The Cursed Crusade Dated, Given A $39.99 Price Tag
The Cursed CrusadeYet another promising title adopts an October launch date, and we can already feel our wallets beginning to sweat.
But in the case of Kylotonn's The Cursed Crusade, we won't have to shell out quite as much. Atlus has revealed that the new action/RPG will sport an agreeable $39.99 price tag, which means that when it arrives on October 11 in the US, it has a better chance of leaving store shelves.
You can catch more details at the game's official website, where you'll find a series of informative developer diaries. Here's one trailer for you; it's called "Templar's Curse" and offers more footage than we've ever seen before.
So what do you think? Does Atlus have a winner on their hands? You're not suddenly skeptical due to the budget-like price tag, are you?

I'd like to see this B-Grade pricing model become more prevalent for retail games. This is either the 2nd or 3rd title I've seen recently to pitch itself at a lower price point.
I really hope it sells well.

I swear you'd complain that there was one tiny cloud in a bright blue sky...or that the sky was too blue.
Also, you have your seasons reversed. Is your world just upside down?
(Fane1024 apologises to our other residents of the southern hemisphere; the joke was just too apropos.)

Yeah, they don't release *any* quality games outside September - November.
July and August are the only months this year that *Sony* isn't releasing at least one AAA first-party game, not even counting third-party exclusives and multi-plats.

I'm not really into RPG type games, so I wouldn't know how good it will be/might be, but I think this is perfect timing to show all the developers & publishers your buying power towards a much lower pricing policy.
And who knows, if this game gets great sales, it could lead to a few others opening their eyes and rethinking some sort of future game release price drops too.
FYI, another thing you need to remember for all of you that played on the very first Playstation console, was that while most games were still $50/$60 even back then in 2000, Zombie Studio's & Gotham Games had put out a brand new PS1 game that released for only $9.99.
It was called "Spec Ops: Stealth Patrol" and granted, the graphics were a bit rough, but at $30/$40 cheaper than everyone else, it still wound up a great bang for both my buck and I'm sure for who ever else bought it too.
The other "plus side" of this cheap game was that "Take 2" then took over and published 3 more Spec Ops games that I know of(and still own), SO:Ranger Elite, SO: Covert Assault, & SO: Airborne Command for that same cheap price of $9.99.
"And we all know how big Take-2 has become".
BTW, Although it certainly won't be selling for $9.99 anymore, I'm still awaiting for Take-2 to bring out Spec Ops: The Line, supposedly sometime in early to mid 2012.

It's more of an Action/Adventure than an Rpg it might have rpg elements though.
