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.

maybe you should play DQ8 and the various cel-shaded rpgs on the PS2 again before you start proclaiming the truth.

I've played DQ8 recently enough to see what's obvious. Resolution will make the images more clear and sharp, but it doesn't make the game even approach Eternal Sonata's graphical fidelity.

Commented on 2007-12-27 04:48:33 In reply to JigenSo 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).
Hell you even had the black and white drawings of the heroes , and its the same inkless , clean yet simplistic drawings ... You could give it the unreal engine , it would be a waste and not so much better (except imo for some collision issues)

Commented on 2007-12-27 17:09:13 In reply to MegidoTrusty Bell may have had nice graphics but it was a pretty rubbish game, this could be the complete oppisite and I kind of hope it is, because I don't buy games for pretty graphics.
Commented on 2007-12-27 17:23:59Also i'm not complaining about the graphics, i know that j-rpgs in general (and particularly those who want to have an anime look) tend to have a simpler art style and therefore offers less detail. Though i have to say that simple anime style gfx was not always a mark for the "tales of" series, Phantsia looked incredible for it's time and i can't say i'm disappointed with the work they did with Destiny either. Those were of course 2d, but there's high attention to detail in those games that i just can't say i find in these later iterations.
Commented on 2007-12-27 17:39:56However i disagree a bit with you afterward . Tales of Eternia , thought a game i cant enjoy because of its annoying (imo) characters and lame story , featured top notch 2d graphics back then . Just because some gamespot idiot dismiss anything 2d as "ugly" or not awesome , doesnt mean jack .
It featured highly stylised sprites in an hectic tales games with tons of effects , as usual .
Tales of destiny 2 and rebirth were awesomely done too , in the 2d area , and set the bar higher . It just wasnt released in usa and europe .
Lets not even mention the great tales of destiny remake with not only a complete graphic rehaul , but gameplay , story and content one too .
Tales of symphonia on ps2 was quite a feat , given its gamecube lineage , said gamecube game wich wasnt ugly in any way .
The serie lacked seriously in the graphics area around legendia , and only started getting better with Abyss , plagued with loadings and glitchs , and empty backgrounds .
Commented on 2007-12-27 19:49:29 In reply to MegidoI think that people ARE focusing too much on graphic this gen. graphic dosen't make a video game. Thats all, no need to get mad at me.

neolucifer: Eternia looks great but then again that's about it. Every other aspect of the game sucks dong. And that's not even my opinion, that's a full fledged truth. I can't comment on the other games except for Symphonia which looked alright, but hardly amazing in any way.
