I don't know if that complete list of ps3 jrpgs, but i can't find game with different versions which was not already ported to pc, plot thickens!

It need to be more than one version (beside PS3) to be true (if i understood hint right)

 

[Teggy]

? Atelier games would be brought by To themselves I'd think.

Yeah, just making a stupid guess. Based on their Website the only PS3 games they have made are the Agarest games and they are already on PC.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

It's Tales of Vesperia.


For serious guessing, the games I think would actually have some chance and I also want are either the Atelier series or the Trails series.

I'm pretty sure it just means 2+ platforms, not 3+.

Could be Eternal Sonata maybe?

Watch it be none of these

I wouldn't put any stake in RPGs from Namco or Sega/Atlus, or were published by them in the west

My dream would be Ukiyo no Shishi, but that has a sister game for the vita, not really a different version.

 

[Ladekabel]

Kind of disappointed in RCR: U. DS4 won't work, there are instances where I don't see my character, quest marker is bugged in online play, world map sometimes won't load. And so far I haven't found a special move.

This is the hint he left on Twitter:

"If anyone was wondering the new JRPG PC port is based on a PS3 version, but there are other versions out there."

Trails of Cold Steel breh, it's happening.

 

[data]

I really hope it's not Trinity Universe...

 

[Arthea]

I'd lose it completely if it's Rune Factory, but it can't be, and it's too good to be true, and Xseed would be releasing it.

It's Tales of Vesperia.


For serious guessing, the games I think would actually have some chance and I also want are either the Atelier series or the Trails series.

KT would release any Atelier game themselves, so it's out of the question, and Falcom is now cooperating with NISA, hopefully Xseed still too, so that's very unlikely also.

I really hope it's not Trinity Universe...

isn't it IF game? they would release it themselves if they were interested,
oh and it's not that bad game too

 

[Grief.exe]

I was looking at Dragon's Crown and Odin Sphere since both those releases would fit the criteria and Vanillaware has signaled they would like to release their games on PC.

I noticed that both Dragon's Crown and the Odin Sphere remaster were published by NIS America, which generally favors PC ports. Atlus also frequently publishes PC ports with their development partners. Ghostlight likely wouldn't be involved since they prefer to self publish.

It's difficult to predict Ghostlight ports as they tend to focus on more niche titles. I had never heard of Way of the Samurai series until they ported it, and I'm glad they brought that series to my attention since it looks so unique and interesting.

what happened to Bamco? They went out of business?

Watch it be this or some other compile heart/Idea factory garbage.

like you mean those games that have glowing reviews on steam?
jeez, can we get over IF hate already?

Legasista would be interesting but I would assume NIS would handle that and they've already got a new Cladun game for steam on the horizon.

You all need to think lower before you get your hopes up.

I think it's unlikely they would use PS3 versions as a base if PS4 versions exist in any case.

 

[Shepard]

Nah they released Berseria like last month, they're fiiiine.

EDIT: Maybe it is Nino Kuni? We are getting the sequel, and the original was PS3/NDS =O

 

[Jawmuncher]

I think it's unlikely they would use PS3 versions as a base if PS4 versions exist in any case.

Agreed. I would think any game being mentioned was probably PS3 and lower only. No new ports of it on PS4 or anything.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Falcom seems all over the place with the whole PC port strategy. So far they've employed Xseed, NISA and Aksys even for games within the same series. I could kinda sorta see Koei Tecmo maybe perhaps delegating some work in handling all those Atelier games if they actually wanted them backported, considering that porting RPGs is harder werk and it's an annual game.

Some thoughts on Stories Untold.

It's pretty damn good. It's dubbed a text adventure, which it is at its core, but there is also much more going on to create atmosphere and give narrative and mood in interesting ways. It's not necessarily an attempt at horror but certainly fuses some elements in there with it. There are 4 different "stories", each revolving around different concepts and mechanics. It has some puzzle elements in there in various ways too.

It's taken me 72 minutes to do 2 of the stories, so you can expect the game to be around 4hrs, but so far I think it is totally worth it. It does really well to invest you into it and surprise you a lot vs what you may expect. So I definitely recommend it. I hope the next half of the game keeps doing this well, and more so that there is more content / similar future development of another game to keep this going. I like it.

Edit: Okay puzzles get continually more interesting. Definitely want more of this

 

[Rizzi]

Trails of Cold Steel?

:3

Makes sense.

 

[Arthea]

I know what it is! It's Time and Eternity

Spoiler

*laughs

 

[Tizoc]

Me in Hollow Knight-

I'm just wandering around aimlessly in the hopes of finding the map guy and not having enough Geo to buy his bloody maps.

 

[Wok]

Hollow Knight's map system is ridiculous. You HAVE to meet the NPC that gives you a map of the area before you can properly register any uncharted areas from his map that you've found.
Not enjoying it as much as I'd hoped I'm sad to say :/

Locations do register before you get the map, it is just invisible.

I'd be down for those.

 

[Arthea]

wait, what if it's another Trinity - Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll


edited: oh wait, I take that back, it was released only on PS3 I think

 

[PantsuJo]

Trails of Cold Steel breh, it's happening.

It could be a glorious event, my dudes

 

[Annubis]

Agreed. I would think any game being mentioned was probably PS3 and lower only. No new ports of it on PS4 or anything.

Could be PS3 and Vita.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I guess vita would be higher, though specs lowers lol

 

[Arthea]

There are really very limited options atm, or I'm missing something

We need an actual announcement

Why do that when we can hype ourselves into disappointment?

indeed why

Cross Edge, perhaps? Ghostlight seems to favor old Idea Factory games from before IFI published them themselves on PC.

 

[GhostTrick]

Guys, as much as I appreciate Ghostlight, dont get your hopes too high with Trails or Vanillaware games.

Most likely candidates are something from their previous partners, so Idea Factory, Compile Heart or Acquire.

 

[Grief.exe]

Well Dragon's Crown is PS3/Vita, but I detail in that post that Ghostlight isn't likely to be involved with Vanillaware games anyways ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

I guess vita would be higher, though specs lowers lol

It's more about architecture that would make it cheaper to port the games, not specs.

 

[Arthea]

Cross Edge, perhaps? Ghostlight seems to favor old Compile Heart games from before IFI published them themselves on PC.

I thought about that
Cross Edge battle system is pretty great, but a game is extremely low budget and no game characters involved are from games available on steam, not sure it'd do good on steam.
Also it only was released on PS3, so it's not Cross Edge.

but there no such games not released on steam aside of Trinity Universe
and Trinity was released only on PS3, so it's not it

I kno but ive spent 15 minutes roaming around and found another new area which i died in before even spotting the map bug

 

[Tonton]

Good to see Ghostlight pick up Trails of Cold Steel, hopefully it doesn't take too long for it

 

[Battlechili]

Any chance of it being the original Nier? Or Resonance of Fate?

Also it only was released on PS3, so it's not Cross Edge.

It was released on the Xbox 360 too though. Sure, only the PS3 version got released in the West, but it does fit the bill for having other versions out there.

oh! I didn't know this. Well it kinda fits the bill then, kinda, with a stretch


talking about Nier, did SE ever let anybody to publish games they own? I honestly can't remember such thing ever happening.

Nintendo published Bravely Default outside of Japan if that means anything.

Yea...I had to refund Hollow Knight because that map system is not for me.

maybe ill pick up night in the woods now

 

[Jawmuncher]

Cross Edge would help push the finality that darkstalkers are dead

 

[sixteen-bit]

Shadow Hearts Trilogy 😊

I'd be hyped for that.

Yeah the map system is needlessly frustrating, it doesn't help that you can go through various rooms and easily miss a room that has the save bench. The map guy can show up and just say any usual line of dialog not make him my main objective while blindly going through this subterranean world.

 

[GoldandBlue]

I really do hope we find out Nier is gonna hit PC on the 10th. As much as I loved Atelier Sophie and want to play Atelier Firis, I wanna hold off on playing it right away or risk burning myself out on the game.

 

[longlivegaming]

Often times Steam reviews can be a unreliable way of perceiving game quality. Look at the Sakura games for example.
