RPG News | Namco to Unveil New Tales Next Week [Update]

By Adam Riley 22.02.2007 15

Following the story about a Tales RPG survey going round, Bandai Namco had announced that a new entry into the role-playing series will be unveiled next week. The game's platform, along with details, has now been revealed to the general public.

Update

It has been revealed on Namco's Tales website that the new game is in fact for Sony's PlayStation 2, named Tales of Fandom Vol.2 (sequel to 2002's Tales of Fandom Vol.1, also on PS2) and is quite unlikely to make it outside Japan. A release date is set for Summer this year.

Hope it's on Wii - that's what I am waiting for a very long time, since Tales Of Symphonia was a blast on Cube and more or less the best RPG there was on Cube.

But ...I fear... *sigh*

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

I doubt it will be on the Wii....... as much as i would like to!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Please let it be a Wii game that has every Tales game EVER on it, in full 3D.

Sony fans shall be envious of US for once! Smilie [/Wii]

I don't think any PS3 tales games have been announced yet, and Namco Bandai aren't going to leave Sony out, are they? I'm hoping it is for Wii or DS, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's a toss up between the PS3 and the Wii (if on consoles), why?

PS3: Namco bum SONY.
Wii: it's selling the best.

If it's on portables it is probably another toss up, the DS version did alright, partly down to it apparently medoicre at best, thought the PSP only did a bit better.


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

PS3: Namco bum SONY.

You were right, Hulk'. Ah well, there's always next week. It isn't as if the DS doesn't have ninety games announced for it each morning anyway.

oh poo

Damn it! Tales of the Tempest turned out to be extremely limited and shallow because of the platform and the storage media, and because it was in 3D. What I want is a new 2D tales game on DS (like eternia on PSP), and a Wii one.

Seems only logical to me, PS2 has the largest userbase for home consoles in Japan. Add the fact that most of the Tales games appeared on PS2...as I said, seems logical enough.

Tales of Fandom? Is it a Tales of Symphonia game where you can make all the female characters have sex with each other?

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society

I feared right. another PS2-thingy. PS2 has thousands of RPGS. Why not bring it to Wii? And what is that 'Fandom' they talk about? Sounds like an online-rpg. Boooooring.

for PS2 Smilie well thats just plain old stupid! Smilie

Oh damn...Japan gets everything...I should have taken Japanese instead of French.
