Summon Night 5, a new PHYSICAL UMD PSP release by Gaijinworks (Working Designs)

[Necromancer]

The final tally for Class of Heroes 2 was only 2700, so it's kinda ridiculous for him to expect this one to sell more than twice as many.

Well, Summon Night is a bigger and better IP, so I'm guessing the hopes were that it would garner more interest.  It's still a really hard sell but I believe they will bring it out digital only if they don't get the numbers for a physical printing.

[Necromancer]

Better IP or not, it's more than two years later and on an even deader platform.

Since Victor Ireland started Gaijinworks, who else here has bought games made by it and how much did you enjoy them ? What were they like ? The last game I played by him was "Lunar 2: Eternal Blue" for PS1 and I loved it. Need to hit my Arc the Lad collection some day when I move forward in my backlog of PS1/PS2 games, paid $85 for the thing when it came out after all. Anyway, wanted to hear about his current generation of games and how enjoyable they are compared to his WD label.

Yeah, I finally beat Arc 1 recently & started Arc 2 after all these years.  I ended up picking Arc 4 & 5 for cheap.  Originally didn't get them cuz I heard they were lousy.

Compared to Arc I and II they are awful. End of Darkness is completely abysmal with no real redeeming qualities iirc. Twilight of the Spirits is probably a decent enough game if you just look at it like a generic JRPG.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Yeah, I'm not expecting much from either one, but, occasionally I end up enjoying games to some degree, when I hear nothing but bad about them.  It's kind of a reverse psychology thing I think.

[Gypsy]

Yeah when you don't have any hype or expectation for a game then it has nowhere to go but up. I had that happen with a few critically panned games recently. Though I find a lot of the time reviews are way too extreme one way or the other.

At least I was able to finish Twilight of the Spirits fwiw.

BUMP!  You can preorder this now!!

I supported the survey mainly because it's great to see new PSP releases. I'm not too familiar with the tactical RPG genre. How hardcore do you think this game is?

[Necromancer]

I got mine ordered.  Now begins the inevitable delays and the waiting game.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Ordered mine as well.  Never played the other games or really know much about them, but it seems like a game I'd support, so I wait for my UMD.

Just wait till Bloodstained misses its release date....

[Punch]

Won't order. Why in the world would I want a new, physical PSP release in 2015 beyond collectardism purposes? I mean I understand if you're doing it because you're a fan of Victor Ireland or you played Summon Night 4, but I don't fit in any of the above so whatever.

Seriously, who the hell plays UMD based games in 2015? Be honest.

As do I, though I've been focusing on my Vita lately.
