New Square-Enix IP - The Last Remnant (PS3/360) - UPDATED WITH NEW MEDIA

The Last Remnant

It' s a turn based RPG with Quick Time Events. There will be vast battlefields with hundreds of enemies on screen at any one time. Four races; human - watery creatures - small lizards -cat-like beings with four arms, but there appears to be 2 main characters (one to appeal to Eastern audiences - one to appeal to Western).

It uses UE3.0, is being directed by Hiroshi Takai & Kouzi Kobayashi (Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within) and is set for a Spring 2008 release date (worldwide)

Apparently Square-Enix will be putting more focus on Western games this generation, ...much like Capcom.

This should be very interesting!

yeah looks intresting, ill be keeping an eye on it.

Spring 2008? And worldwide? I have a few doupts but keep your fingers crossed!

What will be interesting about this is how the game compares on a technical level to Lost Odyssey as they both use UE3.0, both have real-time combat elements and both feature large-scale battles. I really like Square-Enix' s approach to this generation. They have what i guess could be considered a 5 year plan and are spanning all formats. This game especially has promise as they say they' re tailoring it to a more western audience. It' ll be interesting to see what they can do with UE3.0 and also how that compares to their own White Engine.

I think their approach is more out of necessity, just like many other developers are doing. The market has changed. Sony no longer has the control they once had, and other markets are becoming more profitable. So for Square-Enix, it' s either stagnate or spread out, despite their ties with Sony.

The scans look impressive but we really need some direct feed screencaps to tell. Either way, I' m just glad we' re starting to see something new from Square-Enix. Milking FF can only go so far.

Argghh... so bad pictures.,,, Can' t see graphixzz.

Dunno enough about this games to actually be interested, but I have to say that the first image of the 3 i a major turn-off, for some reason.

That pic... looks booooring.

..interesting.... ...it' s way to early to judge, but i think i' m pretty impressed.. ...it' s also nice to see square developing a rpg outside of FF that isn' t aimd at pre-schoolers...

UE3.0, that' s a broad spectrum as far as graphics go.

Regardless of technical finesse, whatever Square-Enix turns out is going to be well directed. I' ll probably bum it off a friend.

I feel I have seen this before...
doesn' t that guy with the long hair looks like an older version of the guy from FFXII

It looks visually good,or great in fact,but sure it might suck or be awesome,we will see.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

It doesn' t look as good as Lost Odyssey, or as dark, but depending on what the gameplay is like that might not be a fair comparison.

Looks boooooooooooooooring. Uninspired visual design imo.

I' m not all hyped up about LO but compared I think Lost Odyssey will be the better game... Not that I know anything about Last Remenant... Sight, even the name sounds booooooring! [:' (]
