I really wish they'd re-release the first one for PS4. I never got the chance to play it and have heard nothing but wonderful things.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

Mother of god this year just keeps getting better, can't wait.

 

[Lucreto]

As an owner of the Wizard's Edition for Ni no Kuni, I really wish there was a similar edition for the sequel.

Either way, excited!

I am waiting for the similar edition. It's one of those automatic buys for me.

Super excited.

Might hear about it tonight after the conference.

 

[Meffer]

Is this going to be out in America before its out in Japan? Didn't think there was any shot it'd be 2017 in America so thats rad.

The first one did better in America than it did in Japan.

 

[ChazGW7]

Ohhhh HELL yes.

 

[almostjuliuscaesar]

Japan must think we're in the early 2000s out here. Whew

 

[Linkura]

Excellent news. Any word on a Japanese date?

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Lordy this year.

 

[HvySky]

This year is insane

 

[DalikSkywing]

Steam release same day? Fucking in.

 

[Captain Smirk]

Didn't quite finish the first and no longer have a PS3 to do so on. Do I need to know stuff from the end before going into this?

Seconding this question. I got to Al-Mamoon(?) I think and then delegated my PS3 to the living room as a bluray player.

If so, I'll have to push this game back for a good year or so.

From what I've seen it is a brand new story in a new time but with the same universe e.g. Ding Dong Dell. Probably be references but I think nothing major.

 

[-NeoTB1-]

Woooooooo! Surprised and happy to see this getting a 2017 release.

 

[Rymuth]

Killing it

 

[Mediking]

I SAID GIMME

 

[Mattakuevan]

Whooo~ glad to hear it. Best year keeps getting better.

 

[kevin1025]

Today is already the best E3 day with just that. So close now!!

 

[MulderYuffie]

gonna have to get it so much this year wow!

 

[DataGhost]

PC? Omg yes!

 

[Nameless]

Perfect, playing a good new RPG during the holidays is one of my favorite things in gaming.

 

[The Pet of the Month]

From what I've seen it is a brand new story in a new time but with the same universe e.g. Ding Dong Dell. Probably be references but I think nothing major.

Good to know, thanks!

Now I just need to see if Studio Ghibli is doing the animated cutscenes again.

 

[DJwest]

Wth is this year.

2017 keeps on giving.

Fall 2017 keeps getting more and more packed. If Spider-Man ends up being this year too, holy shit.

If Spidy and God of War 4 are this year, am jumping on a PS4.

2017 is one of the best year for gaming ever good lord.

The true year of dreams.

 

[Captain Smirk]

Good to know, thanks!

Now I just need to see if Studio Ghibli is doing the animated cutscenes again.

No Studio Ghibli this time I'm afraid

but a former Ghibli artist Yoshiyuki Momoseis doing character design.

 

[Devilgunman]

Well, they are slow right now and in July. August too.

Even during slow summer, there are still great games coming out each months

This month - Tekken 7, Next Machina, Crash N. Sane Trilogy

July - FFXII, Fortnite

August- Hellblade, Uncharted:TLL, Sonic Mania, Yukuza Kiwami

September onward: batshit insanity starts

And this is just the PS4. I try to ignore my 3DS and Switch for now.


I hope they bring the first Ni No Kuni to PS4. I need to finish it.

 

[Icolin]

Perfect, playing a good new RPG during the holidays is one of my favorite things in life.

FTFY.

 

[Caronte]

Now remaster the first one.

Spoiler

Please.

 

[Deku89]

Wow, this year is shaping up. Hoping they rerelease the first one on PC. Second one looks great as well.

 

[The Pet of the Month]

No Studio Ghibli this time I'm afraid

but a former Ghibli artist Yoshiyuki Momoseis doing character design.

Darn it

But I expect the game to look great regardless, Level-5 has never disappointed me in that regard

Spoiler

barring Yokai Watch

Thanks for the heads up! Now all I need to do is finish the games I have on hand.

 

[Rue]

I really hope the combat is better in this game. It didn't quite work for me in the first, I'd like it if they either went full turn-based or more of an ARPG this go around.

 

[KZObsessed]

Can't fucking wait for this.

 

[Maintenance]

Sent to die.

 

[The Artisan]

Sent to die.

what?

 

[Servbot24]

The only problem with this year in gaming is that it's too good.

 

[Mifec]

PC? Omg yes!

Yeah was announced months ago to the detriment of everyone denying it in the console debut thread.

 

[CHC]

The hits just have NOT stopped since 2015. This gen is unimaginably good, really a golden age. Definitely a perfect game to cozy up with this fall, loved the first game and double dipped to get the steel book and the CE back then.

 

[Lucreto]

Looking forward to this.

I only have uncharted, Shadows of War, Assassin's Creed and now this for the rest of the year. It's a quiet year for me this Christmas.

It could very well change.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Perfect, will fill the gap untill DQXI.

 

[sinonobu]

If both Xenoblade 2 and Ni No Kuni 2 really makes this year... Oh boy...

 

[Hero Prinny]

really hope it doesn't get delayed.

 

[Primethius]

God, 2017 has been insane for JP titles.

 

[kevin1025]

Sent to die.

what?

I guess because it's in the middle of all the biggies? But I'd say the main audience isn't going to be fazed by Call of Duty, Need for Speed, and Battlefront 2.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Im not celebrating until the game is in my hands.

 

[Elandyll]

LMAO 2017 WONT STOP, I SWEAR TO GOD IF SPIDERMAN RELEASES THIS YEAR ILL DIE

I predict not only Spiderman but at least 1 other big 1st party between GoW, Detroit, Days Gone and Dreams. Plus Knack 2 of course.

Wallets will cry.

 

[arturo2666]

Yes! Fall's have been a drought for me the past few years so this is very welcome.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

yasssssss! fall lineup is looking great.

 

[kevin1025]

I predict not only Spiderman but at least 1 other big 1st party between GoW, Detroit, Days Gone and Dreams. Plus Knack 2 of course.

Wallets will cry.

I think they'll do Detroit and Gran Turismo. Spider-Man on top of that would be insanity!

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah people say it a lot but legit 2017 is one of the greatest years in gaming ever

 

[Elandyll]

I think they'll do Detroit and Gran Turismo. Spider-Man on top of that would be insanity!

Imo it could depend on video release.. well employed marketing bucks (if the game is ready of course).

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I think they'll do Detroit and Gran Turismo. Spider-Man on top of that would be insanity!

Yep.

Detroit
GT
Knack 2
ULL

 

[silva1991]

I wish they didn't change the combat. Aside from AI, the first one was pretty fun and unique.

 

[Merc_]

Wonderful. I hope we get another trailer tonight at the Sony conference.
