Cross Edge RPG Coming to PS3
NIS America recently announced that Cross Edge is coming over to America this May. It’s going to be a conglomeration of characters from NIS, Capcom, Namco, and other developers in one new RPG. You can read more about it here .
At first, I was excited to hear the news. One of my wishes for 2009 was for more RPGs for the PS3, so it looked like my wish was on the verge of fulfillment. Then I found gameplay videos on YouTube. My excitement depleted faster than it arrived. The gameplay appears to be identical to Disgaea, and well hey, a few characters from Disgaea are on the roster so Disgaea fans should be very happy indeed. The graphics are also straight out of Disgaea, which is once again great for Disgaea fans, but that’s a joke for a platform as powerful as the PS3. These graphics belong on the Nintendo DS or a PlayStation 2, but not on the PlayStation 3.
At the very least, bring us the graphical content similar to Tales of Vesperia or Eternal Sonata. That’s not asking too much.
So I guess I’ll keep playing my Xbox (when I get a chance… I’m really missing playing games!) and Nintendo DS until Final Fantasy XIII comes out NEXT YEAR.
