Squenix dates Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, Star Ocean 4, screens

chautemoc | June 10, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

Infinite Undiscovery, the first in a series, will be out Septemeber 2 for North America, Septemeber 5 for Europe, and Japan on Septemeber 11. Certainly strange they're getting a game last, especially an RPG, but president John Yamamoto says they plan on making upcoming releases global events.

The Last Remnant, powered by the Unreal Engine 3 (as was Lost Odyssey), will be on the Xbox 360 this winter; its PS3 window is unknown.

Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope is set for the 360, to which it will be exclusive, in 2009.

(Note: the screenshots pictured are in order of the games as listed previously, two each.)

It looks as if 2008 is set to be the year of the role-playing game. Earlier this year Mistwalker's Lost Odyssey was released on the Xbox 360, and Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors was recently released on the Wii. Portables also picked up some action, with titles including The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings coming to the Nintendo DS.

As far as the rest of the year goes, it's looking pretty good too. Two long-awaited epics are on the way--Peter Molyneux's Fable 2, and Denis Dyack's Too Human. On top of that, Baroque is coming in July for the Wii and PlayStation 2, and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is imminently due for release in Europe, with both already out Stateside.

And if all those games weren't enough, Square Enix has added another two RPGs to the roster this year, with a third to follow in 2009.

Star Ocean 4 an Xbox exclusive?! That's a shame. I would have liked to have seen this game on PS3 as well.

  I'm pretty sure Microsoft is cackling its little heart out right now. "Ze RPGs, ZE WILL ALL BE MINE!" (Microsoft is German for some reason.)

    I covered Last Remnant and Star Ocean 4 in my articles.
    
    Star Ocean 4 isn't confirmed to be an exclusive yet, with the information we have. There are signs that point both to multiplatform and the 360-exclusive.

      SF4 came later, and you had different screens for Last Remnant. Would've excluded that anyway but it didn't show up as a possible duplicate.
      And the source said its exclusive, just going by that.

Whatever happened to Sony being the RPG master? I can barely count the massive amounts of RPGs on the PS2, but on PS3 I can count maybe on one hand how many RPGs we have.

Don't udnerstand why 360 is getting waves of RPGs, and PS3 gets none.

  Because developers see Final fantasy on ps3 and go "Hell no, im not going up against that".
  
  And so go to 360. This gen 360 seems to have more fps's and RPGs too.

    Yeah, but I highly doubt that FF13 and Versus will make THAT much of an impact. PS3 still needs RPGs, and if devs keep wimping out, we'll have next to none by the end of the PS3's life.
    
    In general, the PS3 has less of every genre out there than all of its competition.

I really think that FF13'versus well bring back the rpg flare that the PS's had.

  If it ever releases, that is. We'll be waiting one helluva long time.
