Next Famitsu Xbox will be out in about 25 days, I don't know about Blue Dragon but I've been told it will come with a DVD presenting 20 Xbox 360 games.
I'll try to ask my friend in Japan about this Blue Dragon thing though, I'd certainly like to know more about this game.

 

[bloke]

Well it seems we have to wait some more, but game will be appearing at Jump Festa Dec 17th

[BlueTsunami]

Blue Dragon

 

[Bizarro Sun Yat-sen]

Looks like the Jump Festa showing is still video-only, though.

 

[Helznicht]

Considering how much $ MS is spending courting these Japanese developers, they better be bringing these games over stateside.

 

[Stinkles]

Blue Dragon will fuckown everything else. This I predict.



Note: I hatez me some RPGs too.

 

[BlueTsunami]

......Chrono Trigger?.....

*Hears Kingdom of Zeal play off in the distance...

I hope this game can do it...

 

[Kleegamefan]

Artoon for the win

 

[bloke]

There's interview with Sakaguchi in latest Famitsu Weekly
- BD is at 40% of development
- planned to be released before the end of next year
- graphic/animation will be clay-like (well we saw that)
- he talks about techniques they'll be using in game (light bloom, motion blur...)
- Lost Odyssey demo will be released next spring/summer

 

[fennec fox]

It's amazing that Famitsu Xbox still exists.

[RaidenZR]

Wow, that looks really cool. I like the characters. What the hell is this game and where did it come from?

i like the way it's looking.

the main character design reminds me of Bonk.

 

[Wunderchu]

- Hironobu Sakaguchi of Final Fantasy fame is in charge of the game
- Artoon (developer of the Blinx series) is developing it
- Microsoft is publishing

You forgot something... Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball) is doing the character art.

 

[Wunderchu]

oops ... ya, that too .. that's quite a big point that I forgot .. my apologies

 

[909er]

Is Nobuo Uematsu doing the music?

 

[Wunderchu]

oh ya, that too .. oops

 

[scarybore]

Which is a shame as I can't stop wincing at the character designs in DQVIII. God I hate Toriyama, but enough about him!

Mind you it looks quite nice in the scan, hoping Artoon pulls it off.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

Wunderchu is on the ball!

I can't wait until we get some video of this.

I imagine it looks quite nice.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Considering how much $ MS is spending courting these Japanese developers, they better be bringing these games over stateside.

My thoughts exactly. Even if MS doesn't publish them, they should at least arrange for other publishers to pick them up for the niche gamers to buy. I hate it when good content sits in japan and doesn't make its way here.

You could probably make a list of 100 PS2 games that are japan only right now that have a reasonable chance at success here in the states but won't ever see the light of day here.

 

[krypt0nian]

Anyone know the current Japanese launch list for 360?

 

[Wunderchu]

Anyone know the current Japanese launch list for 360?

Not bad, could have been better though.

 

[Tony HoTT]

didn't Sakaguchi say he wanted to make us cry with his new games?


Success.

 

[kenta]

I wonder if the Japanese gamers will actually follow Toriyama/Uematsu/Sakaguchi to a new platform/series or if they'll stick to Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy just because they're Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. The game certainly has the makings of a totally stellar RPG but I just wonder if they'll get stuck on the name of the franchise.

 

[Akira]

Success.

I believe he was talking about Lost Odyssey when he said. But who knows, maybe there will be a sad moment in this game too? You know, sad like some scenes in a Pixar movie or something.

 

[Prine]

I like the "soft"shading. :drool

 

[olimario]

It looks really good.
I love the screen with the white background and that thing attacking.

 

[sprsk]

I like the "soft"shading. :drool

i think you mean anti aliasing?

 

[Datrio]

WHERE IZ MEIN SHADOW, I LOST MEIN SHADOWZ!

Meh. To tell you the truth, I don't like the graphics... Even PS2 could render this.

 

[Reilly]

Even PS2 could render this.

pretty much

 

[Alex De Large]

haha horrible graphics

 

[hadareud]

haha horrible graphics

You are very easy to entertain it seems. I wish I could laugh that easily

 

[PG2G]

pretty much

Sure could...

*cough*

 

[Alex De Large]

I guess next gen is pretty hilarious for me so far.

 

[Razoric]

Sure could...

*cough*

That screenshot looks a LOT better than Blue Dragon IMO.

 

[PG2G]

The modelling in Blue Dragon is near perfect given the art style. There are very few polygonal edges, and the lighting is pretty impressive as well. If DQ8 comes even remotely close to you, its a metter of personal preference. There truley is a generational difference between the graphics in the two games.

Blue Dragon looks like CG, as far as I'm concerned.

FWIW, it does look noticeably less detailed than the CG they showed before though.

 

[Kojima]

Hello SonGoku.

 

[jett]

I think it looks pretty terrible for a so-called next-gen game.
