PSXE Poll Update: Most Wanted RPG Is White Knight Chronicles
White Knight ChroniclesWe've been all kinds of excited about the upcoming PlayStation 3 RPGs, and we wanted to know: outside of Final Fantasy XIII, what was your most anticipated title?
Well, despite falling off the radar for a while, Level 5's White Knight Chronicles wins by a significant amount; nearly doubling the vote total for the runner-up, Demon's Souls. WKC will be headed to North America some time early next year, and it sports a dynamic combat mechanic plus a definite incentive to test out the online multiplayer. As your avatar will explore both the single-player campaign and the multiplayer scenarios, he will be able to use any acquired equipment and items in either mode. The full customization of your character lends a bit of Western-oriented freedom to the standard JRPG genre, and the battle is what they call a cross between turn-based and action. Of course, Demon's Souls will get here much earlier - it's slated to launch on October 6 - and has already received rave reviews. Perhaps surprisingly, The Agency just topped Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins for third place, and we'll definitely provide you with more info from SOE as it becomes available.
Now, we turn our attention to a current event that has been capturing headlines everywhere: the rumored release date of Gran Turismo 5. Amazon lists it as December 29, but GTPlanet says it should launch even earlier. So when do you think it'll arrive? Do you buy this recent info, or do you still believe it won't hit shelves until 2010? Vote now!

And I wouldn't be surprised if 'Gran Turismo 5' hit this year, but I don't want to overexcite and then disappoint myself, so I'll just keep working under the assumption that it's coming out next year.

for Demon's soul, the Jap was released in Feb 2009 and we will have our version in Oct 2009 and that's a much acceptable timeline.

I'd take DS over it at any rate even if I will probably still play it-but as a UK gamer I won't be able to get DS unless I import and I've already been ripped off over it once when I tried to get the asian with english subs version a while back(got sent a PS2 game in a SotC box!)so if anyone can reccommend a reliable US import site for the US release I'd be thankful!
Btw, anyone else feel that there are even fewer Japanese games coming either west or to the EU this generation? I don't get why as all they need to localise is make a patch for subs available with region free PS3 games too-where's my Yakuza3 and Kenzan! for PS3!

Level-5 on the other hand has been proving to be quite the contender in the RPG department. WKC looks fantastic and it's killing me that it's taking this long to get it.

But Demon's Soul's<---(wtf? demon's and soul's :O) a close second. Though I like WKC I'm not sure if the story's really good. That's what truly will decide how good that game is, for me.

Anyway yay for PS3 RPG's, essentially interesting alt games, the odd fps some civilisation and everything RPG defines my gaming taste, Sonys line up looks to seriously satisfy my already reasonably content palate.

On topic: I'm 100% sure GT5 will be released on December, GT Planet is a reliable source.
