[PS3] I have to buy a PS3 (Disgaea 3)

Source

This is the only known information on the game so far.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The previous games had 2D sprites and dialogues with 3D grid-based battle levels. This game is also 2D.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It might be acceptable if they released it as a downloadable game for 20 dollars, but 6800 yen for a PS2 game on PS3 = what

What he means is that it doesn't have to have super fancy graphics in order to be a good game. Which is basically what you said needs to happen for every PS3 game to be successful or good. It doesn't.

Just a reminder: Talk about the game, Disgaea 3, please. None of this "man it's coming out for the ps3 and i dont like the ps3 i really hope it gets ported to the 360 imma poor fuck." stuff.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't care if it's good or successful or not; I'm not interested in games like Disgaea, but I'm sure it will be a good game for people who liked the previous parts. I'm just questioning their motives for releasing it on PlayStation 3, when technically it looks like it could be done on PlayStation 2 with zero problems, and PlayStation 2 has a much larger userbase so— wait, I just said that, why do I have to repeat myself?

Except saying in an announcement thread that the game in question "looks like a PSX game" is saying "it shouldn't be on the PS3, when 3D bloom and graphical shit could be there instead".

Also Disgaea 2 was very much like the original, with Item World, transmigration, returning characters, dark court, shops, chapters, specialists.. so Disgaea 3 will probably be like the other games.

Christ, it's no surprise as to why SCCA hate 2D games. All everyone does is bitch. The PS2 doesn't do too well when it comes to handling 2D games at the best of times, that's probably why it's coming to the PS3.

Disgaea was 320x, and god forbid you try playing that on something that isn't composite. Disgaea 2 is a huge step above, although easier. It's in 640x. Disgaea 3 will most likely be 16:9, 720p, and in 2D.

I don't know how many 2D games are on the PS3 right now. I'll say none.

Thanks for explaining what you meant by the particular sentence which I quoted.

Stop trolling and get out of my thread. Clearly you have nothing to contribute to the discussion of the game.

I was speaking idiomatically.

What I said was called for completely. Comments like:

Aren't criticizing or related to the game at all. Shit, the first is trolling and the second doesn't even make sense. It's bad enough people are straying with PS3 discussion over "criticizing the game" or even talking about the game in general without getting even more off topic.

And for god's sake Mush, if you don't like the game I don't know what you're doing commenting about it. The PS3's price will probably be lower in 2008, with better backwards compatibility support and more games.

Almost no consoles have AAA titles within the first 6 months of their release. And people do buy consoles for just a single game. I can't remember which one of you it was; possibly Aard or yourself, but one of you went on months ago about how "if people want to purchase a console for one game, they'll do it, it's fine, let them."

Disgaea's fans won't want the game to be in 3D. Nor will they want the battle system to change too much. It needs to maintain the overall feel from the previous games.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Smarter AI is definitely needed in Disgaea 3. I mean, enemies won't do shit unless you come within a certain radius of them. They basically stand there waiting for you to come.

They also need to take out the option of capturing monsters. Disgaea 2 is piss easy since you can just capture monsters on a certain map, pass Stronger Enemy bills, and transmigrate them into a human.

At least that's with Disgaea 2. The first game was much more time consuming and harder.

FELIPE NO

Supposedly this is the Disgaea 3 box art, which is now set for the 31st of Jan 08. For PS3.

I think the character sprites have been improved, in comparison to the still screenshots which were posted earlier. I dunno though, but the trailer is good. Most of it seems to be just explaining the new features, the return of pirates, item worlds and secret areas. It doesn't seem to be showing the main story or key areas which you're going to be playing.

It's a shame that they're simply upscaled models, because it doesn't mix very well with HD attack spells and menus. I don't know how they would solve this without making it appear less Disgaea-ish, though.

Here's the opening. The game comes out in Japan at the end of the month. I'm tempted to buy a PS3 just for it, but.. well, you know. I won't have anything else to play once I've beaten it.

It's most definitely going to have those, I mean, the chances are it isn't going to be difficult to make a story better than Disgaea 2, although I'm not sure on 1080p. That isn't the issue here. The issue here is that the sprites are simply upscaled and don't look 1:1.

Harada's art is progressing nicely, and I doubt they're going to simply slap over a H2QX filter and call it a day. This game looks fantastic aside from the sprites.

This doesn't really have anything to do with 720p or 1080p. I'm going to be playing the game for the gameplay, not graphics.

Upscaled sprites can work, but it's the first 2D game I've seen for the PS3. HD menus with upscaled sprites looks a little disappointing. I don't think they would want to go with pixellated sprites instead. I'd buy a PS3 for this game alone, but it really, really isn't worth it.

Probably by the time it's released in the US (I predict late 2008), there'll be games worth buying for the PS3. I'd really like to buy a white PS3 but there's 1) no games for it and 2) available in 40 GB only, with no backwards compatibility support. A shame.
