Level 5 to reveal new PS4 game at E3

He is hoping to reveal it at E3 and I'm assuming that means he's targeting Western market, so YW is quite unlikely.
You know what dreams are :'(.
IIRC it did really well in the west.

Eh, I hope it just comes out before 2015 ends. Need momentum on that front bad.
Hopefully VC's big sales open some eyes that oldschool JRPG backlogs can bring in money.

a little past 1mil if I recall correctly. The majority of sales came from the west, it didn't sell too well in Japan.
I'm sorry to inform you you've been diagnosed with a "you're dead inside" condition.
PS3 version shipped over 1.1 million copies worldwide. PS3 + DS version shipped over 1.7 million copies.

Get that fucking E3 hype machine running Hino.
Give me Dark Cloud 3, Rogue Galaxy 2 or Yokai Watch (i cry everytim I think about what it could've been) for the PS4 or give me nothing.
Adam Boyes I know you're watching this topic, if you want the PS4 to be sort of relevant in Japan I'd secure games like YW on your console. DQ is a very good start though. (I know you're from SCEA but pass this message to your colleague in Japan :lol)

A new IP is also cool

It would have to be something with much wider appeal than YW to be at E3.

Would love it to be Dark Cloud 3 but honestly Ill take anything from Level 5. I have total faith in their games.
More like Japanese third parties are.
We already have SE / Konami / Bamco / Sega / KT / Capcom on board. Not to mention about mid-sized publishers. Among big pubs we sere missing L5 but not anymore.

Yeah, seems like everyone is jumping on board earlier than last time.

I wish Sony would commission a Japanese RPG by a more talented studio, but it is better than nothing I guess.

A new IP?
So nothing at Game Awards or Sony event?

That depends if they announce Dragon's Dogma 2 as a PS4 exclusive..,well actually DD is not that huge of an i.p but the first sold well in Japan.
That cel-shaded goodness of rogue galaxy. Fingers crossed for a time skip that allows for a MILF version of Lilika.
Last time was an outlier. They tried to branch off but after a lot of soul searching (and a few failed endeavors) they came to realize where their audience lies.
He's joking, dude. Check his tag.

I've been waiting to see more JRPGs for a while now.

That does have the potential to be stupidly epic. I'd really like another, if they can sort out the shitty level design of the planet in the first game.

Just because a game is being announced doesn't imply it's hasn't been development for quite some time.
Besides there is very little indicative of Level 5's works to claim they make an announcement for a game that doesn't come out years later, so I really don't see what sort point you were trying to make with this.

This pretty much confirms a new Dark Cloud / Dark Chronicle game.
Sony registered the Dark Chronicle trademark back in March. Didn't Akihiro Hino also hint at a new Dark Cloud game a couple of months back?

For once, I'm actually dead serious. Rogue Galaxy is probably the worst game I've ever beaten and the Dark Knight Chronicles games sucked as well.

New Dark Cloud would be excellent.

it will be Wonder FLick Ultimate Scarf edition folks
and you ALL will enjoy it

To be honest, unless they keep Hino well away from the writing and game design, I am going to be skeptical. While I liked White Knight Chronicles, it is a deeply, deeply flawed pair of games. What cool setting and gameplay concepts they had were ruined by horrible execution and mismanagement. And Gundam AGE's absolutely terrible writing does little to encourage any faith in Hino.
I think Level-5 can do excellent work, but their strengths definitely lie in visual design, setting concepts, and gameplay concepts. If they can partner with someone who can help them with writing and game design work, they can probably make something incredible.
So I will be cautiously optimistic, at least until we know more details about the project.

I wouldn't be so hyped after WKC..

Yokai Watch 3
PS4 saved in Japan

Level 5 doesn't have any other game with wider appeal than YW. It would be a huge get for Sony, the franchise is already bigger than FF in Japan and looks like it could challenge DQ and MH even.
