Quantcast



 
The Tales of Vesperia trailer has hit the internet with an air of mystery: Namco-Bandai has not announced which console the upcoming RPG will be released for. Gamersyde has pointed out that it is a 720p video, therefore ruling out the Wii. This can only mean a next-gen RPG, which delights this gamer to no end. On the official site, Xbox 360 is listed in the keywords, so it certainly points in that direction, but we'll have no way of being sure until Namco-Bandai makes an official announcement.
 
More RPGs for the 360 and the PS3 will certainly satisfy a large demographic of gamers waiting for them. I can only hope to see this trend continue, as playing Eternal Sonata was a treat despite its flaws. Until then, my handhelds and their solid RPG selection will continue to be my best friend.

Wow, didn't even know there was a new "Tales" game being developed.

If it is being released on 360, I hope they have online co-op during the battles or something similar. All the "Tales" games were able to have multiple players during the battles, so I don't see why they couldn't do it again. Although they'd have to come up with some clever way to keep everyone entertained outside of the battles.

Everyone watching one player walk around the world and dungeouns = lose.

All I know is that if it is a 360 game, ZERO DAY BUY
If it is a PS3 game, then I will buy it the day I get a PS3
Tales games FTW!!!

Well developers release screenshots in higher resolution than the Wii actually supports so I don't see why they couldn't do the same with a trailer.

But graphically, this looks like it should be on the Wii because I feel Eternal Sonata looked much better than this on the 360 and that's already out.

I am excited for this game for some reason. I hope it will be on both so more people can play it.

Really hope this is on the 360 seeing as it's certainly not enough to get me to buy a PS3

I think it will be a timed exclusive just like Trusty Bell.

@ qwerty:

Innocence is amazing, but Tempest sucks. Phantasia is actually a little worse than Tempest. There are PSP ones too, but my sister doesn't own them yet so I haven't played them.

@ Lightthrower:

This isn't the first time they have been involved with the franchise. Production I.G. has worked on anime sequences for the entire Tales of series.

Lol Tales games. THE most raped RPG franchise in the history of RPG franchises. Final Fantasy is nothing compared to this, especially if you look at what doesn't come out here.

They're fun though, kinda like Star Ocean lite.

Although I've never finished one tales game (eternia was good but pissed me off with the random battles, symphonia was v. good, but had too many games to play at the time), I have to say this looks very good. If it's on 360 I'll definetly get this, need a quality jrpg to keep me going.

Yeah thats gotta be 360 or PS3, no way that can be on the wii. Now TOS 2 on the wii looks like a piece of crap compared to this lol.

Looks good, the backgrounds in the fight sequences look a little bland...(but then again, the game ain't finished...)

RPG. Me want. :oD

It should be on both. But I'd still get it for 360.
