I wonder if the starfox game will be like the past two where it's on a "rail" or whatever... or if it will be more of a free-roaming kind like eehhhh Rogue Squadron type...

Anyways... What other RPGs does namco make? I dunno when I think of RPGs I think of Square... and then I guess Enix, but I know others make RPGs, but still what big RPGs have they made?

Star Fox will be the same as the last two Star Fox games. They'll probably have free-roaming boss battles like Star Fox64 though.

*reads IGN article*...

"The game is being developed by the same folks at Namco who brought us Ace Combat 2 for the PS2; footage of Ace Combat 2 running on the PS2 was shown to highlight the team`s past efforts."

Ace Combat 2 was on PSX, the only AC game on PS2 is AC4

anyways...



what do you think that is? Some sort of FMV? an actual picture of the game (maybe like an intro of sorts)? Just a little drawing? A small demo of what the game might look like? What? I dunno if they had that in the IGN article, I didn't read the whole thing

Oh and BTW, that "3D racing game" is a ridge racer game... says so at videogames.com...

there's a link to their story...

Well, well, well...... looks like I was right about a new Starfox/Lylatwars shooter being on the way. Of course, I assure you that I will live up to my usual stupidity. Anyways: Great news! Nintendo's third-party relations are getting better by the day.

LOL ....hehehe

"Anyways... What other RPGs does namco make? I dunno when I think of RPGs I think of Square... and then I guess Enix, but I know others make RPGs, but still what big RPGs have they made? "

The local critic

Well the tales seires sell pretty well in Japan I think.....although I must admit that the are rpg's they produce aren't ask big as Square but that doesn't mean that it won't be as good or can be as good...besides 2 rpgs is 2 more than the N64 had. ( well that's assuming that the rpg's that are coming out for cube are good)


WOOt woot my news made the front page at GT ...( sorry, I just couldn't resist editing that in)

Well, to anyone who is interested apparently some screens of the Tales RPg and Mr.Driller were also shown at the press confernece. Tales seems to have a cel-shaded look.


O and BTW, Namco also works on the Xeno games. Well, they are making the sequel Xenosaga.













And just for personal taste, I think these pic is pretty cool:
