SEGA has announced it has started working on Valkyria Chronicles, a tactical RPG for the PlayStation3.
Valkyria Chronicles is set in an alternate Europe, around the 1930s, during a conflict between the Empire and Federation, where the bad guys uncover an ancient race and use it to conquer the world.
SEGA will use the CANVAS engine for the game’s graphics, which will make it look like a watercolor painting in motion (something like Okami perhaps?). “With its stunningly unique visual style and the new BLITZ tactical system, Valkyria Chronicles is sure to entice gamers to enter its special world and join Welkin and Alicia in their cause to save Gallia” said Elliot Chin, director of marketing for SEGA of America.
Valkyria Chronicles is set to be released in fall 2008, exclusively for the PS3.

Square Enix is going all out with its first Final Fantasy title for the PlayStation 3. In an interview with Japanese magazine Dengeki, one of the big names behind the popular RPG franchise, Tetsuya Nomura had some interesting things to say about the upcoming Final Fantasy XII.
Nomura seemed confident about FF XIII and even went as far as to say that it will probably be the first PS 3 title to actually push Sony’s machine to the limits. Thanks to the built in hard drive of the console and the Blu-ray feature, the leap from Final Fantasy XII to Final Fantasy XIII could be similar to the evolution of FF VI to FF VII, and we all know what a revolutionary breakthrough that was.
Asked if FF XIII will be a PlayStation 3 exclusive, Nomura said: “Of course!”.
Although this all sound very promising, the fact that we don’t even have an estimated release date yet is really disappointing. But hey at least it looks like it will be worth the wait…

Despite focusing on the recently released Mass Effect for some time now, it seems RPG experts BioWare haven’t forgotten about some older titles that conquered the hearts of many gamers a while back.
Dean Takahashi, columnist for Mercury News recently published a piece on his blog saying he “talked with somebody who saw code for Jade Empire 2” and that it is in development for the Microsoft Xbox 360. The game was probably thought as a 360 exclusive, but with the acquisition of BioWare by EA, we’re likely to see it released on as many platforms as possible, we all know EA’s habit of maximizing its profits.
However there has been no confirmation from BioWare so far, so until that happens this remains only a rumor.

Boy some games choose to set their hopes high! There are some games out there that are so good that the thought of someone creating something better doesn’t come to mind very often, games Like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, a game praised by every games site on the internet for almost every aspect. But the Germans at Reality Pump (Earth 2140) seem to like this sort of challenges, let’s see if they can compete.
