Some good news for RPG fans who went with the PS3 like myself.

Dragon Age: Origins released Europe on Oct 23 Info
Its more an action/adventure/RPG of the Fable nature from the looks. But you have multiple playing paths which is always good for playability.

White Knight Chronicles released Nov '09 Q&A
More Final Fantasy style'd then DA:O and apparently with great online capabilites so..... much awaited.

Demon's Souls released Oct 6th Info
More action/RPG again but hey, we can't afford to be picky. Game footage looks ok, and previews seems decent. The online aspect seems good, allowing users to pop in and help youat any time if you wish, but this quote troubles me "but we were told that at a certain point in the game--once you've received a particular stone--you can force your way into another player's game and vice versa."

There is also some more info on.....

Final Fantasy 13!!!! Release Date Early 2010
Seems to have a lot more information than when I last looked on the Wiki Page


UPDATE 20/08
Here
A new Tri-Ace game, for PS3! Fans of Lost Odyssey rejoice!

Couple of interesting point here too [LINKhttp://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q2-2009/042209a.html]Linky[/LINK]

To be fair there's not been much RPG's this gen (certainly not compared to the PS2 anyway) although what has come out has been quite good (Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea 3 especially) hopefully once FFXIII comes out then it'll pick up

Don't know why, and this should not be true, but it seems to be that the PS3 is for the guts and blood gamers, with your big graphical FPS's, whilst the xbox seems suited to a variety of other game genres being promoted.

Same Emmie, same. Although played Lost Od, Blue Dragon (amazing fun IMO) and errr..... another one.

But on other news FF Site European Version!

but then again, the Xbox is getting cheaper (well probably the lowest now) but you can pick one up £80ish i reckon. If you ebay local and go collect, offer them cash.

So if there were say 5 games you wanted, it would warrant buying one!

Still a shame because i got the Ps3 hoping it would have loads, i opted for the Xbox later due to it not happening!

No Emmie its not. :( No release for US/EU

This is actually the whole issue with PS3 not having RPG's. You got to Japan and it has hundreds.

They have stopped releasing them in EU/US because they do not sell enough to make decent profit against the Jap market. Developers can make them cheaper or something for 360 so......

SO it is extremely likely that we will not see TOV on PS3. :(

The characters were insultingly stupid. The part where Edge became all moody was almost unbearable

ToV for Ps3, good news Warhunt!

And i agree with Star Ocean, i really enjoyed the first part then grew tired of it by 1/2 way through (probably that annoying little girl who said "Kay" with everything!)

ToV is coming out in Japan, with some new content, for the PS3 - from the wiki
"Tales of Vesperia will be ported to the PlayStation 3 in September 17, 2009[13] with additional content as well as a different logo"
There's no US or EU release announced though.



I wouldn't really advise anyone to get Star Ocean 4. The battle system and basic RPG mechanics are solid, if uninspiring, but the storyline and characters and art design are really a bit hateful. It's a horrible mix between Sci Fi and classic JRPG nonsense. Towards the end I really grew to dislike pretty much everything about it apart from the battles.

I had heard that it might be but then it was probably a rumour. Not sure to be honest.

Really is a stella game and i am enjoying every aspect of it. Even happy enough to battle for 30 mins levelling up before moving on.

Gah, I shall change the name of the thread to RPG (non-PS3) then :( Damn 360 and all its RPG glory.

Haha, is TOV coming for PS3? I have not heard of this?
