[PS3] Story of White Knight "Level 5 RPG for PS3"

This game has been development for a good bit folks. This is what most assumed was Dark Cloud 3 when Level 5 announced they were working on an RPG for the PS3.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, it's confirmed. 10% over on Gamespot, this thing is going to take a long time to roll around at that rate of development.

Level 5 can take as much time as they want, no doubt. This looks spectacular, and the fact that this is at 10% and has tons of space for growth is very exciting.

SE's got competition, something they desperately need to light a fire under their ass.

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

And I distinctly remember after seeing Unnamed RPG (PS3) for Level 5 assuming that it was Dark Cloud 3. RG was in the same situation earlier too, but the latest confusion was for this title.

I don't think Square-Enix actually has all that much competition considering they let Level-5 handle their largest game's transition into 3D.[/QUOTE]

That was cooperation for that one project, it's back down to brass tacks after that. Don't think this game won't rob sales from FFXIII if SE lets them upstage them.

Here's a very nice talk with Akihiro Hino, the head honcho at Level 5. I put this up over in the PS3 thread, but it applies just as well here.

Quote:

Speaking with Japan's Weekly Famitsu magazine, Akihiro Hino, president of developer Level 5 and producer of White Knight Story, said that he hopes to make a game with a 50 to 60 hour play time, which he referred to as a typical play time for an RPG. "With White Knight Story, we don't want to release a half-way product," said Hino. "We want to have a big title that surpasses the volume of the RPGs we've made in the past."

So White Knight clearly won't be some rushed first generation RPG project. But Level 5 apparently had pressure to do just that, with Hino revealing that there was some talk of attempting to get the game out around the time of the PS3's launch. In order to meet the launch, Hino says, Level 5 would've had to cut the story short, which is something he didn't want to do.

While Hino didn't share any new details on White Knight with the magazine, he did provide some insight into his personal gaming tastes. When asked what games he's paying attention to on other hardware, he responded with Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, citing the need to match the "extremely beautiful visuals" in those titles.

Hino didn't have anything bad to say about any of the current and upcoming hardware. "The Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3, the DS and the PSP... I think this will be the most exciting year end period ever."
