New sexy on the DS.

Nintendo one consol/handheld future!

 

[Father_Brain]

This is the stupidest fucking idea ever. The cell phone game at least had an original story to make up for the visual downgrade.

 

[Yamauchi]

We're talking about Xenosaga, a steaming pile of bile.

Ye who have lost sight shall be reborn. It's not about the "visuals", I think being a gamer for so long would have proven this fact.

 

[Greenpanda]

If this means you can page through the cutscenes as fast as you can read, this is actually a huge UPGRADE

 

[sorryaboutdresden]

Two more.

Wow. Another DS RPG that doesn't even look as good as Golden Sun.

This trend is really pissing me off.

The important thing is that it looks faithful to the original games within the limitations of the hardware, which it does. I'm looking forward to this.

 

[Tony HoTT]

I want a Megaten game on DS that would look like this. Not exactly like this mind you but something along the lines of the Persona series.

 

[Soul4ger]

I'm hoping that, somehow, the regression necessary to put this on the DS will somehow make it a better game... Maybe it won't be so terrible bloated, downsized and all.

It does look faithful but it really is underwhelming. It reminds me of the Urbz. Still, I might get it. It's XS1&2 in one package right?

Yes, which makes me think, at the very least, you'll get your money's worth. That's like a 60/70 hour playtime, there.

Suikoden 1 + 2 >>> Xenosaga 1 + 2

PSP for the win!

The PS2 version had some long ass cutscenes. Can't imagine going through all that text.

Xenosaga I.II website.

They could've made this game look much better than it does. It looks drab and lifeless. DS is certainly capable at pushing out good looking 2d visuals, yet this game looks like an early SNES rpg.

 

[jarrod]

Actually, the visuals make me wish Monolith had ported Namco x Capcom instead. They'd be perfect then. :/

As is, this game should really have 3D backgrounds like Xenogears.

yep. This is final fantasy 2(4) level crap here. I mean, honestly, this is pitiful. I am not a graphics whore, but this is barely better tha Breath of Fired on GBA, and that was one of the WORST looking GBA RPGs.

It's just lame. Come on Camelot, let's have an RPG for DS so you can showem how its done.

First video. Dear god, this is fugly.

 

[duckroll]

Before anyone starts jumping for joy, I should state that on the official site they reveal that the story is written by the writer of the Xenosaga TV anime, and the composer is also the composer of the Xenosaga TV anime. Add that to the fact that the game looks a hell lot like the ugly piece of re-written trash that is the Xenosaga TV anime, I can safely say that this game will suck ass.

this makes me sick. We've got N64 level hardware and this can't even live up to the worst of the SNES RPGs, let alone the BEST of GBA, and Playstation.

What a disgrace.

SNES RPG level

 

[Sho Nuff]

Whose idea was this!?

 

[CO_Andy]

It'd be real badass if they could make this look like Xenogears... oh well.

 

[Madame M]

This games needs a KOS MOS touching sequence

 

[Triumph]

Whose idea was this!?

About the only person who would probably say it wasn't a BAD idea would be Kotex... and even then, I don't know if he would go so far as to call it GOOD.
