| Platinum Games announces Infinite Line |
|
Posted on May 15th, 2008 |
Platinum games, a company formed of former Capcom and Clover staff members, have recently announced a new Nintendo DS RPG entitled Infinite Line. Infinite Line will be directed by Hifumi Kouno, the mastermind behind the Clock Tower series.
This game will be a Sci-Fi adventure, featuring many different planets that each have different types of people and a unique culture on each of them, kinda like in Rogue Galaxy. So, obviously, it can take quite a bit of time to travel from destination to destination, so to counter this, the developers will be implementing a warp system that will allow a player to instantly warp to their desired location. Not only will you be able to travel planets, but there will be the ability to build your own spacecraft. Each craft will require a blueprint in this game, but don’t worry, because there are plenty of these to go around, with 150+ said to be in the game.
In this game, there will be 200+ characters, each unique, and some of them will even be able to join the crew of your spacecraft! There will also be a wireless “PvP” mode in which you can battle other people’s characters on your DS WiFi connection.
Infinite Line, although with no defined release date, is expected to come out sometime next year. Look for it!

| New X-Edge Details |
|
Posted on May 11th, 2008 |
Some new details from X Edge, the new game in development by Compile Hearts, have been revealed. You should know by now that some characters will be making an appearance in the game, ones from RPG’s such as Disgaea and Ar Tonelico, but there will be a couple of new, lead characters that will be fighting alongside them.
The game’s protagonist is a young man named Kannagi Yuuto. This young man is a “problem child” who is quick to get into fights with those around him. It doesn’t help that he comes from a family that is full of renowned martial arts experts, which makes him well-versed in fighting.
The female lead is a young woman named Mikoto Aiba. Her parents died when she was young and ever since, she has been raised by Yuuto’s family. When she was little, she had the ability to see the presence of souls, but that ability has faded over time. Now, she only sees various nightmares in her dreams.
The producer of this game will be Norihisa Kochiwa while Kenta Sugano will act as the game’s designer.

| X-Edge Announced! |
|
Posted on May 7th, 2008 |
Finally, Something for RPG players with a Playstation 3 to be excited about: X Edge. (Pronounced Cross Edge.] Sure, Final Fantasy XIII, Versus XIII, and Last Remnant are in development, but knowing Square-Enix, who knows when they’ll release the trio of games stateside. But for X Edge, it’s already 70% complete! Not only that, but it features some popular characters from games by companies such as NIS, Namco Bandai, Gust, Capcom, and more!
So, what is it? It’s a turn-based RPG that will allow players to put up to for characters in battle. You can assign skills to buttons, like Triangle, Circle, X, and so forth. Sound like Valkyrie Profile? It seems to to me, but it should be a lot different than that series of games.
So far 12 characters have been confirmed to appear in the game:
Mue (Spectral Souls)
Marie (Atelier Marie)
Roze (Mana Khemia 2)
Liliane (Mana Khemia 2)
Morrigan (Darkstalkers)
Felicia (Darkstalkers)
Demitri (Darkstalkers)
Etna (Disgaea)
Prinny (Disgaea)
Aurica (Ar tonelico)
Misha (Ar tonelico)
Shurelia (Ar tonelico)
When will this game release? It should be in Japan sometime this September and Hopefully a US release date will be in the future.

| Get your corrected Okami Boxart! |
|
Posted on April 25th, 2008 |
If you haven’t heard already, Capcom had made some bigggg mistakes when they released the Wii version of Okami. Apparently, there IGN logo is visible on the boxart of the game. Oh, no! What kind of company does that?! Well, thankfully, for those of you it bugs, Capcom has added an “art redemption” page where you’ll be able to grab a copy of high quality box art for your Okami game. Of course, they don’t ask for verification that you actually bought the game, so hey, if you want some art? Get it while it’s hot!
