[bloke]

More JRPG goodness for 360....um no wait, more KRPG goodness morelike, even though article says game will be coproduction between BanPresto and korean SoftMax.
Haven't played first game but heard it wasn't that good, except for the art...this sequel is planned for 2007.

Looks like 360 will have more support from Korea than Japan...
Ho well, I really liked the character design of Magna Carta on PS2, but I can't say I know more than this about that game.

Hyung Tae Kim art officially sucks now.

 

[Lakitu]

I haven't seen the graphics or any screens yet, but they already suck!

Maybe it's the "TGS effect", but lately there seems to be much more asian games announcements for Xbox 360 than western ones... MS seems damn serious about this.

I am so please to hear that Xbox360 gets more and more supports from Asia (Japan + Korea) software houses and not like his little brother one (xbox).

Me too, but I'm trying to figure out why. All this support is great, but it's a brainfuck to me.

-Maybe almost no royal fee for MS
-Less costs incompare to the PSpooh 3

As far as Korean support goes, I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that outfits like Webzen and Phantagram have a ton of PC development experience, and little or no history of working with consoles. Moving to X360 is probably a more natural transition in terms of tools and expertise than developing for PS3 or Rev.

More importantly, online gaming is huge in South Korea. A 360 with a keyboard and mouse can offer users a network game experience comparable to what you'd get from a good gaming PC for a fraction of the price. Assuming companies there make their major online franchises available for cross-platform play on PC and 360, I can imagine sales going through the roof. Not only would it appeal to the members of the gaming hall set looking for a cheap way to play at home, but assuming there was enough support, you might even see gaming halls themselves buying 360's as an alternative to pricier PC's.

Would be awesome to see Softmax do more on consoles. I'd LOOOOOVE to see an english version of Talesweaver (hint hint MS or Sony!!)

 

[sprsk]

the first magna carta is supposed to be beautiful shit though.

 

[dark10x]

Hopefully they can make a decent game this time...

The first two games weren't very good. >_<

The first PC game had an incredible soundtrack, though, but the second couldn't even match that.

I'm reading that article just now, haha.
My question is do we get that awesome support over here, or will I have to buy a japanese 360 down the line to actually play games I'm interested in.
