The best game that permits standing-on-shoulders-totem-pole-style attacking, or, as our very own Ron Workman would say, "one of those games with words and numbers," has some lovely new screen shots hitting the internet now.
PS3 strategy RPG Disgaea 3 looks wonderful if you're into that kind of thing. Jim Sterling dug up a nifty trailer, but these high-resolution screenshots from Gamersyde can't be beat for geeking out to.
It's a big strange to see high-res backgrounds and menus against lower-resolution character and enemy sprites, but the game still looks great. There's still plenty of numbers, words, and totem poles to keep Disgaea series and SRPG fans happy.
Japan will see Disgaea in January 2008. We're still waiting for word on an English language version.
Check out the screenshot highlights in the gallery below.

This is laziness pure and simple.
I loved the original, but cmon, the sprites detract immensely from what could be a great game IMO
i'd pay full price for it.
im that much of an NIS whore.
its sad but i would too...
seriously though i think they are going to release the Disgaea anime on the bluray with this...other than that its a waste of disc space...or it may just be a downloadable title in the same vein as Warhawk and tekken
also i wonder what kind of DLC this game will have..
Seriously, if they hi-rezzed the whole damn thing, it would probably sell tons more. Sure the hardcore will still buy it, but the current look won't grab any news fans...
Still, SRPG fans will lap it up I'm sure.
Hell, with those looks they wouldn't really need to work hard for optimization anyway.
@bottled dark
pheh... if you really were a NIS whore you would buy a PS3 just to have this game... which maybe one of the reasons i myself might eventually breakdown and get a PS3 XD
if the ps3 drops, this will be the first thing i buy with it.
im not made of money though.
Gah, Nippon Ichi had the perfect opportunity to set the bar for what a next-gen SRPG should look like (they've definitely got the talented artists for it), and yet they didn't. What a shame. :(
it looks better than the PS2 counterpart and D3 COMBINED!
No shitting.
D3's the only thing that remotely interests me for the PS3 or on the PS3's horizon, so since I'm not made of money, I'm not going to sink a couple of hundred just for this, even being the NIS whore that I am.
Also, "up the wazoo" is a term not coined nearly enough.
