Oh, From Software ... you really know how to make me drool. Their newest PS3 title, called 3D Dot Game Heroes, takes the cool blockiness of sprites and gives it the high resolution treatment for amazing results. Described as an RPG style title in which a king decides the world should be in 3D, it's your job to deal with retruning it to normal. Problem is, when things look this badass ... who needs to change em back?
Joystiq reports that the game will be out in Japan this November, but there is no US release date as of this time. Don't tell me you fellow retro freaks aren't wetting your pants with anticipation to give this a whirl! For now all you can do is go check out the selection of screens on the official webpage and lick the monitor. A lot of From Software games have made it to the US, includingthe upcoming PS3 title Demon's Souls. In fact, this looks like just the sort of thing Atlus would pick up for US distribution. Ahem ... Atlus?

I'd also really love to see Square Enix publish this as a western release. We know they have two new offices in Europe and America. Somebody localize this. Please.
Also, this is all totally coming from one simple screenshot.
A bit weird that Sony is making this..since they weren't even making games when retro pixelated games were being made!
Dragon Warrior?
WE GOT TO MOVE THESE COLOR TEEVEEEEEEEEEES
And to be fair, Lost Planet totally did this style first with the "Lost Technology" map
Still looking forward to it!!!
I guess you could say the ame thing about persona 4 as well, although both of those are different.. this still looks fresh and new
Its pretty, and unique, but I'm not excited. Its such a gimmick, ya know? Like "Oh people love retro stuff, lets take that and make it HD and 3D and shiny"
I dunno, I guess I'll be that guy for this one.
So basicly this is PIXEL ART, TEH GAME
also when i saw this picture i thought someone made a final fantasy scene in legos.
