I want Japanese FPS!

Seriously do they exist? I'd like to see the Re4 team making an intense First Person horror game with its brilliant level-design and atmoshphere (not like Fear).

Am I the only person who seriously doubts we'll see many good fps on the Revolution?

metroid (prime) will guarantee a good FPS-style game on Revolution

Nope, I don't think there will be a lot of them either. But if all the impressions of the interface are accurate, the few good ones we'll get will be quite the experience.
 
I just tried Maken X (DC) for the first time since 2000 and it wasn't as compellingly original as I remember. Still pretty neat though -- a nice-looking, 60 fps first-person slasher infused with lots of Atlus R&D1 weirdness.

I didn't recall there were multiple paths and 5 endings. Unfortunately I died thrice in one level, got pissed and quit.

Haha! I had that game!

I liked it!
Didn't they make a sequal?
I think I rented it though, I never bought it - damn, what was it called again?
It wasnt Kileak 2....


And speaking of King's Field, one of my favorite series!

I'd say FPA, not FPS... heh...

We NEED another one on the Rev...

SPeaking of Japense players not like FPS, how did King's Field sell in Japan?
Anyone know? Enough to warrant 4 releases there, 3 here...

BRAHMA FORCE: The Assault on Beltlogger 9. Crap game. :'(
 
I hope that they keep disliking the genre, the few ones that I've played are awful.

The only decent one that I can think is breakdown and that isn't a common FPS game.

Me to

The Kings Field series is my guilty pleasure. I actually pro activley went out and tried looking for Kings Field 2 (Got it). I love the original (American).

Maken X was one of those games I wanted to like, but making it an FPS really ruined it all for me. I need to get a mod chip so I can play Maken Shao.

Hmm, completely opposite here. The first-person factor made it better for me.

Although I haven't heard either way, I always sorta guessed Maken Shao was a piece of junk (techwise) because it was such an early PS2 release. My friend has it. I should check it out.
 
BREAKDOWN was fantastic but shit at the same time.

Outrigger was cool, I used to pwn people in Japanese arcades in that game. UR HADOKENS WONT SAVE YOU NOW, CHILDREN OF TEH SUN GOD!!!! TEH WHITE MAN IS MASTOR OF FPS!!!

I was so impressed by King's Field 1. That really opened my eyes to new genres of gaming, and what could be done on the PSX. I was shocked at the sheer size of the worlds, and how small I felt at the time exploring the island. And King's Field 2? (USA). The giant overworld, the hidden walls - I couldn't past a wall ANYWHERE without pressing X looking for hidden doors - the real time battles, the strategy in evading attacks, the shock of turning a corner and walking into a green sludge, and a skeleton swining a mace down at your head... an underrated series if there ever was one.

Hell, honestly, the only other fourm I've ever joined was the Offical Anceint City forum when the PS2 version was released.

Ever play Shadow Tower? I liked that one too, though not entirely as much. Ever play
Shadow Tower: Abyss? I was pissed they never brought it over here...

Eternal Ring was a big dissapointment for me.

Any chance we'll see Abyss or a next-gen version??

Maken Shao is the same as Maken X (the visuals are not quite as crisp at the DC version, although it has been a LONG time since I played either version), just in third person, and the character animation is pretty lacking, so the game doesn't look as good as it could have been. If you played Maken X, there's really not much to see in Maken Shao.

ASCII Ent. became Agetec. Same company.

Shadow Tower Abyss is definitely recommended for its variety of weapons and armor, and for basically being King's Field with guns. Too bad King's Field PSP is vaporware.

Yea, I know ASCII - Agetec - From

however, they didnt bring Abyss to America, so I'm mad at them.

So I miss ASCII. From focuses too much on their mech games, and not enough on their KF :(

of all my K7 posts, its pretty retarted of me not to mention that one.

Good call Strange, heh.

KV and K7 - easter First person games all the way! haha

edit: Sure K7 is. It's another First Person Adventure. Well, the combat is in first person, i'd count that Wario, no?

They tried. The game was fully localized, and Sony wouldn't let them release it.

Really? Why? I know the first one sold laughably, but they at least got 2 KF's....
Ha, and they let From release Eternal Ring...

Here's part of the 1up article from Feb 04.

Though the game was never officially announced for North American release, Agetec today confirmed that it had a localized version of From Software's PlayStation 2 first-person RPG Shadow Tower Abyss in development. According to a forum post by the game's producer, the English version was nearly completed, but the project was cancelled after Agetec was unable to secure concept approval from Sony Computer Entertainment America.

Though Shadow Tower Abyss belonged to a different, more horror-tinged series, it's close kin to From's better-known King's Field games, and was followed by some of the same small cult of fans. However, its slighly-less-then-cutting-edge graphics and gameplay were apparently sticking points with SCEA.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, thanks segatavis.

But seriously, SONY actually DENIES games?!

I thought they had such an open platform - shit, look at all the crap out there - and they deny Abyss?


boooooooo
boooooooooooooo

ahhh, well, not that I expected to see it at this point anyway.

Was it any good?
