(I know you said you did, but really take a second look) I swear, the sprites are the ones meant for PS2 SD resolution and PSP; I really can't understand why it's coming primarily on PS3, other than, when PS3 shipped everyone thought it would lead the market.Disgaea didn't push the PS2, and this one wouldn't push the PS2 either, sure you can fill the RAM with whatever you want; but that doesn't mean it can't be done just the same, it's not like the game primes at having draw distance, since it uses a perspective that doesn't allow it. (and the PS3 version instead of adding more detail most of the time just upscales stuff) @ JeremyR

Plus, Sony is notorious for being complete Nazis about which games they'll allow for publishing in the US. Disgaea didn't even look that great by PS2 standards, and now you have a game that looks almost identical on the PS3. Unless Sony is going to be a lot more relaxed this time around, I'm not expecting a US release.

While not exactly pushing the PS3's graphics capabilities, Disgaea 3 likely couldn't be done on the PS2. It never really hit me until Disgaea PSP, but pretty much everything in the game (other than the cutscene speech) is loaded into system memory to cut down on loading times. Imagine how much extra stuff can be fit in 512 megs of ram instead of 32.And really, until they put the game out, they don't know if it will be more lucrative on the PS2 or PS3. There's not much competition on the PS3 Well, wouldn’t you get tired of using the same engine for game after game after game after game?
