Ideal outcomes: Dragon's Crown, Armored Core, Monster Hunter

Acceptable Outcomes: Bayonetta, Other Vanillaware titles, God Hand, Warship Gunner/Commander

As if God Hand wouldn't be the greatest outcome.

 

[Reinhardt]

I think it will be Tenchu.

 

[Krraloth]

Which Tenchu

Vanquish

I was thought that one too, but that seems so unlikely.

Eh, I can just emulate god hand anyways. Listed those three as ideal because they'd have online gameplay. Though AC is kinda too fast paced for online matches anyways, really need split screen/system link for that one.

Bayonetta would be the ideal outcome since it's originally on PS3

online gaming for cult games sucks anyway because it's hard to find a friend

Seems like the low hanging fruit to me.

No previous exclusivity (compared to Bayonetta), definitely a cult action, not a terribly lengthy or complicated game (as to porting.)

 

[Martius]

Ideal outcomes: Dragon's Crown, Armored Core, Monster Hunter

Acceptable Outcomes: Bayonetta, Other Vanillaware titles, God Hand, Warship Gunner/Commander

Likely outcomes: Some awful 3D sequel to a 2D series, random third rate musou game, Super Noah's Ark 3D

Last option is most likely. Games from first two groups are from for example Sega or Capcom, they could port and publish on their own. Last time after Ghostlight teased action game it turned out to be Way of the Samurai 3 or 4. This time it will probably will be also similar, some smaller or niche game.

 

[duanth123]

They can't keep getting away with this.

 

[GrainWetski]

Very little chance it's a SEGA game as they would just port it themselves.

Three Kingdoms: The Last Warlord, a turn-based strategy game based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Chinese developer: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=795745826

Now Steam page is live:



It's coming to Early Access. And it will only have basic Engrish localization on launch:

To English supporters

Hi there, the Early Access will come with a basic english version( Ui, name, simple descriptions etcs)that may allow you to play. But the full english instruction of the officers (over 1100 based on novels and history), descriptions of items and treasures etcs (Over 400 based on novels and history.) may not come with this lunch, but will be added later one by one.

There is no any english scrrenshot right now, we have not passed the documents to the professional translaoter yet, will be added later.

We are just an small indie team, lack of manpower and financial, so can not do too many things at same time, Please be patient, thanks.

Cheers

Well, let's hope the professional translator is a capable one.

I doubt it, but cheap doesn't always equal bad.

Calling all Slayers!

Toukiden 2, the sequel to the popular demon-hunting RPG Toukiden, will launch on the 24th March 2017 across Europe for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and Steam!

Slayer, ARE YOU READY?!

 

[Martius]

Pc version releasing at same time as console is nice surprise, although I just hope it will be better than port of first one (nightmares still haunt me).

 

[flyingjohn]

Porting toukiden 2 instead of warriors orochi 3 is so weird,especially considering they have been porting both dynasty and samurai warriors to pc.

 

[LESS T_T]

Oh, American release date is March 21: http://gematsu.com/2017/01/toukiden-2-ps4-ps-vita-pc-launches-march-21-north-america-march-24-europe

This would likely be worldwide PC release date.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Cool, looking forward to this. Enjoyed the first one (after I managed to fix the framerate issues).

I think Musou Stars is replacing Orochi so let's wait and see if that will make it to PC.

 

[Martius]

Well, Temco so far released fair amount of musou on steam. We cant say same about monster hunter clones (so far Toukiden and God Eater unless I missed something).

Mobius Final Fantasy coming to Steam.
http://na.square-enix.com/us/blog/c...final-fanatasy-vii-remake-collaboration-event

2. How did the team come to develop the Steam version?
NH: I took part in porting the three installments of the FINAL FANTASY XIII series to steam before developing MOBIUS FINAL FANTASY, so having the experience of porting and releasing a title on Steam was a big factor. Aside from that, the 3D resources were developed in full HD, so we also felt players would get a direct feel for the quality of MOBIUS FINAL FANTASY if it were on Steam.

3. How does the Steam version differ from the mobile version?
NH: We no longer needed to compress assets to shrink the data size like we do for mobile devices, so the 3D resources are much higher in resolution. Furthermore, we did not have to be conscious about saving power when considering frame rate, so players will be able to enjoy the game in extremely high quality in the realm of 60fps to 120fps. Another feature worth mentioning is that we will also support 4K resolution. Players will be able to enjoy a much richer experience that differs from mobile devices, something closer to a console experience.

4. Does the content differ between the Steam version and the mobile version?
NH: The content does not differ. The platform just allows for a further enriched gameplay experience, which is essentially the only difference between the two versions.

5. Can you transfer your account from the mobile version to the Steam version of MOBIUS FINAL FANTASY?
NH: Most definitely. The save data can be carried over from mobile to Steam. Data can also be shared between the two versions, so players can enjoy the game on their mobile devices outside and continue to play from their room with the Steam version after they return home.

Steam pages for Atelier Sophie and Nights of Azure are now live:

 

[flyingjohn]

I know it is not a jrpg but ace combat 7 is coming to pc:

It looks like a return to the original ace combat formula instead of the realistic bullshit of the previous game.

A comparison to how awful the announcement trailer was.
