Eternal Sonata PS3 US

June 3 2008 - No Plans
http://kotaku.com/5012522/no-plans-for-us-ps3-eternal-sonata-release-at-the-moment

October 21 2008 - Released

So hey if you look at this positively we have about 4 months till release lol.

However I remember Namco said "no plans for US" about Eternal sonata PS3 just two or three months before its US release.

The same old and STUPID Namco! This is ridiculous.

bamco continues being a failure

Well less money for Namco, more money for other devs. Eat my penis Namco. :3

I hope they do bring it over....This is saddening news. :[ Perhaps they are waiting for the JRPG's to hit stores over the next few weeks to see how things go. Afterall, White Knight Chronicles, The Last Rebellion, Star Ocean International and Final Fantasy XIII are all hitting US in the first quarter.

I partially blame Eternal Sonata's lackluster PS3 port sales for this since Namco tried the same thing a year later in the US after the game came out.

Does the Japanese or Asian PS3 version have English?

I know the Asian 360 version is English dubbed...

I think Namco's reluctance to release Tales games in english is because of poor sales.

If more people bought their games, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Well, that sounds like the same damn response to about every single email sent to Namco.

>>47913315
They dont ad their games... Bamco is run by monkeys ...

>>47912921
>>47912836

Denial. Face it boys, English Tales of Vesperia is 360 exclusive.

I've never like namco, with their constant expensive repackaging of pac-man and what-not. Not looking forward to this game to begin with, but I share the hatred.

I dont buy more games from them. Fuck it Namco.

>>47913514
lol k

>Ace Combat

Regardless if they send this here I will buy a new Air Combat/Ace Combat.

Remember Eternal Sonata anyone? How about 3 months before it was announced, a BN rep said "We have no plans to release the game in the US." and then 3 months later, it was announced for release in the States after all? This could be like that scenario all over again, just because one person says "No plans" doesn't mean it's not coming.

>>47912722
THIS.

terrible news

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUIASFHIOFHIOHGFiohfiohtioqhth5t8935352

Day ruined. Fuck you.

>>47912663
why would they release a game for a blu-ray player?

>>47913934

There's no reason for them to pull this dick move. I wonder how long until a confirmation Graces is staying in Japan too.

Damn, I hate Namco so FUCKING MUCH! Buch of faggots idiots.

>>47912663
nice namco, nice ¬¬

Dear idiots:

Wait until later this year, after the parade of JRPGs lined up for the PS3 come out. Namco is probably waiting to see how those do before confirming ToV.

>>47914939
I think at this point its safe to say its not happening. Biggest fucking troll of a game company.

This isn't really surprising considering the original version bombed so fucking hard.

>>47915156
>According to Famitsu's annual top 100, Vesperia was the 82nd best selling title in Japan in 2008 having sold 161,070 copies. The launch of Tales of Vesperia in Japan caused the Xbox 360 to sell out for the first time since the system's release in Japan. In North America, Tales of Vesperia sold 33,000 copies during the 4 days after its 26 August launch.


I can see why they would put it off.

>>47912722
Yes because the PS3 is truly a wondrous fountain of endless money, filled to the brim with honest-to-goodness gamers who can't wait for the next smash hit to come ou-oh wait you were just getting excited for a 360 port.

...hmm!

>>47912663

If confirmed, Namco maintains it's tradition of being dicks towards the US market.

"No plans" = none for the fiscal year, so it won't be out this year at the least. By the time it does come out, it'll be so old they can't sell it as a full-price game (assuming it does). In that case, just skip it.

Namco won't release it. They're good at this shit; just aks those PS2 owners who never to got to play Venus and Braves.

Good thing I have it and have beaten it on my xbox!

Oh well, maybe PS3 will get other games this year.

>>47915443
I enjoyed the beta too. Shame we wont get the full game.

>>47912836
Eternal Sonata =/= Tales

Tales remakes and revamps do not make it overseas. Enjoy the insanely strong precedent cockslapping you.

>>47914939
Err, it's pretty much not happening. Unlike other developers, when it comes to Tales, Namco treats this series as JAPAN-ONRY.

Releases in the U.S. and Europe are seen as secondary and beside the point.

>>47913650
Too bad the latest rumors are that ACES Team's Ace Combat 7 is a 360 exclusive.

LOL, Namco either really dislikes the PS3 or Microsoft has given them a shitload of money.

we should do something to them, I hate them more than square enix now, where is "anonymous is legion lolo do not mess with us"?

>>47915803
>Too bad the latest rumors are that ACES Team's Ace Combat 7 is a 360 exclusive.
>Latest rumors is it's a 360 exclusive
>rumors

>>47915811
You can't do anything to Bandai-Namco. You are not their target demographic.

The Japanese gamer is, and they already targeted them and made a healthy profit with the immense first day sales of PS3 Vesperia. At this point localization and dubbing for a game that might flop as bad as Abyss, Vesperia and Eternal Sonata is not viable.

>>47915811
on /b/


I'm as pissed off as any of you but there's fuck all we can do. At least i'll have FF13 + some other JRPGs til Summer, then VC2

>>47915811
You know all the assholes who bought max level, item packs, clothing packs(that you unlock in scenarios), etc? You know the ones who bought in-game currency?

You know, off the Live Marketplace? They are the reason games come out for 360 first and/or exclusive. It's lots of extra money to M$ and the developer of said game.

That's why it's so casual.

>>47915803
Wow, it's like Namco really doesn't want me to buy their fucking games any more!

First Soul Calibur 4 is complete and utter garbage where the DLC is just you buying content that's already on the disk.
AC6 is by far the worst Ace Combat since Advance, a aircraft selection smaller than Trump's dick, and AGAIN DLC that's already on the disc, and now this shit?

Come the fuck on.

>>47915922

who cares, a company must show some kind of loyalty to their fans, they DID released some tales games in the US and Europe, and fans do exist thanks to that, its just plain wrong for them to shit all over their faces

>>47915922
Hell i'd be satisfied with a quick translation and subtitles. How long would that take, really? A few weeks with a few men if im not clueless.

Never really cared about this game. I didn't like any of the Tales of games I tried, too cliché and the combat wasn't that fun.

>>47915811
Microsoft.

Thank them. There's likely an agreement for the funding for Vesperia that they cannot make an English PS3 version. In other words, forcing the rest of the world to buy the version for THEIR console.

It's happened to other games too, where only the 360 version is available overseas.

so i guess sonyfriend will have to buy a 360 if they want to play the "beta" version

problems PS3bois?

HURR DURR ANOTHER WIN FOR 360 ENJOY YOUR NOGAEMS

Okay, so now i skipped the fanboyism part, what the fuck ?

>>47916001
The only fans they need to show some kind of loyalty to are their Japanese fans. They voted with their wallets en masse, so they got the company to make a PS3 version for them.

As far as B-N is concerned, Vesperia is open and shut. They made their profit, it's time to move on.

>>47916136

>>47915989 Wow, it's like Namco really doesn't want me to buy their fucking games any more!
I'm willing to bet you and the very small number of people in this hemisphere that actually did won't be missed now that they don't have to piss money away getting it to you.

>>47916158
fuck you and fuck namco

Gee, quit releasing your weeaboo games for the american shooter console and maybe you'll start seeing a profit you fuckers. They already have most of the english translations done anyways from the 360 version and they refuse to release it, even on psn.

>>47916223
>KOS-MOS Judith
I have found my next import on the only region-free next gen console!

>>47916223
HOLY DAMN!!!!!!!! KOS-MOS!!!!!! CMON BAMCO LOCALIZE THIS GAME!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

>>47916018
It's actually cheaper to just release in the game in Japan than to release it in other countries and have to pay for localization teams, voice actors, publishers abroad, etc..

Remember, this series is made purposefully in the anime style because it was born as a series to appeal to Japan and Japan first and foremost.

>>47916223
>Namco Bandai: No Plans for a US Release of Tales of Vesperia PS3
>>47916223
>Some of the most awesome DLC I've ever seen

What the fuck. Fuck you Namco, seriously.

ps3 has no gaems.
also they need to localize Graces before starting on a game that's already been here

>>47916310
>>47916158

You dont get what being loyal means, dont you?

>>47916310
but they have the 360 localization. Copy and paste dude.

I just realized something: Ever since being bought by Bandai, Namco has steadily gotten worse. At firs things were just hunkey dorey but then things started to go south HARD.

It must be the Gundamfaggotry in the air at the HQ.

>>47916354
I like how you think they're going to localize graces after the horrid sales of Symphonia 2.

>>47916389
Too much money. It's not that simple, it never is. There's shittons of new dialogue and scenes to work on.

Also, this means the VA was LYING when he said he was called back in for more work.

Honeslty I was looking more forward to White Knight than ToV.

>>47916183
>implying everybody understand japanese

i can navigate most of the japanese menus thru trial and error, but i still don't know what the fuck is going on and i'm quite certain i'm missing alot

ToV: PS3 already has a localized script they can use to paste over the PS3 version. Add a few more lines for the new characters, and stick it on the north american PSN and boom.

On the other side of the world, Metal Wolf Chaos has a damn amazing dub, and it is 100% japanese. Damn shame xbox isn't region free.

>>47916372
You don't get what Return on Investment means, do you? Sending it abroad requires more costs incurred than they're projecting they'll get back. If a game isn't projected to meet or exceed the profit margin set for it, it simply won't be made.

>>47916473
White Knight is only ~20 hours to finish the main game, though the online is BALLS HARD.

That said, the gameplay is like FFXII's and will put many people off. The music is nice though:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9npcWl9pVhY&fmt=18

Namco being retarded again, who would have thought.

>>47916432
never said I think they would. said they need too. I think they're too fucking stupid to realize why symphonia 2 sold poorly. it was a truly awful game. no other reason

>>47912663
Oh well, I'll go back to playing Abyss again. Namco used to be up there with Capcom as my favorites, but damn.

>>47916550
I hate when people compare it to ffxii. It is like, THREE TIMES a slow as ffxii, and that game already was the limit of my patience.

Game is SLOOOOOW

>>47916432
Such a good strategy Namco has

>localize a shit game
>does shit
>use as excuse to keep awesome game japonly

>>47916607
Yeah i'll play Abyss to-OH WAIT NOT RELEASE IN UK AWESOME

>>47916611
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS

I don't think you understand what SLOW is until you play WKC. The reason why many people think this game is 40+ hours is because you feel like you've been playing for twice as long as you actually have. Even the maxed out battle speed is embarrassingly slow.

>>47916628
Remember, Japan is always the main goal for the Tales games. Sending it abroad is something that will always remain at the whim of the company. We are nothing more than fickle, auxiliary sources of POTENTIAL income. While Japan is guaranteed.

>>47916500
>implying that namco would lose any money by releasing a good rpg in a starved for rpg console

>>47916653
FUCK YEAH NAMCO!

Shove a dick in their eye, get PCSX2 and the game's ISO.

>>47916743
They might. Actually. Theyd have to pay people to localize it, and pay the voice actors.

Eternal Sonata did pretty shoddy on ps3, even with the VAST improvements over the 360 version.

>>47916743
Actually, they would. Remember, the PS3 has a substantially lower userbase than the 360, and when sales were lower than expected for a MUCH better selling machine... that pretty much kills the possibility of a port to something that's slowly dying.

>>47916223
KOS-MOS AND Klonoa AND Mr.Driller? This fanservice appeals to me so much, I feel like buying it despite never being able to get into Tales.

They're probably not releasing it in the US because they don't think it will sell against the gluttony of fucking shooters that you fags just can't get enough of.

It's most likely a marketing decision brought on by you fags.

>>47916653
Youre not missing much. Abyss is extensively overrated. Horrible cast. Guy and Jade are the only things saving the game from being a total shitstain.

>>47916827
>>47916732
>>47916806

I hate faggots like these who defend their actions

>>47916848
Hey, don't blame us for being tired of RPGs where the "male" character more than likely has a vagina tucked away in his supposed ex-soldier clothes.

We got 2 generations of that shit from Japan, we're tired. We need actual men.
