I'll color you "of questionable taste" if you think that VO sounds good. Listen to the only other character than Kaim who speaks and tell me that doesn't sound like the outtakes of an acting class.

The only reason Kaim sounds good is because he's being voiced by an actor who's played lead parts in games for years, and made more out of worse. That dialogue sounds insipidly written, and yes you can tell that just from watching the trailer.

If that dialogue was good enough for an official trailer, somone chose because they thought it best represented the quality one could expect when the game is released.

Where the hell is Victor Ireland when you need him???

(and shame on those of you who don't know who Victor Ireland is)

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> That trailer is almost identical (if not completely identical) to the one that's been on Live since E3. It's a recut at best.

Looks promising, but sweet Jesus that VO sounds absolutely horrible.

Advice to Microsoft: When paying Japanese company to make a Japanese game in English, hire English speaking people to write and direct your game dialogue. That sounded like low grade action flick overdub.

Boo.

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> If it's supposed to be out in japan this year, don't you think they could get new footage for TGS?

Inhert

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Actually, the dubs aren't dubs -- Sakaguchi had wanted the game in English to begin, so presumably it will be in English, subbed in Japanese for the Eastern market. It makes sense why the voice acting is more stellar than would be expected; then again, there was always FFX, which I was pretty floored by (prefer U.S. release to Japanese, personally).

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @kNZA: By "natural lighting", do you refer, pray chance, to the sunshine-like saturation in plentiful evidence in PGR3? Frankly, I wondered if the Motorstorm devs would take notes, and it seems they did, apart from Motorstorm's generally low-detail textures.

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @argh: If you dont like turn based combat, then dont buy it. ;D

At least the world / story sounds interesting though. More than blue dragon anyways.

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> It better have better gameplay than Blue Dragon! BD was a total overhype.

HobbaHobba

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Hopefully it has better gameplay than Blue Dragon.

argh

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @kNZA:

If by "natural lighting", you mean "excessive bloom", no thanks!

Yes, the game looks fine ;)

Well, the trailer here didn't give an indication of what type of battle system it used, really. But mainly I was speaking of the art style. It looks like a Drakengard game.

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Colour me impressed with the English voice acting. I'd still want the Japanese voice track option, but it seems like it may actually be playable with the English dub.

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @7th: How is that when the games battles play like a traditional RPG?

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @Samos42:

Compared it to the E3 07 trailer, nothing is new.

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @fdisk:

FFX-3?

I don't see any beach bums, stupid dancing girls with guns, or a storyline involving a dead monster father with tentacles...

Vecha

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> I dunno. Looks like Drakengard without the dragon to me.

7th

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Feels alot like a modern FF title. Seems like a direct attempt to boost some hardware sales in Japan. I hope it does well, just doesn't look like my cup of tea.

giantmonkeydeathlord

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> I'm kind of into it. Let me see some more in-depth coverage of the gameplay!

kidko

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @Video

Yes this does look really nice. I especially liked how the main character was talking about "I have lived for a thousand years and I can recall none of it, and the battles I have been through. etc etc lovers lost etc"

I will probably go ahead and put this on my list of game's to get. I'm all for epic stories.

--Core--

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> This game reminds me of the old PSone title Soukaigi for some reason.

Despite my distaste for English dubs, I think game developers think it more appealing to the majority of gamers than to have Japanese dialog with English subs.

nojohnso

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Actually, the trailer does have new footage. All those action sequences after the story parts are all new except at the very end when he's looking at the camera and the title shows up.

Samos42

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Wt...I'm actually looking foward to playing this? When did this happen...o.O

Culebra

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Wait...

An immortal amnesiac who seems to regulary forget his past or why he became immortal? Doesn't that sound a bit like Planescape: Torment?

I'm sure that it will differ in the themes, and it probably won't be such a deep story, (I've never seen a story as well done as Torment, so I'm just not expecting one in the near future) but there's a curious famililarity.

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @rich8606:
Yes. Link already posted!


Kreean

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> No idea how it plays? It has a turn based battle system just like the ols Final Fantasy.. Didn't they showed it at last year's E3?

rich8606

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Seems very cool. But hardly going to conquer japan.
I'll pick it up once they release it for PC. :)

mustang

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> It's looks like FFX-3 if there had been one. It doesn't matter, sign me up, I'll be playing this when it comes out.

fdisk

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> A main character with Amnesia!?
What'll those crazy Japanese think of next...

Definitely getting this though, no matter what.


Amazingu

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> The main character looks boring looking TBA. I don't think Sakaguchi is cut out to make games anymore. I mean the guy wasn't even entirely responsible for FF7 onwards. He even admitted himself that he relied more on a 3D oriented producer to handle the games.

Whoaness

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Its funny how this game with the time it keeps getting uglier and uglier, i was so impressed with the first screen (cg) that came out years ago (i think) and they saying that the game was going to look like that...that pic had strong colors and the face looked like a inoue drawing now dont, its all washed up and the faces doesnt have definition... i hope the game rocks, because its the 360 game that im looking more forward into ....

sinny

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @MasterOfPastures: sorry man, still holding out for the falcon. way too many horror stories for me to cave during the homestretch, plus pretty much all the non-bioshock games id want arent out yet anyway.

that said, this one's looking better. is it supposed to be playable at all at TGS? Sorta hoping for that, and some details on Cry-On. Anyway, this is just the kinda thing MS needed last gen (my opinion), glad to see it here now.

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Hey! Quit coughing on my Blue Dragon!

He's had it hard lately ...

kmattson

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @MasterOfPastures: While my launch 360 is also working perfectly, some smart people dont really want to take the gamble. Couple that with insane 6-8 week repair times, and it makes sense to not jump in until some of the kinks are ironed out.

This game does look hot, nothing unique, nothing thats going to shift more then a few units for a few weeks, and then fall off, like sonota and blue dragon.

Belain

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @Gumbydunzeeto: GOD. Stop worrying over it and get one already! My launch 360 is working perfectly. You are acting like a silly stubborn mule.

MasterOfPastures

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @Kaosu: Actually the voice doesnt seem to be as BAD as like some of the other games. *cough* BLUEDRAGON *cough*

Still I do hope also that the J version will have J voices, since I personally hate J games with eng voices in it, just because they always pick the worst fucking voice peeps ever.

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Im pretty certian this is going to be the standard turnbased combat it looks like.

I really should open up the demo and confirm this.

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> @Gumbydunzeeto:
If you're going to wait until this game is out in the states (what, February of 08?) chances are the Falcon chip'll be out by then and running cooler alongside an additional heatsink to the old crapped out 360s. At that point I think you could reasonably expect no RROD so long as you aren't running it constantly while it sits next to your oven.

bnpederson

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Dear God, please have the japanese voice track on the disc! I can't stand this dub. At least in Japanese I can't understand it enough to hate it.

Kaosu

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Looks fantastic!

Now MS, fix that bloody RRsOD problem and I'll happily buy a 360 to play this.

Gumbydunzeeto

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Doesn't look too bad. Story so far seems a bit interesting. A little bit of immortality mixed with some themes of sacrifice will do nicely as an entree.

camb3h

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> Looks great!
Luke gameplay was already shown at E3 2006.
It's very basic, nothing new.

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> What the hell? This isn't new! I've had this on my 360 since E3 2007!

Geetay

]]> <![CDATA[New Lost Odyssey Trailer]]> I wonder if any 360 games will ever pin the "natural lighting" that the best looking PS3 games seem to achieve?

Looking damn fine, though!
