Look star oceany

In what way Supa? (Just curious)

I knew this was coming, so not really jumping outta my seat or anything. I am however Excited in a restrained kinda way. There's no guarantee this will get get a localisation. though. Sucks to have a japanese hobby.

Oh, does anyone know which systems(s) this will be out on? EDIT: nevermind, stupid me, PS3 in the title.

^guess it was the camrip-like quality that got me, not speaking about the artstyle, but the way the shading looks.
but maybe if I see the trailer properly my mind will change

I see.

It looks to me like they probably used the same tools/engine that they used for Xillia's character designs. This is just at a skewed glance, though. But they look strikingly similar to Xillia's models.

uh hello? we've already gotten 4 ps3 tales games in english. tales of xillia 2 was confirmed for english release for the first game even came out. namco thinks we still need more tales games on ps3. clearly tales is making them a crap load of money right now. i think there's 90% chance that this game is going to see an english release. i'm not even worried anymore

actually its not even just tales games, its anime games in general. namco are localising almost every game they've published this year. i think were past the point "oh god i hope this game comes out in english"

@ragna: We do seem to be getting whole ton of JP games don't we? Yes, this is nice.

However, I won't get hyped about something that hasn't been confirmed. Because I know from past experience about getting excited something and getting dissapointed in the end.

I'm not saying it's NOT gonna happen,in fact, as you say in all likeliness it is. Rather what I'm saying is that I acknowledge it, and we'll see if it happens.

O.o
Wow...

Nice! Looking forward to it

Can't wait for this. Now just Xillia to get under the belt. And it's not that far away

Not surprised considering they have clearly decided to put all the PS3 titles worldwide (except for Versperia, a shame that wont happen) and the Zeteriia trademark has existed in the US and EU for a month or 2 now.

But still, such early confirmation is great.

Did we ever get a good reason why we won't get Vesperia for PS3 around these parts? Was it a licensing thing or what?
Vesperia is still hailed as one of the better Tales games...

@Teb.

We never got it because Microsoft holds the rights to Tales of Vesperia in the west. It was something stupid like that sucks because the PS3 version comes with a whole new character and other updates.

Microsoft holds no rights whatsoever.


The only reason why PS3 never got the game in the West is because when the time came, the Tales team was just too busy to put resources into localising the game.

This also happened to be at the time when localising Tales was a massive financial risk for Namco. Now its not, but its just too late. Maybe it will come when the finish this Tales and move onto the easier to develop PS4 title. But I wouldnt hold my breathe.

Personally I see this being the last tales game on PS3. Cant say I am all that excited for it as Xillia didnt impress me all that much in the end and this seems to be the same engine.

As for vesperia I still think it will come eventually, but maybe as a digital only release.

They do.

It's pretty well known as fans are pretty upset about it. We actually will never get the ps3 Tales of Vesperia port. Ever. namco bandai has said so. The only way to play it is to import and use a guide.

So here we have the same person accepting that she made a mistake. Even her original comment that MS paying for Tales is like Sony paying for heavy Rain made zero sense in her original comment.

Fast forward a year to:
http://gematsu.com/2012/07/more-tales-remakes-planned-confirms-producer

“Actually, the team is working on many titles and they have to release them in Japan, so the timing is very important,” he said. “And also the localization is a big challenge with many problems for the team.”

So I go back to what I said, they were too busy to localise the game and therefore it never got the release on PS3. It has nothing to do with MS having some exclusivity deal.

because they dont.

I bought a 460 for Tales of Vesperia. My favourite Tales game. Yuri is such an awesome character. The movie was just as good. Yuri = Best(in my opinion) Tales of character

@Sinn:

I checked out your links and did a little research of my own. You are indeed correct. I was unfortunately under the pretense of false information.

I hate being wrong. But I hate being misinformed even more. Now I know.
