Trinity Universe Colliding Into North America

Trinity Universe Colliding Into North AmericaAnother Disgaea and Gust mashup is coming to North America. Idea Factory found a publisher for Trinity Universe.

 

Compile Heart’s* GDC portfolio had a small blurb about Trinity Universe, which noted the game would be released in the USA “soon.” Not a huge surprise, but good to know that Trinity Universe with its 3D Disgaea characters isn’t too far away.

 

There was something odd about Compile Heart’s brochure. They said Trinity Universe was for “PS3/Xbox 360”. When the game came out in October it was only released on PlayStation 3. Cross Edge got an after launch port called Cross Edge Dash. Perhaps, Idea Factory is working on that right now?

 

*(note: Compile Heart and Idea Factory are labels under the same corporate umbrella. Both brands share an office building in Harajuku.)

    Well NIS did stick to sprite work when they did Disgaea 3, and then we had tons and tons of people whining about it, which lead them in this direction. This is why I'm concerned about Disgaea 4. Ideally I would like them to go in the direction of HD sprites, but in all likelihood it will be closer to something like this.

    But this is apparently what people wanted. At least what they thought they wanted. I'm almost certain they didn't realize what they were actually asking for, which means if D4 comes out looking like this we'll have just as much whining from the same exact people, on top of the people who actually liked the sprites. Though I guess sometimes you just need to show people why they're stupid before they actually get it.

    Vesperia may have been backed by a budget, but Eternal Sonata was an outsourced game on a limited budget, but the developers actually knew how to work with that budget. The best we can hope for is for smaller companies like Gust to not get complacent and continue to strive for the benchmark set.

    And yes, ES looks *a lot* better than Rorona…

    I disagree completely with pretty much everything you just said. First, from what I've seen (Note: I own Ar tonelico 3 and played it, my friend owns Rorona and I have only watched him play – not played Rorona myself), Ar tonelico 3 in general looks much better than Rorona, especially the backgrounds. Rorona has detail where Ar tonelico 3 does not, and vice-versa.

    You also make it sound like Eternal Sonata was cheap to develop. They were given a budget from Bamco, you don't know how large it was, nor do I. It is extremely likely that budget is still larger than an Idea Factory, Gust, or Nippon Ichi title. For a Nippon Ichi title, just say Disgaea, there are quite a bit more variables than Eternal Sonata. You have female and male models, many job classes (in both sexes), multiple weapon animations, the like. In this case, it has less to do with “Budgeting” and has everything to do with there being simply more to the game overall.

    i had a feeling it was coming out since it doesn't really have license issues or anything. I will continue to support

    Rorona looks terrible. The game engine cuts to still portraits during dialogue to hide the look, and the battle animations are terrible. The characters do this weak jump as they move from the enemy to their battle stance, it looks horrible. Also whats with this undetailed anime look they decided to go with, super deformed anime faces? No thanks.

    Last Rebellion looks like ****.

    This wont be going multiplat in the US, probably only in japan.

    It is exciting that ps3 owners are getting another US exclusive rpg.
