    Folklore Building Bridges

    Worst game title in recent memory? FolksSoul. There isn't even a space! Say it a few times out loud. It's truly rotten. No wonder they retitled this PS3 game for the Western market — though, Folklore isn't really that much better. Though, the developer certainly was banking that the game would appeal to both Western and Japanese gamers. Folklore producer Eric Fong says: More »

    Lair Gets New Title in Japan

    PS3 title Lair is getting a newfangled name for Japan: Rise From Lair. It's not unusual for titles to get localized for release — for example, take FolksSouls which was retitled Folk Lore for the West. No word whether the game will be retitled for the West, but geez, we hope not! Rise From Lair sounds like a poorly titled sequel to Lair. Brian Ashcraft More »

    Resistance Opens Servers, MotorStorm Gets Online

    Irritating thing about MotorStorm in Japan? No online. Irritating thing about Resistance online? The games were server based. So living in Japan meant that I'd only play with Japanese folks — Which is fine. But, you know, sometimes you want the death matches to have an international flavor. Sony just sent out an email saying that Resistance will be on region-less servers now, meaning Japanese people can play online with North Americans and Europeans. Other details? Sony also mentioned that a FolksSoul (Folk Lore) will be getting a playable demo starting June 1st, and the Japanese version of MotorStorm will *finally* be getting online. Guess I shouldn't have sold back Resistance. Guess I should buy MotorStorm! Brian Ashcraft More »

    FolksSoul Becomes Folklore?

    Unknown Realms. Monster Kingdom. FolksSoul. If there's one thing Game Republic and Sony aren't lacking in for their PLAYSTATION 3 action RPG, it's names for the project. They got names comin' out of their folkin' eyeballs. More »

    FolksSoul Demo Coming, Title Still Sucks

    Once upon a time, upcoming PS3 game FolksSoul was called Monster Kingdom: Unknown Realms. Then somebody (dunno who) probably decided that that title was too generic. So, they decided to change it to something different and stupid — Hence, the current moniker FolksSoul. Not only is it annoying in its own right, just look at that kooky spacing! More »
