VWGTI: It IS a typical, confusing, weird Japanese tac-rpg. It's just that Disgaea is one of the best at what it does. I wouldn't call it a revolution though, it's just so hardcore that the hardcore gamers cream themselves over it.

I loved it, but couldn't make myself finish the first. Sorry, but it was just too much to the point of alienation.

I think the reason Disgaea is on PS3 and not PS2 is because there aren't really many games out for the PS3 right now so it makes sense to, oh, I don't know, release a few games for the system?

I mean I know this could just be dumb Sony shooting themselves in the foot again. I mean come on, release a popular franchise on the PS3? I thought they didn't wanna sell any units!

OMG that is soooooo next gen!

I can see the rational to put it on the PS3, but I don't think this LOOKS like a PS3 game. I love Nippon Ichi's style, with simple graphics and insane special effects. However I would love it if they could actually take a few steps towards updating the fucking graphics every now and then.

I'm not saying I want realistic graphics, with sweaty plastic anime characters swinging swords in brown and gray environments. But Nippon Ichi makes so much money on their games it wouldn't kill them to perhaps up the ante a bit, perhaps aim for Odin Sphere or GrimGrimoire style 2D graphics.

So yeah I can see where Jim's coming from a bit. Course I know despite all my belly-aching I'll still pick up the damn game when it comes out. I've never ONCE completed a NIS game, but I just can't help myself. Something about having it in my collection just makes me feel more...I dunno...hardcore? Creepy? Both?

I was about to say what CCGames Mike just did. This shouldn't be on the PS3 because graphically, it still looks exactly like the PS2 game which didn't exactly have impressive graphics either. If they redid the sprites in HD and made them look like the regular designs (instead of the Super deformed kind) in game, it would belong there. If they aren't going to update the graphics even a little then it might as well be on PS2.

I wonder what the MSRP will be. $60 would be a f'n insult.

I'm going to buy it.

so it will sell 1 copy

Are you fucking kidding me? DISGAEA ON PS3 WFT???

...well they lost 1 sale. I cant afford a PS3 for a long time, and so until then no Disgaea for me. Its too bad, I love the series and if it was on PS2 I would buy it on launch day

>So it might sell a whole 2 copies :(
Hey, with me included it's up to 3!

It'll be fun to see what happens when everyone realizes how great the series is, desperately tries to get a copy and realizes that it had a terribly small print run from N1. Then, like last time, I can ponder selling it to the eager for $300 or so.

I'm in, now were at 4 copies. Sure no one's buying a ps3 for this game alone, but when you add up enough games that you want that aren't worth getting a system for you get a system worth owning.

i guess that would be a good compromise jeep. that way i'm not feeling like all that 'incredible expansive' space isn't wasted on...PS2 games. Plus I haven't checked out the Disgaea anime yet (yes I'm a terrible person bleh) so including that in the package would make it more tempting...

I like the series.

I want to play the third game in said series.

The third game in said series is for a system I do not own, and will likely never own.

I won't get to play the third game in said series.

Sadface.

Well, even if the platform decision is weird, you can't deny that it has music with zazz.

wow... way to push it to the limit.

shit...


now i need a fucking ps3

thanks jim. i blame you for NIS's decisions.

Weird decision. There's no way this is going to help the PS3 - Disgaea is just too obscure (not for people obviously, but we're hardcore, rite?).

Seems like they could have put this on the PSP, garnered more sales that way, and helped the handheld out with a great title...

I heart Disgaea with my whole body. Especially my penis. Any Disgaea is good Disgaea. That will be all.

Disgaea really is an awsome series... though i have been very disappointed with the graphics being used. I mean, when i first heard disgaea 3 was coming to the PS3, i was thinking of Nippon doing with disgaea 3 as what was done with Street Fighter HD; high resolution spites... but nah, comes out with the same old same old...

The only non-Business reason(giving PS3 more exclusives) i could see for bringing disgaea to PS3 is prehaps to reduce slow down. don't remember if it happened with some of magic in the previous disaea games, but i do know that sprite games can suffer from series lag if there's too much shit that's going on... and that disgaea 3 video had everything playing very smoothly... however, at those low graphics i'm not sure if it would be a problem since i don't remember the games clearly enough, nor do i think it would prevent them from releasing on the PS2... one thing i haven't found out yet is for a game like Odin Sphere, if the lag that goes on in that game still occurs while playing the game on the PS3... though on the other hand, with Sony pushing away from BC nippon couldn't rely on a PS2 game being able to be played on the PS3 (however, the choice to make it a PS3 game came way before that news, so that's a rather moot point)
