Metal Gear: Peace Walker
I have been going through Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots recently and while I don't expect that quality on PSP, playing it has fairly risen my standards.
Before TGS, we already knew some exciting facts about Peace Walker. Kojima stating Peace Walker will be his MGS 5, MGS 4 team working on the game and some amazing videos from E3, all had made for one of our most anticipated games on PSP.
We had the final blow at TGS though, where a truly stunning story trailer was released, featuring details on Peace Walker's plot and characters, not to mention the great soundtrack (specially the song "Heavens Divide") and great visuals with the comic-like cutscenes we already know and love from Metal Gear's previous installments on PSP.
Capcom's original RPG for PSP
Being an RPG freak, I have been longing for a quality old-school title after Tales of Eternia on the PSP.
Seems like Capcom has been working on such a game, a PSP exclusive named Last Ranker.
Tatsuya Yoshikawa has done the characters design. He has worked on projects like Devil May Cry 4 before.
The game sees Kazuya Niinou as its director who is quite experienced with handheld games, having 7th Dragon and Etrian Odyssey in his resume, both of which were well-received DS RPGs.
The main scenario writer is none other than the old hand, Kazushige Nojima, the name behind wonderful scripts such as those of Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy X. His most recent oeuvre is Final Fantasy XIII.
With such an eminent crew working on the game, one can expect one of the PSP's strongest RPGs. The game will be available in Japan next year.
Final Fantasy Agito XIII is not dead!
YES! Two screenshots were released during TGS which show the game is not dead after all. Last I heard about it, was at TGS 08, where a trailer was released.
At this rate, I'm not sure if the game will make it to the stores before PSP's lifespan ends, though. And the fact that it was initially considered to be a mobile game, doesn't make me feel any better, either.
As I mentioned earlier, little is known about this game. Actually apart from some screenshots and some details about the gameplay, we have no information about it. This game exists and it will probably use a battle system similar to Crisis Core and that's it. No release date or anything like that.
PS3 250GB Final Fantasy XIII bundle
Such a cool package. A sweet 250GB HDD, nice illustration of the game's protagonist, Lightning, on the top and of course, a copy of Final Fantasy XIII, all for $461.76. Now, that's a great deal……..for the Japanese. Yes, as always such stuff are Japan-only. Oh well, I guess when we start supporting games like people in Japan do, we'll get stuff like that overseas, as well.
