Just saw that Growlanser Generations didn't get out this week. Eb games has it listed at 8/10 now.

I'd complain if I didn't have a stack of SRPGs to get through anyway. I've already got La Pucelle Tactics, Front Mission 4 and Advance Wars 2 in rotation anyway... it'll take at least two months to get through all those as is... maybe more.

Not to metion I also have AtL Collection, Final Fantasy Tactic, FFTA, Fire Emblem, Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis, Shining Force and the Arkz side of PSO III to finish, too. At this rate the next two Fire Emblems will be here before I know it ><

 

[belgurdo]

Jesus, WD is a joke. Atlus should show them up and just translate the Japanese Collection in like 6 months.

 

[Kumiko Nikaido]

You honestly think WD will ever release Growlanser Generations? Vic is playing one big, fat ass joke on us.

 

[BobbyRobby]

I expect it around this time next year. And like the author of this post, I have so many damn SRPGs to finish I don't really mind.

Edit: When it does get released though, it will kick ass.

 

[neptunes]

does anybody care anymore?

This game was to be released how long ago?

 

[BuddyC]

i thought this was a given, especially considering it's Working Designs. Alas.

 

[Mock]

Well, I was honestly oblivious to WD being big on delays. I got ATL Collection used waaay after release and honestly never cared for the Lunar series (a resounding meh). I like my SRPGs though, so its on my list.

I'm a patient man and have plently of other SRPGs to play, not to mention I'm still playing FFXI.

 

[JackFrost2012]

Working Designs? More like Working Delays!

To ho ho ho ho.

 

[jase]

Honestly, how the hell does WD stay in business? They haven't released a game in over 2 years.

 

[belgurdo]

Mafia connections

 

[NotMSRP]

Vic sells his crap on eBay to keep WD afloat.

 

[Uncle Dukey]

I guess their overhead is so low that they can survive on a single game for years.

 

[Shouta]

What made you think it was going to be out in late June? I've always heard it as slated in mid-August.

 

[Soul4ger]

It's a good thing. I'm gonna need a couple more months to save up the $90 for the DX Edition.

 

[Diomedeskun]

I love SRPGs like few other Genres, but there have been too many of them lateley with no traditional RPGs for some time.

Thankfully, we have Tales of Symphonia and Star Ocean 3 to give us some variety. I was used to 1 SRPG a year, and the recent trend of games is too much, even if Front Mission 4 has had me in its unrelenting grasp for the past week.

 

[DarienA]

Growlanser = PS3 release title!

 

[dark10x]

Why does it matter?

I mean, it should be expected that their titles will be delayed. If you want one of them, you just sit back and wait and eventually it will show up.

 

[signet]

What do you want? Those Chinese kids can only make so many finger puppets and cheesy watches in a day.

 

[elitehebrew]

GGGGRRR... whats new though. I'm mainly waiting for Lunar 3 MMMmmm

 

[GermanOfficer]

We should know by now how WD works....slow... ok slow as hell but at least they do not screw up their games.

There is enough to play till August. FM4, ToS, SO3...


GO

WD used to be great back in the 16-bit and early 32-bit days, when they'd bring over titles no one else would. But let's face it, the way things are now, it's usually a bad thing when they get a license, since it takes them incredibly long to do a translation filled with bad jokes not originally intended for the original title, and companies like Atlus can get out the same titles in less than half the time it takes WD.

Silhouette Mirage and the translations of games like Popful Mail and Albert Odyssey beg to differ

 

[signet]

Albert Odyssey was great, I need to get a Sega Saturn again.

 

[Defensor]

I still have my Growlanser sword from E3 2 years back. Out of curiosity, is this the only game WD has been working on this entire gen?

 

[signet]

They did Silpheed: The Lost Planet and Gungriffon Blaze that came out at launch. WD was also porting a Goemon game to the PS2 but Sony put the kibash on that.

I never had any problems with the US version of Popful Mail. The voice acting/dialog was by no means bad.

 

[cvkpaladin]

I liked the VA in Popful Mail. Don't remember that much of the game but I do remember that The Nutcracker (I think that was the name) being hilarious. Ofcourse I played the game when I was 12 so my opinion would probably be a little different now.

They weren't porting it... They were localizing it. And everyone, EVERYONE said that game was worthless. I think Sony did us a favor in putting the stops to that, for once.

 

[Azrael]

I think it's worth pointing out that if they hadn't decided to publish Growlancer 2-3, Atlus wasn't interested in publishing them, so they wouldn't have come over here at all. I'd rather have a company like Atlus bring over Growlancer 2-3 than Working Designs, but it was either Working Designs publishing them, or them not being released in the U.S. at all. Working Designs is so small fry at this point, if they're publishing something in the U.S., it's because they didn't have any competition from other publishers who were interested that could outbid them.

 

[MoxManiac]

You know, while I usually roll my eyes for WD's delay, I have to say i'm actually glad this time, as i'm not ready for the game yet.

I honestly should know better than to look forward to it though, after the mammoth dissapointment that was ATLC.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Urgh, with all the other stuff coming out this year, like I want to wait to buy this. I think I'm gonna check prices on the JPN versions...
