Tales of Vesperia trailer
2007-12-25 09:53:07 by BlimBlim
Again from Namco-Bandau, here is the first trailer of the new episode of the Tales Of... series names Tales of Vesperia. Since it's a 720p video it's clearly not a Wii game, but no platform has been announced.
Update: Looks like the source of the game's page on Namco's site had some interesting indications, since it had Xbox 360 listed in the keywords. Not an official confirmation, but still something.

I watched the low resolution streaming video, and to me, it could have been a PS2 video. Downloading the high res one now.
[edit : watched it in HD, looks better, but no Eternal Sonata, for example]

Weird how this game, N-B's premier RPG series, took a HUGE step back from Eternal Sonata.

Very not graphic focused game I can say for sure, it looks somewhat bad in fact specially animations who is very horrid.
Could be a good game but most tales of game haven't been that grate, Tales of Abyss was the last good ones, and before that a snes game. they just spam out them to much and they get to little focused and polished.

These are the games MS needs on the Xbox 360.. But I fear it will kindof flop for them, because these games don't sell big numbers in the West, and in Japan obviously almost everybody will buy it for the PS3..
I dunno, it's an almost impossible situation MS is in.. They can only win over Japan if they offer more of these games exclusivly then Sony or Nintendo do, and that is very unlikely to happen.. Bassicly MS has to spend lots of money on something they can probably never win over.. All they can do I guess is persist and hope for the long term, keep spending and be patient..
But if you ask me it's a lost battle, because people buy a Western console for Western games and a Japanese console for Japanese games (especially in Japan).. It makes total sense, and I think that's virtually impossible to chance unless MS completly pushes the Japanese consoles of the market (which is not gonna happen)..

If it's not from NIS or Atlus, I really don't care about it. We need more stuff like Disgaea 3 and Agarest Senki on PS3. Not this lame "for everyone on every platform" shit Namco seems to be going for. The game looks very unappealing.

You can dream all you want, kid, but it won't do any good 'cause when you wake up again you'll realize nothing has changed.

Looks just as good as Trusty Bell if you ask me (bit more simplistic though), the cities look quite nice, personally I thought Trusty Bell looked like someone had thrown up smarties in some places, I mean I like colour in games, but there is such a thing as too much.

Looks like the same engine as eternal sonata... this really looks like a sequel.
Eternal Sonata got boring after many houres.... well lets see

I doubt its the same engine, Trusty Bell was developed by Tri-Cresendo not Namco.
Actually looks more like Idol M@ster art wise that Trusty Bell if you ask me.

So basically it's a PS2 game in HD. Graphics of course aren't everything, but I can't see how you could argue these graphics are on par with other 360 or PS3 games (except maybe something like Beautiful Katamari).

This series is for kids or young teenagers... generic story, generic characters, the one on PSP is not very good

Seriously if you think this looks like a HD PS2 games then you need to go look at a PS2 game again.
I'm not saying its amazing or anything but PS2 like is going way too far.
Plus, of course this game uses shaders, it just doesn't use realistic ones.

Just needs work, don't complain it doesn't look good. It's the style they use; simpleness.

This game looks like Eternal Soanta! Wow! It seems like Namco has had quite a lot of practice with the XBOX 360 after Idol Master and Eternal Sonata. I'm glad that the Tales Franchise is finally coming to the 360! I can't wait to play this! What a great Christmas gift from Namco Bandai!
