• Reimagined history of ancient Greece - Help Plato and Socrates maintain order in an Athens shaken by change

lolwut socrates was the one shaking athens with change. These guys didn't learn that at Stanford?

I think they've meant whatever shit villain is doing.

Re-imagining history would be pretty fucking useless if they tried to be 100% historically accurate

or join Cyrus the Persian prince on a quest to liberate his people.

This game is relevant to my interest.

Tales of Symphonia is free to play and 66% off this weekend: http://store.steampowered.com/app/372360/

Looks like they've fixed many of the port issues.

JRPGs are such a weird choice to offer as a free game for the weekend. I mean sure, Tales games take a while to complete but you realistically could accomplish it in 48 hours.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Would take a lot less time and effort to do the same for most single player games. I could probably finish skyrim blind in under 12 hours.

[GrainWetski]

I can't believe they're not releasing it on PC.

 

[Martius]

Really? After Zestria I thought its confirmed although digital only.

 

[Abu Antar]

I can't believe they're not releasing it on PC.

Oh, it'll come out on PC, no doubt. I saw this on the PlayStation blog and that only mentions Sony platforms.

The ghost is teasing, as always: http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/whats-new-at-ghostlight

Hi everyone!

Well, it’s been an extremely busy couple of weeks here at Ghostlight! Amongst all the projects that we’re currently working on, we’ve been particularly hard at work on a console-to-PC port for another publisher. The good news is that we’ve just reached a hugely significant milestone this week thanks to some serious effort from the team here, so a big “well done” goes out to the guys – you know who you are Al’s already finished this particular game a few times, so I think it’s safe to say that he’s rapidly becoming quite an expert on it.

In other news, I’m happy to report that we’re getting ever closer to signing some new games for PC. As usual, I’m afraid that I can’t say much more at this stage so please keep your eyes on the blog for some exciting updates in the coming weeks. What I can say is that both Al and I have been converted into huge fans of the games we’ve been evaluating and we think we might have a couple of surprises up our sleeves for you all. You know, it can be a hard job having to play through all these games, but someone has to do it!

Lastly, I was recently interviewed by The OASG as part of their Justin Lab report, so if you want to hear me talk about anime, video games and my time working at Ghostlight, then you can check out the full interview here.

That’s all for now. I’ll be back next week with more news from Ghostlight, but until then why not follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight You can also follow me on Twitter for a more personal take on all things Ghostlight.

To anyone who's interested in seeing extended gameplay of Tales of Berseria, there's a full HD playthrough uploaded to Youtube. In Japanese, of course. Looks like there will be lots of skin in it for those who like that type of shit. Protagonist is a female Yuri or something?

We're also getting a hefty Collector's Edition for $149.99.

I can't believe they're not releasing it on PC.

It's confirmed for a steam release on Jan. 27, 2017. The same day as the EU physical release.

I own some of those games, the bottom three rpgs, but I haven't played them.

Didn't like Defy Gravity.
