[29/09/08] Japanese PS1/PSN Games

[JP]

I'll get this thread sorted out tonight after work.

David, I've not seen them yet but is it obvious which cover goes with which title or do you have a link where ever you got the info from?

[VR46]

I just copied and pasted the text from somewhere else, think they all looked different enough to decipher. Sort of.

The cover information is listed there each week.

Not in English though.

I thought that maybe David had seen a translation somewhere which translated each cover and labelled them individually.

Don't worry, I'll sort them out tonight sometime.

(then click on release calendar button at bottom left)

Will help you see which game goes with with game title, but the translation can be a bit ropey text wise.

[JP]

Yeah, I've used it myself as it's usually OK if you've got a list of the correct titles like we do have.

If not, I'm sure one of people who've helped before will be OK to help again.

Finally got around to updating them.

Just updated them and there are some good games this week. I believe that there is some ancient gaming law which states that both Einhander & Raystorm must be bought by everybody.

Xenogears was a fantastic game too but I'm not sure that I have the patience to sit through a Japanese RPG in the way that I used to. I'm still tempted as it's only about ?2:50 and I probably paid closer to ?50 when importing it originally.

rakukagi showtime will probably be bought by alot of people as you generally dont get much change out of ?100 to buy the original

the last PSone treasure game

[JP]

Do you think it's worth picking up? Have you played it?

I'd not heard of it before but it did look interesting when I was looking into it earlier.

I had no idea it was by Treasure though but it does look like one of their games. Being a Treasure game makes it a must buy now.

Its whats her name from Mischief Makers (which i loved personally), i never realised they gave her another game. That looks wicked!

[JP]

Thought I'd start adding videos from some of these games as some people may not heard of them before.

Einhander




Raystorm




Xenogears


That music really brings back some memories.

[SuperBeatBoy]

Xenogears is a classic game even though the 2nd disc is complete arse. Monolith sure went up their own arses with Xenosaga. I do hope the original gets a release westside on the playstation store, wouldn't mind playing it again i love the battle system and music.

My favourite musical piece from the game is Chu-Chu's Flight.

Do you think it's worth picking up? Have you played it?

i do have it and it cost me around ?80

but i havent got around to playing yet

I dunno, I thought Raystorm and Raycrisis were both really crap especially considering thery were squels to the sublime Layer Section / Rayforce. Gameplay in the sequels was way slower with a fudged control mechanic that makes your ship move slower the further it moves from the screen centre and inability to move all the way to the edge. Not too mention the horrible jaggy graphics and lame level design, such a letdown as Layer Section was super smooth and generally an AV feast. Just my 2 cents.
