Little-known fact: despite the upswing of next-gen hardware, a few great games are still waiting in the wings for the PS2. For those of you still deeply entrenched in last-gen or just looking for some, y'know, games to play on that PS3, Atlus' Odin Sphere is due out on May 22nd, and looks to be shaping up pretty damn well. This video, courtesy of Famitsu, showcases the game's stunning 2D sprite-based beauty and a taste of its action RPG gameplay. If it plays half as well as it looks, we should be in for a wild ride.

looks like the sprite artists modeled some characters in 3D then converted the animation into sprites... im wow'ed. I was like meh, looks shitty of the beginning but once it gets into the fantasy.... nice!
For the record, ps2 > (ps3 + wii + 360) in the only way it matters: games.
At least it'll be here before the a PC version of Puzzle Quest... then again, I might have a 360 by then anyway.
Is it like ulimeted sega where the game allows you pick a character at the begining and each character's story is linked to the other stories
or is it just one mass party
just wondering
Here's to hoping they're correct!
Holy crap.
....HOLY CRAP.
It's a side-scroller. I guess the only thing I could compare it to would be Maple Story except the difference is that this doesn't suck. There are five people and you go through each person's story one at a time as far as I can tell.
yea it looks that way
thanks
the hack and slash gameplay and the anime art style is mkaeing me want to get this game
Tyco: "What is this feeling? i'm tingling inside"
Gabe: "i don't know, joy maybe?"
Tyco: "it burns ussss"
Ah, yet ANOTHER reason to hold off on getting a wii/360/PS3...
Really... between the games i have yet to play and the few new ones that are coming out on the PS2, it will be awhile before i really feel the need for next-gen...
PAL gamers? Not so lucky. I might have to acquire this through nefarious means. Sigh.
So, how long until the 17th?
In-fucking-credible.
Thanks for the heads-up!
