure about the player HUD???

2013 release maybe?

 

[Cyborg]

24,980 is how muchs $?

 

[sixteen-bit]

I need dark souls in my life

 

[Raide]

The Dark Souls stuff sounds great. The AC online territory stuff also sounds awesome.

 

[jett]

Are there new pics for TLG?

 

[AAK]

24,980 is how muchs $?

EDIT: nvm, see below.

 

[luffeN]

24,980 is how muchs $?

[SSJ1Goku]

$300

 

[INPAQ]

So freaking hyped for AV5!!

 

[Fersis]

No KOFXIII info?

BOO this magazine!

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Well I wonder what form the Tales of series will take on the device. I do not remember them finding critical success with their portable entries beyond Radiant Mythology and the Eternia/Phantasia remakes (Oh and the Abyss seems like a barebones port)

Or even more, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Heroes 4 would be awesome from NB. I would say a Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 since the 2nd was phenomenally epically awesome too.

 

[Yoshichan]

Why do I keep entering this thread, in hopes of getting more Dark Souls info?

I always said I'd want to see the Library level that was not implemented in DS. Guess I'm getting to see it.

The more soon refers to additional magazine information and the rest of the NGP comments.

 

[SonicBoom]

I feel the same

 

[sixteen-bit]

BOO this magazine!

Famitsu isn't an arcade magazine is it?

 

[lupinko]

Famitsu isn't an arcade magazine is it?

Pretty much, you are correct.

 

[Fersis]

Famitsu isn't an arcade magazine is it?

Pretty much, you are correct.

Im talking about the console port. :3
If i remember correctly Famitsu had infoz on KOFXII console.

 

[MightyKAC]

Namco Bandai's Katsuhiro Harada (aka Mr. Tekken) Said they'd probably include NGP in future HD multiplatform plans.

If this translates into Tekken Tag 2 for the NGP then that's 2 sales of that game that Namco can mark me down for.

 

[faridmon]

Armored Core 5 info sounds hot, while Dark Souls does not.

 

[Kyoufu]

Does SNK even have enough money to put it on console?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

If this translates into Tekken Tag 2 for the NGP then that's 2 sales of that game that Namco can mark me down for.

The last two Tekken games came to PSP in all their glory. A straight up NGP version of TTT2 is pretty much a given.

 

[Fersis]

Ive been told that the KOFXIII console port is still in development. ^__^

I agree they were great ports, but "all their glory"?
c'mon son.

 

[BobTheFork]

Other points mentioned in the Fam...s slow. [/QUOTE] Hell no it won't lol : )

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Was anything of value lost in the T6 PSP port? Dark Resurrection was indeed awesome.

 

[Kaako]

TLG warms my heart.

 

[Gunsmithx]

The NGP feature just seems more of the everyone wants to do something for it that's been around already, hope they have something new though I'm not counting on it.

I wonder what gauges they think they need to put into trico? health is pretty easy to do without one, I'd guess climbing, and maybe they think you'd need some kind of affection meter for trico? I would figure most of that could be done hudless.

 

[darkwing]

24,980 is how muchs $?

looks like they are optimistic , its not going to be $299

 

[sixteen-bit]

Was anything of value lost in the T6 PSP port? Dark Resurrection was indeed awesome.

From what I remember, training mode didn't allow you to practice on real stages (so you couldn't get ideas for positioning and such) and there were 4 fewer stages overall

The rest is just throwaway (scenario campaign) or cosmetic (missing items/outfits).

 

[MightyKAC]

Well it did drop the single player mode from the console versions....

So no, nothing of value was lost at all.

Edit: oops nvm

From what I remember, training mode didn't allow you to practice on real stages (so you couldn't get ideas for positioning and such) and there were 4 fewer stages overall

Holy crap, I completely missed this. Although if it's stages that were missing then it sounds like storage issues with the port that I doubt the NGP will have.

 

[Boney]

Phantasy Star Portable 3!

Needs a new name though..

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Man, the TLG stuff sounds amazing, but what is really getting me riled up is the Dark Souls stuff.

"Mysterious Saintly Woman", Submerged Ruins, Giant Library, Black Iron Night...all this shit just screams style! Another article to get me pumped for this game. Words can't express...words cannot express.

Mysterious saintly woman? Maiden in Black's alternate universe self?

Either that or some doppleganger of Maiden Astrea. Either way, something amazing to look forward to.

I love the idea of the bonfire system.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Gotcha, I was mostly thinking of the useless campaign mode regarding Tekken 6 PSP. The stages do make a difference and that wouldn't be a problem for NGP I'd think. Content-wise, I'm sure the three home versions of TTT2 would be pretty identicle.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Konami's Akari Uchida (aka Mr. Rumble Roses)
He's forecasting a bold ¥24,980 price point. He is making an NGP game, he confirms, and says its a game where you communicate with friends. (I'm not sure if he's talking about real friends or in-game virtual friends.)

I would like to communicate with friends while playing RUMBLE ROSES on PSP2!!! >:O

 

[gofreak]

As posted in the NGP thread, the full info on that end is here:

[apana]

TLG is already god tier before the game has even released.

 

[TheThunder]

Absolutely can't wait for TLG and Dark Souls.

Sony really needs to announce a date for SoTC HD, we should've had a date by now.

 

[sublimit]

Wow.The Last Guardian,Dark Souls and Armored Core 5 all in one magazine?
Best Famitsu issue of forever.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Wow I didnt know the Tales Of people were signed on for it

Makoto Yoshizumi (Namco Bandai, Tales series)

The top three features that have his interest are: wireless, connectivity with PS3, and more robust DLC. He’d like to make content that uses these features — in fact, he feels that there’s no meaning if you don’t use those features.

On price, he believes that if the system betrays your expectations in a good way, it could cause a huge movement.

Hiroshi Maruyama (CyberConnect2)

For CC2, the big point is the high specifications. He’s very happy that they’ll be able to use the knowhow they’ve gained from working with HD consoles. If CC2 were to make NGP software, they’d want to make something that would surprise players visually.

On price, he wants ¥29,800, but said it could end up being ¥39,800. Whatever the price, he’s going to buy it.

By more robust DLC...I hope he means that the ones for the NGP will also have Code Geass costumes ^_^ but more importantly, I hope for continued visually stunning Naruto Shippuden games, with visuals that will surpass the stunning anime. Ack, literally drooling at the thought of such epicness.

 

[Bebpo]

24,980 is how muchs $?

Same price as 3DS in Japan. He's saying he thinks PSP2 will match 3DS price.

 

[Totobeni]

Let it go, Rumble Roses is dead IP, I just don't think Konami will bother with it again, it's playing with ZOE and ISS in Konami's hell of forever forgotten IPs.
