Eternal Sonatais one of the most beautiful games ever made (demo and gameplay video for proof) and the DEV is doing one of the dumbest things you could do with a game and thats release it withina week or 2 of Halo 3. What makes it worst is Dev has said the game is complete and they are still holding it.

I want Eternal Sonata more than Halo 3, but most people don't, lol. It is a dumb move, but I doubt they will grab the same audience. I mean I'll buy both, but most Halo guys don't like these kinda games.

DIW?

I agree, but developers can't just sit on a game. Sucks.

Im far more excited for Eternal Sonata after playing the demo than Halo 3. So it doesnt really matter to me. And as someone else said, your average halo player isnt into these kind of games anyway, so I dont think it will have a big effect on sales.

Crackdown and FFXII are not on the same platform like Halo 3 and Eternal Sonata are... there's a big difference there. If they are done with the game and are holding it to release it around the time of Halo 3's release then that is the dumbest move they could make. They should release it now in the middle of summer when there aren't a ton of games and people will most likely buy it.

Greatest sig ever. That card was awesome and Diaz pulling a gogo on Gomi after a war was amazing. I might have to get a good sig like that now. Maybe Frye vs. Takayama.

not always true, i loved halo and one of the biggest fans of it. since it came out, i have the books and love them, but i also love rpgs, theiris not manygenres idont like, except sports. the only game i really cant stand is the most overrated one, GTA that crap is soboring, but thats not what im getting into, i love me some rpgs, my 2 favorites are number 1, parasite eve, and number 2 FF7. followed by many more,and i cant wait till lost oddyssy, blue dragon, and eternal sonata,. huxley.

thats an mmo/fps/rpg. it will rock.i love action adventure like mario 64, and banjo. not to mention many more, i am a true gamer, and dont limit myself because of genres like i said i just dont like sports, except for the occasional racing game.

I just found a ton of them at Sherdog, but I found something even better...



LOL. I've seen it before, but I wasn't expecting to see it at Sherdog. Jeff's popular all over the place. He's the man.

EDIT: Actually, I have a gif of Frye vs. Takayama somewhere. I just need to find it.

The amount of Halo 3 that will be sold will be staggering, Once again you can count on Halo 3 equaling a Blockbuster movie release with dollar amounts of 50 million+. Eternal Sonata will get over looked mostly becuase ppl are not going to drop 120$ on video games in a 2 week span even if they are RPG and almost all Xbox 360 owners will buy Halo 3, and this fantastic game may never take off nor may we see a ES2 becuase of it.

I don't care about Halo 3. My pick would therefore be Eternal Sonata, the playable demo was also greatly enjoyable. Plus, you are able to receive a beautiful Xbox 360 faceplate when you Pre-order the game at gamestop/EBgames.

Well, I wouldn't call it a dumb move. It's not like it's in competition with Halo 3. Their two completly different games. And I'm sure it wont for ever change someone's mind about each game.

If someone wants HAlo 3, they'll get Halo 3. If they want Eternal Sanota they'll get Eternal Sanota, and if they want both, they'll get both. And if they can't get both at the same time, they'll pick one up first(probably Halo 3....) and then get the other later.

As for Eteranl Sonata's look.... I think it looks great, but it could probably look a bit better.

Most Halo guys are your average 15 year old leetist sitting at home not buying any games that don't allow headshots or massive pwnage. Hey, you gotta get respect some how...

If you are able to get the Official Xbox Magazine (August 07 / Issue #73) The front-page shows the World Exclusive Annoucement of "Bourne Conspiracy."

It has the playable demo of "Eternal Sonata" in it.

There is a playable demo on the Japanese market place you can download if you have a Japanese silver account (wich I recommend you make) Or you can get the demo disc in the most recent OXM I believe. Fantastic demo, played it through about 6 or 7 times now.

Nice choice for the sig. Salmon probably wishes that fight never happened. What makes that gif of Jeff even better is the fact that he is wearing a Mario Van Peebles shirt.

Theres not alot of room for 360 games around those months. Bioshock8/21 Blue Dragon 8/28 halo 3 9/25 kane n lynch and mass effect might drop in sept. Gta4 10/16 half life 2 - 10/9 AC - nov. Games like Army of 2, Lost odyssey, too human,Merc 2 and DMC 4 are still out there. Plus its two different genres and fans for those games.

Not everyone loves shooter games more than rpg games. They are two completely different games that, for the most part, will be appealing to two completely different audiences. I'm almost certainly going to give Eternal Sonata a look. I probably won't even bother with Halo 3.
