It's literally "goddess rebirth", unless I'm mistaken.

Ahh.. Shin Megami Tensei, one of my favourite series ever. For a change, these games are actually HARD, and you really WILL die in them. Unlike most RPG's that come out now.

Only thing I hated was how they crammed Dante into Nocturne. Blah. And he's as useless as they come.

Dante as the Dante in my av?

How dare they use him like that.

Post by **Rosiel** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 9:31 pm

Yeah he was shitty. I don't know whos call it was to put Dante in nocturne, but it was a bad idea.

Post by **Femto** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 9:36 pm

It was a crossover deal between companies.

Dante appeared in Nocturne and Kaneko designed the demon forms of Dante and Vergil in DMC3.

Post by **Libaax** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 9:47 pm

Then i must say it was a great deal cause the demon forms in DMC3 was awesome.

Post by **Ruuppa** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 11:27 pm

Kaneko designs rocking demons. Except the goddamn fluffy Jack Frosts. Too japanese for my understanding. The skull-demons were a nice touch, especially Biker.

Can't wait for Kuzunoha Raidou.

There's a Lenneth/Silmeria trailer at gametrailers.com.

I must say, after watching some of the Lenneth footage, I can't wait to get my hands on VP again.

From what little Silmeria footage I saw, the game is pretty close to the original VP gameplay wise. The battle system looks pretty much the same and I saw some platforming segments too.

the mmorpg ZerA has a whole new site layout. ZerA: Imperian Intrigue.

They also added a new video. Truely left me in awe, could have used better music. Movie page

I would have posted this information in the MMO thread if it were still on the front page. Just didn't think i should have revived that great thread that I made with my greatest...oh and Draken helped too.

Hmm, I don´t know. I don´t like it when they mix melee weapons with high-tech equipment (FF7).
I´m still looking forward too "Age off Conan"

MGS digital comic, looks like the comic released in america with animation. Very nice indeed

Shining Wind, a new rpg for the ps2 looks almost identical to Shinning Tears. Here are a couple of screenshots.

It seems sega is sticking with that formula. Shinning Force Neo was also similar in game play, voice acting was horrid though.

Post by **Ayanami** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 3:09 am

How about Sega makes a Shinning Force IV?

Wouldn't that just be terrific?

Hell, while I am at it, why don't they continue any of the great series they left behind when they changed from awesome developer to worst developer in Japan. Sega sucks now, and it is a damn shame.

Still waiting for a Burning Ranger sequal and the Panzer Dragoon Saga sequal ...

Ryu ga Gotoku begs to differ.

... eh? Ryu ga Gotoku is about as far away from GTA you can get.

Post by **Malvado** » Sat Jan 28, 2006 5:47 pm

Full Auto demo was fun and it has Sega in it....

You are probably thinking of Ninkyouden: Toseinin Ichidaiki

Post by **Libaax** » Sat Jan 28, 2006 9:03 pm

Ryu ga Gotoku isnt that game from the makers of Shenmue. About a Yakuza.

Hoping for a miracle that it some day comes here.
