Daaamn, was going out to buy it when I realized my girlfriend took the housekeys :( Every minute is heartache
they're not going to have it, are they?

Edit: Yay, thanks for the Star Ocean upload, looking forward to it.

Dear Gamestation: Go fuck yourselves.

:mad:

They're happy to point to me they have a big pile of boxes for the game, and they'll be happy to give it to me tomorrow. So, my lesson here is: buy from a store to support corporations and idiot employees, at greater inconvenience, later release dates, and higher costs! Awesome!

Whereas GAME simply fumbled around for 5 minutes looking through release date papers and lists, before deciding the game doesn't exist.

After that link went up, first thing I did was hit your site to see if you already had vids up as well... :lol

The captures that you use, will they be done by using the Game Install feature now, or have you always captured off the hard disk via a debug?

I'll either install or run it off the debug's hard drive. TLR is installed and load times are quite nice :)
I'm actually surprised by how smooth the game is most of the time. After LO's messy framerate I was expecting worse, but even with the free camera (nice!) so far it's been quite good. Of course I've only played for 45 minutes :p
Very little aliasing visible too, quite unexpected.

Nope, but the English voices aren't too bad.

That's surprising to me. The one video I had seen of city exploration showed atrociously long load times when entering houses.

Well, I guess installing is doing wonders. Entering the pub from the street took me 7 seconds (timed from the video I captured). Not great, but I can live with it.

Been playing this for the last few hours, I must admit I had very low expectations but I actually really like it so far! The combat confused the fuck out of me to start with but it's pretty cool once you get your head around it :)

Only bad points are the typical UE3 problems like pop in and a messy framerate during battles, and thats with it installed.

Awesome. Man, I really wish the framerate wasn't such an issue.
This does look like something I would enjoy. It may not rate particularly well, though.

love the bit where the protagonists sister gets kidnapped and he gets wacked in the face hehe

Im still a little interested in this game...hopefully the story isn't crap and the characters have some personality...failure on either one of those accounts will probably reduce my interest considerably...

7 seconds for entering a building still sounds quite bad to me. I can understand loads that long when entering a new area, but long loads on buildings discourages people from wanting to explore.

It's been a while since I played Lost Odyssey, but I'm sure that the city load times were less than that, even from the disc.

They weren't that much better. Also LO cut a lot of corners thanks to the fixed camera. What can't be seen doesn't have to be modeled/textured ;)

Anyway, my first 10 minutes video is up:

Second one is uploading.

If the music is good, I don't mind 10 second long load times.
The slowdown in combat makes combat drag, that's the real issue for me.

Sweet thanks for the vids blim!

Is anyone that got the game online from Amazon, or elsewhere, did you get your extra bonus formations?

I received my game today and was going to play it now, but there was nothing else in the package, neither inside the game box.

Are the extra formations really some pre-order bonus, or it was just marketing bs and they are included in the game already?

Or should I contact Amazon.co.uk and bitch about not receiving my extra formations?

It's kind of surprising how quiet the word has been on the PS3 version of the game. Actually, it almost seems surprising how quiet Square-Enix has been in general on the game. Maybe it's just me. :/

SE hasn't been quiet about the game. There have been many media and a few interviews in the past months before the game. Although it obviously isn't an A-title for SE, that's why the buzz was lower than with FF or DQ games.



Oh and one thing about the game, the game is unplayable on SDTVs, the UI is just the same than for HD so you have everything on screen, menus, commands, stats, extremely small, unreadable.

I thought Infinite Undiscovery font and menus were rather bad for SD, but this is just to the extreme, almost like how it was with Lost Planet.

And since I don't want to use my HD monitor to play on it right now, I'll pass on the game for today.

They are in the game, but you were supposed to get a card (with rush on it I think) with the codes as a pre-order bonus. At least they were offering it on the NA site.

Oh yeah, looks like Amazon won't be getting the game till the 22nd. :(

I understand that they want to maximize 360 sales, but I wish SE would let us know what's going on with the PS3 version.

Is it really that bad? My little brother loves these kind of RPG's and he's getting it tomorrow. But he plays on an SDTV. Is it really unplayable?

Well you can play just well, but all the text on screen is really small in a 21" TV, besides there's no 4:3 support, so I'm getting black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.

Even when you get close to the screen there are somethings that you kinda have to guess what are they.

The tutorial screens are ok to read, but the main problem could be when checking stats to keep track of the units during battle.
