Hope Disgaea 4 is announced.

So, what did they show?

**Seahawk** · 06-16-2010, 06:14 PM

I have no clue. After Nintendo's conference I took a nap and didn't wake up in time to watch Sony's. Judging by the overwhelming response here it seems like no one cares much.

Sorry if I come off a bit fanboyish but not having a PS3 I'm not really interested. You can take my place Tails =P.

Here is a link to the recorded conference.

The only thing I care about is if Disgaea 4 was announced. :P

**Seahawk** · 06-16-2010, 06:30 PM

I doubt it, I've heard that Nippon Ichi Software (creators) has gone bankrupt in Japan.

**Tails** · 06-16-2010, 06:30 PM

Seriously? O_O

**Seahawk** · 06-16-2010, 06:33 PM

I don't have a source, but I'm pretty sure I've read it somewhere.

In any case Disgaea 4 doesn't appear on any games lists.

Sorry Tails ='(.

I heard they had a tough time last quarter, they just released the Disgaea game for PSP (which IMO looks bad), and had like 7+ games ready. I think something ported to the PSP?

**Seahawk** · 06-16-2010, 06:45 PM

Maybe I read wrong and they are not bankrupt, but they are definitely having a tough time.

Feb. 8, 2010: Nippon Ichi Software, This Can't Be Good (Part II)

Wikipedia: "During years 2008 and 2009 the financial results for Nippon Ichi saw a huge drop. The January 2009 financial report for the company recorded a drop of more than 97% in income in comparison to the previous year. Kotaku editor Brian Ashcraft reported that after the release of the financial figures "The company's closing price on the JASDAQ (Japanese NASDAQ) was ¥36,200 on Friday. When the market opened this morning, and investors began reacting to Nippon Ichi's financial statement, the stock price ultimately dropped ¥7,000 (US$78) as the stock was unloaded."."

It looks like the Wikipedia article hasn't been updated in a while, but the above statement is sourced. Also according to the same article they have few titles lined up for the future.

As usual take Wikipidea's listed lineup with a grain of salt (or lots of salt if you prefer).

As long as a Disgaea 4 comes out I will be happy. ^_^

Etna ftw.

**Slime Slayer** · 06-16-2010, 07:12 PM

The big sony thing is Portal 2 (witch might be multi-platform) and steam right on your ps3.

**Tails** · 06-16-2010, 07:17 PM

stream right on my PS3? Elaborate.

**Slime Slayer** · 06-16-2010, 07:36 PM

He just mentions it here:

Portal 2 does look sweet.

But yeah, going over to your buddies place to play your new game, and not having to actually bring the game over is interesting. Not sure how well it's gonna do, and I suspect Gabe buttering up Sony is just his way of getting steam in the door.

It is. It will release on 360 and PC on the same day.

**Oldmannes** · 06-16-2010, 10:57 PM

Watched the infamous 2 trailer, bummed about the voce and character change but can't wait till 2011 for it. Oh and Killzone 3 will be great, might have to get a 3d tv after all! Sucks that they screen resolution gets cut down in 3d though.

**TrakMastaTom** · 06-17-2010, 01:42 AM

There is a developer called Nippon Ichi? What an awful/awesome/weird name.

Yes, Nippon Ichi Software. Translates to "Japan First". Also known simply as "NIS". Known for Disgaea series and a ton of other random RPGs.

**Tails** · 06-17-2010, 06:34 AM

Like Makai Kingdom and Phantom Brave as well.

**TrakMastaTom** · 06-17-2010, 04:00 PM

Japan numbuh wonnnn!

Correct. I was going to reply, but you beat me to it. That would be the best translation in the given context, or Number One Japanese Software.

**Timber Wolf** · 06-17-2010, 09:06 PM

I almost feel sorry for Sony looking at this thread, it's not even a complete page, even Microsoft has more pages(albeit most of it is drenched in venom and hate)

**Tails** · 06-17-2010, 09:08 PM

At least Sony is the middleman.

**Dudebro** · 06-17-2010, 09:08 PM

That's because the PS3 is boring unless you're into graphics or blu ray movies.

**Kugyince** · 06-17-2010, 09:09 PM

Sony had a nice looking Castlevania and The Last Guardian didn't look bad either.

Was is Castlevania: Lords of Shadow? If it was, I saw something on Xbox Live about it, so that would make it non-exclusive(not that it's any less awesome)
