SO4 images, videos and trailer

SO4 images, videos and trailer

Square-Enix released what should be the very last Japanese trailer of Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and I'm actually impressed by how good the game looks (besides some almost creepy 3d character models).
Update: Added the new images and videos from today's update of the game's official Japanese site.

Visually this game is a monster and the action/battle mechanics look very well done.

This game looks sharp, both technically and gameplay considering SO's 3 gameplay. I hope in the same deep weapon upgrade system and a decent story.

I hope not to be disappointed again from a jrpg this gen.

Just amazing, now thats a trailer.

Great trailer with top notchcharacter modelling, but I'm hesitating on this because Infinite Undiscovery (also by Tri-Ace) wasn't very good, and the western versions of this will have forced US dubbing. (which was beyond abysmal in Infinite Undiscovery)

Yeah there's no way I'd pay $60 for this myself, but it's worth at least a rental if only for... http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj53/loligagger... *ahem*

Yep me too!, Gamespot have a hands-on and it looks like this is going to be a solid game all round.

Looks like great fun but I have to agree, Tri-Ace's character designs always make them look like porcelain dolls!
Commented on 2009-02-06 16:57:47
this games looking frigging amazing!

porcelain doll faces, its their style not exactly a bad think art styles a decision each studio makes.

I'd say its a mixed-bag visually. Some of the character models look amazing, but the environmental textures are pretty weak. And what's with the texture on that tree in picture #3?

Oh, and the lighting in those snow pictures doesn't change, even though the whole area gets lit up in the second pic...

Whoah thoes videos are amazing, the visuals really come to life and look so lush, cant wait for this bad boy.

Graphics are totally a mixed bag, it can look horrendous, almost last gen at times (look at the pic with that pink.......thing).

And on the other hand, it can look amazing, almost cg-like during cutscenes when the focus is on the characters which for the most part look pretty damn good (although creepy).

I know what you mean, when you watch the videos and see it in motion it does really come to life.

This stuff is first class. Too bad I don't own a 360 anymore, but I might acquire a new one just in time for this.

Wow, long time no see :D

The cutscenes feel improved over past videos in this one. Doesn't seem bothersome at ALL. Which is a relief, even though there is still some issues there obv

If god existed though, he'd put Japanese voices with English subs on this game. I want that so bad.
Commented on 2009-02-07 02:03:50
I've actually figured it out. It's not the animations that are so incredibly bad, they are passabel, it's the camera work that totally wrecks it. The camera movement is just incredibbly stiff and unnatural making it feel like one of those really early 3d games. All static angles and abrupt halts.

If I got that trailer correct, it will be 3 DVD's, also seems that there isn't much real time rendered scenes and most seems to be with the in game engine.

I really find this game to look really darn impressive, and it also seems to keep SO3's combat system :) I'l be sold and have a fun few sleepless weeks ahead.
Commented on 2009-02-07 03:02:54
Yeah they are a bit awkward. Maybe that is why these videos seem improved, because they have better camera work in them
I like the Japanese voices so much in these videos :(
